Paragliding low save. Tim Carr finds a powerfull thermal to base. 6ms

10km into a FAI triangle and doomed to land? Then i found a good thermal to base with even some 8ms climbs thrown in!

wowow lovely technique on display. 10m above the ridge at the early part. Awesome to hear that sound too

[@NoMatterDesign]

I wish my sailplane could thermal that tight :D The sound of the vario gives me goosebumps. The sound of happiness!...

[@richardinspain2255]

Bloody marvellous...watching every move you make! Well done.

[@ShobhitGupta12]

Beautiful. Definitely the best of the low saves I have come across on KZbin.

[@rpresatome]

Amazing! 3.500 mts up in the same thermal! From 875 to 4.450.- mts! Congratulations for this flight, Tim!

[@TimCarr]

Was 9m/s second climb at times which is not all that common in the UK. Base was 4500ft pretty much as usual here. But my reason for posting it was for not giving up on the low save...

[@waylingtons]

Awesome to watch. Can’t wait to be back practicing my thermal flying.

[@davids7815]

Fantastic! I've not flown since the mid 90's but to watch this brings it all back. Goosebumps an' all. I know that feeling all too well when you think it's all over and then, the concentration in working at it to bring it back to 'base. Plus, I live near there now so what a bonus. Epic!!

[@Davidslik1979]

Big love to you from israel one if the most the best video in the youtube paraglider history ..for the beginer you can see how to find a termic whit out words bravo thenx verry mutsh god blass you

[@JasonAndrewsUK]

That was a belted, the vario was going nuts!

[@minotsminots]

I thought it couldn't be saved but magical pilot saved it. Super videooo

[@ScreamingElectron]

So lucky. Can't wait to hook into one like this!

[@koprzazemi2375]

Thnx for sharing!

[@sandysteve97]

what a corker nice flying mate

[@TimCarr]

Cheers Steve

[@vuela_vuela]

Very good, congratulations ¡¡¡

[@MandolinSunrise]

Great vid, nice to see you clinging on till the last moment, well done. I’m guessing your heading is about west with descending ground below and a head wind when you catch the small bump from the farm house and then the boomer from the wind shadow/sunny side of those trees with the town in front?

[@KilkennyLights]

Beautiful Low save. Love it. How is visability on the samsung. with sunshine. Nice Video. No Music. Love the sound of the Vario... Beautiful flying

[@TimCarr]

Mr Tidy , Thank you. Samsung tab s is great, perfect as long as it's set to full brightness and pointing at you. very cool with xc soar. My video 100 house to the coast has a few clips of the Tab. We use it in the airplane too. Tab S2 about now...

[@parakotopezzz]

Фантастика! Завидую!

[@HeartPumper]

Sweet!! So what could be the source? Nearby city/buildings or 'calm' field behind that forest directly under?

[@brunojacq5473]

It's funny because I would have turned before the first green field. One turn to make a try. And then above the house... But you were right.

[@joeldossantos4350]

Parabéns muito boa performance! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@richardsundin8314]

Very nice!!! I really like that harness. What brand is it?

[@dudekerel7423]

You should be looking to the inside of your turn. Always look where you go

[@soaring138]

That's the best of Paragliding: a really LOW save ! But I think, that you could better keep in the center of the thermal if you tight your turn. In a strong thermal, a wing with a 45° angle in the turn is not bad !And already at 02:58 you could turn tight ! ... maybe it helps. Cheers

[@TimCarr]

Sometimes i crank it but that day I was taking it easy as the thermals were far apart but long lasting!

[@onyxnorbert]

Hi , nice fly !! What program do you use on tablet ? Thanks

[@TimCarr]

xcsoar its free!

[@Hemersonr]

What a nice low save.... you drifted a lot... i was thinking about what did you consider in order to choose the moment to start circling... you passed few bubbles in the way... thanks for sharing

[@TimCarr]

4 second count in something worth turning in! i often turn to early and miss the actual thermal. i think with the shadow had to be a thermal. It was a unstable day and the air was freezing!

[@Hemersonr]

@@TimCarr i see... thanks

[@MrMikedykes]

Nice low save!! I thought about using a tablet like that but wasn't sure how to fasten it to my flight deck, how is yours attached?

[@TimCarr]

Soft case and self-adhesive velcro

[@TimCarr]

Have a look at my other vid Hundred house to the coast and you can see a good view of the tablet a Samsung Tab S

[@maohuang332]

Literally pron for paragliding pilots

[@chrisengelbrecht1839]

Tablet app?

[@HeartPumper]

My bet: XCsoar.

[@TimCarr]

yes xc soar

[@keawewong6110]

Com'n! Don't speed up the clip. I want to hear how you core the thermal :-)
