Ground launching and hill swooping learning curve

This is a compilation of my learning curve, over a few years, of goung launching and hill spooping parachutes. It shows my novice friends, who had not done any parachuting also learning this sport.

Actually the green one is older than Saber ie f1-11 material, which sinks more and does not fly forward as fast, so very docile.

Saber ok, but get big size eg 230 light wind and gentle 45% slope

Saber is good for starting. brakes are good for starting, then rears later.

Nice video :), a copule of questions, What parachutes are you using for the beginners (Saber?) and also for ground handeling are you using breaks or rears?

thanks
