Just set up a Patreon account so I could support this. I find your encouraging attitude and deliberate steps to be a great way to learn new skills. I try out many of the GH tools you demo here and have gotten much better as a pilot because of it. Keep up the great work and I will try to find a time to get over to Portugal to fly with, and meet you in person.
Great Bandarra, I have been following you for more than a year. That wink of today to Spanish has won me. Jokes outside ... I love your videos. Always training and therapeutic. Greetings from Spain👍👋
I just bought a glider it's a epsilon 9 and I got a bunch of lessons coming I'm going to learn to fly it. I love math and I've been looking at various problems in the glider flying sport while I'm sitting here in my chair. It seems to me that people have a difficulty with the idea that if it's flying keep flying. If you get a bad twist you should be able to just reach past it and grab something and continue to fly. If you get a partial collapse and you are continuing to fly you can shift your weight to the side that didn't collapse put on a little bit of break and try to land it.
i often wonder why all brakes are not on a bungy cords like the acro people have (really keeps them in a predicable place). Not grabbing your brake in time on a rocky launch for example = bad (like if you get spun around, plunked, etc).
Greate video. Thanks. Love how you twist your head twice to see what's behind you when the helmet is in your face... I hold the breaks correctly before even pulling the wing up. Not a bad idea I think.
That's a life saver that just grab a line and get it on the ground. I saw collapses and stuff like that and they didn't look too pleasant and they look like they might tangle your lines while you were soiling your pants. If that break handle got away from you somehow and you had very little time to hold some air in the glider you could sure take the sting out of a landing if you grab just anything and kept it inflated.
That's on my long list of things to try but to be honest I don't have an in depth response to that so I think I need to do some research, ask the acro guys and then do a video about it
Excellent (as always) information and tutorial ..... all I need now is a paraglider!!

Nossa aprendi muito nesse vídeo, muito obrigado por todo material disponibilizado em seus vídeos de forma gratuita.
Excellent camera angle at about 3:30. Really helps to see how you manage from that angle.
Thank you. Very cool stuff. Going to try this next time I'm out ground handling.

What harness is this?
Andre. whats the prows and cons of 'free brakes' ? no pulley, just bungee cord.

I would absolutely love it if you could get your hands on the BGD Magic and do a review on it!
yeah I'd like to fly one if I have the chance
Good practice............
