    I decided to take the Mojo Pwr out for round two of collapses, but this time I tried a full frontal and a SAT. Once again, this wing impresses me with its stability and super quick recovery. I just want to reiterate, this is an A rated wing and is inherently very safe. Not all wings will react like this. Up next might be full stalls.

    Good job on "snapping" the collapses! But, those weren't collapses. I'll explain an asymmetric, symmetric is the same, though...:
    1. Grab BOTH A-Risers of one side with your palm facing away from you and the thumb pointing down... The "line lock" should be right at the edge of the pinky finger side of the palm...
    2. Rip it down like you already did in this video! Maybe start slow and add more impulse as you go! Keep your trimmers in the most stable setting, should be slowest setting?
    3. Watch the entire side of the wing collapse! Lean to the opposite side to stop or limit the surging and turning... But your Mojo is super safe anyway, so no need to be scared... :D
    If the leaning away is not sufficient, add a dab of brake on the open side...
    Most importantly: Try BOTH methods! Snap it first, adding impulse each time...
    Next, start holding them down nice and firm and learn to counter steer until you can go perfectly straight!
    Congratulations! You've learned another huge piece of the puzzle that is paragliding! It helps you in many ways! It conditions you to it happening in strong thermals and crucially:
    Should your wing ever fold AND CRAVAT, you just calmly lean and break like you practiced it and you can carefully fly where ever you want and do a landing that's only marginally harder than normally!
    Again, thanks so much for the videos, the motor part of paragliding is completely foreign to me, very interesting! - Lastly: Did you follow the X-Alps? You might enjoy it! Just google red bull x-alps!
    Keep flying high bro! ;)

      The Mojo pwr = Buzz Z4, A Paragliding wing. It's stupid stable and loves Thermals. I wouldn't worry about in air Cravats with a Mojo/Buzz if pulling big ears. I've only experienced them when launching my Buzz which I always put the wing down if it happens. Putting it in the air with a Cravat is just stupid. I've seen Paragliders up on the mtn do it and nearly slam themselves into the ground trying to clear them in flight.

    Capt. Weaksauce was wrong to call you out via video. Your response was absolutely spot on. He had many ways to get you the message if that was his true intention. Instead he polished up his terminator glasses, strapped on his glock, and posed on his motorcycle in what was possibly the most pathetic attempt to generate views in YT history. Keep doing what you're doing.

    Good stuff, the Mojo is a great wing. I've read and seen interviews that talk about how more advanced wings can get stuck in the B-stall and that they have to push a little speed bar to get the wing flying again. It was cool seeing how easy the Mojo PWR recovers from B-stall and collapses. Thanks Tucker!

    The visual green shift at sunset is your eyes changing from Cones (for brighter conditions) to rods for lower light conditions. Painters used to believe it was some sort of mystical experience when they were painting outside. They pay so much attention to light and shadow and color... I've never experienced it myself either

  • @The_Real_Boombox
    @The_Real_Boombox 7 лет назад +41

    I just watched Capt. Kurts video to you Tucker and I have to agree with you on all of your points. You always promotes safety in your videos. I do agree that some of the comments in his video should have been reserved for a private message and not RUclips. While Capt. Kirt may be a pilot with years of experience, its not really tactful to call someone out and say they are going to die. The training is not really "free". When you have to pay for travel and lodging, depending on where you live, that can be more expensive than traditional training, in some cases. Keep making videos Tucker Gott. Your the reason I want to get into the sport. Thank you!!!

My wife and I took training there earlier this year and it was fantastic! I can't say enough good things about the quality of training, emphasis on safety and nicely metered skill progression. The owners and trainers there (Eric, Travis, John, Kyle) are really great guys and made the experience so great for us - unbelievably fun and rewarding! Highly, highly recommend the training there (and I hear training they have in Costa Rica even better than in Lake Wales!)

