I am a skydiver, although it's been years since I jumped. I was terrified of canopy work (due to a malfunction on my third jump...) until I got some serious training by some of the best canopy pilots in the biz...and then canopy flight became my favorite part.
I was never very good...but I loved it.
I've wanted to give paragliding a try, and this vid has just sparked me to do it sooner rather than later. Maybe this summer I'll give it a shot...
Thanks so much for posting - those aerobatics were outstanding, and an incredible visual display of total, complete freedom.
Best-
