They share insights on competitions, advice for newcomers, and the importance of visibility and support for female pilots' success.

Ralf Böhm hat einen heftigen Absturz beim Sicherheitstraining überlebt. Noch schwer verletzt schmiedet er einen Plan +++ Jeder Flug ist ein Flug. Diesen Satz hörte ich kürzlich im englischsprachigen Gleitschirmpodcast Cloudbasemayhem von Gavin McClurg. Es ging um das Bewusstsein: Wenn man sich mit dem Gleitschirm in die Lüfte erhebt, dann schwingt immer auch das Risiko mit abzustürzen. Wir blenden das gerne aus. Wenn es doch mal passiert, wachen wir umso härter in der Realität auf. Dann stellt sich die Frage: Wie gehen wir damit um, wenn wir dem Tod vielleicht gerade noch von der Schippe gesprungen sind? Einer der davon erzählen kann, ist Ralf Böhm. Der 54-jährige hat im vergangenen September ein Sicherheitstraining am Achensee absolviert. Am letzten Trainingstag verlor er beim letzten Manöver die Kontrolle über seinen Schirm und schlug dann im voll entwickelten Spiralsturz ungebremst auf dem Wasser auf. Mit lebensbedrohlichen inneren Verletzungen kam er ins Krankenhaus. Wenige Tage später war seine Lage so stabil, dass die Ärzte ihm eine gute Heilungsprognose geben konnten. Ralf fasste sofort den Plan, nach voller Genesung wieder Fliegen zu wollen. Den Weg dorthin definierte er für sich selbst als Projekt mit mehreren Phasen. Eine davon sollte die konsequente Aufarbeitung des Unfalls sein. In dieser Episode 128 von Podz-Glidz erzählt Ralf Böhm über seinen nicht ganz gewöhnlichen Umgang mit den Unfallerlebnissen und über die Folgen: Wie er mittlerweile sowohl seine Herangehensweise an die Fliegerei, als auch sein übriges Leben neu fokussiert. +++ Wenn Du Podz-Glidz und den Blog Lu-Glidz fördern möchtest, so findest Du alle zugehörigen Infos unter: https://lu-glidz.blogspot.com/p/fordern.html +++ Musik dieser Folge: Track: Nature Nurture | Künstler: Quincas Moreira Youtube Audio Library +++ Lu-Glidz Links: + Blog: https://lu-glidz.blogspot.com + Podcast: https://lu-glidz.blogspot.com/search/label/Podcast + Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luglidz + Insta: https://www.instagram.com/luglidz/ + Whatsapp-Kanal: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaBVs05CHDynzdlJlU34 + Youtube: https://youtube.com/@Lu-Glidz + Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/lu-glidz + Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6ZNvk83xxGHHtfgFjiAHyJ + Apple-Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/podz-glidz-der-lu-glidz-podcast/id1447518310?mt=2 + Linktree: https://linktr.ee/luglidz

Tarquin Cooper has been the voice of the Red Bull X-Alps the last few editions and this year was joined by your host and four-time X-Alps competitor Gavin McClurg to add some commentating and live footage from the air. In this episode the two of us sit down to share our own unique perspective of the race as we chased the athletes and teams around the Alps and had our own adventures (and misadventures!) in our mostly frantic attempts to keep up. I go into the full details of the unfortunate "tree incident", we hear about Tarquin's wild sail in the Fastnet race immediately after the Red Bull X-Alps ended, the athletes who most impressed us this year, Chrigel's continued dominance, what it was like for me to be covering the event instead of racing and a lot more. If you're in a bit of Red Bull X-Alps withdrawal this episode should help bide some time until 2025! The post #207- Behind the Scenes of the Red Bull X-Alps with Tarquin Cooper first appeared on CLOUDBASE MAYHEM.

My guest today is Mary Seals.Mary is a fellow spouse in the US Foreign Service and we connected because her husband found my podcast through the episode with Gavin McClurg (episode 35).  After listening, he reached out and said, “hey I'm a paraglider, and in the foreign service, and studying to become a coach!”  And that connection led to meeting Mary and ultimately, this episode!Mary joins me today to share the story of her transformation:  from adamantly NOT a dog person to owning and loving a very special dog named Pax.   Pax is a Giant Schnauzer and along with being a transformative influence in her own family, also extends her special canine presence to others through her work as a therapy dog.   As a dog lover and animal lover, in general, I'm so delighted to share this story with you.  You may want to keep a tissue on hand, for Pax touches the heart not just in person, but also through the sharing of her story.   Mary, thank you so much for coming on the podcast and sharing about your journey with Pax.  Thank you for all the work you have done and continue to do to create opportunities for so many people to be touched by interacting with Pax.  And thank you for your own willingness to be transformed, to become a dog trainer, to see the needs in your family and be willing to do something bold and audacious (get a dog!!) in order to create a space for healing and connection.   You and Pax are making the world a better and more joyful place!Follow Pax and Mary on InstaGram: @PaxtheGiantMake Life Less Difficult