    Green Flash - seen it once. On the Pacific horizon near sunset whilst driving north to Orange county and home. My gal and I had a wonderful time in Old Town San Diego. I witnessed the phenomena for an instant - pure green light. Happened to turn my head toward the west, never seen it since. Interestingly, I read in the USAF survival manual the Green Flash is used as the 'official' determinator between day and night.

    Love your videos. I'm thinking of getting into this now that I'm retired. For background, I taught myself to hang glide in the 70's, taught myself to fly an ultralight in the 80's and got my private in 1999. Haven't flown now in about 10 years. I'm going to get my glider rating this summer, hopefully, but just love the portability and freedom of foot launch.
    The reason I'm commenting, other than to thank you for your vids, is to mention that I think the airflow lines on your T-shirt are backwards. The lines should be tighter under the wing, indicating higher pressure, and farther apart over the wing, indicating the low pressure area that gives a wing its lift.
    Other than that, keep up the great work. You just might see me up there one of these days.

    • @michaelregish5079
      @michaelregish5079 6 лет назад +1

      I take it back about the lines. Just looked some images up. I think the way the lines are on your shirt are how they look at a high angle of attack, just before the airflow breaks up and the wing stalls.

    I didn’t want to chime in, but I will because Tucker you may peruse these comments more than most and catch mine. I did comment twice before and probably never will again… only because you probably never get to read through them all, and I don’t like writing such heartfelt notes if they may not reach its intended reader. So… if you are reading… Kudos! For your spirit and your always glass half full personality! I haven’t missed a video in a while, I’m jealous of your shared adventures, I joke with my wife and kids that I am going to “try” someday. I get flying… love it… have parachuted, but to “fly like a bird” like you do…. is over the top cool, awesome, surreal and every other cool word I could think of. I get it as do obviously do. I did write once before about a non-need of barrel rolls, wing overs and WOW collapse wing demo’s. I cringed hard with the collapsed wing stuff. I too witness a parachute accident that didn’t end in death… but probably should have. Only luck saved the episode. I say this… cause I luv ya (bro style)… only my two cents. I love every second of your videos. Just show us what you see… no need to test things in flight. Just be beyond safe… not reasonably safe, assuredly safe! No risky biscuits would be my plea to you. String and fabric are not infallible, you know this. As far as Mr. 5/11 pants, auto hung on his side and 2nd amendment promoter goes. I do think he comes from the heart, as I am… You will not lose any views, and the ones you gain with “wing collapse” titles you don’t want anyways. You get me. Hope you read. Hope you keep flying and sharing with me and all of us. Tom from New Hampshire. Mr. Kurt… I am with you… 100%. Thanks for “prodding” Tucker to “think”… and I guarantee you he will.

I don't count the maybes or the unverified seen alone from my flybridge offshore. They were always over water. I can't say if they occur over land.
    Great videos. An old Parasled jumper, I've wanted your rig since the first one I saw. I settled for high hop and pops and long glides back to the DZ.

  • @tubemaxe
    @tubemaxe 7 лет назад +99

    That were no real collapses, the air didn't really 'fetch' on the upper sail so the whole half is snapping in. I would not recommend doing it without holding the brakes, they are the only chance for you to react, you will know when you've pulled a 'real' one. Put the brake of the hand you're pulling with around your wrist, so you don't brake too much. Also when pulling, grab the A-lines from behind with your thumb downwards, so you can pull and twist your hand simultaneously for extra power and distance. For bigger ones try both A-lines of one side and/or go for the speed system.
    The rescue is not a safe thing, there are so many videos where it is fetched by the lines and isn't going to open (even two rescues).
    I think its very dangerous over ground and with a motor (huge twisting danger, and wing loading -> faster going into rotation), better try it freeflight over a lake in a professional SIV-course. Its worth every cent. Nothing is more fun and educational than destroying your wing in safe conditions. It's always good to know before...

