"When the wind is strong and you lean back into wind when you pull up, it shoots up very quickly."
"You cannot feel the real wind while you are flying. What you feel is the AIRFLOW, which always comes from the front. The WIND can blow from any direction, but it doesn't blow towards you because you move WITH all the air, as you move THROUGH it."
"Always think to yourself, where can I move to, to make it easier for these pilots to manouvre? Defensive flying is about making SPACE."
"The more you learn about paragliding, the higher you get. Where can you learn more?"

"If you like this video you need to watch Master Ground Handling because it shows you the exercises you can work on right now to LEVEL UP your wing control."

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Thinkflite]

I'd love to see how you make use of van life on your gliding expeditions... No doubt having a camper makes the logistics allot easier.

[@FlyWithGreg]

I love my van, but it only makes logistics easier if you can fly back to it, so sometimes it's a kind of shackle. The real free flying comes when you pack a tent and some food, and just follow the wind...

The orange wing at 3:02 shows another reason to always keep an eye out for others. I can't see what exactly happens but to me it looks like an overzealous pull on the left brake

[@AliGhanbari73]

In the Altitude is the solution section, where is the camera connected to the pilot?

[@ripmanridin7092]

👍👍

[@CoIoneIPanic]

Greg Hilarious fun as always. Query but how do i get your tips without money?

[@FlyWithGreg]

You're most welcome to hang out here with me on KZbin. I can't give away the whole book, but I drop a page here and there :-) Otherwise, think of the academy as an investment in your safety .. just drop in for a month, and fill your boots with video training!
