please make another video lile this exactly lile this but with every detail including compability (all the stuff that you use listed per combination) and combination able to hold dpuble skin glider or only single skin etc.

Wow, great! it is also on my bucket list. in november I want to do it. tell me how to find the starting point? how much does it cost? can I rent equipment? I prefer my own paraglider

thanks for speaking up about this issue and a very nice flight. Also what wing and harness are you using?

Hola Joanna. Disculpa que te pregunte. Estoy interesandome por el parapente recientemente y parto de cero. Me estoy escuchando todos tus podcast, leyendo manuales y preguntando a quien puedo. Los equipos que utilizas en el video tan ligeros permiten coger térmicas y vuelos dinámicos o solo descenso? Me I Teresa el hike&fly, pero no se si permite hacer cross. Gracias y un saludo.

Good point for training: taking your feet out of the pod for manoeuvres. I have only ever done a minimal SIV once at Annecy, most of my SIV has been getting whacked when there was no one to help…..AAAAAAAARG!!! I need to do a full SIV. I will be getting a brown corduroy flying suit and cycle clips in preparation! 💩👾👾👾👾👾👾😎

Good that you speak about it. That is at least something you can do.

Well spoken. I know a few Venezuelans here in the U.S. that share your views and frustration but also hope. It's just sad to see that things have to get really bad before they get better. On a good note, now we know why you don't have a French accent!

Maybe that is not the right way to stop the twist and untwist... you were lucky that the para didn’t keep twisting. You should have put your hands higher then the point the lines crossed each other... and you should cross your harms... in a way that not only you stop the twist but you also untwist yourself giving to your body a spin movement opposite to the twist....

Blimey, these advances gliders really need precise inputs... You wrote in the comments that your inputs were "very asymmetric", but if what I see in the video is considered very asymmetric... I'm staying under my B glider! Zero chance my inputs are anywhere close to being as good as yours. 😅

Well done Joanna on keeping your cool and getting out of it. I was practising stalls at the same spot a couple of years ago and get twisted as well. Thankfully mine was just one twist and I came out of it fairly quick.

Wow!

Clean!

It took a while to even start untwisting. Fortunately there was only a small cravat.

Thanks for posting. A great video and lesson. Well done

I also wonder what the instructor said. I am no expert but it seems to me that when you let the glider fly, situation got worse, between the energy of the exit and the cravat. I wonder if you had stayed in back fly if the recovery would have been more straight forward. Awesome job managing this regardless.

Great recovery.

good work!!You Kept your cool and managed the situaion!!

Wow! Good job keeping your cool and working the problem!

All I can say is ... Amazing work on focusing on piloting. No problem can be solved without piloting first, to give yourself time.

Wow, it would have been interesting to hear the instructor on the radio during this. Good job getting it cleared.

The Beatles' lesser known hit, Twist and Sigh.

Good job Joanna, I think 7 twists to get free again?

I made a couple of mistakes during the first full stall of an SIV course and it got me seriously twisted. After the course, my instructor debriefed this incident and explained what mistakes I made (so, no need to comment on that). Basically, the entry was asymmetric and the second step of the stall was also very asymmetric, so that got me twisted. Fortunately, the brakes were still working and I was able to stop the rotation and work my way out of the twists. How many twists did you count? 😅

Joanna, the best meet director!:)

Joanna con esas caras de terror que pusiste , hasta calambres en el estomago medio ya no quiero hacer mi SIV tengo miedo 😢

Nice wings and place....enjoy

Great video, was very interesting to watch, especially with the narration. Thanks!

Grande Joanna!

Thanks for the video! 8:42 - this shouldn't happen on entering the backfly. The trailing edge is flipped over here, so too much brake input. For a smooth backfly, the airflow must build up from the trailing edge. To achieve this, the trailing edge must be slightly bent down by the brakes (the so-called backfly hand position). If the pilot pulls on the brakes too much when catching the wingtips, the trailing edge flips over and the airflow cannot build up smoothly. This leads to the dancing wing and all those dynamic movements. Next time you practice full stalls, try to pay attention to this - make sure you keep a big part of the trailing edge open all the time. You'll be surprised how smooth you'll be going into the backfly. No stress, no shaking, not much effort required. Have fun with it! (You can check out a video "Full stall & back fly on a paraglider" on my channel if you want to see what I mean).

crazy

Wing overs ??