Living on the edge and creating your own rules with Adventurer of The Year Gavin McClurg Gavin Noll McClurg is an American paragliding pilot, adventurer, and offshore sailor. As a paraglider, he pioneered a route over the Alaska Range along with Dave Turner, and completed several expeditions over remote areas across North America. As a sailor, he circumnavigated the Earth twice. Gavin McClurg is no stranger to adventure and exploration. He is a 2015 National Geographic “Adventurer of the Year” for his unpowered paragliding expedition across the Canadian Rockies (documented in the Red Bull Media House feature film “The Rockies Traverse”). He became the first person to traverse the full length of the Alaska Range by foot and paraglider (unsupported) in 2016 (documented in the Red Bull Media House feature film “North of Known”). He is the owner, founder and Captain of “Offshore Odysseys”, a global kitesurfing/surfing/sailing expedition. He has twice circumnavigated the world by sail, living at sea for 13 straight years, including short-handed roundings of both notorious capes (Horn and Good Hope). Gavin holds the former North American record for foot-launched cross-country paragliding, a flight of 240 miles deep into Montana from his hometown of Sun Valley, Idaho. Gavin is the first American (and only 3rd non-European) to complete the “toughest adventure race on Earth”, the Red Bull X-Alps a paragliding/foot race across the Alps from Salzburg to Monaco. In ten days Gavin flew 1560 kilometers, walked 498 (12+ marathons), and scaled 52,000 meters of vertical ascent on foot (Everest 5 times). Gavin competed again in 2017, 2019, and 2021.

Some more of Gavin's career highlights include: 2015 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year; 8th place Red Bull X-Alps and the first American to reach goal in Monaco in the race's history; Former World Mountain Distance record holder in paragliding (387 kilometers, 240 miles); 2 X circumnavigations by sail, including short-handed rounding of both Capes (Horn and Good hope). 160,000 total miles; Created, founded, captained and current CEO of Offshore Odysseys, an ocean-based expedition company based around kitesurfing, surfing and paragliding; Former US Alpine Ski Team member; Several first descents (kayaking) in Central America (class VI); Published author, countless magazine features   Gavin had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “He was an explorer in terms of his entrepreneurial spirit. He was always trying stuff that was 10 years too far in the future” (21:30). “Most people go to security when they have that kind of background, and for me it was the opposite” (22:25). “For whatever reason, I've always been drawn to speed and risk” (23:40). “When you're letting your subconscious do the work and you're so embedded in the moment, then all of this frivolous stuff that drives life, that's distracting and stressful and sometimes painful, goes away” (24:50). “It's a battle against your own mind” (27:35). “The risks are enormous, and I think eventually for everybody the luck's going to run out” (30:25). “Until that day, I hadn't understood death” (33:00). “Death is a fascinating animal” (36:15). “I feel celebratory, in a sense, towards the concept of death. To me, it's a driver. It's kind of like fear. Fear is a really good thing; it keeps you alive” (36:30). “The inevitability of death is a really good thing because it reminds me every day of how important and how precious every day is” (36:50). “We've all got to figure out how to replace that rush with something else” (40:30). “That's what I want to do. I want to have the most fun” (41:55). “The more we separate ourselves from attainment, and the more we can be present, then we're winning” (42:20). “Just being who you are is good enough” (42:35). “Sometimes, you have to be dumb enough to launch. Otherwise, life is pretty gray” (44:00). “If you're not falling, you're not pushing hard enough” (44:25). “That's my New Year's resolution every year: to be more present, to be here, and to be grateful and thankful for that” (46:00). “That's what my daughter has taught me: to be more curious” (49:15). “Wow we are lucky. Wow we are fortunate” (52:45).   Make sure to follow Gavin on Instagram and Facebook. Additionally, you can purchase Gavin's book, "Advanced Paragliding,” wherever books are sold.

