Nick Neynens began paragliding a decade ago after his love of the mountains drew
him to the sport. In 2015 he capped off a passionate and steep trajectory of
flying a lot of vol-biv around the world with a 10th place finish in the Red
Bull X-Alps. He famously did a lot of the race in sandals and shunned any kind
of formal physical training before the race. By flying incredibly creative
lines, staying positive, and having a ton of fun Nick charged from the back of
the pack after a tough first day to making goal in Monaco. In this episode we
explore the world of vol-biv, talk about Nick’s experience in the X-Berg and X-Pyr
races and of course his X-Alps experience. Nick recently became a full-time
meteorologist and we talk about how his weather knowledge has helped his own
flying, including recently breaking the open distance record in New Zealand.
