Paragliding - Connecting and ground handling. Episode 2

[@jsin101]

Repetition and more repetition. I love it. Instead of blowing through a topic and having me rewind trying to catch it all you just show us a few times. Couldn't be better.

[@leavesleyaviation]

Thanks pals happy with all the great feedback from all over the world, please spread the word to your pilot pals. 100 more and we have a 1,000 subscribers OMFG!!

[@papeerakha7598]

best tutorial ground handling ever.. thx..

[@leavesleyaviation]

🙏🪂

[@ChuKoNu06]

As a beginner pilot, I’ve watched lots of ground handling videos but this is absolutely the best. Thank you Marc 🙏

[@leavesleyaviation]

Wow thanks.👍🪂🙏

[@leoplaza-ponte6536]

@@leavesleyaviation I agree. I was having a lot of problems launching and maintaining a wing prior to watching this. Best instructor out there!

[@HoriaStancu]

Best explanation ever! Thank you, Marc! I think it will be also great to demonstrate - in a 100% safe manner, of course - typical beginner mistakes and the effects they induce in the wing, like inducing a frontal, symmetrical or asymmetrical, pulling on the wrong brakes inducing a wrong roll. Or tips on how to untangle the lines. Great channel! 👍💪👍Keep these awesome videos coming!🙏

[@leavesleyaviation]

Glad you liked it!

[@shaneross7428]

I'm in awe of how great of a teacher you are. I haven't seen anyone come close to your teaching ability. Thank you.

Fantastic Marc... Your language used and your explanations are spot on! My world is a better place having found your videos. Especially this one. Thanks a million for taking the time and effort to help your fellow pilots !

[@leavesleyaviation]

Thanks very much, more videos will be live soon.

[@sunglee2048]

I'm glad I found your channel. I've been out of action for few years so these set up lessons are perfect for review. Well made video instruction. Thank you!

[@kautschman]

Great work Marc…thanks for keeping it simple amigo!

[@TyroneArcher]

Just getting back into paragliding after a 2 year lay off and only 12 hours air time and find this video which is an absolute game changef for me. Fantastic detailed and easy explanation. Great job.

[@leavesleyaviation]

Thanks for the message means a lot.🙏👍🪂

[@shaneross64]

You're the first instructor that I've seen explain that perfectly. Now I'm ready to go kiting. Thank you SO MUCH. I've been watching paramotor and paragliding videos for over a year.

[@leavesleyaviation]

Thank you pal.

[@thallikar]

The best kiting training video! Thanks!

[@leavesleyaviation]

Thanks and welcome buddy.👍🪂

[@coolguy21420]

What a great video!! I loved the repetition. I just ordered my first wing and I’m very excited to get started!!

[@propfrei-ultraleichtfliege7078]

Wow, these videos are just fantastic! Not only are you showing how to do everything correctly while explaining it very concisely, all the little tipps and tricks you insert here and there are also amazingly useful. I can only imagine how much work this all must have been, so thank you very much for your dedication to teaching and the sport. I am an ultralight pilot currently learning paragliding and I am trying to at least groundhandle a bit and practice until the training courses can contine as usual. This has helped me immensely! 👍

[@leavesleyaviation]

Thank you very much buddy.👊👍🪂

[@DarrellMalick]

Very great - thank you Marc

[@SushantKambli1]

You made it ver simple to understand. Thanks

[@rovpilot1]

May thank you for this amazing instruction. Yesterday I made my first 2 flights here in Portugal, and during the ground handling training I had a difficult time to control the glider. Your video gave me so much more insights, thank you

[@leavesleyaviation]

Thats great news and well done on your first flights.👍🙏🪂

[@AdiAsaf]

Once and for all an accurate and stairt to the point demo of reverse launching. Never cease to amaze me how many instructors make it so much completed. Flying is relatively easy, a good grasp of ground handling is 80% of the game

[@leavesleyaviation]

Hehe thanks man 👍👊🪂❤️

[@CanalEdusteppenwolf]

Thanks so much. Excellent video.

Very informative an useful video for me as a beginner, will practice your teachings at the first good windy day waiting for. Thank you very much.

