Living Life to the Fullest

I'm Mark from Sacramento, CA. I'm just here to spread the love and share the dream.

Awesome flight yesterday - dragging my feet through the grass, getting higher, swooping the ground grabbing the grass with my hand as I zoom by. I'm more than 4 years into this and I'm still crazy passionate about it. #parapente #paragliding #soaring #aviation #adventure #bucketlist #havenolimits #wildseekers #ElitePG #liveoutdoors #makemoments (at Bay Area Ridge Trail - Vallejo/Benica buffer)

Sometimes I wonder if I'll wake up and realize that all of this has been an amazing dream.

A view from the cockpit (if you’d even call it that) of a paraglider along the California Coast. You can go tandem paragliding with me! http://eliteparagliding.com/

This view never gets old. Bumpy air was scary at moments and allowed me to get higher than I've ever been here. I was afraid to let go of the controls to capture the moment. (at Columbus Parkway)

In between storms, I took of my gloves (fingers were already freezing), and captured this.

I filmed one second every day (kind of) in 2015. There have been groundbreaking and eye opening highs as well as a few lows. It's been such an adventure and it's not over yet!

This feels like a scene out of Top Gun. (at Marshall's Beach)

The word "cold" now has a new meaning.

Despite the intense storm, I managed to teach these two handsome, fun, and brand new pilots how to fly. Photo taken minutes after a first flight. (at Velocity Paragliders)

Finding the Perfect Paraglider for New Pilots

I’m often asked what’s the best paraglider for soon to be or new paraglider pilots. My point is that it doesn’t matter and I wrote an entire article about it. http://pFlying.com/2015/12/selecting-your-first-paraglider-why-it.html

"Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find that it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible." - T.E. Lawrence Photo @matthewkeys

I've never had a student this before. I ended up laughing for 5 minutes straight. No students or paramotors were injured in the making of this film. #crash
