O tvorbě
Paragliding XC Stories je kanál Dmitryho Balabanova, dříve známý pod přezdívkou Dymanoid. Vedle příběhů z letů obsahuje průvodce přeletovými trasami v Alpách a Kolumbii a podrobné rozbory vlastních incidentů. Vychází z osobních zkušeností pilota; autor nabízí také možnost dobrovolně podpořit jeho tvorbu.
This is a detailed and structured report on my most severe incident and my first ever reserve deployment. This video focuses not only on what happened and how, but also on why it happened in the first place - and most importantly, what I learned from it. If you are a paragliding pilot yourself, maybe some of those lessons will be useful for your own flying too - this is why I share this incident analysis.

Pulling big ears on modern 2-liner wings is not that comfortable and also not really efficient. I prefer to fly some gentle rolling maneuvers to lose a bit of height. Have you tried it?
Some landings are more spicy than the others. I needed to fly a tight turn to give some space to another wing to the right, but got into unexpectedly sinking air, so nearly touched a tree.
How does a typical paragliding year look like? 2025 was full of adventures for me. I flew far, I f*cked up, I was happy, I was mad. How did it go for you? Share your stories! Wanna see mine? Welcome to my 2025 recap!

Think experience protects me from repeating mistakes? Think again. In this story, I show how pushing too hard, too fast turned into a facepalm and a reality check.
