i am wondering where this is thou? i am in South korea near suncheon about an hour and a half from gwangju and searching for somewhere to fly! any info would be spectacular! cheers
Chuncheon is the capital of Gangwon province. it's roughly 2 hours east of Seoul. Frankly, I wouldn't actually recommend this particular place to do paragliding as it is extremely small, and the landing site is a tiny rectangular area that rests directly between two highways, lots of trees, and some very up-close-and-personal electric power lines, so... quite the challenge, if you're up for it! I don't do this sport myself (yet...), but I don't think I'd like to start out here. YMMV
There are always paragliders sailing over the capes at the coast...what a feeling it must be. If you ever have paragliding adventures of your own, make sure to bring a camera :)
I appreciate the compliment. I've been observing this man and his group (there are about 15 of them as far as I know) doindg their regular launches, but this was the first time I was up at the top with them.
nice, i live in dongducheon and i come to chuncheon a lot but not at that site.but nice job.

This is not the regular launch for the chuncheon club. They have a better launch and huge landing area nearby.

At the time I made this video, this WAS their launch site. They have since moved to the place you are referring to. You're right; it is MUCH better!

Thanks! Someday soon I'll try my hand (make that "hands") at this paragliding thing. It look exhilarating!

Yes, but how would I hold it? :)

Methinks you would have to enlist the help of someone on the ground to record it for you. Or strap it to yourself.
