Another day of entertainment Pete. Hope Bob is now fully recovered from his crash. At least he isn’t missing out! Darren cracks me up. Three crashes in two days. Had to be a record! 😂
I like your comment that no matter what your experience level, there's always more to learn. Most of these pilots are fairly low hours, and are picking up lots of real life learning experiences. Staying safe in the process is very important, and the more we can learn the better. Knowing how to land properly and knowing the wind speed/direction are essential skills pilots need. It looks like quite a few of the guys came in downwind with a lot of speed, and didn't stall or scrub off any speed before hitting the deck. Looks like another tutorial video for you, haa. Thanks as always for sharing your experiences with us all, and keeping us as safe as possible.
Another great video instalment to keep me going while grounded! Nasty crash for Bob, glad he’s okay and hope it doesn’t damage his confidence to fly again. Thanks For sharing again Peter. :-)
@@PeterHoldy are you finding it difficult being grounded, it's starting to get very frustrating, especially as now the weather has improved a bit and we are stuck on the ground :-(
Watch your shadow on the ground then do a 180 and watch it again... you can judge your ground speed thus determine wind direction. You were coming in HOT.
Oh... what a day. :/ It's so bad if one gets hurt. Not only the injured person but all people around suffer from it as well. Great to read that Bob does not have any long term problems.
Really true 🙏 all team get effected by that. Half team decided not to fly that day but the other half did manage to fly. I am so happy that everyone had nice holiday and all of them are safe👌 we did our best to keep it that way but sometimes you can not predict what will happens. That is life.
@@PeterHoldy flown that site myself quite a few times and when it's thermic that landing field can be interesting anyway nice video maybe see you on the hill
@@neoviper100 yes that true, and that landing has those Power lines which can be scary for some people😉 really lovely flying site 👍 take care , stay safe !
Darren can't you speak without cursing?! :-) There is a scary side to paragliding without doubt. I hope Bob survived his crash landing without serious injury. The upsides of the sport are so enticing, to be able to take to the sky like a bird with such freedom and beauty all around you, I can see how thrilling it is! Thank you for posting Peter with best wishes.
Thank you 🙏i quiet like Darren cursing 😂 Darren is really nice guy and person ! I know some people can be offended by that. I like Darren way, he doest it in funny way. 🤪 Everyone is different and that make us unique 👍
love your videos peter, but mabe theese guys need a little bit more of ground handling, they can't miss every single land....they are not safe flying in this way.
I know people who flying for many years and they are not good pilots. Few of our guys was less experience bud on end of the trip they progress really quickly. I just put best moments from flying so it may looks like they was not that good. But really is different. I am proud of all of them. They done good job 🙏
So you say you are going to be at the landing to guide people down. But you are not on the ground when they land/crash and you don't even recognize your pilots when they are flying. All of the bad landings could have been avoided with some help from you. It's just luck that no one else but Bob got injured.
Jules and Bob are fully qualified pilots. They fly on they own responsibilities and they are pilots in Commands. We always guided our 3 students safe down. But you can not guide someone whole life. Many times on training hills i was guiding guys down and they still crash. They told me that they heard everything i said but they in some reason don't follows my instruction. People sometimes freeze. Maybe it looks bad on video as you can not see whole picture. We are humans and we all make mistakes, no mathers how PRO you are ! Thank you for watching 👌
I'll admit I didn't know who's a pilot and who's a student. The two guys crashing at the landing site looked like they needed some guiding but perhaps they should be able to land safely on their own. That small landing site is however quite tricky and I've seen A LOT of crashes and bad landings there. In retrospect maybe you should have made a more extensive briefing, called out wind direction on the radio or be prepared to guide down people the first few times the landed there if you saw them doing something wrong? Accidents can of course happen anyway.
@@PontusEgnell Thank you, as you can see this is day 4 so everyone has briefing 4 times minimum. You can see on my first day that guide from Zero gravity Luisma is shoving us all landing options and all types of approaches. Jules landed 10 times on same landing area with no problem but on landing 11 he crashed and i caught it on camera. Trying to show people that you can make simple mistakes like do not check wind direction and that can bring you in to the big troubles. Many people just see 5% what was actually going on and they telling my that i should not be , instructor, coach because my people crashing on this trip. But if they will see background and how much responsibilities and hard work it was too keep 10 people happy and safe , then i believe everyone will change mind. I am not perfect, learning every day and doing my best to be one of the best instructors out there! Many people showing on social media how good they are , but no one showing your not good site. I know people will be putting comments like yours, but anyway i still posted my videos as i want to help others. As i believe when people see crashes and explanation why it happens so they can learn from it and hope they will stay safe in similar conditions. Cheers for watching 🙏 take care , stay safe !👍
I using second hand" flytec 6015" gps vario. If you learning just buy really simple and cheap vario. Then when you will do XC then buy GPS. Or if you want spend money then any you like 👍
@@PeterHoldy Peter, mobile phones have GPS and sound, etc, is it feasible to use a modern Android phone with an app as a vario device? For instance: FlyMe flight instrument for Android optimized for paragliding?
@@barrywebber100 yes you can use your mobil phone with Android or IOS. On market you will find bluetooth varios which you can connect to the phone. Or you can use just Phone , barometer , gps buid in. There are just 2 down sites. 1 sometimes you can not read from phone display any info as you flying in sun/ bright environment. 2 battery life of your phone will go down really quickly. You can prob. log 1h flying time. You can buy battery pack/power bank. I preferring simple instruments which will last for hours and hours with out thinking my phone will die and i won't be able to call anyone when i will get in to the troubles. I flying now around 4 years and only using simple instruments.
A little bit less off showing off mate and you'll be a better TH-camr. I watch your videos a lot, I really like you, but sometimes your comments are over the hill. Don't try so hard to impress people, just be natural, like at the beginning of your paragliding and youtube career. Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, I am a big of yours, but I think I liked you more in the past.
to the cockney sounding guy, seems like your harness is too wide....check the settings
Haha. Darren is mastering those crash landings!!! Sketchy!!! Fly safe guys. Great videos Peter.
Thank you 😄 Darren use to English windies landing 😉
Another day of entertainment Pete. Hope Bob is now fully recovered from his crash. At least he isn’t missing out!
Darren cracks me up. Three crashes in two days. Had to be a record! 😂
Cheers Steve, yes Darren always making me laugh. He is really nice guy and strong character.
Good job video
Thank you

