Paragliding frontal landing training (bonus stall) - Ozone Zeolite

[@mauricekoller]

Quick explanation: This is the technique used by Chrigel and many others in the last Edition of the X-Alps. You basically initiate a (steep) turn (using brakes) towards the slope and push speedbar as soon as you start to dive. How much speedbar depends on the slope angle, how far you are away, etc. Just before hitting the slope you release the speedbar (how fast depends again on many factors) and thus start to climb parallel (if you're doing everything right) to the slope, pull your brakes and you're landed. I started practicing with snow and almost nullwind as well as flat slopes at first and then gradually went steeper. ‼️Please be very careful when practicing this maneuver because you can quite easily fuck this up real hard in the beginning. This is a very advanced technique and requires a good amount of experience and glider control‼️ Ps: Don't pay too much attention to the rear riser steering, I'm just using them for minor corrections (although it looked much more extreme), you definetly DON'T need them to execute the maneuver! If you use them pay attention to not stall your wing pulling them too deep which can happen quite easily depending on the glider and where you are in the maneuver‼️😬

Thanks for the explanation, it is very useful! Can you explain what are the point of doing this kind of landings? I mean I what situations should it be more useful a frontal landing than a normal one?

[@teddyruxpin3811]

@@emusxx with more speed you get more flare power for landing. so if you have a downwind landing or a steep uphill landing, you'll land softer.

Wenn man Gas gibt und dann die B so verkürzt, schränkst du den Aussenflügel ganz schön stark und das kostet Leistung. Wenn du die Höhe brauchst, ist es der falsche Weg. Wäre immer vorsichtig mit Gas und viel B ;-) Aber interessant wie du daraus bereits n guten Umgang entwickelt hast. Interessant!

Lovely landings and the practice looked great ..

[@para.k]

Wow I had a lot of questions about landing on the slopes these days, but I appreciate your simple and clear explanation of the key. I need to draw a virtual slope in the sky and practice it. Then I'll start with the flat slope as you say.🏔🪂 great video.

[@mauricekoller]

Thanks 😀

[@OliverStratmann]

Cooles Video! Da hat man was zum üben!🤙🏼👌🏼

[@mauricekoller]

Danke, da bin ich mal gespannt, hoffentlich dauerts nicht ewig bis normalität einkehrt 😬

[@TAPAKONUKI]

Beautiful mastery !!

[@mauricekoller]

Thanks!

[@Florentin-Parapente]

very nice :)

[@michelepalma9218]

Awesome montage. Would be pretty interesting to see a compilation of these landings aswell. During landing you always use the speedbar and rear risers to do minor corrections? I'm training flare landings and at the moment I'm only doing energic 90° turns and use that energy to do the final glide close to the ground. Mind that I currently fly a Base 2. Do you have any suggestions?

Shit's on fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@tonibecker9631]

Sehr schönes Video und richtig gute Fortschritte. 👍 Was Ich noch suche wäre das Chrigel Maurer Video, bei welchem er neben dem Wasserfall landet und Ich fast meinen Augen nicht trauen konnte... Kann es irgendwie nicht mehr finden... 😟 Hat das zufällig noch jemand?

[@mauricekoller]

Danke 💪🏽 Chrigel Video: facebook.com/TeamChrigelMaurer/videos/551514912254014/?extid=4JjUJA8WYqaa1uVV&d=null&vh=e

[@rockblog6047]

nice technique :-)

[@chrisberquist2916]

educate me. Why are you pulling on your right riser just before you land? To initiate a harder turn?

[@mauricekoller]

I wrote a quick explanaition and pinned it above, rear risers don't need to be used, I use the brakes to initiate the turn and the use my B risers for minor correction, but you definitely need to know how much rear riser you can pull at which speed and pitch to not stall your glider, better try it without them 😉 Maybe I can do a more detailed video when Corona is over since I haven't done too many attempts myself being grounded by Corona...

[@rhysfisher7063]

maurice koller yes please do. I think the volbiv pilots have this trick on their to learn list and let’s just say that XALPS examples are awesome, but hard to learn from. This was already very insightful. Thanks for sharing.

[@davidalhoff7190]

Nice, sieht gut aus. Übst du für xalps? Biste den LM7 nur mal kurz testgeflogen, oder schnell umgestiegen?

[@mauricekoller]

Ich trainiere in erster Linie um besser zu werden und nicht für einen konkreten Wettkampf 😉 Den LM7 und M7 bin ich "nur" Demo geflogen bis mein Zeolite da war, beides sehr schöne Schirme aber für mich kam nur ein X-Alps Schirm in Frage 😉

[@davidalhoff7190]

Danke für die Info. Die entscheidung zu meinem neuen hat mir die Zwangspause abgenommen. Häppieh Lähndings

[@rideyouradventure8349]

Training für ED 3? Cool wie du ihn vor dem beschleunigen noch flapst/bremst. Dann fährt er richtig schön an...

[@mauricekoller]

Training für alles, aber klar gerade für sowas schnell Mal nützlich 😉

[@mcbrite]

0:28 I know THAT sound! :D

[@parapentefun]

Sehr cool, du fliegst vom Lee an?

[@mauricekoller]

Servus, nein die meisten Landungen sind mit Rückenwind im Luv, genau deshalb fliegt man das dann so mit Beschleuniger an um die höhere Geschwindigkeit in Höhe umsetzen zu können und trotz Rückenwind relativ normal zu landen ;)

[@parapentefun]

@@mauricekoller danke :)
