How I Learned To Reverse Launch.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 тра 2017
- The paragliding reverse launch or take off is an essential skill for every pilot to learn and master. Every pilot should learn how to reverse launch safely and effectively as soon as possible.
I knew my reverse launch technique wasn't that good, but I didn't realize how bad and dangerous it was until I started filming my takeoff's. Hundreds of launches later, I feel confident that I can complete a perfectly safe and efficient reverse launch.. join me on that journey!

This is by far the most informative - best explanatory - well edited tutorial video in the history of mankind!! :) well done my friend! Subscribed and liked from the first 5 sec!
Great, short and to the point, just what we need to aid my training!
I have watched the paragliding launce compilations and constantly see them ruining the reverse. This and your thoughts are exactly what someone needs to hear. Nice job
That's how an instructional video is made!
Short, to the point, clear graphics, clear explanation.
I hereby appoint you King of UA-cam Instructional Videos!
The parallel hands grip is the easiest way to get a nice straight launch on non-crosswind launch sites. Simply pull on the lowest A riser to accelerate that side of the wing to get it up nice and straight - you simply steer the wing up using the A risers - simple, direct, clear, and self-evident. Say to yourself, "pull on the low(or)slow side", and "step towards the low wingtip" - train to do these things the instant your wing rises off the ground and keep doing them all the way up, and magically everything is straight as an arrow overhead.
For crosswind launches (like most towing), use the crossover technique. As the wing rises above you, you will need to brake the fast side and maybe accelerate or unstall the slow side (using the A's) and everything is already in the correct hand, you simply release the A riser that you need to brake and go ahead and brake it, unlikely you will be using that hand again on the A's this side. That brake input turns the glider out of the wind and towards the takeoff path, and you run extra hard while monitoring the soft side for A input should you need to unstall it.
For much stronger wind launches, either of the above techniques are used again, but to depower simply pull either A riser hard and collapse that side of the wing, and lean firmly on the uncollaped side with a large amount of brake there as well - now after your checks, simply release the collapse and you rise off vertically. I cannot see how any directional control could be gained from either the one handed or A&C technique.
It's important to take a single step forward at the last second after raising the wing. This saves you needing to apply much brake at all when the wing stops overhead. In light winds braking will only make the wing vulnerable to collapse, and in strong winds it will make it vulnerable to lofting you into an uncommanded launch - very dangerous if the wing is already well off to one side. Standing perfectly still will also make the wing overfly you, frontal, blow back, then inflate explosively - usually hauling you off your feet backwards, even in light wind.
You CAN look at the glider while doing your takeoff run. You CANNOT look it overhead, but simply look left and right for your wingtips - an easy task while in the correct torpedo posture running with your knees bent. Dodge left and right during your takeoff run to keep those wingtips at the same height.
I have viewed dozens of paragliding videos. Learned a lot, but without question your content and explanations are exceptionally well done. I have already shared this with a friend. Great job!
Awesome Awesome Awesome Video with amazing camera positions clearly explaining everything. Amazing.
Beautifully shot, edited and thought out video! THANK YOU!
Great video! I really can sympathize with the effort you have put into the making of this video! And well animated! Great job!
Loved seeing all the different hand positions for reverse launch techniques ❤️
Thank you
One of the best videos I’ve seen. Outstanding. Thank you.
I've watched a plethora of reverse video launches, but none compare with this. Simple, concise and with an explanation of failures, and just as important, what to do right. Well done
Woah, this is the BEST video I've seen so far. Love how you did the graphs and how it allows us to actually visualize all the actions. Thank you for all the effort on putting it together!
Great video! I really love this kind of training. Please continue with topics like thermaling, landing, wing overs, etc., etc.
Well done. I'm gonna watch this multiple times.
THE BEST video on youtube how to do reverse start! :)
Without doubt one of the most leaning video on paragliding!!! You are a master Jesse!!! From an Italian 30 years paraglider and professional Pilot.
Truly, one of the best reverse launch videos. Thanks.
Thanks to you Kent, and your explanation, I flattered and loved pragliding :), hello from Serbia
Very clear and neat description. One of the best PG tutorial I've seen.
Wow! What a great video...Great job, Jesse.
Fantastic video. That's how a paragliding video should look like. Much appreciated!
Awesome video dude! I don't have schools around here so mastering ground handling has been my only focus and your video is a great confirmation I'm on the right track. Thanks a ton dude! Fly safe 🤘
Keep up the great content!
Brilliant video. Clean and simple. Thanks.
Everything in place unassuming clear talk.
Great instructional video! One of the best edited,well prepared paragliding instructional videos out there! Kudos!
Simply wonderful !
Keep up the good work, Jesse Kent.
Thanks Narendra, it's hard work but i'll keep it up! :)
Thank you Jesse! Great tutorial, perfect editing... Very clear and helpful! Looking forward for the next one! ;)
Excellent video. So well produced and very informative. Thanks so much for the time and effort to make this!
Brilliant tutorial bro. You are the best!
Epic tutorial and amazing edit. Thank you for the effort! Safe flying.
