WINGOVERS - #1 of 4 Paragliding Maneuver Pitfalls

[@milesritzmann7506]

You’re a natural teacher brother. To explain a feel is an art. Your “pump pump” on the outside feel is a perfect example of you putting a “feel” into words. Keep it up

[@turkeyphant]

This is so much more useful than other tutorials I've seen, thanks.

[@DarrellMalick]

This was very helpful. My wingovers are simply terrible - collapses and cravats... Your final advice not to go from 2 to 10 is what I needed to hear most, Thank you.

[@jonaspeters8648]

After 19 years of flying I am impressed! Very good video. Thanks a lot

[@cloudkicker9593]

This video could save a life. Thank you!

[@harryhawk7700]

Great video on wingovers , pilots dont realise that it can all go horribly wrong very quickly if you don't keep the pressure in the outside.

[@orantesde]

Wow!!! What a great video, one of the best about wingovers I seen, the 4 videos are very good, thanks for sharing your wisdom, I will be waiting more videos, greetings from Guatemala

[@Benito20242]

Thank you for posting new pilot in Lima Peru super happy to learn this I hope to come visit Utah with you guys keep the passion burning 🦅

[@DuttonWebb]

Good content and fun to watch. I can't wait for a dozen years from now where this actually means anything substantial to me ;D I booked training for March 2020

[@niconico3907]

Hi, you will improve in the sport quicker than you think. It depends how many hours/fligts you do, not the years. You could start doing small wing overs in a year or 2.

[@lashley370z]

Thank you for helping the community. As a new pilot, I really appreciate videos like this.

[@momobadilak]

I love your use of props in these vids

[@PPGExplorer]

So valuable for a newer pilot. I have to get out to Utah! Thank you.

[@NCPPGpilot]

I really appreciate all this Chris. Good stuff!

[@577buttfan]

Yeah,best I found so far Tone!!

[@DellSchanze]

I've found teaching people mastery of direction, pitch and loading control before they leave the ground allows them to simply react to these things instinctively in the air.

[@robertminions3007]

It is good to see dell starting to play nice. Most of his comments are negative, bashing, religious, and some element of sales. I've seen a few normal comments from him now.looks good on you dell

[@karlmander5031]

I've been flying since 2006 and I'm constantly looking to improve my technique, thanks for video it's given me new ideas.

[@TLSMatt]

Thank you. So we’ll explained. Finally understand what’s going on in this manoeuvres. The for putting this together

[@JohnUllrey]

Really good info, thank you for taking the time to put this together.

[@Hemersonr]

Great tips and tricks even for a weekend pilot... thanks for sharing

[@slodays1158]

Very informative! Met you at the Palm Bay Fly in. "The guy with the yeti cross reserve". I'm just putting my toe in the water with this. The main reason is as you mentioned, confidence to make quick directional change to avoid someone or something. Secondary is fun. Awesome video! Subbed.

[@stephenchidley6180]

Excellent video, thank you.

[@swthpawfraser]

Really good timing on these videos. Good to get a break down.

[@Flyswamper]

Absolutely great video. Just what I needed to hear I think. Thanks Chris.

[@MrGlenovitch]

Great explanation. Thank you🙌

[@AriintheAir]

Chris, when I'm going absolutely gigantic, should I still be waiting till the bottom of the pendulum to shift my weight?

[@XC_Tom]

So everybody has his own techniques and what Chris said is not wrong. I just tell now how I do em and tips that helped me learning it. When you're under the wing most people only think about pitch = 0° but actually you should really be under the wing and that means also roll = 0° when pitch is 0° So just try to use the weight shift as strong and early as needed to achieve that. And try to point the nose fast into the direction you're "falling" after the highest point so >>the dive is straight and with little brake as possible

[@b_o_d_h_i_s_a_t_t_v_a]

Terrific explanations... i appreciate the wisdom.... go from a 2 to a 3... not from a 2 to -9.8m/s

[@paraglidingtalk]

Great lesson! Thanks for posting this. Have a great day!

