Follow Canadian paraglider pilot Will Gadd as he leads the first paragliding expedition to attempt to cross the United States from coast to coast, California to North Carolina.

An epic six-week thrill ride at altitudes as high as 17,000 ft., never fully knowing where they would land and what they would find on the ground, and always captive to the winds and the thermals.

Will Gadd formerly held the paragliding world distance record, with a flight of 423 km in Zapata, Texas.

He is the host of the documentary series Fearless Planet, working with regional scientists and traveling with them, or by himself, to various locations that are in the individual episode’s focus.
