Paragliding: Hike & Fly... with a special landing
Hiking and flying is a beautiful combination that often leads to new opportunities for growth as a paragliding pilot.
There were enough thermals around to allow me continue flying, but this time I decided to go for the challenge of landing in a tricky spot.
There were some wind gusts in front of the cabin and some strong thermal generating rocks + a (bonus) precipice behind it, so I had to adapt the landing approach and avoid any potential turbulences… and it paid off.
This type of challenges are part of a pilot’s continuous training and practice is the key for evolution.
Be open to learn something new every day, follow your passion, stay curious… and enjoy life! 🪂🤗☀️

Exploring new mountain trails on an EUC
Просмотров 944 месяца назад
This was our first descend on a bike trail on EUCs. We chose to go in the early morning in order to avoid bikers while testing the trail for the first time. We knew this would increase the chances of wildlife encounters, but still were surprised to hear a bear cub very close to our path. After successfully avoiding to meet his mother, we encountered a few very fresh 🐻💩 directly on the bike trai...

Massive frontal asymmetric collapse in spring thermals
Просмотров 16 тыс.7 месяцев назад
Spring thermals can be challenging, especially after the winter months with less exercise of flying in thermal activity. Here is a collapse I'm happy to have recovered from at the beginning of March 2024. The video contains a wide angle view of the incident in real-time, at 1/2 and 1/3 speed. Sure I could have handled it better, so feel free to provide improvement suggestions in the comments. T...

A video summary of the competition's third task. Today started off with lots of promise with tantalising beautiful blue skies. A 70km task taking the pilots on a triangular tour north of Sacele was set. It gave the field an option of taking the flats or the hills. With most of the pilots managing to break through the inversion just in time for the start the main gaggle went for the hills with a...

A video summary of the competition's second task. The optimal start point was about 4km in front of the foothills, over the shopping mall on the outskirts of Brasov. There was a huge cloud where everyone went to wait for the start to open. The plan was to take the start at 2100m, but the huge cloud died and eventually it turned into survival mode, because the foothills were too far away, with j...
Paragliding World Cup - Task 1 - Brasov, Romania

A video summary of the competition's first task. The route was a zigzag task northeast with the optimal route combining flats and mountains. The foothills were stronger with better clouds. The pilots who chose this route weren’t pushing into wind with every single glide, instead it was a bit cross wind. It was further, but faster and allowed the pilots who took this route to get higher. ► RACE ...

This event is an old custom passed on by generations. It was initiated by the first inhabitants of Brasov, which settled in the old neighborhood called Schei, in the 14th century. Although it was first mentioned in a document dating back to 1728, there are still some historians who claim that the tradition is even older, dating back to the land of Dacia.
“Honey, I’m flying home!“ 🏔🪂🏡 - Paragliding over Brasov

Since I learned to fly, I tried to find landing spots as close to home as possible… and it worked for all the places I have lived in the past. For my current home this task is quite challenging because it is located on a steep hill, close to the historic centre of our town. This weekend it finally happened: I managed to land on the top of the hill behind our house after soaring above the splend...

the songs man 😆if its intentional its funny
great attempt though, with the music I mean.. :)
reminds me of "Goodbye MOoon Maaaann"
Bravo, man, foarte bine ai rezolvat aterizarea. Aplauzele sunt întotdeauna cireașa de pe tort. ;)
Mulțam fain, man! Da, a fost chiar simpatică reacția publicului. Pentru un moment am avut senzația că am aterizat cu avionul nu cu parapanta 😄
Beautiful!
The feeling of fully viewing this natural scenery is great, isn't it! I also want to touch the sky this way! Wishing you good health to continue to have interesting experiences! 🥰
Mersul fără cască e mai periculos decât ursul ;) Altfel, fain de tot! :)

