Paraglider Takeoff Kaleidoscope XXL #3

preview_player
Показать описание
This is just a simple compilation of more than 220 paraglider take offs performed in 2020 & 2021 (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! ;)

Great material. I have done over 500 tandems myself and you can see it well when your friends lack the starting technique.

Reverse start is essential in the mountains. And paradoxically the easiest in these conditions. As long as you 'hold your horses ...' And when you raise your wings, you will move forward smoothly.
You gain a sure start and a higher starting point.

You don't have to run so much. You only need to make four points of that takeoff correctly. The gentleman with the belly showed how it's done. He knows it perfectly ...
It's nice to remember when I flew in these places myself. So many long flights, searching for a terma all day, or suddenly landing with air flowing from the mountains ...

Great material and good frame. It does not get boring with too long fragments, it has action in itself.

Greetings.

I’m fascinated by this impressive number of takeoffs.
Yes, you can spot little mistakes here and there.
But one of them really caught my attention: it’s at 17:08, a 360° takeoff! wow!!!

I never get tired of watching launches! Such a myriad of different styles and methods, but some should have circus music ha ha! Thanks for posting these!
