Paragliding Acro tutorial - Wingovers

In these videos, I demonstrate how to perform the maneuvers in the way that I teach them. These should be viewed as an example of my communication style and approach as a coach and as a visual aide to improve your understanding, but should NOT be considered to be a replacement for instruction. While I do my best to explain each maneuver with the best balance of brevity and detail possible in the given format, the information in these videos is not fully comprehensive in regards to what is required to safely execute them. Before attempting these maneuvers, a broader understanding of how to mitigate risk and progress at a safe and appropriate rate is absolutely required. The safest possible way to learn these maneuvers is always with ample altitude over the water, with a rescue boat AND life jacket, and using suitable equipment under the direction of an instructor.

I love your videos and they are very instructional and they helped me so much. There again when I look at the fact that I'm flying heavy on the wing, when you start doing Wing overs with a lot of swing then you start having a lot of extra downforce and you're really eat a lot of altitude. The more I watch you the more superstitious I get about using the brakes. I might get a bigger seat board to get more roll authority. I have this picture of you doing these beautiful winged overs with lots of high altitude excitement. I see me sucking my thumb with brakes stowed on a big wide seat board leaning back and forth doing wing overs. I think about to rock and roll songs when I watch your videos. Steely Dan's Deacon blues. "I cried when I wrote this song, sue me if I play too long" I know how much work going into learning this to the level you have accomplished. I think a creedence Clearwater revival. Lodi..."wish I had a dollar for every song I sung every time I had to play while people sat there drunk. You know I'd catch the next train back to where I'm from"..…I don't mean to discredit what you're doing cuz I'd love to fly tandem with you if I had the money. So there's one kind of wing over, you just weight shift back and forth. If you lose your place it's okay. If you get a big wide seat board so it rides like being inside a washing machine, they go even better. Then there's the other kind where you really are a pilot and you have all this timing and you're using the brakes and you can mess up and have a collapse in the first mess up that won't get you but the second mess up might. From a mathematical standpoint if you were at the very bottom of the weight range, your flight path would have a more consistent decent rate. If you were flying over weight like you have in some videos, the additional downward pull from the bank angle you would be losing altitude a lot more quickly, the outside terms with the additional downforce from the g loading.

looks like oludeniz? nice explanation

[@rajpoottoshithakur5996]

Super bro

[@vuminhtra]

Great video ... but i just wanna know how can you setup the camera for great angle like this

[@beyondsiv]

It's on a selfie stick about 1.5-2m. After take off I put the stick between my legs and sit on it

[@andreumoreno6288]

Hi kris, do you think it would be dangerous to get the càmera stick tied up with a line with one manouvre like a frontal?

Thanks for the demo, is very informative and I really like your buzz words, shift/dive/pull…it’s what I taught myself several years ago when I first wanted to learn wingovers…here’s my last training session with Pal Takats: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIm0Xpd4pLt7obcsi=qSOexGfmFPFTcBz0
