my best flight ever(paragliding)

submitted by soaringfun on 04/27/17 1

incredible flight in interlaken, switzerland - tram up to Birg, just below the schilthorn, hiked down to cloudbase, launched, thermalled on this knife-edge ridge for like 10 minutes, flew out over at like '1000 above the murren launch, then crossed the valley to the other cliffs and flew there, right below the eiger jungfrau etc, unbelievable. not the longest flight, only like 30 minutes, but so super epic best flight i've ever had. also liz(my wife) was with me in the air on a tandem with Beni from chillout paragliding based in interlaken, i highly recommend them! liz was doing some sweet wingovers and a small SAT it was a great flight for her. SHOT LIST: 1:55 - launch 4:30 - see the thermal 4:50 - begin thermalling right over this knife-edge ridge (stay in lift for like 10 minutes) 12:00 - LIZ & Beni(instructor) do set of sweet wingovers 14:20 - around this point start hitting bumpy air 19:11 - way up over Murren and cliff, about 1000' over the town and almost 3000' over the landing spot. 19:45 - commit to crossing the valley 22:40 - reach the other side of the valley 29:32 - base jumper in a wingsuit opens his canopy near me, just below my elevation(orange chute, right in the middle of the screen) 31:25 - landing 32:35 - kiss LIZ
