Excitement is one thing, adrenaline is another. Paragliding should be calm and calculated. Adrenaline should only be an onset if something terrible has gone wrong. Go into your P1 with a calm and controlled approach and you will soar like the birds! Good luck!

Most do

You’re the only commenter to notice this. Speed bar is on, so more proficient pilots like him will use rear risers and weight shift instead of brakes to control the wing and direction. Why use speed bar and put in the brakes. The thing is when you use rear risers the tension on the top layer increases and can reduce on the bottom layer. With speed bar the nacelles of the ports are tighter and the angle of attack lower. If you deform the wing rapidly the leading edge may not have time to adjust and keep the wing inflated. In this case the turbulent edge of the thermal and changing inputs from the pilot brought multiple factors into play. He was pushing the edge of performance, took a risk and managed his way out of it.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you! 😁 Glad you found it useful.

Glad you enjoyed it, I do love these long flights 🥰

Thank you for watching, I was trying to fly faster than the system, but it didn't work out this time.

Thank you!

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it. It was a nice day out in the mountains.

Glad you liked it! ❤

Noted! I will start keeping track of the meteo forcasts and decisions before the flight.

Thanks for watching!

Hope you like it!

​@@FlyingKarlis a master class as always... it's very interesting the way that you plan your strategy using the macro meteo

Yes it is.

Glad you like them! 🥰

Excellent 👌 video! 🍻

Thank you Ziead! 🥰

Thanks, these T-shirts are made by XMag, I'm sure you can find one in their online shop.

I'm glad you find it useful the knowleage in this video. I have not found a better camera for filming long format videos while flying a paragliders, if you have any suggestion, I'm all ears.

@FlyingKarlis The camera is perfect 👌..you can simply zoom in a bit to flatten the frame. We can then focus on what's in front of your risers (just like a pilot does when flying). I mean...it's all a matter of taste. I bet there are some who like the fisheye..but for me it is not a human perspective (hence the name) and serves the purpose of a novelty rather than a storytelling tool. Don't let it distract you from posting more 🤜🤛

@happywatermelon9024 I took your advice and have addjusted the view for my next de-brief video. Let me know what you think. :) ua-cam.com/video/fxHvyP5vcHY/v-deo.html

@FlyingKarlis The new episode is great! The perspective is much nicer, and I can focus on the terrain and the sky while you fly. There is no distraction with the distorted and shaking risers. Thanks for doing this... it makes me feel appreciated : ) Also, your pauses with the visualisation of the valley winds are always great. I hope in the future you will also do tutorials like that for the other parts of the Alps. Cheers!

Yeah, I did realize this after the fack, here's a slower video - ua-cam.com/video/BCUYKreS8_U/v-deo.html And even more slow here - ua-cam.com/video/LwSJmCGfvAo/v-deo.html

haha, sure is

Thank you, glad you like them. As I have not looked into any type of automatization on this aspect, I am doing it manually. A bit of old-school way, frame by frame, similar how they used to make animations on paper. It's a screen grab of the frame I want to use for explanation, then throw that into a photo editing software, add a layer, draw the lines, save the layer as a new image with transparent background, then start deleting some section of the line save the file as 99 then delete some more save as 98 till you deleted it all. Then add these into video editing software, base layer is the map, another layer for the frame by frame animation. It goes quite quick for me as I'm used to doing it by now. I haven't found a better way to be as detailed as I would like it to be when it comes to explaining valley systems.

@FlyingKarlis wow that's a lot of work. It does come out great though.

Sure is, glad you like the final result.

@@FlyingKarlis thank you so much for all your effort editing that with your hand and sharing it to help the community! Great visualisation of the airflow <3

Your welcome Martin, glad you find it useful.

Thankk you, I was quite pleased with this flight. It's my first 200km flight during which I didn't make any strategic mistakes, that sure helped for the avarage speed. Diva 2 also helped a lot as this wing has a lot of usable speed. Glad you liked the video.

Thank you, glad you like the video. The Diva 2 is a game changer in my opinion. The wing has incredible performance with very high passive safety. It offers both usable speed and performance, making it easy to fly at full speed bar. I've done quite a lot of SIV/Acro practice with this wing before going to India to test its limits and characteristics. This helped a lot. I think BGD has created something very special here.

Glad you enjoyed it, Bir this year was a bit tricky, but did deliver one of the better days in reacent years.

Sure was, with some stunning views!

Glad you like it!

Yeah, it get's even busier than that when the days are more stable. That glide sure was something special.

🤷

The camera is mounted on the flight deck, with a little extension.

Beautiful timming and recover, well done

Hey Petr, Thank you, I'm glad you like the teaching style. The points you make are all good, it dose however take time for pilots to get there. This is where a well run SIV course comes in very handy, to keep practicing and improving on all the small details.

he made a great progress during the course!

Yeah what an absolute beast 😜

Sure can!

That dose help!

This is what we do, the whole point of the SIV's are to get the pilots as ready as possible for things that might eventually happen in the wild. Sure there was instructions druring this execution, but the pilot still managed to keep calm and get things sorted out, instructions only goes so far.

​@@FlyingKarlis it would be very interesting watching the video with the audio of the instructor giving indications to the pilot.

It sure is better to teach 2 step stall directly, the deep stall creates more issues than solves things.

Im also guessing, but I think he means 5% catch at the right time in the dive would have been enough to stop the frontal collapse.

A small amount of brake removes the reflex built onto the wing so you get a more violent shoot if you keep this 5% brake at the wrong time. Still catchable with full brake at the right time as the wing shoots

@7up-weee summs it up.

Thank you, glad you found it useful.
