That was a good video, and if you keep that level of detail up, I am sure you can have a quite successful tutorial series there.
Interesting that you mentioned catching a surge in part by applying throttle. I also do that, but have actually never heard anyone articulate it before. Perhaps because most real acro instructions are done without a motor, and people don't catch on to what options it gives you, apart from when gaining energy and not when dissipating it.

Excellent video!! I would love to see one on wingovers. Great info, thank you!

[luisgaviria]

Very nice. Would be great to see some instructional video on wingovers. Thanks !!

[dmitriykhudoleyev]

Very well made video tutorial. Thank you.

[travispabst]

Great video and some really sound advice.

Sure do miss Matt. I always worried about his habit of chasing the next "best" wing. If you haven't gotten everything out of the wing you're on, for your desired flying style, there's no reason to get something spicier. New wings don't come with the skills to use them.

[paraglidingSafety]

these stuff shall be learned for the first time at an siv, without the motor, with 2 rescues, under supervision over water with safety, you have just mentioned that you he experiend blackout training this

[asksteevs]

Dudes just do a proper SIV course. PPG guys are terrified of their wings. And with this crazy music why wouldn't they be? So ExTrEmEEEE!!!

[TONYPARAMOTOR]

have you ever had a spiral lock. because I have. and got out of it.on a reflex wing. messing about also have done a controlled deep spiral.under control.

That wasn't September 2022, it was August. UK uses logical date order.

I was there at tong when Sean died having his brake line sucked into prop his prop was too close to his frame was a hot day too

[derk]

Great video Scott! How did you end up getting out of the line twist situation with the reserve caught up in the wing?!?

[jetskiwillywilly]

Pretty scary as a aspiring future PPG pilot. Pull to much to long, go into death spiral. To get out of sprial the answer is sometimes let go and wing will flatten out, other times pull everything to fix.

I BET SPIRAL DIVES ARE LESS DANGEROUS THAN HAVING A COUPLE OF HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUTS WITH GED SHERIFF DEPUTIES, POINTING THEIR PEA SHOOTERS AT SOMEONE DURING A ROUTINE TRAFFIC STOP. AHAHAHA AHAHAHA LOL

[TONYPARAMOTOR]

IVE DONE ALL THIS AND MORE. WATCH PARAMOTOR MISTAKE. AND WATCH HOW I GOT OUT OF A CRAVAT AND SPIRAL LOCK.. EVEN BETTER WHY DONT YOU SHOW ALL OF US HOW YOULL DO IT . . IS THERE ANYONE WITH A VIDEO SHOWING A SPIRAL LOCK? IAM I THE ONLY ONE ON VIDEO? HMMM IT SAYS ALOT ABOUT ME.
