Not at all, felt very confident thermalling. I think the higher wing loading increases feedback and handling, particularly in the stronger conditions. Maybe lost a bit on glide but I did well in the comp so it cant have been too bad.
Its a 24m Aspen 2, flown about 5-10kg over the weight range. Ive seen a Golden sat quite nicely so not sure why your getting a lower wt collapse. Maybe post a question on the paragliding forum, I'm sure someone will have some suggestions. Happy flying :-)
I wish I could get back in 2008 but credit card debt combined with a full time uni course isnt helping, hehe. Planning to get money together and be there in 2009 ! so far away :-(
From memory that was Carl (wrong spelling...). He was working at Maya Devi Village, training the birds to do parahawking. How did you know he is Irish ?!
Glad ya liked it :-) I used a mini DV camera with a AV input and pluged a bullet camera into the AV input. The bullet camera was bought through RF concepts (check out their webpage).
Excellent videos Justin, perfect! I got to get the GoPro your stuff is great! Pete

Nice Video!
Which glider is this? Is it the Aspen2 or the Aspen freestyle, or a Golden 2?
Because I tested the Golden 2 and i didn't get it SAT without a lower wingtip collapse.

Great flights and great video - well put together!
Any tips for Nepal as an independent traveler / pilot? Or do you think it's preferable to stick to the tour operators (at least as a <40h beginner)?