Me: Should I start hanggliding or paragliding? - Okay, I should start hanggliding
Looks so similar to collapses I've had on the Rush 6. I've found there's a middle "dead zone" where you take the reflex out of the wing but don't have enough brake on to stop it from surging. Exactly how your hands and the trailing edge look at 0:33. I am convinced these newer high B 3/2 hybrids need to be flown more like 2 liners. That the old 3-5 pounds of contact pressure is obsolete and you need to be either all the way hands up flying on the rear riser controls letting the reflex protect you, or significantly deeper and affirmatively in the brakes during maneuvers. That if you are in the middle at "contact pressure" you will just get collapse after collapse. But nobody seems to be teaching this on the 3/2 liners. I watched some videos on how to fly the two liners and started flying my rush that way and haven't had a collapse since. Nice recovery!
did the martenitsa help the recovery?
Good, video, but horrible response to the collapse. 1 take a wrap, you would have felt that coming. 2 When it did happen all you had to do was go hands up and it would have flown out on its own.. 3. All that crazy spinning was a result of you trying to pull your body back upright using the brakes. If you're falling left, DO NOT try to pull yourself back to level with the left brake. It ain't going to work.
And general always forgot: It is probably an EN-B- Paraglider with typical not a very hard wing, therefore not a real possibility of precise steering and(!) a velocity where also week down winds from turbulences can cause a negative angle bigger than the normal fixed pitch-angle. That negative angle is build from the tangens of the vertical down wash wind velocity divided thru the not very high horizontal velocity of all the paraglider whithin EN-A...High B. At EN-C this effect decreases and at EN-D you will find very less till no collapses also if you use the speed bar. BUT(!!) you have to stabilise that wing with very automatical reactions trained in about 80..120 h airtime per year. And that costs not only a lot of time also money. - Since 3 years I fly a low EN-D (UP Meru) I got no(!) collapses. Those are my experences!
Pff la musique ....
Brake the movement of the wing, not the position (that's why it stalled after the dive).
yeah, people dont understant it's the wing how fly, not them, you have to let her fly even if u feel u are falling, just control the direction
💪 Good solved
you did a lot of things wrong maybe you should consider a lower wing. also wrap your brakes and put your pointfinger on the brakeline especially in bumpy air.
Thx for posting the video. I am glad you come out of this unhurt. I know its hard t hear but your reactions were not appropriate, especially the part where you are supposed to let the wing fly is hard to watch (the initial reaction is VERY hard to train, because its mostly instinctive). You stalled the glider twice, almost twisted yourself. Have you done SIV? Its best to learn and make reactions automatic in controlled environment...
Great save, good job, I'm wondering how these collapses will proceed in cocon harness. I just started flying with cocon harness and I am pretty worried about collapses 'cos I can feel less stability now.
Maybe the day will come when you think "this was life" for a brief moment.
Nice video and edit ! Thanks for sharing As some said, make a wrap with your brakes Maybe take wing with a lower aspect ratio ( maybe it's an EN-A already but the video flattens it, although it wouldn't have shot forward that much) If you don't think you know what you're doing, just let the wing fly Take care
no creo que sea una A
how dangerous is such situation?
On it's own at that height, more scary than dangerous. If he had more active control on the brakes he may have mitigated it, that's why everyone is telling him to "take a wrap/half wrap" meaning to wrap the brake lines around his hand next time. This makes them shorter and puts more tension on them so you feel a whole lot more response from the wing. But as you can see he corrected by letting go of the brakes completely and then recovering as the wing started to twist. The worst possibility is that it can cause a panicked mistake which can have fatal consequences.
Thanks for posting this to learn from Anton. There's a small dive preceding the frontal that was an opportunity to prevent the frontal occuring. After that with the frontal developing as big an input as you can on both brakes would have shortened the incident. Here, having a half wrap can help. At 52s as the wing is recovering in the dive you have quite a bit of left brake on. This then causes the glider to stall on the left side and enter a spin. The danger here is that the rotation in the spin can cause a twist. You then swing through as the glider is overhead which has dissipated the energy of the original collapse and your hands are up enough to allow the glider to recover normal flight. Have a look at this similar frontal and the debrief from Malin Lobb, SIV instructor.... m.ruclips.net/video/0wLBIq3-1rM/видео.html&pp=ygUkUmljaGFyZCBtZWVrIG1hbGluIGxvYmJ5IHBhcmFnbGlkaW5n Happy Flying
I should say, some of the advice in the video I posted is comp wing specific but most of it is good for any class of wing. Nice I Will Survive cover. It makes it sound like a Bond Movie theme song.
I was alway told on a full frontal hands up or you risk generating the whip effect. This was from an Ozone test pilot?
Here's Russ Ogden on frontals. Watch from about 8 mins to 10 mins. I've not heard of the phrase "the whip effect". What does it describe?
m.ruclips.net/video/_YVbdaLc1jk/видео.html&pp=ygUQb3pvbmUgdGVzdCBwaWxvdA%3D%3D
Hey bud, yep it was from Russ Ogden who I got the info on full frontals. Its was explained that if you pump brake on a full frontal the wing will come behind and then when you release will whip forward and prob cause a wrap around you as it carries so much energy. Apparently it's how you set up an infinity tumble, not an acre pilot so not sure. I will did the video out. @@vikingforties
You need some sirious Active Piloting/SIV under the super vision of a good Instructor, and I assume this Aspect Ratio is too much for you, despite the EN certification.
What wing is it?
I have a lot of respect for all people who have filmed their incident and share it with the greater community. Thank you!
just pure luck, in all reactions too late.
RETTER RETTER! 😄
As some already wrote, I think you need to get a better feeling on the Brakes. So having The knot between thumb and Finger half wrapped is best way to go in thermaling. Could you tell which Glider you are on?
It is easy to sit in the sofa and comment of what other should have done, but: Releasing the left brake the same time as the glider dives did not help, rather the opposite. You should have kept the left hand down 1-2 seconds more. That said; I would probably not have done better in the air myself, in real time. Thanks for posting, we can all learn something from it!
Anton I recommend you flying with half wrap. You're flying with the toggles in your hand, they act very often like a spring in-between your hands and the trailing edge. Most of the active piloting starts with feeling what happens. Some visually.. So you want to basically grab the brake knot. So you can either manage that by going trough the toggle or half wrapping. I definitely recommend half wrapping the toggle because you can get your hands away from the toggles for your rescue during all times!
Good job on preventing the twist! The good learning is at 35 seconds on any thermal condition it’s a must to keep your canopy above your head look at the leading edge rushing into the thermal you only need authority on the brakes and don’t be shy in this cases check the shoot ,weigh shift into the core and enjoy the ride 🤙🏼 Wishing you a collapse free season full of PB ❤
Bro take a wrap, you might have felt the lack of pressure. Don't fight it, hands up will do. Awesome video though.
So wild! I'm glad you handled it so well! What caused the collapse?
just normal turbulence
Turbulence and not enough active piloting
Noice! I liked the Yin and Yang visual effect from the beginning ;) Liked and subscribed!
Amazing
I love this movie❤
Amazing views! Thanks for sharing!