Thank you so much learning with me/ us guys 🙏 I always learning something new. The more i learn, the more I realize how much I don't know 🤪
Another great video instalment to keep me going while grounded! Nasty crash for Bob, glad he’s okay and hope it doesn’t damage his confidence to fly again. Thanks For sharing again Peter. :-)
I hoping that Bob will fly again. But now we are all grounded 😔
@@PeterHoldy are you finding it difficult being grounded, it's starting to get very frustrating, especially as now the weather has improved a bit and we are stuck on the ground :-(
@@andrewcummings7822 yes getting mad 👍 hope that won't take too long 🙏 still working on my videos so that will keep me bit busy.
Glad you are ok Bob....
Oh man Darren is such a legend :D "Darren are you OK?... Yeah brand new!". Awesome Video Peter - thanks for the entertainment. Hire Darren ;)
😂🤣Darren is legend ! Love that guys. When he talks , his stories are so entertaining 🙏 hope i will fly with him often 😉👍 Thank you for watching!
Watch your shadow on the ground then do a 180 and watch it again... you can judge your ground speed thus determine wind direction. You were coming in HOT.
Good explanation 👌Thank you for your comment 🙏
Darren is awesome!
Yes he is 👌
👍👍👍 stay safe out there
👌👍
Peter be safe another great video bro Fly Baby Fly.
Thank you, and you stay safe too !
Nothing like watching newguys stacking. Sad about the injury tho, hope he's ok.
Yes Bob is OK. Hope he will return to PG ! He is really good guy, he was just wrong time on wrong place .
@@PeterHoldy Fingers crossed and wishing him speedy recovery.
Oh... what a day. :/ It's so bad if one gets hurt. Not only the injured person but all people around suffer from it as well. Great to read that Bob does not have any long term problems.

i think darren needs to work on his landings but as they say any landing you walk away from is a good one
I think he is lazy put his legs out from seat. That is his main problem 👍 yes any landing you walk away is good landing 👌😉
@@PeterHoldy flown that site myself quite a few times and when it's thermic that landing field can be interesting anyway nice video maybe see you on the hill
@@neoviper100 yes that true, and that landing has those Power lines which can be scary for some people😉 really lovely flying site 👍 take care , stay safe !
Bob👍

There is a scary side to paragliding without doubt.
I hope Bob survived his crash landing without serious injury.
The upsides of the sport are so enticing, to be able to take to the sky like a bird with such freedom and beauty all around you, I can see how thrilling it is!

Based on this video I would not send new pilots your way
What's his mistake in your opinion?
Same here 😂 do not know why they coming to fly with me 🤷♂️ 🤪
not very good landing! but nice video
Thank you 🤪
