Nick flew paragliders for 15 years at the pinnacle of our sport creating memories in places where most of us only dream of. He explored remote mountains, wrote a book about his adventures, and lived the hike and fly dream. Then a rescue helicopter changed everything.In this raw and honest conversation, Nick shares his thoughts on risk management and we take a deep dive into the psychology of "it won't happen to me," This episode is a brutally honest look at what happens when the systems we trust (rescue helicopters, insurance, bureaucracy) fail.

At times You'll noticed blank screen for video which is due to the camera overheating at the time of recording, although the audio is fairly consistent throughout the conversation and without any glitches. 🌍Soaring High Resources: Elevate Your Aerial Pursuits🚀 🔗 Meet the Maestro: Brett Janaway (https://xtc-paragliding.com/) SRS Live (https://srs.live/) Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/sportsclassracingseries/) Want to go beyond the episode?
