Les premiers vols de mon meilleur pote en parapente 😳

This week, I accompanied my best friend Pierre on his very first paragliding initiation course at Parapentes Planètes in Les Carroz, the school where I myself learned to fly 🪂 And honestly… the weather was really against us 😅 Between: ☔ rain, 💨 wind, ⛰️ challenging ground handling sessions, and only one truly flyable day… We didn't even know if the students would be able to make their first long flights. But despite the conditions, the entire school team gave it their all to save the course: Michel Gilles David Benji On the agenda: 🪂 ground handling in the rain 🪂 first takeoffs 🪂 first flights in Samoëns 🪂 first thermals 🪂 emotions, stress, and progress And above all… the incredible pleasure of finally sharing the sky with my best friend ❤️ Thank you to the whole Parapentes Planètes team for the atmosphere and the instruction 🙏 📍 School: Parapente Planète — Les Carroz 🌐 https://parapente-planete.com/ 👍 Like 💬 Comment 🔔 Subscribe to follow the next paragliding adventures #paragliding #samoens #lescarroz #parapenteplanete #paraglidinglife #alps -- Timeline -- 00:00 Intro 00:56 Opening Credits 01:12 Meeting at the school 01:36 First slope training session 02:16 Second slope training session 04:06 Slope training debriefing and pre-flight briefing 04:42 First long flight 08:45 First landing 09:00 Second flight 11:30 I pull off a crazy landing 11:53 Second landing 12:03 Debrief in the packing area 12:34 Third flight 13:15 Pierre pulls off a crazy exit from takeoff 13:48 Continuation of the flight 14:06 Exiting a 360 14:27 Landing 14:39 Outro 15:02 Thanks to Parapente Planète 15:18 Outro (continued) 🪂 Find videos of my flights Thermals here →    • Je cherche du thermique au Suet (Vol 184)   🪂 🥳 If you want to see my "First Times," it's this way →    • Débutant en thermique… et ça devient sport...   🥳 🕗 Prefer shorter videos?
