Episode 12- Aaron Durogati and Training to Win

Aaron Durogati is only 29 years old, but he's already been a world champion, gotten 6th and 7th place in the last two Red Bull X-Alps and has a LONG list of podium finishes. A Red Bull athlete and ambassador for several other brands, the "Italian Stallion" is making a good living in the sport of paragliding and in this episode we dig into how he does it. From learning how to fly at the tender age of 15 we find out how he's approached progression, how he won the 2014 Superfinal in Colombia, how he's been training for the X-Alps (and what he'll change for the next one), what it's really like to fly in the "toughest adventure race on Earth", and ton more. Enjoy!
