speed flying mistakes

[@win4me320]

Obviously no prior paragliding experience. These types of mistakes never happen, especially so many if you have received a paragliding license. Man, I admire your determination though as you plowed through the falls. Glad you survived...Amazing!

[@uncleswell]

I remember these days. There is a difference between stupidity and self-teaching/pioneership. This guy is a pioneer. Say what you will about proper education, but when done right, there is nothing like flirting with death on a regular basis in order to achieve a successful flight in a single-place aircraft. Yes it's way more dangerous... but it's worth the payoff to look back on what an an incredible feat you've accomplished by trial and error. Long live the pioneers.

[@prodtz]

come on guys stop complaining!! awesome compilation. i bet this guy has more experience now than 90% of the pilots out there that fly twice a year in supercalm conditions... the important thing is that you learn from your mistakes and understand what you have done wrong.

[@MarosVice908]

thank you for sharing! :) a lot of people show only their succses, and not their mistakes. it was a good video for learning!

[@patrickswayze2596]

Martin Osvold sorry but this video only shows how advancing to such a small wing with no experience is in fact both dangerous and deadly! Go to a proper flying school and start on a bigger wing with more lift and allow time and patience to be your friend instead of jumping straight into such a dangerously small wing! No gloves, knee or leg protection? No experience? No sense at all! This is like someone doing their B-rels in skydiving going BASE jumping with no help or experience and hoping they don’t splat! Not a good video to watch, very sketchy and still can’t believe he had no protective gear on!

[@crossleyr]

@@patrickswayze2596 Hi Patrick, That was my first thought, learn to fly a bigger wing first, and only move to a smaller glider, once you have mastered the basic skills.

[@patrickswayze2596]

Richard Crossley absolutely my friend! It took me over a year of flying several times per week with many hours behind me before I even jumped on a 22m speed wing, down to an 18, then I eventually made my way down to a mini wing and into speed flying. I started skydived at 17, and close to 20 years before I got into Paragliging, but aviation has always been a huge part of mine and my families lives, hence why I use this dummy account when just cruising through KZbin because certain people can’t handle certain comments even when they’re non aggressive or they feel the need to argue a point regardless of their knowledge or skills or if they even fly! I take my kids flying with me almost every week weather permitting obviously, but when people see a five year old (now), he was three when he first started flying with me, and my 11YO step daughter also, they feel the need to point out how irresponsible I am and what a horrible human being I am and so on, but I’d never jeopardise my children’s or any tandem passengers lives ever! But speed flying especially on mini wings takes time and patience as your skills and experience develops, and I’m glad there’s at least one person out there as sensible and smart enough to know the difference between stupidity and common sense... Blue skies my friend 👊🏼

[@matleyo]

Is this serious? Normal people stop after two accidents like this. One advise: go to a flying school and get a bigger wing (like nova swoop 16 sqm). Still go fast but a bit more lift at the take of. With speed flying it is NEVER too steep, but you have to do it right ;-)

[@Gopnikoptik]

Dont Even listen to those , keep going dude! You ll make it

[@trevormackowski9046]

Same wing awesome can't wait to do this

[@KatrinaMess]

I was planning on going to school for this... But I think I'll bring my leg amour just 'cos any new sport, you fall down at least once. I like what's left of my knees. And thanks for posting. All the other vids look so easy this is good to see.

[@cheyno237]

You deserve a Darwin award my friend

[@rudysmd7350]

Number 11 : You still alive..amazing 100% lucky man..

[@FREEDOMCONSERVATION]

Thanks for posting this video, good for learning.

[@StefanH26]

ich hoffe ich seh in einigen jahren auch noch videos von dir...pass auf auf dich...da sind einige sachen dabei die schon bedenklich sind!

[@jeanremc]

I love the attitude, but I' m not sure speedflying is a sport were being bold is good. A small mistake nearly killed me last winter (luckily I crashed in deep snow). So I would add in the rules for succes: "don't count too much on your luck" (obviously applies for me too) wich translates into: "be focused" and "don't go if you have a doubt". Have fun, take care and thanks for sharing the videos.

[@IHaulBoxes]

Haha awesome video! Can't stop laughing... Been through all of this with my old paraglide canopy xD

[@best.paragliding]

Its like my first season of paragliding! :-D

[@edgereport]

Thanks for sharing! good tips! A+ for effort!!!!

[@kocot.]

Haha, respect and thanks for poosting, but I'd name half of the mistakes: lack of wing handling skills, esp ground handling and lack of control during the start. With such small and low allongement canopies there is really a lot you can do to bring it back above the head during the take off, there are also some really efficient ways to start with tailwind. It's all about training though :) Make sure you dont use any cliff-take off until you perfect it :P

[@kc22in]

How did you survive?

[@ivo.d]

and that just one season ^^ that reassures me >< you might have the greatest crash ratio of all time ^^

[@jagga1995]

What was the mistake by part nine ? I don't get it ... was it the cruising altitude ? Lg Jagga1995

[@AdamGoodsellOfficial]

I've watched this like 10 times now. Are you still alive?

[@KissTheSkyFoundation]

TruckeeDaveRealtor I learned to hang glide in the Truckee area 30 years ago. Still flyin'...

