Paragliding in Norma

....it shows up how most of the italian villages look like. Mountains ridge (to protect themselves in the long and dark middle age). A main castle, also because Pirats from the sea liked to make escursion deep in the shore to go shopping for nice girls food and other goods. And of course churches with the massive bell tower. The bell was used to advise the people involved in the field works that a treat (armed men) was appearing at the horizont. Most of the incursion was made by the near by villages or city, and there was a never ending conflict for stolen animals, raped females, or any other offense they can exchange. It was the hard competition for the survival. by Vidimart

    This gave me butterflies. I absolutely loved it, and I am still in awe.

    I must do that before I die

    If I had an HD camera, there would be no way I'd take it paragliding, no matter how secure it is. Very nice video as well, really great idea.

    ;-) for me opposite works: if i did not like to take it with me I would not get one. Also, i am amazed that it survived so long - takeoffs and landing are potential treat for fragile equipment. Recently, in turbulence, i broke "quick release" and almost lost the cam.

    Very nice! What are these warning-sounds at the end?
  • Marcin Kostur 2 years ago
    It is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variometer
    "warning-sound" means ascending ;-)

    I just joined, only to be able to comment on this video. Flying for seven years and for sure this is the best paragliding video I've ever seen. Many people will start paragliding ( or already started :) ) after watching this one.

    Beautiful music , wonderful video! Brilliant! Awesome!

    Going to fly there one day...Thanks Marcin!
