You're the man, Jocky! My new favorite you-tube instructor. One thing occurs to me, my dear friend Jeremy Conrad (has the most style of any paraglider pilot I have ever seen..) tells me that the action of putting your hands through your brake handles can have the effect of you not being able to grab your reserve handle. This fatal event happened to his friend Ziggy during S.I.V. training over water. a collapse, and spin, and hands caught in brake handles, no deployment. I like to put my hands in the handles also, until I heard about that.
I'm studying for my written exam and this video is incredibly useful to understand these techniques that I only read about so far. Thank you very much!
It's best not to as it makes you more roll unstable, so you would be more effected by turbulence than if you had all the wingspan and used brakes to control stability.
hi, you can pull normal big ears at the same time. But if you pull Big big ears, an extra line each side, then it's better to do one then the other as it can do a full frontal collapse.

That is a good point.
And a bit of a dilemma

Could big ears help you if ur already screwed in a rotor zone?? just so u become heavier and atleast "land" faster... ?thx

Why do you want to pull them one after the other and not at the same time?
