You MUST KNOW this about 2-LINERS
Переглядів 9 тис.3 місяці тому
A paragliding video about 2-liner paragliders and the techniques that you have to use to fly them safely and avoid big collapses. 2-liners have extra long brake lines due to the fact that as you push speedbar, the glider hinges on the B's and the tail gets further from the pilot the more bar you push. This creates a slightly different hand position while you fly, and because the rear risers are...

sounds like there is no tradeoff so I'm asking, what's the tradeoff? :D
Hahahaha making me realize why Ive just started looking into paragliding 😊
Extraordinario consejo! Gracias
I will never fly in my lifetime , but, amazing explanation. Scary and thrilling at the same time. I wish I were younger.
May the Devine Spirit guide you on this journey brother . I am a 61 year old beginner , and I am very interested and will be following you on this journey . My hope is Love will surround us all .❤🙏🏻❤️
Fucking sand paper to my softest parts , I don’t want to hear this shit . Quit following you when you shared about that misfortunate person that lost his life , why ? All the wrong reasons I am sure . Horses taught me how to communicate with people . I am in training to paraglide , only twenty flights deep and $10.000 out of pocket .Why ? Honestly still not sure . I have quit drugs and alcohol and full time work to live this adventure ; ( and that still doesn’t satisfy my why ! Possibly the knock on the door of the reaper and prove I am not afraid , ( I probably am ) This Journey is thus far fulfilling and exciting and frustrating . Learning all things necessary is a challenge the weather and testing and reading are pushing boundaries I haven’t faced since failing High School . Examining myself and motivation is again new to me . As I push forward I will endeavor not to become callous to reality . And keep expanding my vision of love, empathy and passion for life . Jerry Lee .. P S thank you for sharing your experience !
Definitely works and good setup but not reliable in a long term (for competition).
……Jealous……….Cloud base at 13,000ft?? Here in the UK it is invariably 500ft and if you can fly ’far’ you are likely to end up in the sea!! 🤪🤣
I am new paraglider at 18 and got lucky to buy a 400 dollar ozone buzz z3 and have been inspired with your content since. Hopefully I can become as skilled as you and utilize the science of the air to become an even better pilot! I'm in Florida so my options for paragliding are mostly limited to groundhandling since I don't have a paramotor. But it's fine since I needed the months to learn groundhandling because I wouldn't be prepared for a motor back then
Ed Conover is such a great guy! I fly with him at my home sites, i got to fly with him at Woodrat last weekend. Such a good guy, and he has definitely taught me some things In my slow progression. Definitely great to be able to have mentors that are happy to help. And can explain things in a way that understands.
Where are you launching from on these flights? Also how do you get back? Hitchhike?
Where I live it’s fairly easy to hitchhike with a paraglider on your back. I think I have heard Ari say he usually has a retrieve driver.

Thank you for your service of putting this amazing comment on my videos! Keep going! There are like 150 that need you to spread the stoke!
@@AriintheAir Of course dude!!! It seriously is hilarious (not laughing at you, but with you). Its funny how everyone was wound up at you for it. To me, it should be in every video as a sign off or something. All in all, keep up your work/videos. You the man!
Nice flights! great views! and that speed bar sounds interesting. keep rocking sky homie!
KURU!!!! Thank you brother!!! Love you!
Hell ya, re-launch for the win. Chop that wood! Love hearing these highlights
Connor! I've been thinking about you! Update me via email bro!
11:18 mindset?
I think it fits pretty well yeah
"SELF ESTEEM!" jesus
I am not condoning self teaching but I am self taught, but I have an extensive background in BASE and HALO, but I am self taught on paragliding and paramotoring, I am still overly cautious about when, where, and how I fly.
Old video, but I still laughed my ass off.
Many wise words, thankyou.
You mention in first solution- "ringing the bell" ie. full brake pull.- but not which side. Maybe its obvious but do we assume that is TOWARD the SAME SIDE , in the direction of the cravat/ collapsed wing tip? it seemed like that (same side) based on your body language indicating right hand side to illustrate cravat and brake pull in video. One thing you didn't mention which i noticed during a recent significant cravat was how far away from the collapsed wing tip i had to lean and as a result how difficult was to pull the stabilio or reach the effected lineset to adjust. #1:Staying calm was certainly helpful. Same question for the spin/stall technique (around8:00) would you spin stall towards the already cravatted side as iI would've thought. or away from the cravat . You don't indicate direction, in either case. I would think it would be obvious (*towards cravat) )however just to be sure I'll ask the stupid question. Thank you for the clarification/ confirmation. *edit. you did say "same side "towards the end when describing the deliberate second assymetrical as a solution to collapse. edit* One thing i did do to solve my issue was dive the wing AWAY from the cravated side using weight shift on the inflated side and then reinflate the pressure across the wing span with inside brake (away from cravat) -worked like a charm. big sigh of relief. lol Great videos. appreciate your insight & enthusiasm. Thank you!
Anyone got this book by pdf 🙏🏻
Do you offer flying clinics there. I will be there in early September