Now I see the big picture, you make it really clear and obvious , outstanding and I hope you keep it up looking forward for next lesson 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
by far the best video - I'm not sure anyone is comfortable with it man. Youre a beast.
Cant wait for the strong wind technique and your analysis!
Keep up!
Well done video, well explained. I love the idea to show the different grip technique right one after another!
I usually use the parallel technique, which works well for me.
But I had also learned the "one handed technique" - good to know for that one: you hold the A lines with the right, and the left brake (it's wing-tip lying on the right, since you are facing the glider) with the left hand. If you are now taking a step to the left, the left side of the wing (still to your right) will come up first when pulling the glider up, you can then stabilise it using the left brake that you still have in your left hand.
short and super useful. amazing video
great description, very informative - thanks for sharing
Saved under my paragliding video playlist. Top notch editing, thank you (from Hessen/Rhön) =)
I agree with my predecessors. This video compactly contains all the most basic, valuable knowledge needed. I always use the reverse launch procedure. Even before starting forward.
Very nice explanation, i learned it myself as well since most schools in germany don't teach the reverse start. Good information to improve with, thanks!
Just started on my journey to get my P2.. Had my first flights last week and this vid shows everything I did incorrectly in my launches, and the finer points on how to correct them.. Awesome vid. Subscribed! Thanks!
Yeeehawww, that's what we need! More pilot's! Good on ya Mike!
I probably watched this 50 times while I was learning it from an instructor. Got it down! Thank you.
Best reverse launch video!
Nice and clear and concise. Thank you!
Outstanding explanation and demonstration with good video angles, clear and provides good description of the three basic setup techniques. Congrats.
fantastic video mate, super helpful. keep up the good work !!
Very clear and useful ! Many thanks 😊
great info and well made video, thanks for your efforts
Really good explanation - very beneficial for learning the reverse launch! Good job.
Make more videos. This was the best paragliding video I have seen on the entire internet.
Nice video. Thanks. Will share with my students.
this is so well edited. cant wait for more! :)
that's a dense video. I've watched 1h videos that do not have all this info. great content, great editition job, great video!! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Excellent video. I had no idea that there were that many different techniques to use the ricers and control lines. I will save this one to always review it before I go flying.
Thank you!!! Great explanation!
I love your video approach. thanks and keep it up!
hey Jesse, a great video, the 'bad start' clarification is especially useful - happy flying
I'm happy it was useful for you! That's the main reason I made it! Thanks Steve.
Beautiful and such a concise informative video. Cudos. The art is in telling everything clearly in shortest possible time. Gr8 video
Well done Jesse. Thanks
What a good video. Simple, good explained and easy to understand. Thank you
!Spot on!!! this is what us begginers need!!! thanks a lot,
Bravo Jesse! Great video: well built and, most of all, very informative! Thanks a lot, Jesse!
Thanks for the kind words Giovanni.
Great video bro!!🤙🏼
Great vid, good job..thanks
A few new things to try out. I also tend to try and get lift with not enough load on the wing. Thanks for the tips. Great vid!!
Excellent video.
EXCELLENT video. Thank you.
very good explanations!
this is a very very very very very good video i am learning the reverse launch now
Bravo, nicely done and instructive !!
Sincere thanks from Brazil. I really appreciate your effort to make the sport safer. The only thing I do not understand is why here most of the pilots (including the ones on PPG) do prefer "the one handed method". Personally, I think that 'Mitsos' is the one that gives the pilot all the control that he needs. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderfully informative video, lots of tips to take to the ground handling site. well produced and clear Thank you
Perfect tutorial! Thank you so much :)
Brilliant vid. It looks like you've been doing other things since you made this one. You have a knack for it., don't give up. You have 2k subs in two vids. Impressive!!
Great video! Thank you!!!
Clear explanation, very helpfull👌
Great video! I can confirm that the reverse launche is a technique that must be learned very well, unfortunately I was not followed carefully during my paragliding course by my instructor and the consequence was a bad accident…
nice vid...great explanation...good graphics...everything makes sense
Thanks! Very informative
very nice video... thanks for sharing... very good tips for all pilots
awesome JOB mr Kent ;)
Very Cool Video. Thanks it helps a lot !!
Super job! Thank you!
well explained, thank you!
Great Video !!
Best educative Groundhandling video 👌 🙌
Thank you very much for your great work!
Video was very appreciated 🙏❤
your video helps me a lot
Amazing video
Really helpful! Thanks!
Thank you. a useful video for beginner
Great video!
Thanks for sharing!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
This is just what I needed Jesse. I'm still not totally confident with the reverse launch, but this feels really targeted to help me get where I want to be. Cheers
Awesome, happy to hear it Paul! I want EVERYBODY to experience paragliding in the best way possible (myself included), which is the main reason I decided to make these comprehensive tutorial videos.
Youre video cutting style is so cool i have to give you a sub
A great video!
And you sir win the Para-net! This is the best video by far. No other video does this well to explain the Dynamics of reverse launch. You have a really rare talent for this.
YOU have my sub!
That is such a nice compliment man! Thanks a lot for that!
The next tutorial videos will be just as comprehensive so stay tuned! ;)
Very useful. Thanks a lot.
Thank you! Helped me a lot! :)
amazing video
