Keep calm and face the wind : ) Great vid!!
-
Thank you for great video. You make it seem so easy and controlled facing the wind while going backwards.Good reminder to keep a strong mind and always face the wind.
-
It seems fairly obvious that you’re a considerate and well experienced Pilot thanks for the video. Excellent flying.
-
Nice video!! Thanks!
-
Great examples thanks for posting 👍
-
Liebe die Videos! Gerne mehr von dir ❤

Hi, thank you for another educational video. I'm surprised you're not worried about landing behind obstacles. I always in stronger winds, try to be as far from the trees as possible. Maybe unnecessarily? Greets
-
thank you so much:)

Once, while I was still a paragliding student, I got caught up in such a strong wind that I had to push about 1/3 bar all the way down until I touch the ground, just not to get pushed back. These days I try to land well before the wind picks up too much.

Hi, nice video. Just letting you know that in the 2nd landing (you're between Zarzal and La Paila I think?), in those swamps, there is capybaras :) they are a bit shy, but next time you should land closer and then go and visit them
-
Thanks for your incredible & educational content - I'm loving every video! Worth bearing in mind that landing on brown fields increases the risk of encountering unexpected thermals, dust devils etc - see the Fly With Greg video "Paragliding first day out of lockdown: Dust devil, Crash!"...

Nice video👍🏻 and nice socks😜

In a number of those landings you choose a field with trees in the upwind edge when other options appear available. I'd have thought it would be a good idea to avoid upwind obstacles because of the potential for rotor, which extends quite a way downwind. You mention turbulence on one landing but what is your thinking and experiences on this?
-
landing backwards would scare the sh... out of me :D
-
Why don't you kill it with the rear risers (the Cs in my case)? When the wind it's too strong it's hard to kill it with brakes, and sometimes you're drag by the wind... With the C's the wind goes down pretty smothly.

6:05 If this happens with a climb assist, the damage is great. That's why I hate landings in strong winds. The tension and worry about the gear is very high, but it can't always be avoided. 🙈 With free-flight equipment, it doesn't bother me at all

Is a SIV course necessary before embarking on a Cross Country Flight ?
