Regarding the Control/Checking phase: it's a matter of control over the wing. There are many pilots which are not able to do this check view without endangering themselfes. In my opinion, If you are not able to to do this, you are not able to start in a controlled manner. Then you should not start but go groundhandling and learn to control your wing. If you start in high grass there is always the possibility that something ist between your lines and without it, it's still possible that something different ist wrong, even If you don't feel it because of wind etc
Done an SIV a while back in Oludeniz. I'll be booking one with P-Paragliding next summer. Very well put together video! Also, this channel gets an instant "subscribe".
Thanks for your vidéo tutorial it usefull. Please could you make another one for ground handling and another for an "happy landing" or how to read the approach and final 😅. I m a French beginner so forgive me for my english and for my requestes 😊
i have seen tons of paragliding videos due to the fact i am learning to fly. But this video for sure is one of the best - maybe the best - video i have seen so far. Thanks for that.
Hello TOBY could you to do a TUTO about Thermiques . I explain How to turn to go up ? i hope you undrestand I'M french and my english is not too good . Thank you so much TOBY
Video should be titled how to die paragliding if you dont do everything perfectly.... And are lucky. Good lord. Dude talks about this death defying activity like hes explaining a recipe for green bean casserole
Lol at 8:18 when you say "push onto the chest strap" then fly by with yours unbuckled. Sorry, really helpful video. I'm learning some exciting new things here, thank you.
hi @passionparagliding3994 , thanks for the great video, I have enjoyed it very much. Have tried to download the book, but the book link is not working. Throws some php error of file not found. Hopefully you can fix it soon, all the best and good wind.
Great video and I am looking forward to learning how to parasail. It is definitely in my bucket list of things to learn. Next year when I have a long stretch of holidays
Beautiful Video. That looks like flying paradise. In Ireland we get howling winds on a normal day. Soft thermals I wish. Screamers last year. Have fun. Fly High
Fantastic video Chris, .. I see that you are on your way to Columbia. Have a great trip / tour and I am exited to join you on one in the future. I also would like to share the Mitsos Technique with you.. feel free to comment when you have time. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1AycjhBsPvY.html
Excellent video! I’ve used forward launches for a couple years, and learned a few new things from this video. Question: in the acceleration phase, you talk about rotating and pressing on the chest strap, but your chest strap is undone! Why?
Thank you so much Toby. I would like than you are my instructor . Sorry for my english is not too good. But i learn much with you . Since i learn with you i'm taking off better I no longer dread my takeoffs.
Excellent video as always. I have been thinking about paragliding for years, and I did my first ever tandem in Slovenia in September with a very skilled pilot. That was amazing. I was not scared for a second - just enjoying the very short 30 minutes in the air :-) I am approaching 62, but I really would like to try this out. Thanks a lot. Greetings from Norway
