Blindfolded Groundhandling - GH JOB - BANDARRA

Since Gemma is doing so well I thought I'd throw her a curveball and see if she could do it blindfolded!
Turns out she did it with ease so I don't think I have anything more to teach her.
If you have any ideas of other fun challenges we can do in this final week let us know down in the comments :)

this is the ultimate of GH... when you reach this point is a great achivement... women have a special touch regarding to GH and it's confirmed once more.... congrats gemma

[@ronaldsharp8808]

I have watch this exercise from the start. Such a huge change. Question for Gemma - how much has your confidence improved? I'm 68 with only 3.5 hrs so far. My confidence has really improved by hours of ground handling.

[@gcm4312]

that WAS super awesome, Gemma! :D specially with jacket-head hahaha

[@AndreBandarra1]

AHAHAH, I loved jacket-head! :D

[@Oomzilla]

Awesome. I love this video. Motivated!!! 😜

[@MarkLoves2Fly]

Whoa... Whoa... (WHAAAA!) :D I know that feeling! Nice work Gemma! Nailed it!

[@paraworth]

Great training idea. Thanks. Thermalling with eyes closed when above mountains with no vario.

[@BariFPV]

Now that's a nice concept! 👍

[@HugoLuizCruz]

Andre, not polite you doubt Gemma. :-D She did very well.

[@chrisdervin5420]

More fun. Some of the guys were out on Lords today looked nice. I managed to drive to local shops for first time :-)

[@shawnnafzger6223]

Excellent job Gemma !!! Same to you too Andre, you guys did very well with the exercise and I must agree it is alot better and easier with a smaller wing as stated by Andre as a bigger wing will try to drag you and sometimes pluck one off the ground even on flat land ... I myself have done this challenge several times and it is always a great time .... great work guys ... maybe perhaps to make it a bit more interesting put a limit to how many steps you can take while doing it or even trying no steps at all blindfolded and who ever loses has to buy dinner 😉👍

[@ripmanridin7092]

Good job guys!

[@mexxymuss13]

"Don't go doing random stuff just cause someone on the internet told you so" Thats right, why should i be sensible I won't listen to someone on the internet

[@AndreBandarra1]

ahahah, touche! :D

[@SkywalkerPaul]

When are we going to see some flying and some locations in that area?

[@AndreBandarra1]

Paul von Düsseldorf when the GH Job is finished and there is good weather :)

[@th0mas21]

Don't let him steer you wrong, left on top is the way to go!! (Turning the other other ways feels so wierd, lol)

[@peterkemp4372]

Great fun, I think Gemma got you beat though! I think I will continue to just work with my eyes and senses wide alert!! I am still just a wee Bearn, (Gemma may know what I mean) you are almost done, now what do we do when this is over?

[@AndreBandarra1]

That my friend, is a very good question to which I do not know the answer :)

[@peterkemp4372]

Andre Bandarra I think now that winter days and nights are setting in, you will find a bit here and there, casual not to intense and I am sure interesting, but in the meantime we thank you and Gemma for GH as job clinic, cheers and may both of your wishes come true.

[@Oomzilla]

Locations?

[@freezatron]

Good video but that intro music is way too loud !! :) anyhow, this i's a nice series of videos !