I never did it need to know what to wear?I'm gonna do it in September.What do I need to do?I'm scared of water but my other partner and me gonna do this in morocco
Love the Infotainment here man! However I would like to add a little touch up. Injuries are only the result of a discrepancy in between workload and work capacity. Therefore an athlete that doesn't normally work out should maybe first work to a capacity of sustaining an hour in zone two, which is definitely not an easy task. only if that base is acquired i would recommend to slowly start dipping your toes into some zone four stuff as a intro into intensity and to see how your body reacts. a great start for someone would be the C25K program which gets you running for 5k straight pretty much without injury. Done that and still interested? Do the whole thing again this time with your pack! did that? your good to go for the advised above. in building true endurance I would go as far as to suggest an 80/20 split. where 80% of your workouts represent Zone two and 20% come in that zone four. That is if your goal is to become a beast, get absolutely gassed and remain injury free!
Great advise!
Jake should come to our Hike and Fly Race in July. Hatcher Pass, Alaska. It’s a great time.
I’m 55 and want to get into para motoring. Watching a lot of utube for a few months now. I kind of like this guy. I bought the seed a month ago…so hard without wind. I know that because on my third visit to a field I had a little wind and then I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. So exciting when that thing inflated and I started to see that I somewhat was controlling it.
Back to the Future! 😜
Let's fly in the Dolomites this September, we already know that it will be flyable! 😂
Escape and adventure for me. Cant say I have ever felt the need to impress anyone or seek approval. Unless there was money in it. Otherwise, no one cares. And neither should you.
I was flying up a cliff the other day much like that. All that I ever think is this is a ridiculous thing to be doing. You are right though. Nothing else I have tried has come close.
Amazing vidéo, one of the most interessting i've seen ! Could you please make more of them !!
Sure it’s a safety thing but that beeping kinda kill the vibe
IT indicates lifts, so no safty thing and for paraglider a nice Sound 😂
That beeping tells you that you are going up, so that beeping is the vibe and we love it!! It’s music to our ears. It gets stressful when it’s not beeping lol.
It’s funny how it’s annoying to everyone else, but to us it’s the best damn sound in the world 🤣
It’s music to my ears.
@@MattnUska yeah, everyone that sees my videos is like “what’s that annoying beeping?” And I love that sound
Love this format and content! More of this!
Where will this be? I'm in Italy from the 5th and hopefully flying col rodella for a couple of days. Would absolutely love this
We will be moving around the Dolomites depending on conditions. Would love to see you there!
I have the Impress 4 also and use similar packing method, ruling out the need for packing pillow, and wing is always connected to harness. Holding the A-lines and shaking the glider over concertina bag - I call it the Steve Ham method as he showed it to me. This aligns the leading edges well, although I always also gather them one by one. Furthermore, after concertina is closed, I place it so that the leading edges are against the back of the backpack as there's more padding, and a lump of human, so it's more protected, and it's more straight than the outer curved side of the backpack which is more exposed to the elements, hits and cuts. Cheers.
The final few bits of text get covered up by the Next Video recommendation, so: "Hope that helps! Its a paraglider, fly it and don't worry that much about your packjob. Trade it for experience by turning it to dust in the sky!"
Do you feel any responsibility for this because he was only a recreational snowboarder? I'm always concerned about pushing people too hard that really only want to be with friends and enjoy the day...
A mountain of responsibility 😮💨
So is there a time to quit paragliding? How would you know? When is it time to move on?
Great question. Only two ways to get out; quit or die. Id say plan on quitting! And keep asking yourself this question so you can figure it out for yourself.
@@AriintheAir What is your exit strategy?
Great Video Ari, keep them coming. Surely this is only specific to the High AR two liners, for instance, I've just changed from the Flow Fusion ( 6.35 AR ) to the new Gin Bonanza 3 ( 6.3 AR ) The bonanza as a two liner has less AR than the Fusion three liner, surely my brake travel is roughly the same as the span is similar, however, for the upper AR wings, Zeno - Zeolite - Peak 6 the brake travel will be longer because the span is bigger, or am I wrong 🫣
Nice video 🤩👍 I think there are *almost* as many ways of packing a glider, as there are pilots 🤣 Recently, I try to collapse my glider when I land, so that it's half on top of itself, wing-tip to wing-tip, lines inside, top-surface outermost. Then, I lay the concertina bag next to the wing-tips, and starting with the *uppermost tip*, arms stretched out, concertina it into the bag. The advantage is that the wing isn't dragged over the ground - only over itself. The disadvantage is that my arms aren't quite long enough to do it without the occasional bit of extra folding. 😂😂😂 Cheers buddie. 😁👍
Super good content, love it!
lot of knowledge. thanks a lot!
Great convo guys.
