I've watched loads of groundhandling videos and must say that yours are just excellent. Your explanations are so clear, understandable and make perfect sence. I have learned so much from watching your channel - Please keep uploading.... the information you impart is invaluable.
Thank you so much for your kind comment. Appreciate it ! Glad you learning something new with my videos , take care and stay safe and healthy in this crazy World situation
This is so great! Thank you. How do I let my wing down slowly? It kills me when it smacks on the ground, that can't be good for it. Just finished. Easily the best ground handling video on UA-cam.
Thank you very much 🥂 you are only one who used this special youtube thank you . Appreciate it a lot ! Happy new year 🎉🍾 and wish you lots of flying days. Kind regards Peter Holdy
Hi from France and thanks a lot for this vidéo i'm a biginner and Always upside down 😂 so it will be helpfull I like the way you take time to explain again and again and again so it get cristal clear 👍👍👍 chears mate and keep going whith that kind of videos
Hello , i am glad that you found it bit useful 😉 France have many beautiful flying sites. Step be step you will become amazing pilot ! Take care and have fun 😉
I first found this one almost a year ago before I had a wing, and have watched ALL your videos. Now that I just have my first wing and playing with GH this is the *perfect* video as I have experienced all these situations (in my first week, ha). I use the C technique to control the wing and it works great. I also found myself falling into the trap you show of pulling the As too hard and collapsing in light wind. These are great tips and I'm using them 2 1/2 years after you made the video! You're a master my friend.
That is awesome that my video helped you to understand how to control wing. It is nice feeling that my video was useful and keep you safe as well. Hope one day we can fly together so you can show me all your tricks 😉 Thank you John 🙏
Thanks to you, i've finally understood how to empty the sand from my wing, by putting it upside down !!! Great job you've done here Peter. A BIG thank you.
Very nice! You show us how to handle the glider in difficulut wind conditions on the ground and you show us the mistakes that we should avoid. Very good!
Pete: This is the best video on this topic that I have seen (and I have seen a lot of them)!...very useful! Your down to earth demeanor together with your simple/clear explanations and your interest in teaching others set this video apart from others treating these topics! Congratulations and thank you!
I never saw someone control a wing on the ground with b-lines. Of COURSE it makes great sense. Thank you for bringing this to light. I can't wait to try it out. Nicely done.
Hello Peter, I am a beginning paraglider and your video’s are really helpfull and clear! Thank you for your effort and being out in the cold and wet all day to help us beginners! Much appreciated!
This is perfect for a beginner just getting into ground handling! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! Extremely valuable information.
Amazingly useful video... I wish I had seen it before being dragged last week... I've learned so much now. I feel more confident for my next groundhandling. Thanks so much!
😁 important is to learn from mistakes 🙏 even better to learn from someone else mistakes 😉 Thank you for watching, wishing happy flying and quick progress !
I started my paragliding school 1 month ago and this video helped me and was realy good to watch :) I cant wait to try these at my next training Alsp you seem like a good person , keep it up 😇
@@PeterHoldy thank you man :D I got really addicted to paragliding , we havr training on weekends and we had our first small flight 3 days ago, i cant wait for the next one and yes maybe we will fly together
Thank you Peter for getting your wing all wet for your demonstration to us. Your instruction was very helpful and informative. Your are truly advancing the sport. Thank you so much!
Dear peter, I learned so much from your 3 ground handling videos. I am beginner and was out there today learning how to fly the wing. As I had watched your videos so many times I was able to anticipate what the wing will do and take actions before it went wrong. I got dragged by strong gust suddenly and managed to kill the wing by wrapping the breaks as you showed it. I also got my wing to correct itself when it flipped up side down by using the breaks and walking along with it. The wind was bit too strong today and so called it a day. I will choose another day when the wind is not too strong. Thank you so much for your teaching videos. I appreciate warmly. regards, ken
Lovely job mate ;) Start with light winds and when you will progress then try stronger conditions. Glad to hear my GH videos helped you! Stay safe mate do not do any stupid stuff ! Thank you for comment ;)
This is what I've been searching for! I was actually glad the wind was light as there are loads of videos of people showing off their back flying and heli tricks in strong wind, but no simple clear demonstrations with simple instructions and description of what is going on. Until now! :D Absolutely perfect for low airtime CP's like me. If you do another ground handling video I'd love some tips on wing tip touches. Whenever I try it my glider usually just ends up folding into a neat pile as soon as the tip is anywhere near the ground. I just can't keep it flying. Either that or it feels like it's dragging as soon as it's not directly above me
Thank you mate :) Doing my best to help you out guys :) Check out my first GH video. There is tutorial about wing tip touching over ground and Cobra launchces. Hope will help you understand it better. Thank you for watching. Enjoy your time with glider !
