Mike Kung's C&D riser technique makes a lot of sense. My kiting skills really started to improve after watching his videos and adopting his kiting technique. In a strong gust I often clasp my hands together behind the back of my harness while holding on to the C&D risers. I fly and kite gliders that have combined C and D risers, which probably makes it a little easier.
Mmmmm... as seen by the ground speed following launch(s) in almost all clips the wind speed is not close to trim so while 'fresh' its hardly 'High wind' conditions ('25-30kph wind v trim ~38kph) . NB in Scotland for safety we have an absolute prohibition on use of A's & C's (or D's) by RE-training students (who come from all over the world) due to the number of injuries that dangerous practices generates world wide! IF..... pilots insist on sticking with A's & C's I suggest they at least use your DOMINANT HAND on the C's (or D's) and their WEAK hand on the A's (SLIGHTLY less dangerous)
Hi George, the reasons A&C/D generate so many inguries make for a VERY long list... holding a riser set in one hand LOCKS Out Wing Warp control, significantly reducing Roll AND Yaw control, a MAJOR HP&L factor is the human tendency to use the dominate hand on the A's (go) leaving the weak hand on the C's (stop).. it's worth studying the video as many of the SIGNIFICANT Control Reduction issues can be seen here, bottom line is I'm feed up taking A&C pilots to A&E! (accident & emergency)
Murray Hay is clueless. You have to look at the skill level of whom you are talking to before you listen to any of their advice. I'm pretty simple. Just search "world's best paramotor pilot" and every video is of me doing things nobody else on earth can do. Mike Kung is pretty good but there are some specifics that would make it even better. Just look up "extreme paraglider control" and again every video is of me. If you take SUPER training from me directly you will absolutely master glider control very quickly and be able to do things almost no other instructors can even do. Something basic like reverse kiting with no hands almost none out there can even do. Can you? Why not? If you can't reverse kite with no hands on the controls at all then you are missing the most important basics of the sport and are not just doing things wrong but literally backwards to what's correct. So it's important to get all the fundamentals down.
Of course the RELEVANT point in this case is 'high wind' comment in the description when the video clearly shows (by the ground speed INTO WIND) winds well below trim speed... It's hard to imagine any sane person thinking that my pointing out wind speeds lower than actual 'high winds' (in paragliding terms) make someone 'clueless'.... So while 'Super' Dell may chose to insult me and promote his money making activities rather than make a relevant point.... In reply I'd simply suggest when looking at who's advice is good it might also be a GOOD idea to check as to injury & deaths associated with 'Super' in addition to the various legal issues regarding his practices...
Simply AMAZING! Thanks for posting it!
definitely. when you got the skills of these guys it´s really one of the coolest things you can do with a paraglider.
Great skills! Ground handling is a lot of fun!
Great handling.. thanks for sharing.

Very nice :)
It is the Sierra Cortina, close to Benidorm, Spain.
D's & C's? I use A's & C's. Lovely vid. Thanks for sharing.
For pure groundhandling I use an old Airwave Mustang. For flying I use an Aspen2.
I really liked it, nice video, but i think you should use some accelerator pedal when flying backwards near the mountain :) keep up the good work :)
good job
Which glider did you use? Aspen and other one? (I just wondered i know nothing matter with glider. Handling depends pilots skills.)
Hi, where is this place of groundhandling in the second part of video?
nice! pls tell me the song, thank you!
SHOW!!!
With 35 km/h you are flying backwards... 36 km/h = 10 mps. That was hardly 3 mps
Heavy on A's, tad bit of control, light step forward... yeah not 35 km/h at all
