“Mankind was always dreaming about one thing: Conquering montains and soar above them.” - Daniel Kofler.
Hike and Fly has been around for a couple of decades now: Starting in the 1980's, paragliders started to conquer the mountains and find their very own take off´s. But in order to carry up the heavy equipment (paragldier, harness, ..., ) they had to attend in an expedition-like manner. The technical development in recent years though allowed the ascent to be much more fun, since the weight of necessary flightgear has been reduced a lot.
Daniel Kofler, paragliding-pilot since 1999, explains the magic of Hike and Fly and what motivated him to begin with paragliding in the first place.

@adastra96, @swin, @paleotreats, @eggmeister, @hangflyer, @alandean, @o1o1o1o, and @cheyanich are all pilots. Check them out if you get a chance. Don't get discouraged if you don't get paid on posts. Just keep hitting it. Sometimes it gets discouraging when you put a lot of effort into a post and you don't see anything. There are going to be times when you post something that is not your best and it will get a lot of attention. Focus on commenting as much as you can. That is how I have been able to get a little pull.
Thank you @captainobviou3 for you words and tips!
