Paragliding

This is a four minute video in which John Stumbletwaite discusses his early flying days in Yorkshire, the high rate of mortality of twenty-eight-year-old males in Grimthorpe, and his impression of modern paragliding.

If you'd like to fly at twenty-thousand feet above the ground, travel across the country, or soar above cliffs and mountains using equipment that fits in a backpack, then perhaps you should learn to paraglide.

There are many schools in the UK, but few are like Flybubble Paragliding. Unlike the big "pie machine" schools, Carlo and Nancy are passionate and committed to teaching paragliding with expertise, enthusiasm, and individual attention. Visit their website at flybubble.co.uk
