I'm not saying you have to make 7 second thermaling turns ... just showing you it's possible, when needed!
Good advice for relatively new pilots, scared of strong bumpy thermals: just turn tighter instead of running away. Less likely to be stumbling in to the bumpy edges of the thermal, less likely to loose the thermal, and more G loaded wing will be more stable and feel more comfortable.
Very helpfull👍👍👍Thanks
if you can heli in a thermal does that count?
I sure learned a lot from you. I believe you may have preemptively saved my life
Not me I'm never doing this....uz rbrace
Me: does literally anything
Greg: you wanna change that
I'm a paraplegic and just started trike paragliding. Stoked!!
Your bravery is really what makes you fly!
Stay elevated stay safe. You are inspiration to anyone who wants to fly. Kick ass bro much love👊
@@kylewolfman thanks I really appreciate your comments🙏
Hell yeah dude!
Thats amazing! I'm just getting into this sport, I am so excited to begin my flying journey! Hope yours has been going great so far! Remeber skys the limit brotha 🤙🏼
Been flying for many years now and still learning, never can learn enough.
This is the best compressed tips I’ve seen for paragliding! Great to see the mistakes and what to do correctly
Whatever you're doing... you want to change that!! Thanks for the video Greg
Loving these videos Greg as a student doing CP at the moment these tips are like finding nuggets of gold in a mountain of often confusing and conflicting advice - keep up the amazing work 👍👍👍
Great to hear! Go easy on those tight turns in the beginning, you'll give your instructor grey hair! It's just something to work towards...
@@FlyWithGreg - will do - Paddy has enough grey as it is 😉😉. Not much flying at the moment here on our tropical paradise that is the Isle of Wight - hopefully some high(er) pressure heading our way soon 🤞🤞🤞
I like the way you explain your way of flying without telling us that’s the one and only solution.
thank you very much for this useful video Greg
Nice set of clear flying tips to fly by!
Hi Greg. You are great at making everything you talk about simple to understand... Thank you again. :)
I love the way you explain the skills I’ve learn so much and feel I have improved my skills so much since joining excellent lessons and can deal wiv high winds wiv the techniques you teach
Thanks Sonny, the simplest methods are the best ... glad I can help you get more out of this incredible sport.
Thank you. Great knowledge.
Yes, u r on my Hero list.
Love this channel Greg,thank you!
Im not a paraglider, nor do I partake in any sort of recreational flying. Not a huge fan of the free fall feeling either. But I must say Greg, you videos are great. I've watched quite a few now. Your presentation is tiptop and the content is very enjoyable.
I have zero intention of getting up in the air but I keep watching 👍🏼
I just got a HobbyKing R/C paramotor. Flew it once so far and cut a shroud with the motor. Still...
Redoing my ep and then cp in March. Love your videos Greg. Lots of good advice. Thanks
Best of luck!
These are great tips, I've watched it several times already!
thanks for sharing maait
I wanna do this soooo bad!!! I gotta change that! 😉✌
Super Video(s)! Thank you!!!!!
Brilliant as always !
Watching Greg's videos: you DON'T want to change that :-) :-) :-) Keep up the amazing work Greg, the paragliding community is lucky to have you!
Amen brother!
Bravo.perfect. thenks
Nice. You are such a good tutor
I wish I were in your country to get such facilities.
Question, as a former ejection seat technician on fighter jets what is the height you can reach before ‘pulling the backup shoot’? Also I very much want into this sport
You see Greg explaining things.
You want to change that!!!
Awesome Message.... 👌❤
Great video
Signed up at your website Greg and can only recommend it to other pilots. I have been flying since 2014 and found a lot of very useful information presented in a way that makes it easy to understand. Keep up the good work Greg and hope to see you on a launch site somewhere :-). Kind regards from Norway
Спасибо большое за информацию 🙏🪂🤙
hi greg, what do you think about starting with UFO or skin 3 paraglider ? there is 3 school in france they say " advantages
-very easy to set up ,
-highly cushioned behavior very high flight safety, -
-more fun, faster!
disadvantages
-Monosurfaces hover a little less well than a conventional wing, especially in turbulent air or in wind. But since a beginner should not fly if there is wind or turbulence, this disadvantage is less significant ,
-According to some opinions, the landing is less soft than with a conventional wing. I would say yes, if we use the same technique but no, if we use the appropriate technique, "
what is your opinion thx by advance
a total future beginner of 47 yo
Yes thats fine as long as they progress you on to normal double skin wings near the end of training.
Jonny from Vancouver BC Canada. I want to get good at this. I'm 50teen. 50. But live like I'm still 16.
When driving, you see mfkrrs not obeying traffic laws.... YOU WANNA CHANGE THAT!
Bwahahaaa! You sir, crack me up!
How do you film the paragliding? Using a drone to follow along?
This is worth far more than £10 a month for sure! Experience and knowledge from Greg over his many years of flying presented in a clear, concise, practical and easy to take in and understand way with Greg's good sense of humour. Thanks Greg this is going to transform my flying! Can't wait to see this next series!