Supper nice video summery!
Nice, but I wish it could be updated to 2020.
Minunat Toni, traseul inițiatic și răsplata. :) Dar (există mereu un dar...) nu înțeleg cum ai făcut bicicleta-armăsar să vină singură. Ce truc (scuze, vrajă) o fi acesta? Sper că nu e doar digitală. Să vedem, aștept un răspuns din tolba cu comori.
În general calul meu e foarte receptiv, mai ales dacă știe că-l așteaptă o tavă cu jăratic 😉 însă de această dată am lasat să acționeze "magia" atracției gravitaționale. Am filmat scenele pe un plan înclinat, alegând bine unghiul de încadrare și... am inversat timpul la montaj. N-am recurs la efecte speciale pentru un filmuleț izvorât spontan din bucuria reîntâlnirii cu natura. :)
O surpriză plăcută. Mulțumim frumos.
Doar ieri am aflat draga Sorine ca te-ai decis sa colinzi raiul. Deci sa nu fim tristi ca ai plecat, dar fericiti ca te-am avut. Pe curind si la REVEDERE ! Cu drag, Waffy. P.S. Zcuza-ma ca nu am scris corect romaneste dar am o tastatura germana, si pe de alta parte nu am fost prea bun la limba Romana...precum stii.
O familie atat de minunata ... Dumnezeu sa-l odihneasca pe domnul profesor iar pe cei ramasi sa-i intareasca si sa-i mangaie...
Am fost unul dintre norocosii oameni caruia i-a fost profesor. Din pacate n-am apucat sa ajung la colinzi sau pe creste cu el...Un om mare!
dumnezeu sa il odihneasca pe domnu diriginte...acolo und sa dus.azi am aflat vestea la milano....nu am cuvinte....dumnezeu sa il odihneasca.
Nu avem decât lacrimi mici pentru un suflet atât de mare. Dumnezeu să-l odihnească în Raiul său, spre care ne-a învățat să colindăm!
sunt socata nu stiam ca domnul diriginte a murit ,alaturi de el l-am cunoscut pe Eliade cu el am pictat liceul,ramas bun
Imensa pierdere ! De ce? de ce ? de ce ? De ce a trebuit sa ne paraseasca ? O sa ne lipseasca colindele din Piata Sfatului ! A facut lucruri minunate ! Nu mai am cuvinte sa-mi exprim regretele...
Mai Toni, mi-ai rupt inima. mi s-o facut un dor de el de ma sfasie....