Nice work! It's always impressive to see the climb these winf gets exiting spiral! A little mistake I see on quick exit and might actually just be perspectives but it looks like you catch the wing before it goes above your head on the clip of your stong side. Idk if it is on purpose, perspective or actually different piloting "theorie / view" but from how I understand wing behaviour it is bad practice as the wing is pretty fragile as it might not have got enough energy back. (I mainly fly acro and miniwing atm and don't fly that high aspect ratio wing so maybe there's a reason^^')

You don't need to get stronger to stall your glider properly, its more about the position and movement of your hands and shoulders and the timing and momentum you create when entering a stall. You need to keep the shoulders back and the hands move down close along the risers. Your hands started moving outwards and away from your body which weakens your lever. When you start the maneuver you can take advantage of the swing you create while breaking (kind of like you are on swing). If you break in a stady movement and go down a bit further but not wait down there for so long you should be able to enter the stall more smoothly and the wingtips will not go back so far, which will make everything less agile. Also after catching the shoot of your wingtips you should release your hand almost completely again and than bring them down to your backfly position. Its basically a 3 stage maneuver: stall, catch wingtips, enter backfly. Hope that helps.

I feel like you could have waited a bit longer before hitting the brakes on the first exercise :) EDIT: Indeed it takes allot of power to intentionaly stall your wing. Even as a man I was supprised by how much I had to pull and wrap my brake lines.

Great editing, I just did a week at Annecy and it's an amazing place. Who did you take the lesson with?

I was 💩my pants on day one. How do you feel about SIV? (Note: after the course, we had a debrief and Seiko analyzed all the maneuvers using the videos, so I already got all the advice I need to improve)

Hola Joha! Alguna posibilidad que nos puedas compartir tu actual setup de instrumentos en el Navigator?

Wonderful! I am about to do my first mountain overnight and this was so helpful--I feel I can do it! Thanks!

great review, thanks! do you know if it is possible to couple this app with a bluetooth vario with fanet+ and get the fanet information displayed in the app?

Hi, thanks for the review! It would be actually nice to see how it looks in flight but I guess it would be more difficult to film... Something got me confused on an online shop selling this device, is the life subscription to SeeYou navigator included when you buy it? Is it possible to display the map of skyways / thermals like on flyxc while flying?

Te veo en SRS Spain!!!!

Perfectly timed video for me! Haven't been flying much since January as life and other hobbies have taken over and was starting to fall out of love. I had a short 30m flight yesterday and felt a little rusty but also reminded me how great if can feel when you're flying more and are more in tune with your wing. Hope to get out more this summer and get back into the flow! Hope you're also feeling back in love with it, sorry to hear that you were feeling low but I guess these ebbs and flows are all a part of it

Hi Joanna, thanks for the great review. I have a question about airspaces. Does it have them updated? Now Imagine you have an airspace that begins at 2000m and you fly at 1500m, so you haven't entered that airspace yet. But now you gain altitude and you hit 2000m, what happens then? How does it warn you? And last question: how do you deal with the screens when you have thick warm gloves? Thank you again!

How do you get to Le Sambuy launch now that the chair lift is closed ?

Great review thanks :) Is there a way to display a vertical slice of the airspace? Seing the restricted area vertically, terrain and current trajectory is very useful

Seems very pretty but does much less than XCGuide.

Hola Joanna no lo has hecho en español? Muy bonito

Nice video. Thx for the reminder. Been flying since 1997 . On and off a few times due to kids and family stuff. I must say that I totally agree with your assumption. Paragliding is just an amazing and beautiful way to experience nature at its best. I hate when people think we do this for the sake of an adrenaline kick. If they only knew what we know! :)

This is so important. The human condition has this strange thing, that we can soar for 20 minutes above beautiful landscape on a sunny day, land safely and all we feel is frustration over bombing out. Been there, done that many times myself. It helps appreciating what we can actually do, even when the results don't line up with the ambitions. I also often think back to one of the most beautiful moments of my life: The first proper mountain flight, a 10 minute sledder through calm air, landing with tears of joy.

Always inspiring Joanna. Thanks for your nice work
