Video of IcePeak 3 High Performance Paraglider

Make sure you watch to the end when the paraglider balls up in an unrecoverable frontal tuck. These high performance gliders are only for the bravest and best pilots. For me a tested and relatively safe glider is the only way to go in my early stages of learning. This is a very experienced pilot and his parachute deployment at the end is perfect and should be watched by all paragliding pilots!

South Mountain Winter Paragliding

About this video: "It just doesn't get any better than this, Phoenix paraglider pilots and 3 from out of town spent the day flying what South Mountain gave us. Gaggles of 8 and more in light thermals to 4300
' and flights of about an hour were had by many. What an amazing day of desert paragliding in the winter."
