| Paragliding as a sport |
| We have to understand the sport of paragliding, no as a risk sport, but we need to understand the paragliding as a activity where each pilot who flies without knoledge of what is doing will be under a risk situation, thatī why is so important learn in a school with spezialized instructors. we will eliminate totally risksonce we understand the limits from: the paraglider as an aircraft, meteorological conditions, andour own fhysical, and psiquic conditions. The paragliding courses that we propose you, are not exactly "a few country days resting and walking in pyrenees".The physical exercise, mentally prepare the student as a pilot, and the journeys trainning at the beginner pilot slope, make that into the student posibilities, and limits,courses will be considered as a physically exercise full of adrenaline, and instructors will combine the exercises to bring out the best of you. |