Nice tips !
Thanks...
I'm starting my course in South Africa Port Elizabeth soon . This has to be the most comprehensive channel for PG .. Awesome content ..
Hiya Mark. Fellow PE pilot here. All Greg's content is awesome and instructive and I feel like I've learnt a tonne just listening to him. That said; the wealth of experience in our local conditions that both Cal & Ben bring to the table is not to be underestimated. They make things very practical and digestible and you will watch your flying develop under their tutelage. Happy landing and I'll catch you on the hill.
@@theapretorius9563 who are Cal & Ben?
3 seconds is too soon to start your turn in a thermal as you will just drop out the back. You need to go past the core to keep your entire circle in the center. Six seems to work best on my Delta 2. Mapping thermals is fun.
that's luxury, Mike! you can do that in wide thermals, but most of the time, especially in dry climates, sunny places, or early in the day, you need to turn sooner so you don't go out the front of the core, which then gives you an unresponsive wide turn in heavy sink. most wings have a delay to the initial turn, so 3 seconds will give you 4 seconds of travel, then your first quarter turn, and so on for 16 seconds for a beginner turn. Most of my thermalling is around 12 seconds for a 360, so 3 seconds puts me right at the core .. if not, widening up is simple to do, and much easier than finding the thermal again after a too-wide-circle.
precious tips and tricks...
in our dayli paragliding those tips could be the difference between a good flight and an incident... thanks for sharing... I love number 7
sempre brilhante nos conteúdos, informações chave para o piloto melhorar sua segurança e aumentar sua performance. obrigado greg
As always - top content Greg... wish I was in the UK mate, would love to fly with you! ;)
That would be cool! But right now, you really don't want to be here ...
Right now, I guess I agree - im feeling pretty blessed living in our Island state. Tasmania has done well - maintaining a zero cases reality for months, however they have just opened the state borders again... so it will only be a matter of time until we are dealing with covid again too...
Love your videos but I have an issue...with myself. My weight is 110kg...all up is almost 140kg... I am on a EN-B wing. I want to "upgrade" to an EN-C. What wing would you suggest for the heavier type of pilot like myself. I am not fat, just "large". To reach cloud base is not easy like the feather weight guys. Any advice is welcome please
Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge!
Very clear explanations.
Nice video, thanks Greg. I love paragliding, there's always something to learn!
Best video
Hi dear thanks alot for your kind guidance im joiner in paragliding I used your instruction all form take of to landing even my cotch got shoked because my preference growing v fast thanks again
My regards
Aysar from Iraq 🇮🇶 Baghdad
Damn I love this kind of videos. I just did 5 flights in my life and it feels so good to know about the theory before learning it the wrong way. There is such a high amount of information in a 6min video, where many RUclipsrs would artificially stretch these information to like an hour or so. Very impressive!
Wow, so much condensed knowledge, and I confess I do few of these things and I definitely need to change that!
This is realy one of the Best video.
Can you make one video about start flying after crash or some bad experiences?
IT was also my problem.
Excellent information as always. Thank you Greg.
Hoooowdy nice channel helps a lot
Great information. Thank you. Band of Brothers and Sisters
My most amazing instructor .. big Salut
Please show me tech how I can start with low wind
Great info, I’ll keep having a look at your videos to gain some further knowledge.
Good tips, concisely presented.
Regarding tight turns in thermals. May I suggest that SOME thermals are wide and weak. A steep turn would give up climb rate in these. More accurately it would be : "use a bank that keeps you climbing at the highest rate" which is sometimes shallow. But be willing to go steep when the tightness of a core demands it."
Of course this head knowledge must turn into skill developed through application.
Thanks Jeff, and a good point! I'll make a much more detailed thermaling video which will go into optimising climb rates, but if I was to give ONE piece of advice for progressing pilots trying to thermal better, it's turn tight. I seldom see pilots turning so tight they are sinking out, although it is technically possible.
nice video :) great job
Greg, thank you SO much for putting these videos out. I have watched all, and I mean ALL your tutorials and vids and as a new P2 pilot, cannot express how helpful they have been. Hope to come and fly your site in England some day.
Glad you like them! I hope to escape from my site in England soon :-) I think I'm genetically programmed to be a migratory bird...
Could you possibly do a video on fear? I'm a P3 rated pilot, been flying for about a year, and I'm running into the issue of psyching myself out. How did you manage this?
Hey mate I have issues with this too I was given a couple of tips that really helped first one have confidence in your equipment go through and check everything and no in your mind that your gear will not fail you that took away a third of my fear the other one was imagine a small bubble around you and ask yourself am I in any immediate danger in this bubble the answer should be no then imagine a bubble a bit bigger and ask yourself am I in any immediate danger in this bubble the answer should be no and just keep on making bigger bubbles this took away another 3rd of my fear I still have one third fear but in my case it's more like terror then fear I hope this helped a little bit because it is exhausting flying when you're scared staysafe and sore High
A lifetime of experience in just a few minutes!! Thanks for the effort. Will watch the video again!!