[@majesty154]

Excellent!

[@revor37]

After watching this, I'm going back to wing-facing hook in. I was taught the "back to the wing/over the shoulder hook-in" method and both will work, but one reduces risk of being caught by surprise and getting dragged........thank you for all of these wonderfully clear instructional vids Marc.

[@leavesleyaviation]

Thanks for the message, new video coming real soon.

[@awmarenthlei17]

You're just Awesome!! That Re-deploying wing after a break is 🔥

[@leavesleyaviation]

🙏

[@johnwallington7706]

I am a complete beginner. Just recently started ground handling at the beach after watching this terrific video and following Marks suggestions. This video has been responsible for getting my training wing up into the air above my head this afternoon (after spending a fair bit of time building a wall and playing with brakes and risers as Mark suggests) - much to my surprise - admittedly after a little fluffing about and pulling the wrong riser/brake numerous times! So great to see my wing overhead and actually flying. I don't think I've come across a clearer, more detailed video for a raw beginner - and I've watched many. So a a HUGE thank you Mark and Sian from this trainee PG pilot for literally getting my wing into the air! Thank you both for your great work with these super clear videos.

[@leavesleyaviation]

Heah thats really great John and well done to you, you need to get booked in with us and lets get you sorted asap.🪂🪂🪂

I am about to start my paramotoring training and this video has fantastic tips and tutorials for ground handling, especially the "reverse launch". So simple yet not confusing way of going about it. Can't wait to get my wing and start practicing ground handling.

What a thorough explanation of manipulating a kite!! So glass to have found this channel!

[@leavesleyaviation]

Thanks very much.👍🪂

[@MrKbtor2]

Man! I wish I watched this a long time ago. I struggled to understand how to grab the brakes getting into the reverse launch configuration with the result being a clean config when I spin around. No instructor could understand my concern. They just basically gave me the attitude to just grab the damn things and stop overthinking it! Now I feel more confident and safe.

[@leavesleyaviation]

Well thats great news your getting there now buddy.🙏🪂👍

[@dagobb]

I’m amazed how you explain it in so many details and yet so easy to understand! I wish I an find a tutor like you around here! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

[@davewolfe5169]

Thank you very helpful

[@Cyberevolution]

There are so many different methods and websites to look for weather before flying. Can you please create a very simplified method how a newbie can review weather? Covering - paragliding maps free vs commercial websites and merits/demerits what all to check (direction of wind, knots, any other things) Lastly providing some readymade checklist for beginner pilots to start with?

[@leavesleyaviation]

There is no simple way at looking at just one weather site really, I check 4 or 5 each day for my students and try to build a picture myself for the following day. Were also lucky to have a weather stn on top of one of our best hills that gives wind speed and direction with a camera too. A big thing to remember is most weather sites wind speed is at sea level NOT hill level so you need to work out the height of your hill and get some practise in knowing how much to add to the forecast, ie when my local area forecasts say 10mph I double it and this is roughly what it will be on the hill top.

[@Lionheartsm]

Amazing videos very helpful.

[@szymonfeliks]

[@Jmfufghf]

Really good tip for the ground roll control. That's something I often would get mixed up in my head and the way you explain it makes it really easy, move to the right pull to the right

[@leavesleyaviation]

That’s it, simple as thats mate.👍🪂

[@lieblingmike]

Yes, when facing the wing on reverse launch. When facing forwards you pull the brake under the high side, as Marc demonstrates.

Thank you very much ! Your explanations are very clear (the : go to you wing where it rolls and break with the same arm is very intuitive!), and I like that you repeat the important parts - as a beginner I often struggle to remember all these new informations, and my instructors seem to think that once or twice are enough ;) You just got a new subscriber from Switzerland !

Thanks pal.🙏🪂

[@riconjos]

Very clear, excellent video! You are a good man! Suggestion: assuming strong wind conditions…when going to take “an hour break”, perhaps it would be a good practice to put the other tip of the wing under the other tip (the one you already had folded in your video) and the harness on top of both of them, in case the strong wind changes direction during your brake. I started to see your videos today and am a new subscriber. Thank you for your videos!
