Bruce

[KatariaGujjar]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing.

I've flown a Cessna once over the mountains in Gilgit, but haven't learned how to paraglide yet.

A couple questions:

1) Was the temperature at the peak altitude any lower than at the ground from where you took off?

2) Did you need any oxygen-supply equipment? I ask this because the air is normally very thin at high altitudes, and makes breathing difficult.

[fareedayazi]

What an amazing video

speechless:D

[wendyandmart]

sylvester = absolute legend and hero.

[mhrluscombe]

Excellent, looking forward to watching the complete film.

Being a Pakistani in England seeing this is literally making my mouth water.

Karakoram in Pakistan is Crazy dream

[alexandercaicedo]

Learning to fly from Pink floyd comes to my mind watching this amazing video

[matwaniwal]

such an etraordinarily spectacular video i have even seen

[davidmmcmillan]

Awesome video, does paragliding get any better than this?

I was up in the Karakoram on my motorcycle about 4 years ago and remember seeing some paragliders above the Eagle's Nest in Karimibad (maybe it was you)....this inspired me to take up paragliding, which I am eagerly learning now. And yes, the Pakistanis are the most hospitable people I have ever met.

Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing this unbelievable experience!!!

[99THPROBLEM]

@davidmmcmillan Much appreciated. Thanks alot.

[getkhizer]

@davidmmcmillan : Man you are always welcome to try it.

[fairyprincess909]

I love this video; it's just utterly spectacular!!! Very nicely done :)

haha, I laughed at the part when John said "They're very nice people here... and quite crazy sometimes. We're cray in the sky and you're crazy down here".

[upnupnup]

John, mate total respect you are The Birdman!

[skatadict]

Good work matey. KLAMM

[iftyshifty]

This is Pakistan and not the crap that you see on CNN, i promise you. They are very hospitable people who will treat you like family.

Hey John if you are ever in the Halifax/Bradford areas then let me know. It would be a pleasure to take you out for a curry mate.

PEACE TO YOU.
