How do people actually learn sports like paragliding or kitesurfing or skydiving?

Question

I mean, if you take biking or skiing, you can start try, fail and try again, but in those extreme sports I mentioned in the title, you don’t really seem to get second chances lol

Any idea? Any personal experience?

Answer 1

The paragliding example can be a real ELI5. You start flat. Then a little slope, then a bigger slope, then a little hill. And so on.