The lockdown where I live has just been lifted and the weather is warming. Cannot wait to get back out there.
Wonderfull´s advices en few minutes
another well thought and great teaching video ! ....enjoy your videos and love to try out most of your tips ....to bad it is aproaching winter in Germany soon...allready miss flighing Rg Bernd
Ten Tips for Flying in The Dark?
@@FlyWithGreg At night, be careful of the wind gradient. There might not be much wind on the ground, while it is a few meters up. Wait for full moon. Be careful of wires. Some tips I can think of. Not that I have heard anybody talk about it. :-)
This is very helpful thanks !
Hi Greg, thanks for the Tips. I would wish the video would be a little longer with more explanations though. For me too condensed, but still of good value.
No.8 overshooting... Secret is change that by not overshooting!?! 🤣 Thanks! Guess I'm off to website then...🤣🤣✌🏽❤️
effective landing setup. so this means, not putting yourself into a position where your only option is to overshoot, because you have set yourself up to fly into a narrowing funnel of obstacles. When flying out to the landing zone, analyse the approach patterns you can use, and find one that gives you a simple approach path that has 'break out' options or plan B alternatives, and doesn't rely on a perfect glide path ... expect a lot of variation in the ground wash layer!
Great stuff! Thank you!
Huge respect to you sir... But all your techniques might be helpful in Europe... I am from a region where we have Himalayas, the Hindukush, The Karakorams, and many other magnificent flying areas but lack of resources (even getting a variometer here is hard), expensive wings, and other essentials, make flying far more scary and challenging... still we a small community who can afford this sport try to fly... A big round of applause for you and would love to welcome you to come to Pakistan and fly with us with some uncertain and unforeseen challenging areas.
Thanks for the invitation!
Great video like always;)
Nice video
Excellent list
I even employ some of them ...
Starting my training in february, can`t wait! Glad I found your channel to improve myself later on.
Hi Greg,I have been watching you videos for some time i have just retired but im very fit,.as was in the special forces but do you think maybe im too old,.but i would really love to give it a go,.i did many parachute jumps but i know that paragliding and parachuting are 2 different things what advice can you give me please tia
Most of the local paragliding club are retired .. definitely not too old to give it a try, you just need a basic active level of fitness (can hike uphill with a big backpack) and mostly good coordition/balance and a good bit of common sense.
Perfic Greg. Thanks
Thank you for your knowledge
You want to change that !! Lets change things🖖
One other thing, I can't wait till when the weather improves so I can get some practice these ground handling techniques, e.g. the strong wind take off techniques that Greg has mentioned in his previous video. This is certainly been one of my biggest weaknesses with flying, and I have always shied away from strong wind takeoffs but now I just can't wait to go and practice.
One big one has to be, as Greg has explained, the need to run under the and toward the wing as you pull up. I have been flying since 1996 and no one ever explained this to me! So just a simple thing, and it's so simple but so effective!
I wish you had done these videos 15 years earlier Greg, but it's never too late. From low airtime to highly experienced pilots, in fact anyone who is serious about flying should undoubtedly sign up to 'Fly with Greg' (website). Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to go to the next level and beyond. As Greg says I am also very excited about where this is going and I want to be part of it from the beginning.
Thanks John, it's really cool having your support. I've now got the time to analyse flying deeply to create relevant training videos.
Rule number 7: Please explain that deeper in another video!
Please, explain what to do in turbulence. Now it's spring here and it's turbulent. My harness is shaking sometimes :-)

Nice one again Greg! Great to pick up tips even when not able to fly during this nasty weather (in Holland). GrtzAart
You nailed it. Great way to put it into words and show examples. Kite kite kite
Thank you for this, I'm just getting into paragliding and this is gold.
Love it, keep it coming mate.
Short but useful info and tips 👍
Thanks for the great tips!
a lot of usefull tips that are often overlooked in regular training. You have my subscription!
Good stuff, thanks ;)
Great ideas Greg, practice all these and Kite Kite Kite to keep those skills current.
Thank you brother!!
Cracking new video. I like the change in style and format for this content :) hoping for some better weather to get out and try it soon :)
mixing things up a bit by going through the archives, because flying is like ---------
Great material! I love everything you put out, always learning something! :)
The more experience I get, the more practice and education I need.
It's a good life
Great content, can't wait to start flying again!
Hi Greg, another great video, thanks...
observation: launch phase - (imho) I see too many pilots looking up in to their wing, back bowed... doing this, you have absolutely no balance, no control over direction, footing or ability to react
Solid advice Greg!
excellent, as always :) thanks!
1:03 Yes, this is a bad habit that's easy to acquire and maintain on many sites, for example the Alps where launch sites typically have little to nil wind. OTOH in California it's quite common to have a strong wind on launch and you learn very quickly to forget the brakes as you'd be just blown backwards otherwise. I found out just sticking to the classic A/C method works very well even in very weak winds anyway.
I have been following you for a while before subscribing. very interesting all your videos. thank you.
long time hang glider just starting para , thanks for your time of explaining things great video's great work thanks im slowly improving my comfort zone
