[@QMAXIMUS]

Hey that's me with the paraglider at 1:30 :) Nice launches and landings! 👍

[@no_elzee]

Yeah! You're in the background of a few Instagram stories, also 😀👍

[@dame744]

You make it look easy!

[@no_elzee]

You can do it, too. It just takes a little practice. We're there for you.

[@GlideLA]

My turn next

[@no_elzee]

Sorry. It won't work for you. You'll just climb out and fly away! 😂

[@GlideLA]

@@no_elzee :-D

Letting go with both hands at the same time will bite someday.

[@no_elzee]

Thank you, sir. I agree. A diamond with a flaw is better than a perfect pebble!

"This is the point where I forget everything "!!!! Hahahah 🤦‍♂️😄

😂I know! Just when I'm gonna change it up a bit, adrenaline kicks in. 😉

Never seen that part of the training hill used. Tim always dropped me off at the usual spot while Dan stayed with me at the top to give instruction for my brother and I. I love that training hill.

Hi Garry Yeah, you gotta stop by and check it out. It's very exciting!

[@garrykennedy5484]

@@no_elzee I hope to soon, but I live in AZ, so it's hard to find the time off that coincides with proper weather. LOL

I'd feel happier if they taught you to attach your harness to your glider before getting in the harness. See - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX2rknuAp5eJmrs

Hi Steve Yeah, that would be cool. I've seen some of the guys do it. But, its impossible with a knee hanger.

[@steverx4460]

@@no_elzee I do it with a training harness.

[@no_elzee]

@@steverx4460 sounds kinky! 😜 I'll try it! 😂

maybe stay upright the entire flight. You control the glider better when you're upright. Prone, your head goes one way, your legs the other way and basically you're zeroing out a non-input. If you're not moving your hips significantly right or left, nothing's going to happen. Also, maybe have someone tune that glider, doesn't seem to respond timely to an actual control input, or you're not using a 'J' hook input effectively? My landings have been sucking lately and I need to come up there and do the same thing you're doing. Just not flying the T2 enough.. what you're doing is going to get it done

[@no_elzee]

Yeah. I cross-control allot, except when I'm proximity flying. Still, it's one of my bad habits. Thanks✌️
