  • Boombastic!

    I used to listen to these episodes religiously for a little while but fell off the wagon yers ago. Back again and wow, what fantastic episodes have i missed. Thank you so much for staying at it, allowing us to learn and stay connected to the sport outside our flying days and our immediate circle of pilot friends.

  • Remarkable variety, incredible depth

    As a new student of Paragliding, I find these podcasts to provide an amazing variety of topics covered and Gavin & his guests delve in with sophistication & detail. I’ve learned much beyond what I could have previously ever imagined. And excellent production, editing & audio quality. Worth ‘the buck a show’ I’m donating.

    Thx, Gavin for this labor of love. Will Johnson, Port Angeles, WA

#271 Why the Sports Racing Class (SRS) is taking the Paragliding world by storm with Brett Janaway
Q: Why is the SRS considered more relaxed on the ground yet still serious about competition and safety?
The vibe is supportive and community-driven, focusing on learning and enjoyment, while the seriousness comes from the safety rules, scoring integrity, and the high level of pilot skill needed to win.

Q: How do pilots get into the SRS, and what training or preparation is recommended before attempting their first SRS event?

#269 Navigating Doubts with Violeta Jimenez
Q: What motivates you to keep competing despite serious injuries and the risk involved?
Her answer centers on a deep passion for progression, the flow and engagement she finds in competition, and the community that keeps her coming back even after setbacks.
#269 Navigating Doubts with Violeta Jimenez
Q: Why did you shift from a three-liner to a two-liner, and what challenges did you face?

#267 Bivvy and Adventure Flying by HANG GLIDER with Emi Carvalho
Q: If you could rewind the clock back to you've heard this question many times on the show, would you change anything?