Thanks for the video Peter. Hopefully I can quit unhooking every time I flip the wing now. Yours is the first video I've seen explaining these techniques. Thanks again for taking the time to make these. I know it's a lot of work.
I totally get what you are saying but I will have to watch this video a few more times to be in sink with your fast talking. I just learned more in 5 minutes with you than I have from anyone. I think I want to master paragliding before I go to paremotoring just because they rely on the one thing that most paramotor people are afraid of. I don't want to have any fear and know what you know. Thanks so much. Going to see all your vids but I can tell you are excited to share.
Thank you for your comment and sorry for my fast talking 🙂 Glad you learning with me something new. Wishing you lots of fun and quick learning 👍Take care and stay safe 😜
@@PeterHoldy thanks mate, I realized just after posting that that you even make sure we get it by repeating what you just showed as a lesson recap. So good you do that. I hear and learn the way you teach so it was actually perfect. I have fallen in love with this sport over the past few years and when I get into the air, I want to thank you first for teaching me, "the ropes" so to speak. Yes, I will go to a school but I want to know as much as possible about the gear and what to be prepared to learn so I don't get left in the dust.
Glad you are learning ! Definitely in some point visit school and be a legal pilot! PG community is really nice and lots of people will help you on your journey ! 👍🤞
@@PeterHoldy I'm calling a friend today. Just got his number. He teaches. He is a glider and a paraglider dude and I think he sells equipment. I have to figure out how to afford this as I am not able. I will find a way because I have the passion and the drive. Everything I ever wanted, I have had so I am sure.
Great video Peter. Its just what I needed. No more unhooking wing from kiting harness when it goes upside down. Thank you Thank you and THANKYOU. !!! Ronald A
I just found your channel and I love the way you explain everything. Thank you for taking the time to make your videos. I will hopefully be buying a wing soon so I can start learning this fascinating sport. You just got another subscriber.
just two days ago i've had my glider up side down with four twist on the lines. this video has cleared my mind on what to do in the future. Thanks Pietro (Peter).
Peter, thank you so much taking up my questions & other points for making this video & helping us understand the control & philosophy at a beginner level (like I am)😁 It helps to know, what exactly we do wrong which results in "oops" moments too often. Really appreciate your willingness to help & your time & effort in sharing such valuable lessons. I'll get the opportunity to do & learn in coming weeks. I'll come back with more questions & my videos (if they aren't too bad) 😁 Special Thanks for doing it even when the weather was so cold and wet. You're awesome. Best wishes & many thanks, Bhushan.
Peter I have watched your videos and enjoy how much patience you have showing each step. I really wish to get me a Paraglider and try the steps you have shown. to tell you the truth I havent seen any others worth watching. :D. And you are right maybe some day we will fly together who knows. THUMBS UP .! 5 STARS. TAKE CARE PETER.
Great video. I'm just starting out, and this helped me troubleshoot some of the mistakes that I was making. Especially since there was low unpredictable winds like what it is like where I kite. I really appreciate you getting your wing all wet for us!
I also just learned how to stop from being dragged (could've used this technique yesterday) again thank you my friend I appreciate your video and I will be watching more as well as the ones you have before this one thank you thank you thank you! DZ
Another excellent video thank you I have learnt so much just watching these videos. I do enjoy the ground handling aspect of this sport even though it's not actually flying. thank you once again.