    • @DAS-Videos
      @DAS-Videos 7 лет назад +1

      Maybe he should try cutting all the A strings off on one side. Kidding of course, there isn't much reason to do an out of control collapse on purpose.

    • @jerrydelyea5820
      @jerrydelyea5820 7 лет назад

      I think he also the main reason the asymetric looked not right was I think he was not taking the outer a's as well, with split a's you gotta take em all. And tucker, you can hold it in collapse and with a bit of weight shift fly straight. good fun video dude, I am old but not SALTY lol

    • @jerrydelyea5820
      @jerrydelyea5820 7 лет назад

      Also, I used to take the two center a's only and pull them down in a steady motion till the center folded in, then the tips come forward till they touch. It is pretty stable and you can steer with weight shift, but the direction is the opposite of normal.

    • @tubemaxe
      @tubemaxe 7 лет назад +3

      The 'pro' technique is to pull them down with both hands, test pilots sometimes need to do it on very stable wings (Swing Mito RS for example). I think its pretty difficult with the motor because the high load on the A's, but when it snaps it will ampilfy the reaction. Would be interesting what size that wing is and how much it is loaded.
      Front stalls with horseshoe are fun, too, my badly trimmed BGD Base is always getting some out in the wild :D I really should go for a trimm-tuning.
      Tucker: Plesase don't do full stalls without instructor over the lake, they are really fucking unpredictable and dangerous, its just a matter of luck if you don't crash, especially if you don't know what you are doing. You will be overwhelmed for sure, and thats not good when you have a stall, you need to stay cool and concentrated, hold your body under tension and never let the brakes go in the wrong moment. Acro pilots i know say, sou should at least do a couple hundreds over the lake until you can really do it with some safety over ground.

    • @losttownstreet3409
      @losttownstreet3409 7 лет назад +1

      He doesn't really do full stalls or front stalls. He was safe. A front stall is pretty scary if it isn't intended and you may lose pretty much altitude (I got in a downwind). The moyo wing recovers very fast, but some other wings may need a little brake input.
      You are right, there may be a chance of a stable front stall and you may need to do a full stall for exit. Then it gets scary as your wing reaches airspeed of zero and then it may oversoot you pretty fast. Then you may need to break hard at the exact right time (a lillte too late or too early --> catastrophic).
      B-stalls may be prohibited in some manual (rtfm - not ozone/moyo). I think he showed only the basic maneuvers wich you learn for the license and he was nealy ok. (its better to get an instructor for a new wing, as he know how this wing will fly)

  • @JADuppyMan

    • @tubemaxe
      @tubemaxe 7 лет назад +12

      It is an acronym for Safety Acro Team, they invented the SAT. It's a special form of the spiral: In a normal spiral the axis you are spiraling around is a few meters above your canopy, so the radius is quite big. During a SAT the axis of rotation is in between you and your canopy, so the canopy is flying in forward direction but you actually swing backwards, the wind is hitting your back. Really cool trick, and it is the base for many acro-maneuvers like the infinity-loop.

    I watched this video a couple years ago and at that point I had never heard of the green flash. In that time I have become a commercial fisherman and have seen the green flash myself. It’s more of a pulsating green around the sun and it’s gorgeous. It happens in the last 30 seconds or so before the sun disappears. I have only seen it where water meets the horizon. I don’t know if that may be a thing or not.

    So cool. The crazy thing is I'm afraid to fly and I'm afraid of heights BUT I would definitely do this. I feel its the safest thing to fly in the sky. Motor shuts down, no problem just glide it down, if the wing shreds in a million pieces, no problem launch the reserve extra shoot. There is really no way this could go wrong as long as you are not trying anything crazy. Like I would do all smooth rides. No swinging or tilting or doing circles. Just an easy level ride. Can't go wrong unless you literally do something wrong yourself like not put the straps on right. Its nuts though. I could never sky dive or anything but I wouldn't' blink to try this and get into this type of stuff.
