Recorded 8 May 2020 - Jimmy is father of 2, husband and ex world champ in paragliding. Beautiful insights from flying the dolomites to tandems with disabled passengers (that are cost free!).
A very funny story.. His worst glider!
His home.. The magnificent dolomites and how the do 300m climbs on tandems! Nova, edel, Gin... Andre bucher!
80s Gliders that can launch without running.. Wow!
Flying Strategy.. Competition tips.
Spearfishing competitions.. How they made me good at flying!
SIV and throwing the reserve.. Tandem too.
Top tips on throwing your reserve.
"throw it down" "stall your paraglider" "get a bigger rescue (reserve) than you think you need".
Seen 400 rescues thrown... Special reserve throwing courses. Big insights into this and different rescue types and sizes. Interesting comparisons.
Col rodella and how crazy it is.. 300-400 pilots and daily collisions. Sheep mentality. Groups and "everyone must fly!" Terrible!
Landing on the marmolata glacier.. Relaunch.. I don't promote this..
The chicken tour and the BIG chicken tour!
The beautiful Dolomites.. A must in Sept Oct Nov.. Cheap and great!
