  • Brian, you should take on base jumping :)

  • @surefirefan

    I have done an assortment of BASE jumping. It is really fun. As a dad, I have backed off on such things. It can be quite dangerous. I would

    be happy to do a high BASE jump, as in Norway or Switzerland. I find ground launching gives me a similar feeling of freedom of flight in a natural context, and it allows me to preflight my aircraft before takeoff. I highly recommend it. Thanks for watching!

  • Oh "no sweat" about the video! I have just been waiting for it so I figured I'd ask.

    Is there any blog, or post about your accident with the paraglider? I didn't know you crashed actually!

    I am hoping to get to your canopy class when you come to Maine in June!

    There is an account of the experience in my book: "Greenlight Your Life" I don't speak of it often, unless there is some positive aspect that I can use. No point in telling our bummer stories unless we can bring something good out of it!

  • sweet deal!! whats up with you packing video??

  • Sorry about the Delay on No Sweat parachute packing made easy. It turns out that having a kid can really slow things down. I am just about done with it. I would rather a delay than put out a crappy video. I hope you understand...

  • Excellent video, gave me chills, especially the cameradic sky-diving part. I was grounded for a year following a major paragliding accident (my own fault - flying extreme conditions at an extreme site, although i got away with it for five years before it bit me) Keep on keeping on! :-)

  • Right on!

  • LOVED the video and the thoughts!!!!!

  • dorbie:

    I just ordered the video. I am reading the PPG Bible now, great resource! I now have my own PPG system, can't wait for it to warm up enough to fly!! I am hooked!

  • Nice one Brian.

    Paragliders are better now, and aren't worse than the risks you take skydiving.

    It's a shame you took so long to get back in the PG saddle. Welcome back you have a lot to teach the PG community.
