E50 FINAL EPISODE-S1-This is the very first podcast I did..UNCUT&UNEDITED.. Top tips for beginners.
Saison 1 · Épisode 50
vendredi 12 juin 2020 • Durée 17:48
Recorded 11 April 2020. So the very first podcast that I recorded closes this series. Uncut and unedited. Even the staying alive intro song is played "manually" with a separate Bluetooth speaker. Rougher than rough, like in the olden days.... This whole podcast thing started as a request from a beginner called Nicolas on our local paragliding club whatsapp group, for some tips.
Along with my friend's Uli Prinz, Gerhard Beukes, Deon, Kieran and a few others, I was encouraged to do the podcasts that I've recorded to date.
In this podcast I underline most of the top important safety tips I consider imperative for starting alive in our beautiful sport.
Enjoy it brothers and sisters in paragliding and remember to share it far and wide. It's all free and for the betterment of and security in our pastime.
A new series will follow, but not right now... 50+ podcasts in 40 days.. Ill take a short break as I'm on a motorcycle trip, but do promise you more. Thanks for your support all of you! Feedback is always welcome.. Whatsapp me on 0027720458706
