I'm not saying you have to make 7 second thermaling turns ... just showing you it's possible, when needed!

[@janismateuss]

Good advice for relatively new pilots, scared of strong bumpy thermals: just turn tighter instead of running away. Less likely to be stumbling in to the bumpy edges of the thermal, less likely to loose the thermal, and more G loaded wing will be more stable and feel more comfortable.

[@frankschweikert3914]

Very helpfull👍👍👍Thanks

[@Ripstop_pilot]

if you can heli in a thermal does that count?

Watching Greg's videos: you DON'T want to change that :-) :-) :-) Keep up the amazing work Greg, the paragliding community is lucky to have you!

[@johnrudge777]

Amen brother!

[@KyleOzz]

Im not a paraglider, nor do I partake in any sort of recreational flying. Not a huge fan of the free fall feeling either. But I must say Greg, you videos are great. I've watched quite a few now. Your presentation is tiptop and the content is very enjoyable. I have zero intention of getting up in the air but I keep watching 👍🏼

[@A3Kr0n]

I just got a HobbyKing R/C paramotor. Flew it once so far and cut a shroud with the motor. Still...

[@marksuch3888]

I'm starting my course in South Africa Port Elizabeth soon . This has to be the most comprehensive channel for PG .. Awesome content ..

[@theapretorius9563]

Hiya Mark. Fellow PE pilot here. All Greg's content is awesome and instructive and I feel like I've learnt a tonne just listening to him. That said; the wealth of experience in our local conditions that both Cal & Ben bring to the table is not to be underestimated. They make things very practical and digestible and you will watch your flying develop under their tutelage. Happy landing and I'll catch you on the hill.

[@davideophile]

Just got my licence in wilderness with my instructor Ben, absolutely life changing sport and love ur channel

Been flying for many years now and still learning, never can learn enough.

[@johnrudge777]

This is worth far more than £10 a month for sure! Experience and knowledge from Greg over his many years of flying presented in a clear, concise, practical and easy to take in and understand way with Greg's good sense of humour. Thanks Greg this is going to transform my flying! Can't wait to see this next series!

[@mupfelbude5932]

Starting my training in february, can`t wait! Glad I found your channel to improve myself later on.

[@swelchut]

Nice set of clear flying tips to fly by!

[@ooglek]

I'm a paramotor pilot now and I'm very interested in learning to paraglide. I love these videos, Greg, because you are honest, humble, cheesy, and wildly informative. When you make mistakes, you own them, like when you got stuck in the desert! I'm subscribed and hope to someday paramotor in the morning, hike up a hill and paraglide late morning to early afternoon, get some late lunch, then paramotor into the sunset. Can't wait!

[@sbir555]

This is the best compressed tips I’ve seen for paragliding! Great to see the mistakes and what to do correctly

[@sebastiennoir9758]

A lifetime of experience in just a few minutes!! Thanks for the effort. Will watch the video again!!

[@die8tentagsadventisten558]

You see Greg explaining things. You want to change that!!!

Greg - youre a fantastic guy... Its a pleasure to watch you explain this with such patience and love of flying.

[@qferal1196]

These entries are always simple and concise with their discussion of complex ideas. I am incredibly novice but these videos bring confidence into my springtime training! You rule Greg!

[@crlsdario]

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge! Very clear explanations.

[@jeffsinason4336]

Excellent information as always. Thank you Greg.

Wow, so much condensed knowledge, and I confess I do few of these things and I definitely need to change that!

[@TeePolgar]

I love the detailed attention to color grading. Evolution in paragliding vlogging! Thanks for all the content Greg. They help tons

[@FlyWithGreg]

You're the 1:1000000 who notices the finer details, and that gives me a smile. A lot of what I do is not on the surface ...

[@benperle]

Greg, thank you SO much for putting these videos out. I have watched all, and I mean ALL your tutorials and vids and as a new P2 pilot, cannot express how helpful they have been. Hope to come and fly your site in England some day.

[@FlyWithGreg]

Glad you like them! I hope to escape from my site in England soon :-) I think I'm genetically programmed to be a migratory bird...

Loving these videos Greg as a student doing CP at the moment these tips are like finding nuggets of gold in a mountain of often confusing and conflicting advice - keep up the amazing work 👍👍👍

[@FlyWithGreg]

Great to hear! Go easy on those tight turns in the beginning, you'll give your instructor grey hair! It's just something to work towards...

@@FlyWithGreg - will do - Paddy has enough grey as it is 😉😉. Not much flying at the moment here on our tropical paradise that is the Isle of Wight - hopefully some high(er) pressure heading our way soon 🤞🤞🤞

Thanks Greg, My name is Hodo....After spending 20 years in the high-rise window cleaning industry and not jumping off the building without a rope and secure gear; telling myself Hodo....don't jump. Its time i learned to fly like the birds I have loved to watch sore. I love the heights, love the gear, and want to sore. looking forward to your courses and knowledge in this New adventure.

Top notch advice as always. Thanks so much Greg!

[@nylonwing]

These are great tips, I've watched it several times already!

[@SamGlasser]

I just watched your video on swoop landings, that happened to be the first thing I wanted to get instruction on, and there it was. Where I trained the instructor stood at the top of the hill, never seeing my landings, and never giving any input that I could use to make my landings softer. I have spent most of my time as a paraglider pilot wondering how much more my knees could take. Now that I have watched 3 of your videos I have several techniques I am anxious to try. Thank you!

[@KSanofficial]

Damn I love this kind of videos. I just did 5 flights in my life and it feels so good to know about the theory before learning it the wrong way. There is such a high amount of information in a 6min video, where many KZbinrs would artificially stretch these information to like an hour or so. Very impressive!

[@johnrudge777]

One other thing, I can't wait till when the weather improves so I can get some practice these ground handling techniques, e.g. the strong wind take off techniques that Greg has mentioned in his previous video. This is certainly been one of my biggest weaknesses with flying, and I have always shied away from strong wind takeoffs but now I just can't wait to go and practice. One big one has to be, as Greg has explained, the need to run under the and toward the wing as you pull up. I have been flying since 1996 and no one ever explained this to me! So just a simple thing, and it's so simple but so effective! I wish you had done these videos 15 years earlier Greg, but it's never too late. From low airtime to highly experienced pilots, in fact anyone who is serious about flying should undoubtedly sign up to 'Fly with Greg' (website). Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to go to the next level and beyond. As Greg says I am also very excited about where this is going and I want to be part of it from the beginning.

[@FlyWithGreg]

Thanks John, it's really cool having your support. I've now got the time to analyse flying deeply to create relevant training videos.

[@sonnyburnside9409]

I love the way you explain the skills I’ve learn so much and feel I have improved my skills so much since joining excellent lessons and can deal wiv high winds wiv the techniques you teach

[@FlyWithGreg]

Thanks Sonny, the simplest methods are the best ... glad I can help you get more out of this incredible sport.

[@MilesofBeard]

subscribed a while ago. I watch all your videos and I owe it to you to jumping into this amazing sport earlier this year. A little too late into the season though being that I live in Colorado its going to take me waiting till next year to finish my P1. I am saving for my first canopy and gear set up now. I am a skydiver and have found I have picked it up fast and thats what drove me to the sport. I cant say enough how much your videos are inspiring and extremely informational! I know I can always learn something from one of your videos. Hope to see you in the sky one day in the near future!!!
