Paraglider Takeoff Kaleidoscope XXL #4

This is just a simple compilation of more than 320 paraglider take offs performed in 2022 (and 1 hang glider ;)). Most of them are single-seated, but there are also several tandem paraglider take offs.

The mix of various launching techniques (forward launch, reverse launch) in diverse weather conditions and on different take off sites is simply interesting to watch, but hopefully can also contribute for paraglider pilots of any skill level to improve their own take off skills. Watch and reflect what is good and what could be done better. Especially for low-airtime pilots mental training (mental dry runs) can help to preserve or even improve their skills during the time they have no opportunity to fly.
Of course this is neither a tutorial nor could it replace professional training!

Although not all take off attempts are successful and some might look risky, thankfully nobody got injured, not even slightly.

There is no associated sound in this video. So turn on your favourite music and enjoy the show! ;)

Vielen, vielen Dank für deine tollen Kaleidoskopvideos! Ich gucke sie regelmäßig immer wieder und hab dadurch scho nen Adleranalyseblick bekommen! Bitte nicht aufhören damit!

[CuCarrot]

Thanks for sharing. I learnt a lot from your video

[ripmanridin]

the whole thing, in 15min. intervals.

[groundhendl]

6:06 The infamous "targeting the lonely tree" problem. My paragliding instructor always used to say "If there is a tree, don't look at it! Look where you want to go, not where you don't want to go".

[Desuett]

Richtiger Start:
Aufziephase, Kontrollblick und dann erst die Entscheidung zum Starten.
Manche starten schon beim ersten Schritt 😂😂

[karlm]

this Kaleidoscope series is more educating, than the Lizenz trainigcourse at the practice hill. It shows all possible and impossible, that can happen in all variations. And that hustling around beeing to fast is always a bad way, and skipping the calm controled part bevor doing the final run doesnt help in anyway, except zero to tailwind launches ther you need to be fast, If you run you fly-if you dont run you dont fly!
Thank you so much!

[sandrainthesky]

Totally enjoyable! Nice tunes too, love these! Thanks Cloud 9 /\/\/\/\/\

[TheCoco]

Great video and nice music! Keep on going 👌 love the scene at min. 42:20

[Desuett]

Hi Cloud Nine
Es wäre interessant, auf diesen Kanal ein Video mit nur Landungen zu sehen.
Lässt sich da diesbezüglich was machen?
Wäre eine tolle Abwechslung zum Thema "Paragleiten"

[martinpolach]

Commentary? Locations would add interest!

[richtintera]

What went wrong at 25:30? It looked like he had it.

[Stall]

It's very strange that after many starts, in the acceleration phase, the pilots do not lean forward, do not load the wing, and are surprised that there will be a crash and not flight..

[seankmathis]

I just started paragliding after 30 years of skydiving. I love your videos. I find them both educational and entertaining.

But please tell me the name of the last song (fast guitar) and the artist.

Thank you

[Desuett]

Wie Fahrlässig und Plichtverletzend manche starten, indem sie den Kontrollblick nicht machen.
Andere denken, wenn sie wie Hampelmänner losrennen sind sie die besten Piloten 😂😂😂
