What does it really mean to grow up inside paragliding and never
lose the feeling of play?





In this episode of the Find Your Path Podcast, I sit down with
Tim Alongi, FAI World Air Games Acro Champion, multiple-time
French Champion and Red Bull X-Alps athlete.


Tim is one of the rare pilots who has successfully moved across
very different worlds of flying, always on the highest level of
our sport: from acro competition to hike & fly racing and
alpine flying.





From the very beginning of this conversation, one thing becomes
clear:


For Tim, flying is not something he learned but something he
lives.





We talk about:


• what it feels like to grow up flying from a very young age


• why playfulness is still at the core of his flying today


• the importance of continuity and time in the air when life gets
busy


• how technique, equipment and confidence actually work together


• why many pilots struggle to progress despite flying regularly


• and how different disciplines like freestyle, climbing and
other sports shape his approach to flying





This conversation is about feeling, instinct and the relationship
with the wing.


A look into the mindset of a pilot who moves naturally between
different styles of flying and still approaches the sky with
curiosity.





If you want to understand what it means to stay connected to the
joy of flying while developing your skills, this episode will
give you a different perspective.





Cheers,


Paul