My guest today is Gavin McClurg.It's difficult to know how to introduce Gavin.  He's had more adventures, close-calls, and epic expeditions than anyone I know.  He's also one of the most driven and passionate humans out there.  I met Gavin through the paragliding community by listening to his podcast, Cloudbase Mayhem.  After learning to paraglide, I got the crazy idea to reach out to Gavin and pitch the idea of me being a guest on his podcast – a total newbie, but with some insights that could be helpful to other new pilots and especially for woman in this sport, as we are a minority.  I was thrilled when Gavin answered my email with a Sure, let's give it a try!  He did caveat the invitation with, “I'd like to reserve the right to decide whether I publish it or not until after we talk!”  (And I made the cut! Listen to Episode 60 here!)Gavin started his athletic career as a ski racer and was headed for the Olympics in the early 90s when an accident resulted in his knee being unable to keep going under that amount of pressure.  He started and ran a sailing and kite surfing expedition company for over 10 years, circumnavigating the world twice and exploring some of the most remote beaches and waters in the world.In 2006 he learned to paraglide, and I think it's safe to say paragliding has consumed his life ever since!  He's a professional pilot and has competed in the X-Alps (one of, if not, THE, most challenging adventure race across the Alps) 4 times now. (and counting…?  Maybe!)I love exploring the idea of making life less difficult with people who chose hard things, who push themselves to the brink over and over.  Does it even apply?  Is the concept relevant here?  In our conversation, Gavin generously shares his stories and reflections around the difficulties in life, especially when they are chosen.  We explore the value of simplicity and how even in challenging situations, simplicity is often what makes life less difficult, and we touch on themes of pursuing what's most important, letting go of the drive to get and accumulate more and more, and also the unique challenges of the changes that come with the privilege of aging.Thank you, Gavin, for your inspiration, not just to me, but to countless others around the world!Please check out the  links to Gavin's website, Ted Talks, Expedition Movies, and more:Cloudbase Mayhem PodcastGavin's Tedx TalkNorth of Known500 Miles to NowhereThe Rocky Mountains Traverse2021 Red Bull X-AlpsInstagramBook: Advanced Paraglidingwww.makelifelessdifficult.com

"Gavin McClurg (born April 21, 1972) is an American paragliding pilot, adventurer and offshore sailor. As a paraglider, he pioneered a route over the Alaska Range along with Dave Turner, and completed several expeditions over remote areas across North America. As a sailor, he circumnavigated the Earth twice. McClurg set the free-distance USA foot launch paragliding record at 387 km in 2013, taking off from Sun Valley, Idaho.[5] He was awarded the National Geographic Adventurer of the Year nomination in 2015 for an 18-day crossing of the Canadian Rockies from McBride, British Columbia to the US border with Will Gadd, documented in the film The Rockies Traverse.[6][7] McClurg completed the Red Bull X-Alps race in July, 2015 finishing in 8th place.[8] On May 5, 2016 McClurg set out with Dave Turner to traverse the full length of the Alaska Range by foot and paraglider, unsupported. The 480 mile route had never been attempted by paraglider. McClurg completed the route solo on June 17, 2016 after 37 days." - Gavin's wiki page

When it comes to finding wind and waves in remote places, Gavin is without a doubt one of the most knowledgeable and experienced skippers in the world. He grew up on boats in the Pacific Northwest and commercially fished in the Bering Sea before getting into sailing in the mid 90’s. He has 13 straight years at sea under sail across all three oceans of the world. He’s rounded both Capes (Horn and Good Hope); racked up over 160,000 blue water miles; sailed solo across the Atlantic and through the Java Sea and Malacca Straits; and is passionate about protecting wild places for future generations.  Gavin McClurg is a Patagonia ambassador and the owner of Offshore Odysseys. In 2015, he took eighth place at the Red Bull X-Alps (the first American in the race’s history to reach the goal) and won National Geographic’s Adventurer of the Year award for his paragliding traverse of the Canadian Rockies with Will Gadd. When he’s not sailing or flying Gavin calls Ketchum, Idaho home.      

In this episode #009, I have a chat with my new friend Gavin McClurg via Zoom. Gavin is based in Idaho, USA. I have recently been working with Gavin for his sleep/recovery and performance optimisation strategy in his lead up to the Red Bull X-Alps a paragliding / foot race across the Alps from Salzburg to Monaco. In ten days Gavin flew 1560 kilometres, walked 498 (12+ marathons) and scaled 52,000 meters of vertical ascent on foot (Everest 5 times). Gavin makes my finish at Leadville 100 and other ultra-marathons look amateur with this impressive resume. Gavin is no stranger to adventure and exploration. He is a 2015 National Geographic “Adventurer of the Year” for his unpowered paragliding expedition across the Canadian Rockies. He became the first person to traverse the full length of the Alaska Range by foot and paraglider (unsupported) in 2016. He is the owner, founder and Captain of “Offshore Odysseys”, a global kitesurfing/surfing/sailing expedition. He has twice circumnavigated the world by sail, living at sea for 13 straight years, including short-handed roundings of both notorious capes (Horn and Good Hope). Gavin holds the current North American-record for foot launched cross-country paragliding, a flight of 240 miles deep into Montana from his home town of Sun Valley, Idaho.   Check out more on Gavin at Facebook: facebook.com/gavinnmcclurg Instagram: @gavinmcclurg Twitter: @cloudbasemayhem Website: www.cloudbasemayhem.com Films: http://www.cloudbasemayhem.com/visual-delights/   Further information on Sleep4Performance Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Podbean    Check out the website and sign up for blogs, podcast news and free downloads www.sleep4performance.com.au Click here for Facebook were I post regularly throughout the week.

