Asymmetric Spiral Dive Slow-Mo

- An asymmetric spiral dive is a basic acrobatic maneuver in paragliding. Part of each rotation is spent steepening the dive, and the other part is spent recovering from the dive with opposite brake input and weight shift. Each time the dive is re-entered, the wing can go quite low below the horizon, and the pilot is briefly above the wing, which I find quite exciting. During this time there is enough centrifugal force from the rotation to keep the suspension lines tight, and therefore the wing stays inflated (always a desirable thing.)
I shot this video with a GoPro Hero3 Black at 100 frames per second so that I could slow it down and inspect my timing on the controls... still trying to perfect that.
The wing is an Ozone Slalom 19, a rather small and speedy wing. Everything happens quite quickly as is apparent in the actual-speed part of the video.
Slow motion was beautiful. Actual speed was more chaotic. Lost a lot of altitude fast. What was the groaning sound in the background? Wind through the lines? Hope all is well. Keep Flying.
