What’s the minimal wind speed that would make sense to go out and practice? I’m looking at spot which offers 1.6 up to 2.5 m/s tomorrow but it takes some time to get there by car from my place.
@@Michal8K8 first of all thanks for the comment. It depends. If its steady wind 2.5 might work. I like it a bit stronger. Also consider if area still have snow. And also have long travel distance. Might just be better saving the hassle for better days. Were is the spot?
@@JoarABTheflyingraven It’s Øvre Vangen in Lærdal, nearby landing area is a nice snow free spot. Yeah it might be better to go there another time. I just can’t wait to start practicing :)
Ref: bgd teampilot group It’s a balance of a little tension in the A lines not enough to lift the glider up about 200-300mm this then pushed the rest of the glider down. Too much brake will lifte the rear edge up. You have to find a balance.
@@JoarABTheflyingraven Thanks. I could do this fine with my other EN-B gliders but have big issues with the Explorer 2. Even though I keep light A pressure, using the rears at all and not even the brakes means the middle jumps up or I get cravats.
@turkeyphant sounds like lightweight? In stronger wind, i try to do checks on my glider, not in the strongest wind area. Then get it when I'm ready. My lightweight seems to have an auto lunch function, too :p
@@JoarABTheflyingraven Yes Explorer 2 is a lightweight. And it does like to launch itself! The problem is I often need to wait for a lull to launch and while waiting it's impossible to keep it on the ground!
Good question. During ground handling you often deal with strong wind. Strong wind equal lots of energy. Its easy to get plucked and dragged. So its for your protection:)

Your assistant did very well in this demonstration! Nice Work!
I will let here know 😀
Thank you.
And thanks for commenting on this video 👌👌
Really great video. Thanks for the explanation of several techniques to kill the glider.
Thanks for the feedback:)
🪂🪂
Thank you so much for this insight!🤗
Found it important for my future start - up motivation for paragliding.
Keep up the good work🎉
Thank you :)
Don't hesitate if you have any questions:)
A perfect introduction to the ground handling basics. Great work :)
Thank you 😊 glad you liked it.

@Michal8K8 love to hear it:D
But maybee save the commitment and energy for better day 😊😊
great tips!!! thanks for sharing
Thank you 🪂🪂
I can't not say this enough, ground handling is so important to have a safe takeoff 🪂😊
Pluss is fun 😃
Fun, safe and a fitnes exercise 😅
@@JoarABTheflyingraven 💪😃
What are your tips for keeping high aspect ratio gliders pinned to the ground (often the centre rises up) and also keeping the tips from folding in?
To be honest, I haven't encountered this problem. That being said, i fly the base 2. High B .
But i will try to ask around and get back to you :)

The little tube that comes with the paraglider is used for ? Please can you make a video about it? Thanks
Thanks for question.
It's for repairs. If you damage the leading edge .
But not quite sure how I should make that video :)
WOW, You have a Nice Place for Ground Handling AR!
Absolutely.
Several places:) thanks

Why wear a helmet is you stay on the ground ?
Good question.
During ground handling you often deal with strong wind.
Strong wind equal lots of energy.
Its easy to get plucked and dragged.
So its for your protection:)
I must take a big poop halfway through this. Sorry guys
Well, i am glad you let it play during your trip to the restroom
