Paragliding 滑翔伞飞行运动

Two weeks ago, on the weekend, Alex and I went to FlyBC Paragliding school located in Harrison Mills near Mission to continue our class started last summer. Last Sunday, June 11, 2017, I had some practice of taking off and landing at Burnaby Mountain Park.  Here are some the pictures and videos that I took for the other students.  There are five short videos that I recorded for myself at Burnaby Mountain Park.

On the second run, I got a quite good lift when I was closing the road.  I had to manage to turn right in order to land the grass field, not the road.  The landing was controlled and smooth even I got a bit of downwind (tail wind).  I was trying to take off by reverse launch but they all failed because the wind was not strong enough for reverse launch.
