Learn to do wingovers just using weight shift - do hard weight shift at the beginning of the way down, no braking. Only use the inside brake to align the wing in the direction of travel after the top of the turn.
I was so confused at the reversing of the video... "wtf is his wing doing" Good video though, glad to have resources like this to consult when beginning to experiment with wingovers!
Inside collapse on the wing can become pretty ugly Never forget to only pull the break for the next wingover when you have enough speed - so rather too early than too late Outside collapse of the wing is normally pretty harmless and due to not enough external break Just before the low point of the pendulum ->Speed - >break Past the low point - no speed - > no break
I‘m actually also practicing Wingovers and it happens also to me sometimes when I underestimate to brake and stabilize the other side…. So keep on training bro…. Cool 😎
Had plenty of those moments lol. Its funny, I could tell which one it was going to be before you even turned in again. just a little too late on the timing.
Wingovers are the best way to learn 3 axis control. U will get to understand the wing and its need to be actively flown. We most of us have done worse. U had lots of height and nice air.. stay safe bro
Thanks for sharing! Since this video is rather old I assume you've mastered wingovers fine by now:D Anyway I want to comment on the way you're holding your brakes. Always hold the brakes by the brak - knot. Either half wrap or going trough the brake toggle. It drastically improves your control over the glider!
Hi :) Happy to share :) thanks for the advice. Today my wingovers are much better ;) I also hold the brakes from the knot (and fly with gloves. The day on the video is not my sharpest :) ).
Paragliding is not hang gliding. These manoeuvres run the risk of canopy collapse. The only reason why paragliding became a sky sport is that you can put your rig inside your car with no need of a roof rack.
I believe it helped. The theory is that pulling on the brakes in that time helped pushing air from the trailing edge to the leading edge and so making it firmer and more collapse resistant, for a moment. The truth is that at the moment it was more of an instinct, as I often respond to loss of pressure in the wing.
I agree I started the last wingover too late. Being high over the wing is ok if you have enough energy. Because I started late I didn't have enough to complete the maneuver and fell near the lines.
Why all the thumbs down? This is how we learn. We share our mistakes. Thank you YiftachProd!
specilly with wingovers you actually need to f up to feel it and learn.
absolutly right!!

Bad? That was nothing.
sh*t happened... nothing that this pushed me to put it here... had many much worse moments, by spring strong thermals in Italy, for instance.

@@irayifa I was just thinking about telling you to hold your Brakes differently and wear gloves - but - you learned it already! :-)
Shalom, nice vid. what caused this in your opinion? not enough brake? Also, is that one of the older Mentors? Glad it didnt end up worse.
Thanks :)
This is a Mentor 2.
I entered the last wing over too late, which resulted in not enough energy, ending with me falling near the wing.
Too late on last break input, breaked late
Yep.

Slack lines=collapse and a near full frontal tuck.
Yep.
CUT THE BABY PEEPEE LMAO
So you were able to avoid it from being a full collapse by pulling pressure as it collapsed?
I believe it helped.

The truth is that at the moment it was more of an instinct, as I often respond to loss of pressure in the wing.
So I think that was from starting the wingover too late. Which put you too high over your wing. Am I right?