[@ihradis]

I find the timing given in the video to be weird (late). I weight shift right after the top of the pendulum as I start swinging back under the wing, and I start pulling the inside brake somewhere around the bottom of the pendulum (while changing the timing slightly to gain or reduce energy). kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH_FdIuAlNGMidU I agree with the need of slow progression. At the beginning I would not guess how many repetitions I would need to gain the feeling and coordination needed for decent wingovers. And now I start really slow each time I have even a short break in my flying. On that note, I would say: don't go over water with supervision to train. Rather find good thermic mountain, climb high, fly forward, practictice wingovers, fly back, climb and repeat till the end of the day. Or find some good laminar ridge lift and paractice continuously. I would say that the time spent practicing and slow progression are more important than water and supervision.

[@glidewillie5767]

Is it ok to go from a 3 to a 10?

[@SharkyintheSky]

What trim setting would you suggest for doing high wingovers leading up to and including Barrel Rolls?

[@abbott876]

Great Videos Chis, really enjoying this.

[@kylefitzgerald1870]

Wow! Great video, thank you. I definitely understand now how important it is to take steps one at a time. I have had a tendency to want to go from a two to a 10 in daily life. I know that cannot be tolerated in this sport. It’s a good discipline to keep me on an even keel. Maybe someday I’ll get training on maneuvers, right now I’m focusing on take offs and landings. Cheers.

[@ChrisSantacroce]

Kyle Fitzgerald Thanks so much for the message and happy to help. Keep us posted on your progress.

[@paramotordudes5426]

Great video and very informative 👌

[@VARocketry]

Chris: It looks in the video that you're moving your hips, aggressively, to the outside of the turn while turning your shoulders to the side where you;re applying brakes. Am I seeing this correctly? Or are you showing us a hip turn into the turn side that is hard to demonstrate standing up? Please advise.

[@SuperFlyParaglidingSchool]

VARocketry Love to talk about this stuff - can you tell me where in the video exactly you’re referring to minutes and seconds?

[@VARocketry]

@@SuperFlyParaglidingSchool Chris. Thanks. I was referring to 6:40, 6:52, 7:08, 7:16. Upon another view, it seems clear you're showing hip roll to the inside, It just appeared it was moving out the other side toward the camera.

[@SuperFlyParaglidingSchool]

VARocketry any chance you can rephrase your question - it’s hard to talk about because the low side is becoming the high side and back and forth. Let me know.

[@dougbarlow7483]

Im back! After watching several videos, happy to have you solidify all the different variable and how to make it fun and safe #steviewondereyes

[@EPH620]

❤wow great stuff thx Cisco

[@roykygar4960]

Always good stuff Chris! 👍

[@paramotordudes5426]

Great advice 👍

[@andresferreira452]

Weight shift at the bottom of the pendulum? for sure? 😯🤨

[@BobNL1964]

Yes, Like on a swing 👍

[@andresferreira452]

Bob, that is exactly the opposite of what every tutorial in the web explains. Master Acro series from Pal Takats has a very detailed explanation of this maneuver

[@pacmanflys]

New sub, Steve Packard. Excellent video

[@ANNAI89]

Thanks for posting👍👍Great video

[@carlcolorado3549]

Love videos like this.

[@phoenixreimagined]

Great stuff!!

[@ripmanridin7092]

Great info!...........................subbed!

[@RobinHagg]

Young Bruce Willis?

[@Bob_just_Bob]

Ha Ha Harry Potter is flying my Advance Alpha 7, same color scheme!

[@johnathanball3344]

One word. Scaremonger!

[@michaetsully87]

All I can think about is the 150,000 dollars in paragliders behind chris.

[@lobbyrobby]

Harry potter needs to find a new way to tie into his wing. That way looks hard to breathe

[@paragliding-tshirt8791]

Great :D
