Thank you, I just started PG and your advice is really helpful. Just mentioning the venturi effect is a point to remember, especially when you start soaring on a beach with just little dunes (max. height approx. 20-30ft.). Fly safe, best wishes from the north coast of a tiny little Island....
What a cool flying spot! Have been to the White Horse years ago, but as a student I couldn't afford to continue flying. Nowadays, already been flying over castle Neu Schwanstein flying at the white horse would be a nice project
Hi Greg, I've learnt a lot from your videos, but half of the places where I've flown are much smaller than that field, we've been told to approach the LZ in a similar fashion, but using the brake on the side of the LZ while having the body weight a bit to the opposite side in case of needing to abort the landing. Another big thing, but I guess that deserves a dedicated chapter. Cheers!
yeah Luis that can work, although it compromises your agility as you're turning left and right at the same time - I do sometimes use that to 'sneak' a little into an area I don't want to commit to (coming in close to a crosswind rocky ridge). Landing setups are certainly another chapter (coming to your favourite youtube channel some time...). The right setup depends on the wind and terrain, so there's no hard rule. If the wind is strong enough, I prefer to 'back into' a narrow strip lined up with the wind, rather than come from the side where I might end up in the trees if I hit the inevitable low turbulence.
@@greghamerton4422 it was my understanding if you weight shift left and steer to the right it is very easy to wind up with a twisted set of lines. Would it be safe to assume that you can get by with weight shift left and steer to the right if you have enough forward velocity?
Ive recently stumbled across these Flybubble vids, Greg is brilliant at explaining in detail the things you should look out for, thankyou for sharing this information, i cant stop watching these vids!
dropping the wing to the side of you not directly behind is a great tip for venturi areas. while keeping level brake pressure during the landing! thanks for sharing
thanks for this lot o options... i think that is vital for a pilot understand what is happening and you show this in very clear way... most of the people don't see the venturi effect or worst don't understand that the wind speed will increase due compression effect... thanks for sharing... aways awesome
Good thing you are not promoting the ‘stall/release’ way of getting down. I’ve seen it going wrong too many times. But my question is: at the last Thermikmesse there was a presentation about controlling your glide path by simultaneously using speed and brakes. Kind of like using flaps on the commercial airplanes. Any thoughts?
if you rub the right edge of the carabiner with a piece of lead and the left side with a handful of 4mm countersunk standard thread screws it generates an unquestionably dubious magnetic field which the compass becomes trapped by. Or maybe it was a little piece of paraglider line fed through the casing... can't be sure.
are there any techniques like speedflapping (didn't quite work for me last time) if you are in strong lift and wanna topland? i wanna try toplanding the first time while soaring but i never managed to get to the ground before being lifted again..... and the spaces i've got are not very huge like your field so i can't aproach from the back and so on
yes, but you lose a lot of the steering control by doing that so you need to set it up on a straight line approach. Take care not to cause a parachutal stall, use smallish ears and consider adding half speed bar.
It's the sound from a variometer, which gives audible tones that correspond to when the altimeter detects when you are climbing or descending. The higher notes of 'bip bip' indicate that you are climbing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variometer

@@seezammm Your English is fine when you asked the question. It is probably the same as how a native speaker would ask. The UK is a country, by the way.
Look at how Ur carabiner is positionned at 2:54..... that's not good...Carabiners are not designed to provide maximum resistance with loops in the corner
Carabiner looks fine IMO. It is an axial loading which is along the spine. Cross loading (across the gate or 'horizontally' would be bad news as they only can take about 7kN whereas axially they can take 24+kN (at least climbing carabiners can and I assume these are similar)

Greg, thank you for your videos, as a new pilot these are extremely useful
I am impressed with how skillfully, and with clear explanations, you managed landing with alternate approaches. Awesome. Thank you.

The bit where you run around the wing. That was my "I get it now" moment. Thanks, Greg
Greg, you are great! Thanks for all these really interesting videos
so beautifully filmed...so true to the experience...I'm leaning and braking in my lounge seat. Awesome work thanks for the class.

Thank you very much for sharing this useful information 👍
Love the learning
Got the feels for this sport
Looking forward to being able to see the sky really soon when I completed the course
Thanks heaps

I'm new to this sports and ive learned alot of techniques and tips from your videos . Good work!!

thanks for sharing
I could watch another 10 of these! greater perspective, thanks!
Muy buen video. Saludos desde Argentina
Thank you for the tips. I paramotor but it looks like the same tricks can be applied to us.

Thank you flybubble the life U-Save Maybe mine
Very interesting and educational video, thanks!
Thanks for sharing video. Very helpful. Thank you very much again.
Very Beautifull Spot, where are you ? Thx
My favorite is the #3 its more peaceful
Thanks so much for posting! Cheers!
Great vid learnt a lot, thank you
Hi, loved the compass. How did you manage to attach it to the carabiner?
if you rub the right edge of the carabiner with a piece of lead and the left side with a handful of 4mm countersunk standard thread screws it generates an unquestionably dubious magnetic field which the compass becomes trapped by. Or maybe it was a little piece of paraglider line fed through the casing... can't be sure.
Dubious mag fields sounds scary. You should be careful with those.
Will stick with the paraglider line for a while.
Very late I know, but he sells it here: flybubble.com/pin-on-mini-ball-compass
are there any techniques like speedflapping (didn't quite work for me last time) if you are in strong lift and wanna topland?
i wanna try toplanding the first time while soaring but i never managed to get to the ground before being lifted again.....
and the spaces i've got are not very huge like your field so i can't aproach from the back and so on
Is the buzzy thing an audible altimiter?
Yes, and is known as a variometer.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variometer
Nice video Greg.
Super vidéo. Dommage pour la musique qui casse les oreilles et reste dans la tête 🤕
Благодарю
music ?
How old do I have to be to paramotor
#bikelife :Tutorials if you can run for a short distance you are good I'd say, just get training
Hi Greg. Would it be possible to use a bit of 'Big Ears', to counter act the lift, if there's too much lift where you want to land?
yes, but you lose a lot of the steering control by doing that so you need to set it up on a straight line approach. Take care not to cause a parachutal stall, use smallish ears and consider adding half speed bar.
What is bip bip voice in video.. i heard in lots of paradliding video.
It's the sound from a variometer, which gives audible tones that correspond to when the altimeter detects when you are climbing or descending. The higher notes of 'bip bip' indicate that you are climbing.

For some reason thus video won't work.. very sad times

What country is it?
South of london, UK.
The UK isn't a Country, this is England!
Sorry for my English, is very poor. How I can say correct about UK, what correct name of this subject?
