Paragliding Talk | Episode #14 | Ryan Bloum | XC Pilot | Tonight 6PM Pacific Time
Ryan is a Cross Country Pilot, and is grandson of a famous actor/artist. Find out!
He has also flown in some competitions around the world. We will have a great time interviewing him and finding out what it takes to fly big XC.
Last week Ryan and Phil Russman (Comp Pilot) flew over 80 miles from San Diego, Ca to Hemet, CA. We will be talking about that on this episode.
He also has some interesting ties to San Diego (Fame). Ryan is grandson of famous actor. Watch the show to find out who he is related to.
I met Ryan flying at my favorite site Blossom Valley.
Ryan and Matt P were flying very difficult air, and were having a blast while I was hiking up the hill.
One of the great things about the show is you can ask any questions you want in the chat because its a live show. We use google hangouts so we can have multiple pilots on the air at the same time. We always have a blast.
We currently have about 7 people who support the show on Patreon.

Thank you my friend! We are going to get you up in the air one day.
Very interesting video.
i wait for next episode.
Can we add some hydrogen to a larger wing and do this? Or helium? I’ve never done. Started flying when I was sixteen though and have thought about it a lot for my entire life. Do think that there are some lighter than air “entertainments” coming. Not sure about slightly heavier than air paragliding, but I’m thinking about it for a minute.
These wings are pressurized by wind blowing into the face. The airfoil creates lift when there is air traveling faster on the underside, and slower over the top. The glider falls at a rate of 200 ft per minute. As long as you can fly in air that is rising at greater than 200 ft per minute you can stay in the air. We call those thermals. Its pretty fun.
Awesome i wish i was brave enough to go paragliding... looks like lots of fun