The Red Bull live tracking is great, but it misses out on all the behind-the-scenes and in this talk we dive into what the fans don't get to see. We talk training, supplements, our decision on using the nightpass the first night, mistakes made, good moves, dicey launches, crazy weather and how the 2017 race was the most brutal yet. In 12 days I did 16 1/2 marathons, climbed the height of Everest 4 times (34,000 meters of vertical ascent), flew over 1,000 km- and I was still 308 km from goal! Only two athletes made it, Chrigel Maurer won for his 5th straight time, and rookie Benoit Outers made it in just before the time expired. 5 athletes were eliminated and 7 withdrew due to injury or exhaustion.

We've been asking for your stories, and on the last episode of Season 2, we highlight three of our listeners' leaps. Gavin McClurg embarked on a death-defying adventure on the Pacific that changed the direction of his life. Amy Gotliffe decided to adopt a baby as a single mother, an experience that brought her both joy and heartbreak. And, at 58 years of age, Bette Giordano left her husband, her ailing father and her way of life for a journey of self discovery in the West.

Ed Ewing, the editor of Cross Country magazine takes over as show-host and asks Gavin the questions many people have wanted to know about how it all went down on the traverse. We talk about the Red Bull X-Alps, how Gavin's obsession with paragliding started and find out what led to his 6-year pursuit of a dream- to traverse the full length of the Alaska Range by paraglider and foot. We find out what went right, what went wrong, what gear was used, what happened after Dave had to leave, and hear some pretty wild stories of what went down.

I first heard about Gavin when I watched The Rocky Mountains Traverse.  The possibilities of paragliding immediately captured me, specifically the vol-biv work he and Will Gadd were doing. If you're into adventuring, whether it's kayaking, sailing, kite surfing, or paragliding, you'll probably dig Gavin's take on the world.   Whether he talks about his early "frequent bad decisions" or how he's not quite an adrenalin junkie, this is a great window into the mind of one of National Geographic's 2014 "Adventurer of the Year" recipients. Enjoy!

Gavin McClurg is a professional adventurer. As well as circumnavigating the world by boat, he used to be in the US ski team, is an accomplished white-water kayaker and he currently holds the North American foot launch distance record (387 km), set from his home town of Sun Valley to near Helena, Montana. In summer 2014, Gavin and Will Gadd, himself a flying, climbing and ice climbing legend, set out to complete a 700 km traverse of the Canadian Rockies and fly to the US border and into the record books - they did the distance flying, without any hiking. The aim was to make forward progress only when they were in the air. The project was filmed and sponsored by Reel Water Productions and Red Bull and is released as The Rockies Traverse. The Canadian Rockies are remote and there are few landing opportunities, which made the flying both exciting and dangerous. Added to that, Will and Gavin had never met before commencing the adventure. As a result of this amazing trip, Gavin and Will were nominated for the prestigious National Geographic Adventurer of the Year Award. In this podcast, Gavin gives me the background to the journey and lets me have an insight into the planning and execution of this remarkable adventure.

Gavin McClurg is an adventurer of many disciplines. After briefly racing for the US Ski Team in the early 90s, he moved on to kayaking. A near death experience on a waterfall in Mexico caused him to trade the rivers for the sea, where he lived for 13 years and sailed around the world twice. Most recently paragliding is the activity of choice. He holds the North American record for longest foot launch, where he flew 240 miles in one go.

There comes a stage in a great athlete's career when the pursuit of the technical difficulty take a backseat. It gives way to simplicity, an aesthetic, and possibly to an iconic style that leaves an impression on a sport. Will Gadd is one of the most accomplished mountain athletes ever. Most people know him as a climbing legend, but he also holds that stature in the fringe sport of paragliding where he's won competitions and held the single flight distance record for a decade. Last year, Will and renowned pilot Gavin McClurg embarked on a truly incredible trip down the spine of the Canadian Rockies. The goal was to create a continuous line through the air. At night, they landed in the alpine, slept and repeated the process for 35 days. The trip changed Will's perspective, not just on the craft, but on how he pursues adventure.
