    Absolutely love this x would grabbing the C lines Be a better way to arresting the wing if you’re getting dragged

      Yes, you are absolutely right in most cases but when I'm going backwards I prefer to do a full frontal and collapse the A's because as the wing is diving down it gives you time (milliseconds ) to turn around and get ready to pull the brakes or the back risers before it re-inflates but as you can see from my video, I did not pull the A's hard enough which cause the wing to reinflate before it got to the ground. The reason I like the full frontal technique is because as the wing dives at the ground it increases speed. But when you pull the back risers, you are also in vulnerable position if it's very windy because you are still slowing the wing down before it stalls. But the main thing to remember is that this technique must be practised because it can go wrong if you do what I did and don't pull the A's hard enough. So as you have said, if in doubt, just to pull the back risers.
