BLOWN AWAY: Paragliding safely in strong wind
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2019
- Strong wind causes paragliding accidents. But is it always dangerous? Join Flybubble Paragliding as we compete on the 'Mini-dragon' hike and fly race in extreme conditions. Learn techniques to stay safe in the mountains when paragliding in strong wind (30km/h+).
This is not intended as a 'how to do it' but more of a 'see how it works' ... this sort of guidance is seldom shared by experienced pilots (for fear of someone doing something stupid) but we'd rather you have the knowledge so you are empowered. Choose what suits your flying skills and equipment. Treat strong wind with great respect!

Pushing/testing the limits without too much risk - AWESOME to see an instructor being open and realistic with risks instead of overly cautious
Once again some high quality, informative paragliding content from Greg. Thank you very much for your contribution to the paragliding scene! The value of your videos can't be overestimated.
Thank you.
It was a great race. Congratulations for your win, Greg. It was way too strong for my B wing all day. I sat on Turnpoint 3 for about 2 hours hoping it would settle down a bit, but it never did. It was my only chance to make goal. It wasn't going to happen walking, that's for sure. Another great video as always.
yeah it was a pity the wind didn't ease, as forecast. that would have made the task very interesting.
VERY impressed that you chose the safer plowed field to land in rather than the almost irresistible “main landing field”!
VERY wise ..Thanks for your advice !
I’m a fresh newbie
Great to see the reasoning for everything in the air.
Happy to take my time with my own progression
But really great to see what everyone else is doing and what they feel and why they do.
Give me a year
Things will change and these videos help me
Thanks Greg
absolute legend, what Greg doesn't know aint worth knowing. fantastic tutorial.
Such a fantastic opportunity to show real life, 3D and your thoughts all together! The best PG tutorial ever.
Thanks so much for this Greg. It all seems so obvious when you talk us through it. Up in the air alone it always seems a lot more difficult with doubt and consequence always keeping you honest.
You and your team's other videos have been a huge help in my first year of flying 🇿🇦. Thanks so much 👍
Congratulations on a brilliant performance and deserved 1st place in the Mini-Dragon!
Greg you are a super guy and top man! Thanks for posting.
Great clip, learned a lot from this. Thanks for posting and congrats on the win!
Good Job Greg! Not easy flying in those conditions, but totally doable as you've so skillfully demonstrated. You also made sure we all understood the risks and need to understand your own limits as well as your wing's.
Brilliant video Greg! Great flight - very well done.
Thank you very much for this nice video Greg. I'm a french pilot, mostly flying in french (south) Alps. Before I find your channel, few months ago, I didn't know the potential of flying in Wales. Now, I plan to do a trip next year in your beautiful playground. Thanks again and keep going !
thanks for taking us on your adventures!
Thanks for taking us along on your flight! :)
Super video and excellent commentary - very VERY helpful!
Nice one Greg, well done!
Love the step by step explanation of your thought process. Very helpful for beginners! Thanks
Cracking flight Greg! Thank you for making the video.
By the way, Dan didn't just have any old mini wing! The Air Design Susi 3 16m would have got him from the summit of Pen Allt Mawr to goal if he'd flown! (so Greg would still have won) Someone did a 50km triangle on the 13m version this summer :)
Wow, that was incredible. Well done. I learned a lot from this video. You’re awesome brother.
Wow, Greg & Team!
So well explained :)
To the point and as elaborate as we can possibly expect - where new pilots like me would like to understand the approach to consider.
Thank you!
Great stuff Greg, thanks for sharing :-)
Thanks for all your videos! It's very interesting and informational.
Well done Greg great flying! bloody Gail hanger LOL.
Nice flying Greg!
Just watched again and enjoyed. Lots of very good pointers and reminders when flying in strong conditions, thank you. Why are some viewers giving this the thumbs down?
Seems like a interesting way to travel. And seems like a good way to read the land to see where everything is at
Massive thanks for the creation and sharing of this video. It good to know that I’ve kind of pick-up the same mindset as you when it comes to escape routes. Flying Snowdonia can be a real nightmare in strong conditions and in all honesty I’m super cautious. Sometimes I look at the wind as if it was water and the terrain being the river bed. With over 300+ PG flights in my back garden without a single accident, I must be doing something right but I feel that I’m way too cautious which can be annoying as it keeping me from evolving to a higher-level pilot like you. Again, thank you for sharing your professionalism. Excellent knowledge is key in this sport.
Good stuff............enjoyed it!
very informative .. thank you
incredibile! thank you for your videos!!! they teach a lot! :)
Thanks Greg, I haven't flown yet my course is 3 weeks away but I have watched most of your videos and enjoy the clear and easy to understand information along with the well edited and filmed content. Cheers!
I'm 5 weeks!! Can't wait!!
How was your course? I'm starting out soon too :)
Was excellent! Weather could not have been better. Managed to get in 30 flights in 8 flying days. Brought all my gear and looking forward to learning and flying more.
@@hamishbrown1070 Wow, that's amazing. So are you preparing for getting any specific license?
Hi, I have a PG2 license after course. Should have PG3 by end of year. Just need flights and hours for next level.
amazing
I did not know "paraglider scientist" was an actual job description.
we can’t forget your smile man ..lots of love from gorkha
Wow! Watch out Chrigel!
nice place !!
In Brazil Romulo PQD. also went to fetch the cloud with a paraglider
Brecon to monmouthshire canal... i was fishing there lol...!
What app were you useing to track yourself looks really cool
Greg. Hi from Venezuela, please we need you to Test and review the Flow brand. Specially the Flow Fusión and Spectra which is selling well in Colombia and Venezuela
One f the best parts of flying is time with friends
Ha 😅🤣😅 so much fun
what's the inflatable thing you have in your strike?
Had me wondering if people travel from state to state like that
How to catch the height during gliding

Is there any way to figure out how high you have to be to go safely over the ridge and avoid the Venturi or lee?
on a related note, check out our video on How to Avoid the Rotor

If you run with paraglider - it means business :)
👍👍🇧🇷🇧🇷🦅🦅
What do yo mean with "quick punch to the glider"? "Kill switch" do you mean to give the breaks a good wak to stall it suthenly?
There's a video linked in the description... He pulls a frontal collapse as soon as he's on the ground, then runs towards the glider pulling inthe brakes and aims for the glider fabric to hold on to.
see th-cam.com/video/8KTM32D7nMg/w-d-xo.html
:)
The old man group. Lol
How much windspeed is necessary for paragliding
0, because you can run to get it started.
What is your "kill switch" technique exactly ?

@@greghamerton4422 Thank you so much sir!
How do you feel about the sky cima k2 glider,just purchased one with motor risers called the Dominator?
all that and you didn't show the landing??
!
X country on foot. Not fun for most.
there is no safety in strong winds
What’s your personal wind limit?
