Like how you showed the parasailing and stated the difference. So many times when I say I paraglide people think it’s parasailing, I’m like no, they just get towed behind a boat, we actually pilot the wing.
Plus, regarding the parasailing vs Paragliding differences: The driver of the boat in most cases is required to have no training at all, also if something goes wrong, the probability of you being slammed into the water is increased dramatically, and if no one on the boat is watching, you could get dragged through the water. I am a paraglider pilot, and I would never consider parasailing for the reasons I just mentioned. Especially in Mexico!
Watching from Japan, very nice summaries! I find it interesting that many pilots seem to let go of and re-grab the brakes during a reverse launch, when pivoting. I do that for fun when kiting, but have never dared do that at take-off! Overall it's fun to see that with a few exceptions, we're like albatrosses - graceful in the air, but clumsy on the ground!
Thanks! I'm guessing that some have learned re-grab technique on 90's or something and teach same thing to their students also. New pilots: A-C/Mitsos' reverse inflation is the way to go nowadays, having brakes in correct hands from the get-go.
@@nkronert I mean it is a great place to really learn to fly when you have some experience, not as a complete beginner. There is this 25 km 1000m high ridge with a cloudbase at 12-1600m it is a challenging task to get back and forth and very useful training for all sorts of other places. You always have to have a landing A, B, C in sight as sort of the space you have between the ground and the clouds is fairly limited. I have flown here for 10 years and now live here and have not yet had any bad accidents.
Really nice footage. Really enjoyed watching it during the rainy and cold weather here in Germany. BTW, which Camera do you use for recording the ground footage. Thanx!
So you're landing out to sea and if you screw up your landing you're going swimming/drowning? Or is the landing zone larger than it appears in the video?
@@nkronert I mean you would think people most overshoot it, but i think it is like a 100 to 1 ratio of people in cactus vs people in the ocean. There is a stone wall too at the end of the beach that sometimes people smash into. Not that often..
"Are you sure you're a pilot?"😁
Some of them definitely need to know about wing loading... 🙃
Tanks for sharing!

Love the x-mas three in Ifonche - wars there 2021 too
Very nice edit (video, sound, music etc.), thank you !
Really enjoyed watching this it looks a beautiful place to fly n really good production dude 👍

Just at the moment where you may need the brakes the most...
It is an awesome place to learn. Unforgiving with limited landing places.
@@arvidberg1530 Sounds ideal for beginners 😉

Glad you liked it. Sony A7C with 28-200mm lens.
Wow!!! This is incredible!!! Great!!!! Cool! I like it so much and subscribed! see you..
Checked and subscribed your channel also!
Watching from Germany. 🥶
Cheers mate, how cold is it there?
-6c today in Finland, which is quite warm as week ago it was -20c. 🙃

Mia got better everyday! 🙂
Can never understand this fumbling for the breaks when turning to launch. WHY
Nice video. I was wondering, when were the flights of the video ? Were them in december ?
Thanks mate. This #2 episode is filmed 8.12.2021. All episodes of the series are filmed on 5 - 11.12.2021.
Great Video but some real bad take off´s!

It is bigger than it looks. Usually nobody goes in the water. There is a cactus field just before it that many many many people have landed in.
@@arvidberg1530 A cactus field. Sounds much better already! 🌵😂

I only left 1 month ago, already miss it!
Better to miss than be bored with it! 🙃
What is the name of this place
Ifonche, if you mean the mountain launch. Description has also the names. 😉
It seems God created a place where even idiots can't hurt themselves.
Shitty take off 😱
There were some very poor launch techniques in this one. Holy
Popularity of ground handling practicing definitely shows in the launch, or the lack of it! 😅
You should see some of the other compilations on TH-cam.