Even with your accent, I find your guides so much easier to understand and you explain everything in such great detail. I watch other videos and I notice people try to do their best to explain things in their guides but I realize they must be missing some things but I don't get that feeling with you and also feel like I retain a lot of the things you say. You remind me of a cool pen pal hehe.
Thank you very much for nice comment 🙏 Glad you understand my instructions and you finding them useful 😉 I am really happy when my videos helping others to stay safe. Cheers Peter
Just looked that place, is it an amazing place and looks bit busy aswel. Hope you will master GH very soon! Do not fight glider understand it ;) Wish you nice training, here in UK is still bloody bad weather.
Man, you have some of the best PG instruction videos. Thanks for destroying your wing for my happiness ;-). I was talking to you in your other video comments section on my old account ( ryan b ), and your tip about understanding the wing has helped my ground handling so much. Just watching you play with your wing has helped me too. Thanks a lot man - have a good one!
I find that your videos are very informative so informative that I actually subscribe today. I have been struggling with ground handling and I learned today that I am not supposed to pull the A's up just guide them up and pull with my hips from your video! Thank you thank you thank you! I am heading out now to try and kite again! Thank you thank you thank you! You just solved my problem, every time I would kite use my A lines, it would go up but it would come down because I was pulling on the A's, I know now that I should not do that just guide them! By the way did I say thank you? Ha haha! Dee Zee
Yes you did say Thank you 🤣 you are welcome , glad to help. Really appreciate that my videos are helpful! Make sure you feel your glider by hips, be smooth and relax ! Then everything will make sence. Thank you for watching, take care, stay safe !
This video was fantastic but is so sad that there was no wind, I would have loved to see this same techniques but with a much stronger wind to see how the wing would have reacted in a more windy day. I hope your wing is full dry doing great :)
Will do in windy condition aswel :) now you know that B teq. is existing. On normals days i always using C as wing stays on the ground with just B lines glider is flying.
Peter, thank you so much for this instructional video! I am brand new to GH and usually the wing ends upside down because I don’t know what I’m doing. This was VERY helpful to me!!! Thank you for taking the time to make this for us! 🙏🏻
Glad those videos helped you 🙏 Thank you for watching Krzysztof. Check my last video and you can get chance to win a brand new Wing from BGD 👌 Take care and stau safe 😉
'I hope you appreciate I destroy my wing for your happiness'... gives me a very good laugh, thanks, Peter! LOL Other very usefull advice: don't be embarrassed when people are watching :-) Not only only highly informative tutorials but entertaining as well :-) Wonderful stuff!
Wish I had seen your vid before being dragged across a gravel road without a jacket ;-) nice tip, man. Your way of describing the flip over is also cristal clear. thx +.
Sorry to hear about you to be dragged across a gravel road, hope you was alright. Hope my video will help you keep safe. Have nice flying ! Thank you for watching ;)
Great Tutorial! Yeah.. nothing’s more embarrassing than trying to sort out your upside down wing in front of a crowd spectators.Thanks for the great tutorial.
Thank you so much for these tutorials, they are really helpful 🙏 I have some new questions, probably some are pretty dumb 🙈 Speaking of wet wing, how/where to do dry it. It’s not really small. And is it necessary/recommended to wash it from time to time, to keep it pretty 😄 When you wrap the brake, you also walk to the wing? How tough can you be on the wing before damaging the connection points of the lines? Is this something you get to feel with time? I personally fear damaging something and I don't put force on it, I treat it as something pretty fragile. Does this mean less control? Thanks again Peter 🙂
Hi, you can dry your wing at home in any room. You do not need to spread it all out flat, just make sure it is completly outside your bag and open leading edge so air can go inside cells as well. More you can open it then it will dry quicker. If you have small room just dry it on stages , bit be bit. Hope this make sense for you. Wash glider only with fresh water and use soft sponge as rough sponge will destroy surface of your wing. Do not use any washing up liquids or any chemical ! Just little warm water! Wash any dirt gently cell be cell. It is long process but rewording 😁 If you drying your wing outside, let say in day time in your garden then place your wing in to the shadow as Sun producing UV which slowly destroying surface of your wing. So less exposure to direct Sun light while you do not flying will reduce surface ageing of your wing. Lines of your wing are extremely strong so no worries to pulling them hard. Lines doesn't like to be dragged over ground as sharp edges of rocks could damage them or snap them. So if you Ground Handle your wing and something go wrong then use 1 brake and wrap it until glider stop pulling you. You won't destroy lines this way so no worries. As your experience grow then you become more gentle to your wing as well 😉 Hope i answered some of your questions 🤞

You are welcome mate, have safe traning and are you learning PG or powered PG ?
