love it , Greg. you make it all look soo easy , I always thought returning to the launch site or facing the slop was a big no-no at low level and with the wind behind you quite dangerous, but you have proved you can do it if your not face on, but approach at an angle to the slope, makes sense now, come in at an angle and turn the wing into the wind when landed ready for re-launch, love your videos, there's not one I've not learned from, keep posting, keep me safe
On a hanglider, we always do it with the wind directly behind us. Here the wind is a few degrees off the hill: th-cam.com/video/ii1D0WMKHeQ/w-d-xo.html
Great skills Greg. However may I say the demo would have been more interesting for me with scenes from the back camera (where your hands and brakes can be seen), in order to see better how you were handling the glider when landing and relaunching (ok, I can guess, but still better to see!).
im assuming the wind is coming up the hill so are you actually landing crosswind ?? ,otherwise you would have to run down the hill which would be tricky cheers mark
Hi Greg, thanks for your video and devotion in helping beginners like me, this helped a lot, and more exercise to practice in my bucketlist :-), would love to have some explanation on butterfly brake vs pumping brakes
Love the instructional videos wether I need them or not. However...I think this one could be slightly flawed in that I think 90% of slope landings are done because people get caught out where the lift has stopped or possibly in sink and you then slope land with a much faster vertical component in the down direction to avoid the dreaded walk up. Here you are using big ears to go down to slope land in light lift. I believe different circumstances that can pose different challenges mainly speed on approach. Now we could argue in a situation of 0 lift, half way up/down slope, a bottom landing is safest. But in reality we all thought the walk up ended after cp completion 😉🤣
Greg, have you seen the x-alps landings Chrigel does facing the slope on a tiny area to zero speed? It seems he uses speed bar and before touch down releases reaching zero speed. Would be amazing to make that analysis. Cheers!
Greg does not mention that the area that he slope lands and takes off from is restricted to hangliders only. The site rules state that P/Gs should not land there, nor inflate canopies, nor take off there, as it is likely that a hanglider may take off higher up or overshoot and a mid-air could occur. Don't follow Greg's example in this video, if there's any chance that a hanglider may be landing (they sometimes arrive there having taken off from distant sites).
Man I would kill for conditions like that right now, love it!

Great video! Love all the tutorials and that you have subtitles for them for any who might need them as well!
Greg, admire your videos. This time you make UK feel like Dune du Pilat. Lovely autumn conditions, in any case, tons of advise, as always. Thumbs up.
Haha nice i came back to my holidaycamp after 6h slope landing workout today and now i watch your video 😅

Ahh.. the joy of a grassy hill. No rocks, boulders, cactus, or mesquite. Lovely!
Thankyou ❤️

nice one
That's a great site. Where is that?
I wish I had a hill like this near me that I could play on
Fantastic way of keeping safe!
is there a blue glider in the tree´s ? 1:22 min
Maybe he should have watched this informative video, could have kept him out of the shrubbery 😆....
I love you're videos! Great as always! Thanks Greg
Where is this slope?
Is it epsilon 9 ?
nope. the epsilon has sheathed main lines. this is most likely a sigma 10 ;)
@@flybubbleparagliding Thanks.
Show
So many of you guys, don't you ever collide?

First lol, no intersting comments so far
