I'm not saying you have to make 7 second thermaling turns ... just showing you it's possible, when needed!

[itcantalk]

Me: does literally anything
Greg: you wanna change that

[thestonesstone]

I'm a paraplegic and just started trike paragliding. Stoked!!

[justjane]

Just got my licence in wilderness with my instructor Ben, absolutely life changing sport and love ur channel

[clbuzzetta]

I love all the common student mistakes that you call out.

[marksuch]

I'm starting my course in South Africa Port Elizabeth soon . This has to be the most comprehensive channel for PG .. Awesome content ..

[xavierdupla]

Watching Greg's videos: you DON'T want to change that :-) :-) :-) Keep up the amazing work Greg, the paragliding community is lucky to have you!

[KyleOzz]

Im not a paraglider, nor do I partake in any sort of recreational flying. Not a huge fan of the free fall feeling either. But I must say Greg, you videos are great. I've watched quite a few now. Your presentation is tiptop and the content is very enjoyable.
I have zero intention of getting up in the air but I keep watching 👍🏼

[solentflyerparagliding]

Loving these videos Greg as a student doing CP at the moment these tips are like finding nuggets of gold in a mountain of often confusing and conflicting advice - keep up the amazing work 👍👍👍

[johnrudge]

This is worth far more than £10 a month for sure! Experience and knowledge from Greg over his many years of flying presented in a clear, concise, practical and easy to take in and understand way with Greg's good sense of humour. Thanks Greg this is going to transform my flying! Can't wait to see this next series!

I'm a paramotor pilot now and I'm very interested in learning to paraglide. I love these videos, Greg, because you are honest, humble, cheesy, and wildly informative. When you make mistakes, you own them, like when you got stuck in the desert!

I'm subscribed and hope to someday paramotor in the morning, hike up a hill and paraglide late morning to early afternoon, get some late lunch, then paramotor into the sunset. Can't wait!

I just watched your video on swoop landings, that happened to be the first thing I wanted to get instruction on, and there it was. Where I trained the instructor stood at the top of the hill, never seeing my landings, and never giving any input that I could use to make my landings softer. I have spent most of my time as a paraglider pilot wondering how much more my knees could take. Now that I have watched 3 of your videos I have several techniques I am anxious to try. Thank you!

[cloudsculptor]

Excellent list
I even employ some of them ...

[abdishatwan]

My most amazing instructor .. big Salut

Greg, don't change you. Your great man, probably saved my life preemptively . it's pretty cool the way you talk right into the camera hahaha like you're looking for us in there

[jeffgoin]

Good tips, concisely presented.

Regarding tight turns in thermals. May I suggest that SOME thermals are wide and weak. A steep turn would give up climb rate in these. More accurately it would be : "use a bank that keeps you climbing at the highest rate" which is sometimes shallow. But be willing to go steep when the tightness of a core demands it."

Of course this head knowledge must turn into skill developed through application.

[Hemersonr]

precious tips and tricks...
in our dayli paragliding those tips could be the difference between a good flight and an incident... thanks for sharing... I love number 7

[crlsdario]