Paragliding. Recently I had my first day of trying reverse kiting in strong winds. I didn't do so well, but I'll have another go at it this weekend.
Just looked that place, is it an amazing place and looks bit busy aswel. Hope you will master GH very soon! Do not fight glider understand it ;) Wish you nice training, here in UK is still bloody bad weather.
Man, you have some of the best PG instruction videos. Thanks for destroying your wing for my happiness ;-).
I was talking to you in your other video comments section on my old account ( ryan b ), and your tip about understanding the wing has helped my ground handling so much. Just watching you play with your wing has helped me too. Thanks a lot man - have a good one!
Thank you :D glad to hear my rubbish EN language helping you understand your wing :D Thank for comments, stay safe :D
I find that your videos are very informative so informative that I actually subscribe today. I have been struggling with ground handling and I learned today that I am not supposed to pull the A's up just guide them up and pull with my hips from your video! Thank you thank you thank you! I am heading out now to try and kite again! Thank you thank you thank you! You just solved my problem, every time I would kite use my A lines, it would go up but it would come down because I was pulling on the A's, I know now that I should not do that just guide them! By the way did I say thank you? Ha haha! Dee Zee
Yes you did say Thank you 🤣 you are welcome , glad to help. Really appreciate that my videos are helpful! Make sure you feel your glider by hips, be smooth and relax ! Then everything will make sence. Thank you for watching, take care, stay safe !
This video was fantastic but is so sad that there was no wind, I would have loved to see this same techniques but with a much stronger wind to see how the wing would have reacted in a more windy day. I hope your wing is full dry doing great :)
Will do in windy condition aswel :) now you know that B teq. is existing. On normals days i always using C as wing stays on the ground with just B lines glider is flying.

Thank you so much for these tutorials, they are really helpful 🙏
I have some new questions, probably some are pretty dumb 🙈
Speaking of wet wing, how/where to do dry it. It’s not really small. And is it necessary/recommended to wash it from time to time, to keep it pretty 😄
When you wrap the brake, you also walk to the wing? How tough can you be on the wing before damaging the connection points of the lines? Is this something you get to feel with time? I personally fear damaging something and I don't put force on it, I treat it as something pretty fragile. Does this mean less control?
Thanks again Peter 🙂
Hi, you can dry your wing at home in any room. You do not need to spread it all out flat, just make sure it is completly outside your bag and open leading edge so air can go inside cells as well. More you can open it then it will dry quicker. If you have small room just dry it on stages , bit be bit. Hope this make sense for you.
Wash glider only with fresh water and use soft sponge as rough sponge will destroy surface of your wing. Do not use any washing up liquids or any chemical ! Just little warm water! Wash any dirt gently cell be cell. It is long process but rewording 😁
If you drying your wing outside, let say in day time in your garden then place your wing in to the shadow as Sun producing UV which slowly destroying surface of your wing. So less exposure to direct Sun light while you do not flying will reduce surface ageing of your wing.
Lines of your wing are extremely strong so no worries to pulling them hard. Lines doesn't like to be dragged over ground as sharp edges of rocks could damage them or snap them.
So if you Ground Handle your wing and something go wrong then use 1 brake and wrap it until glider stop pulling you. You won't destroy lines this way so no worries.
As your experience grow then you become more gentle to your wing as well 😉
Hope i answered some of your questions 🤞
@@PeterHoldy thanks a lot again Peter 🙂 🤗
