How To Reverse Launch A Paraglider

Knowing how to reverse launch a Paraglider is essential for every pilot. I went to my local launch site to show you my own easy reverse launch technique. This is very important in the Paragliding sport.

Hey there, I decided to do this short video on how to reverse launch a paraglider in slow to moderate wind conditions. If you enjoyed the video, make sure to like and subscribe to my channel. IS FREE! ;) Happy landings!

Thanks for the video great simple instruction . I need to practice this more often rather than forward launches

Nice video. I always lay my wing out and lay my harness out and hook my harness to my wing and thoroughly examine my connections. Then when I'm sure I pick up my harness and turn it and put it on.

I personally like to first build the "wall" (back of the wing on the ground). Then do the main visual check there. This way I can easily and safely spot problems on the A lines and B lines (and C lines if the wind is not very strong) and also align the wing on the wind's direction. Then as I easily pull the wing up I only need to focus on C lines and brake lines and therefore gain some extra time for wing control and body rotation.

Your camera is pointed too low and your commentary is a little “wobbly”

👍👍👍
I do it the same but with an "A" riser with each hand in case it goes up wrong correct it. I've done a lot of ground handling and it's easier for me like this, especially with little wind. If it's too windy, I'll do it your way, it's safer.
I say this as an apprentice, so that no one believes that what I say is as it should be.

Simple, informative, helpful 👌 Thank you so much :)

One suggestion. Bend a little more your knees, so when the wing is comming up it has enough load to not take you off from the ground. As you can see around 5:25~5:30, when the wing inflates, you barely stand at the tip of your feet, bending your knees and bringing your gravity center down, will make you even more firm on the ground, making an anchor with your load in the wing, so you can make your movements with more precision.

Point 3 says "pull firmly on the brakes". But aren't the As still in one hand?

Steps to do a reverse launch; Step 1, be in a reverse position when lifting the wing. Step 2, turn around as you proceed to forward launch.

Plz don't fix mount a Camera to your head!
