We don't have a motor and we're just using thermals.

Thermals are kind of like the gas for a car.
气流对我们来说就像汽车的汽油一样。
We get as high as we possibly can and then we glide and if we find another thermal, we can keep going."

and, you know, paragliding can be really intense and sometimes really scary and very dangerous,

and this was like the opposite of that.

这次就只有好玩，有趣，我们还玩儿起了大翻转和特技pk，
and when I'm flying over these really remote places,

we really chase records and we chase huge distances and made us realize that, you know,

重要的不是纪录，不是你飞了多远，
it's just about enjoying the freedom of flight."
重要的只是享受飞翔的自由。”
