Wow! This was a true MasterClass session! Thank you, Marc&Sian!❤

Best explanation ever! Thank you, Marc! I think it will be also great to demonstrate - in a 100% safe manner, of course - typical beginner mistakes and the effects they induce in the wing, like inducing a frontal, symmetrical or asymmetrical, pulling on the wrong brakes inducing a wrong roll. Or tips on how to untangle the lines. Great channel! 👍💪👍Keep these awesome videos coming!🙏

Hi ! Candid question. Aside of being fun and challenging, what is the purpose of wing overs ? Can it be considered as a quick descent manœuver ?

Gordgeous ,elegant place🎉🎉mark

Cobra for the win! Use it frequently with the tandem and higher winds

Perfect vdo, love from Hunza, keep it up+thumb Up!!!

Love watching these Marc, makes for great viewing... reminds me of better times.

What a lovely area. Thanks again for taking us along! 🪂

Can’t wait to get back into this great channel 👍

I needed this, thanks!

I've been watching your video since January. I got my glider three weeks ago and have been waitin go out in the right conditions. Today is the day. I have a 7 mile an hour straight on shore off the ocean. I'm going to practice my groundwork today, tomorrow and the next day, I have your videos memorized. Thanks for the great instructions.

When will the new series of takoo s come?

I agree I like open harnesses. But when it’s soarable here in NorCal it’s freezing! So pods are very much useful to stay warm

As someone who attended this first week of fly guiding, I can honestly say it was it was a week I will fondly remember and will definitely go back again.

Right when I feel like I’ve mastered the theoretical Mother Nature is like, hold my beer, watch this! I’ll keep at it

This is the really great stuff. 😊

amazing video Marc

great video, very educational packing on windy time

very nice. love your dedication to the student pilots

Great vid, great looking hobby😃

Thanks for the video brother. People are still learning from it! 👍🏼👊🏼🤳💯

Super that you go so much in details... we new beginners need it

Super information, i like it alot😀

Excellent video, thanks mate!

Hi Marc, Great video like always. Writing out of Vancouver Canada. Had my first paragliding lesson last weekend and will continue this weekend. I have a question regarding wing selection. I want to do both Paragliding and eventually also transition to Paramotoring. I am looking at a Apco F5. Will it be possible for me to use this wing for both ? I am a male, 62 years old and 82kg.

That looks fantastic!! Almost like a mini Annecy in Wales?? Great vid buddy.

Nice one Mark!

Looks like borth and Aberdovey, but is that a bridge across the estuary, which makes it Barmouth.

Nice one , beautiful scenery

thanks man for this awsome video I'm a beginner and it does help a lot you take time to explain again and again and again and it's very helpfull chears from France and keep going see ya in the air sometime😎

Hi Marc! I am impressed, how you can explain your steps of GH! I do paragliding now for 12 years, but i have never seen before how nice and with every detail a person explain this difficult "handcraft'' thanks a lot and yes, you can be very lucky about your nice spot there!

Excellent training

Nice, very good you strongly mentioned etiquette, sometimes on smaller hill, where there is litttle bit crowdy, it is big problem, everybody want to be established and some people have problem with correctly joining others in thermal. About this finger wrap, isnt't it hurting on the finger? I do hand wrap when circling in very weak thermal in flats, so it is not so tiriring, but doing it over one finger seems to me like too much pressure n the finger.

Thanks!

On a forward inflation you should lean forward. Not run with your chest up.

Thanks for that but, yet to see someone do a solo pack on a cliff at the coast in a 20MPH wind. What happend to the mini paramotor test Marc?

That glider is soooo crispy!! P.s, how comes i didn't get a Nk hat with my arrow harness 😛

My Zero! 🎉❤

Leading edge rods get bend when you fold leading edge inside down. Bad. Better just pack leading edge all together, the rest of the glider doesnt matter

Thanks!👍

Great video Marc! thank you very much!

Hi, Thank you for the instruction. I don't harmonica my gliders myself. i just make sure all cells are upon eachother and strap them down. Then i roll the sides in like a sausage. this way i don' t get sharp folds.

PITCH CONTROL 5:07 - Running reverse launch 1 - too much break - glider hangs back 7:53 - Running reverse launch 2 - much better, bordering on not enough pressure 9:04 - Running reverse launch 3 - good pitch control (hints of pilot induced oscillation) 11:40 - Reverse launch 4 15:22 - Reverse launch pitch control demo 16:01 - How to rose up & fix a glider that landed leading edge down STRONG WIND LAUNCHING & LANDING 27:45 - Rear riser technique to keep the wing on the ground & under control in strong wind (essential technique!) 32:12 - What NOT to do to keep the wing on the ground in strong wind 30:00 - Bouncing wing whilst held down? Rear risers & step to the wing 6" 29:15 - High wind reverse launch explanation 30:12 - High wind reverse launch demo 1 31:35 - High wind landing approach 31:45 - High wind landing - "flare, turn, punch, run at the wing" (quick) 33:53 - High wind reverse launch demo 2 35:04 - High wind landing 2 35:45 - High wind landing - "no flare needed, turn, punch, run at it" (quick) 36:38 - Inducing a small dive to get your feet back on the ground, followed by aggressive kill <- this was very useful advice! 37:12 - How to rose up in high wind (rear risers on and step to a wing tip) Great video as always Marc & Sian. You really are top instructors. Super helpful to see your strong wind control techniques! Here are some bookmarks of my favourite moments.

Very useful, thanks a lot. subscribed

Great video series! Thanks for all the tips! Really helpful Only thing i want to request is that you make the series into playlists here on youtube so its easier to play them all!

I learn a lot from you,thanks. Where is your base and contact details please

Would love to learn to paraglide, but it's not something that you get second chances if you have a misfortune accident. Rappelling might be safer and more affordable to get into.

Hello Marc. What a beautiful place to fly. I'm Frank from Kilkenny in Ireland. Our weather for flying the past few years is so bad. I have 15 years flying but would like to do a guided xc of 50 km or more. Perhaps 100 km. I have a rush 6 which is amazing to thermal on. I am still learning after all these years and would love a guided xc so I can relax and enjoy it, instead of being stressed out in mental rough thermals. Your video and instruction was brilliant. So calm and relaxed. Well done you. Best of luck to all your students. Where do you mainly guide from. Thanks Frank

i will take the free x mission wing
