Superb piloting! I was at Roldanillo during Jan - Feb too and had switched back to a 'B' glider, a Swift Six from a 'C' Bonanza. On the whole no real problems as I was flying within my skill level and comfort zone. I witnessed reserve throws and heard of several too. The basic message is fly what you can handle and not what you think you need. It's not worth the 'fear factor'. You can obviously handle the Peak very well. :)
Does your Swift handle turbulence better than your bonanza? obviously the right answer for you but I generally feel like I'm more thrown around in my swift than my friends in their Cs.
I am not widely experienced in flying other gliders and I suppose the Swift Six does move around a fair bit. But, generally speaking all I get is small tip collapses most of the time with active piloting. I just feel happier under the Swift compared to the Bonanza 2 which could collapse (with me) most unexpectedly at any moment. Others may have a different opinion. From what I see now most of the 2 liner Cs are very stable.
Vielen Dank für diesen Einblick und Deine Antworten in den Kommentaren!!! Wirklich beeindruckend, was es braucht, um bei solchen Wettbewerben mitzufliegen! Allein vom Zuschauen habe ich so ein 🥴Gefühl im Magen bekommen. 🙂👍
Ganz normale Fliegerei mit einem EN-D 😅 In turbulenter Luft ist aktives Fliegen angesagt! Das war aber kein Wettbewerb, sondern einfach Streckenfliegen.
Excelent active piloting. Thanks for a great video. Is there some special advice or technique or anything what you can higher up and share with us, which we can use in these kind of conditions? For example, I think I'm using technique "breaking colaps by colaps". I realised you worked pretty a lot with a C-risers or so instead of breaks ? Does it work that well as breaks during active piloting in turbolent air?
Thanks for watching, but please don't learn paragliding from UA-cam videos. If you have specific questions about piloting the wing, it's best to ask your instructor or an experienced pilot you know. You can also join my Telegram group if you wish, where pilots of different levels share their experience and ask questions.
@@dymanoid Heh, no worries, I was just asking. Nobody tells you the exact manual how to fly perfectly. When its happening up there, nobody's there, just you and situations you were watching or talking about before are just there and real and have to deal with it. So any good catch in the brain or subconscious before is helpfull.
It's a good idea to do one or multiple SIV courses. Then you won't be surprised by the reactions of the wing because you have already actively practiced different situations and exactly know how your wing behaves, what you can do and how, and most importantly, what NOT to do ☺ Just watching others doing something or talking about it is simply not enough. In a stressful situation, we tend to forget about conscious things and instead act on instinct or trained behavior.
So active. In control of his place in the air, so in tune with the nature of the sky this guy is tight. Only hope that when I present myself to big sky I am as ready to the wind as @dymanoid.
These moments were mostly taken from 7-8 hour flights, so it's possible to get used to the turbulence and keep going. The workload is quite high, you're absolutely right, but there are always some (more or less) calm glides in between, so you can recharge your mental battery. Indeed, when you land after such a flight, you feel quite exhausted, but at the same time very happy!
Wow! You have got imressive piloting skills in this conditiins! To me, it is quite hard to see what you reacting to. Is it shoot or wing pressure? Would love to learn from you
Actually, both. Because of the image stabilization, it's not always clear, but in some clips you can still see the wing pitching or surging forward - that's where it needs to be stopped. In other cases, the airflow causes the wing to lose pressure on one or both sides, so a brake or rear riser pull is needed to keep the wing inflated.
Krass wie heftig man an den hinteren griffen ziehen kann, ich hab da eher angst so dran rumzureisen.. aber da sieht man halt.. skill und anderer Schirm
Bei den 2-Leinern geht einiges mehr, 3-Leiner vertragen weniger Zug an den hinteren Tragegurten. Aber immerhin - in sehr turbulenter Luft muss man entschlossen reagieren und den vollen Steuerweg nutzen, um Kappenstörungen zu vermeiden.
Bonjour et merci pour les videos ++++ ! je vole sous artik R (avant sous D 3 liner), Je pense repasser sur D et sur la peak 6... Mes questions : a voir les ozone autours de vous, elles semblaient moins sur faire chahuter ? Ou bien pour tout les pilotes les conditions étaient turbulentes? merci pour votre retour
Bonjour et merci pour vos commentaires ! Cette vidéo a été enregistrée en janvier/février 2024 en Colombie. Les conditions étaient si violentes que nous avons observé jusqu'à 6 déploiements de réserve par jour pendant ces 3 semaines. Le comportement apparemment calme des ailes autour de moi n'est qu'une illusion, les pilotes travaillent aussi très dur. Mais en général, vous avez raison, les ailes d'Ozone sont plus solides que celles de Peak 6. Cependant, j'ai l'impression qu'elles sont aussi beaucoup plus dynamiques lorsqu'elles s'effondrent à cause de cette solidité.
Thanks for watching! It feels very shaky and twitchy! I first tried to turn off the stabilization completely, but then the footage gets too shaky and it's hard to understand what's going on. My camera is attached to the carabiner, and the carabiner moves a lot in rough air because my wing transfers all the air movement directly to the harness without any damping.

Absolutely! I cannot agree more with your statement about flying the gear that allows you to focus on decision making, not on piloting.

Excellent demonstration of active flying that is most educational for those of us that have yet to fly such turbulent conditions! Thank You, Sir!
You are quick man! Quick and decisive!

a real nice relaxed flight :-))))
Great active piloting!!
Awesome piloting😊
Every time I ride the ridge to the tower at La Union I just know it's comin.

@@dymanoid I absolutely agree. Thank you
I thought I had a high tolerance for flying but thats a different level, think I would prefer to be in the local cafe having a brew.
Grazie molto utile per me. Vorrei sapere che telecamera hai usato e dove è posizionata, vorrei provare a installarla anche io. Complimenti ancora.
Certo: registro i miei video con una videocamera Insta360 X3 che monto su uno dei miei moschettoni.
@dymanoid grazie, e dal moschettone riesce a inquadrare tutta la vela e le mani senza troppa distorsione ? Forse è montata su un' asta
Sì, la videocamera è fissata con un selfie stick, quindi non è direttamente sul moschettone.
@@dymanoid grazie

wow, high workload! how long can you fly in conditions like this without getting exhausted?

That cute frontal at 2:58 got me 😂
Yep, loved it too 😁 Also was happy to prevent it from being something creepy and nasty 🤭
@@dymanoidyou were all over it… these cameras are so good at capturing these shots
Well done did you prefer to use brakes or rear steering in turbulent air ?
I usually fly on B's in light to moderate turbulence. When the air gets ugly, I switch to the brakes.
Very nice active flying, hard work! When was this?
Ps Sometimes it looks like a reverse puppeteer😊

SUPER ,nice skills men
I wonder how Malin Lobb would fly this conditions.
👌🏼😎
Nice one. Additional request: Can you make a video without image stabilization to get a better feeling of what it's like?

reaction at 3:26 Jab before the collapse happened 👌
👏💯🔥❤
Artik 6?
Nope. Peak 6, it's also stated in the video description.
牛逼plus！
