This was the first video I’ve watched from Flybubble and this was an absolute fantastic tutorial. From other comments I see it’s a first from Nancy and I can’t believe that. More please!
Hi Eugenue. Generally best to avoid using speedbar+brakes, mainly because it's inefficient. On the other hand if you feel the wing suddenly losing pressure and about to collapse then it's best to react on the brakes immediately to prevent or minimise the collapse whilst being careful not to overreact. In case of encountering sudden strong turbulence, using the brakes for 'active flying' is in most cases the best--and often only--way to prevent collapses.
You'll notice in the bit of the video you link to that when Nancy decides to use the speed system she says: "... bit of speed bar, lift up on my brakes..." but then shortly after this she flies through some turbulence "... little bit of bumpiness on the glide... " and so she automatically adds a bit of brake* and then shortly after this comes off the speed system after she enters the climb. *If I was to being picky then I'd say that in this particular situation, where the turbulence clearly wasn't bad enough to case a collapse, it would have been 'better practice' to have eased off the speed system first then applied the brake soon after (if this was even required at all), almost in the same motion, so as to minimise any potential negative effect on the distribution of pressure across the wing whilst at the same time flying 'actively'.
Nancy why skytraxx and naviter together ? you wanna compare the 2 companies top products? Forget all, the new skytraxx 2,1 flarm & fanet is the breaking gps. one top feature of a lots more, you can connect it with the fantastic maps auf XC track :-))
I'm not a paragliding pilot just watching out of pure curiosity. Can someone explain to me what about this video a whole lotta people don't like? Is there something I should know or understand?

Thank you, Love the video!! When you are flying...how do you know where to fly? Do you make a plan? You go with the lift? Or wind direction? Thank you
YES!!! I have very much enjoyed flying with you and the whole team because you at flybubble help keeping paragliding SAFE!!!!
Nice one Nancy. Let’s have more videos from you please!
Fantastic video Nancy. I see gregs been teaching you. Hope to see more of you this year. 10/10
I did my first glide 3 weeks ago and I can't wait to soar 😁 I just can't wait. Going to download this episode so I can burn it in me head 🤭
Very interesting thank you, didn't like the grey clouds or the occasional turbulence! But apart from that what an experience!
Great video! Where is this?
Thanks you, Nancy. Great fly!
Awsome video Nancy. Flybubble’s video’s are always on point, no matter who’s flying and where✌️🤘
Thanks a lot for this, really gives you teh feeling of being there.
I prefer when there is no music playing (maybe I'm too old;)
I think that is Piedechinche spot, maybe the best spot in Colombia.
4:00 speedbar+brakes. What pros/cons of this technique?
I friend of mine took a front colapse for doing this.
She really didn't have any brake pressure on bar but I'd go to C's.

When do you drop the Epsilon 9 review?
When it's ready! Please send us good thermic conditions!
what part of Colombia,, I am taking lesson at Santa Elena , Colombia
Nice one :) Thanks you, what wing is it ?
Phi TENOR light - see our review ruclips.net/video/V6tTmw_XmNE/видео.html
What's everyone's thoughts on her karabiners facing the same direction as where the riser is tending to pull towards the gate? Pros and cons
According to my experience, it's easier to mount a camera clamp on the carabiner if they are in this direction
Hello Nancy ...great video for thermal searching , what are you using for a mic/recorder sounds so clear 😀
:)),, have you ever reviewed a bgd adam wing? any input ?
What is that beeping for?
Do you worry about getting sucked up in a cloud and take it too high that's kind of scares me
where is your harenss video girl?? CAn't find it. Please advice. Thank youuu... and greetings from the Algarve Coast..
I guess you mean this one: ruclips.net/video/Ij4oky7_mTA/видео.html
Question please 🙏, it's so cloudy... So where did thermals come?

Show
What helmet is this?
Hi hangman, I fly with the Icaro 4fight Cut Integral, see the options here: flybubble.com/icaro-4fight-cut-integral
is that a camera bag round your neck nancy??
would have been quite a good video if you had actually pointed the camera at what you were talking about instead of your face.
Wanted to say the same thing. Otherwise very good.
