Paragliding ground practice following a break from flying, clip 1

Appreciate the video very much. Clears up more things for me. Thank you, Aidan; thank you, Murray.

I've never seen crap like this taught as instruction. How could the student ever expect to ground handle the wing properly under this kind of guidance?

My advice, find a real instructor!

big0chimp (from Canada) is clearly the sort of IDIOT whoose support helped the 'great and mighty' BHPA KILL SEVEN PG 'pilots' last year, including a student and some coaches....

So mR Ignorant Chimp... try to grasp the basic reasons why, Like this pilot, around 75% of my students come to me to RE-TRAIN, Often folowing accidents!

Simon a RE-TRAINING pilot from Norway just left two days ago, after spending 10 days with me (7 flying days) and is already planing his next visit :-)

Interesting to contrast this with the later clip that day. Following my accident, this spot was scary to me, my anxiety shows still I guess. That said, less tendancy to try hauling on with the A's, better use of the harness. Think I was held back by fear here. Close instruction from MH was the only way.

Instead of giving him to create a picture in his head from your words, maybe you should have showed him the basic moves? Bouncing, turning, pulling brakes, letting go of the A-risers and such.

Hi PM

As per your comment that has been done already... both when he first came to me following training abroad and also earlier that afternoon, first at the inland thermic/ridge lift site, and again at the main dune (seen here)...

This part of re-training was filmed with 'voice over' for Adian to review to see better (3rd person perspective) what is/is not working...