[@spiraldive2]

Launching with a tailwind will vet you killed. One word applies here: "training". Teaching yourself always ends painfully. good to see you got it right end the end.

[@Kevin_Geard]

Man he sure persevered with the game way longer than some would. Reward at the end.

[@berdsker]

I didn't understand Mistake 8. What's that?

[@SkyGalka]

love this video. reminds me to my own speedflying-fails :D

[@antonrudenham3259]

Go for it dude,even an Eagle can't fly until it tries.

[@SineEyed]

Damn, #8 sounded like it hurt.. 😬

[@MeditationProfondeS]

Dude how do you learn speedflying ?

[@Markhere1001]

Give up before it's too late !!!

[@florian399]

hahaha

[@ChrisJones-rd4wb]

No

[@MessengerOfDestruction]

Awesome video.

[@SuperYellowsubmarin]

Still, making mistakes is the best way to learn ... Better be small mistakes, that's all !

[@jeanremc]

On the other hand, if you doubt too much, you'll never go...So prodtz is probably right: Go man, GO! : )

[@treaser2]

Really good video! Thanks a lot!=D

[@MrMountain707]

I cannot believe you have had this many crashes lol

[@jeffturner2693]

are you still alive??;-)

[@transcendtravel]

Take some lessons before you hurt yourself further

[@parabike]

demagu is right - I don't even fly my regular glider without gloves! And my flying suit isn't there to keep me warm - it's for protection against all that vegetation!

[@thibaudmonney4513]

When you make your landing in the trees, do you go check your paraglider....? You are a lucky boy be careful....

[@Dan_Ohhh]

That guy was having trouble just kiting the wing, he’s nowhere near ready to speedfly! If you can’t launch a speedwing that’s the wing telling you you’re not ready cus these little ones end badly, you hurt more than your pride

[@amseez]

Mistake 7 still to come

[@parabros8706]

du hattest wohl einen schweren start beim speedflying ... ;)

[@maskombat4171]

And only one piece of advice....ware your metal plate on ass at all time....you never know when you will need it!!! Just kidding mate nice tips and keep flying with smile ;)

[@i0.0t]

Still, the hardest part of the hobby is walking back up...

[@mjongerh]

i see lot of talent in here.

[@TODAY-kc5jk]

Failure may be fatal. So, if you are going to make a hook-turn on final, at least make it a good show!

[@cellolurver]

Mistake 11, two #6 and no #7

[@jeremy74140]

dangerous experience!!!

[@tombelgrano]

Wow.... Try launching without holding the As, just brakes and both risers over your arms, the tugging on the a's as you run combined with various other mistakes is resulting in the inconsistent inflation. The other stuff should never happen...

[@errlvapers]

tail wind launch? haha not many have to learn that one the hard way

[@seweryn_sobczak]

Wing for sale, crispy new No dust, no siv, no trees, no water 🤪🔥

[@FrenchyvisionHQ]

How about taking up bowling instead?

[@serge470]

Dude you awesome!

[@enisidor5964]

I wonder how many of these will you survive? One thing is certain, you started on wrong foot.

[@dirtshaman]

You ever thought about taking up chess?

[@janosparag]

You should have flown with paragliders before so you'd be better at kiting and flying on a less risky way :)

[@floris.drevel]

maybe try tennis bro

[@StefanH26]

add: v.a. die aktion kurz vor der landung bei ca. 3:50

[@renehalper4713]

cool......

[@ChadVermillion]

Dude, I would say to practice, practice, practice but the way it's going that might kill you :- ) Just kidding, you will be awesome at it. I would however recommend always wearing pants. Rocks are not very forgiving when you botch a launch.

[@cczeroX]

I don't think flying of any kind is the right sport to learn from mistakes. :P But then, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger I guess...

[@MichaelMayr-Web]

Nobody is perfect.:-))

[@philonspeed]

Verlezt?

[@SM3535]

I would say, No don't learn from this, or the 1001 other mistakes it is possible to make. Stop watching videos and go and find a good qualified experienced instructor! It can save you so much pain grief and even death! All of these things are known, just not by you..

[@Lorenzo3372]

You can fly a paraglider, it's easyer ! And the fly is longer...

[@DarioFrigerioParapendio]

Please man... be carefull!

[@abdyify]

grassy ass ! made my day :D

[@uberdenwolken4564]

Yeah, never start at warm weather fronts... take the cold fronts..... dude, you have no clue what you are doing. Better get a license before you endanger some other people too!

[@DIEZWEIZOCKEN]

ende februar fährst mit auf die mölle hölle!!! üben üben üben

[@Markhere1001]

Give up before it's too

[@pecofly]

man get some flipping knee pads

[@ivo.d]

stop wearing short, start wearing gloves . Peace.

[@ivo.d]

and back protection of course.

[@0793650166]

This is so stupid. Why you haven't done any course first. Here in the swiss mountains we have excellent speed flying instructors. And all the wind things you should have learned while doing the paragliding licence. Ah ok you don't have any paragliding licence :-) Here in the swiss alps you do one mistake and then you are death!!

[@PedroLarroy]

reckless

[@spiraldive2]

get

[@andreassolbakken7116]

Shiit!

[@ChrisNiederkofler]

Ma Friend....please change sport...playing chess or golf..is better for your health..;)

[@davidvillalta263]

Worst filming ...
