Groundhandling at Take-off - BANDARRA

[@MikeyFirst]

Really relaxed groundhandling is what I like too. Thanks for the inspirational video.

[@DougBow96]

[@flierbill]

I love to practice ground handling ! Love your videos ! Thanks !

[@pricateno]

Wow! Good training & excelent control! Congrats.

[@benperle]

Hey Andre, love your videos. Where is this particular one? What country? I have no idea where you are flying from... Thanks

[@TheHexperience]

Possibly the cutest sneeze on youtube. Watching you guys always makes me want to go out and do some ground handling... then I remember how lazy I am and it passes... ;)

[@Leonbjerknes]

My takeoff weight is around 85kg. Do you think i should go for size S og MS (up to 85kg or 95kg) on the Geo 5/6? I know Swift 5 likes it at the top, is the Geo also like that?

[@anthonyoh4304]

Andre, thank you for posting this vid, I am contemplating paragliding but only weigh 56 kg, will ground handling be problem for small people?

[@AndreBandarra1]

Not necessarily. In paragliding the wings are matched to the weight of the pilot, so you can just find a wing that works for your weight

[@anthonyoh4304]

@@AndreBandarra1 Thank you very much. God bless.

[@suesun7072]

I really need a old harness for ground handling without bumping my reserve each time I sit dow! Which is the light one you are wearing there?

[@AndreBandarra1]

It’s the Gin Yeti but we don’t recommend it really. Trying to find a good gh harness on the market but we might have to design our own

[@heyitsalanhere]

@@AndreBandarra1 Just wondering why you don't recommend it ? Reason I ask is that I've just bought a used (hardly) one but I haven't flown with it yet.

[@AndreBandarra1]

@@heyitsalanhere I think fine to fly but not great to groundhandle for long periods of time. the straps are too think and screw up your groin.

[@heyitsalanhere]

@@AndreBandarra1 Ahhhh ok... don't want any of that mularchy goin on down there eh 😕 Thanks Andre 👍

[@12vibaba]

hey Andre, i have a question. Is a paragliding licence reqired in Portugal?

[@AndreBandarra1]

As far as I’m aware a license isn’t required in any country other than Switzerland. However it’s highly advisable.

[@12vibaba]

@@AndreBandarra1 ok thanks. i am a licensed ppg pilot since 2006 and tandempilot since 2009 (trike and footlaunce).i fly about 75 hours per year. i just don't want to do all the nessesary flights and examens again for flying without the motor. just go on holliday and throw the paraglider in the back of the car and go.

[@AndreBandarra1]

@@12vibaba Yeah, i think that's fine everywhere to be honest :)

[@DomesticDave]

Would be great if you could give actual wind speeds instead of just strong/light. Not being a coastal flyer, it would be good to know how strong is strong or too strong on the coast.

[@AndreBandarra1]

Light is 10-15km/h, Strong is 30-35km/h

[@DomesticDave]

Thanks Andre, maybe i should consider one of your ground handling courses.

[@edsonsport8208]

Genial

[@Hemersonr]

ow the sea... easy and controlled...

[@BariFPV]

Real light conditions. I don't think I've seen Emma this rusty ever :) new wing eh!
