Is it ok to use the word "Fall" in Paragliding? | The weather is perfect right now | 2 hours of flying | Video included

Another paragliding adventure! This was an amazing day once again. The report was bad, the conditions didn't look good, but I had a need to fly!

Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow evening, God willing!

I'm going to look for you on Steemit Chat to see if we might exchange phone#s?

@creatr

Got it! I know you are a busy man this week. So if you don't make it no worries. Thanks for the "Creatr appreciates you" gif. See you soon.

Hey, loved the layout of this post. It's easy to scroll through and get an awesome feel of your flight.

What's a variometer?

Thanks for stopping by my friend!

What's a variometer?

A variometer beeps giving you an indication of whether you are going up or down. It uses a micro barometer. I should be getting an instrument panel today. A pilot friend of mine is going to sell me his "extra"

Oh cool. A little extra awareness. Looks cool. Don't drop it. haha

Thanks for sharing, keep on gliding and steeming!

Thanks for stopping by!

That was a lot of air time!

Thursday I am going North to Hemet to get my P3. I am pretty stoked. I will be able to fly at the famous Torrey Pines Glider Port.
