What is Paragliding

Nestled in the Swiss Alps, the geography and climate make it possible to paraglide all year long in Vercorin. Which is why the tiny village in Switzerland is known as a paraglider’s paradise. Some people even commute to work attached to their gliders. We take to the sky with local resident Marie Glassey and her dog/co-pilot Maya to see why this form of transportation and recreation is so popular. #Paraglide #Switzerland #Commute SUBSCRIBE: https://goo.gl/vR6Acb This story is a part of our Human Condition series.

One flight with team freestyle shot from a tandem close up with super slow motion pictures.

I wanted to fly with my favorite couch while paragliding in the sky of Fethiye, Turkey . I took living room in the sky showing everyone how to become a flying couch potato II En sevdiğim koltuğumu yamaçparaşütüme bağlayıp uçmak istedim. Evimin salonunu Gökyüzüne taşıdım ve aslında kendime uçan bir salon yaptım. Konfor alanımı, uçan koltuk ve televizyon ile birlikte bir salon takımı yaratarak, en sevdiğim yer olan gökyüzüne taşıdım. II I moved my comfort zone to my favorite place, to the sky, by creating a living room set with a flying couch and television set. "Merhaba, dostlar! 🪂 Ben Hasan Kaval.

In this video I will explain how to launch a paraglider in the forward launch configuration. Watch this and learn the easy way how to forward launch a paraglider. Beginner or advanced, knowing how to launch a paraglider the right way, is very important for every pilot. Here are the steps you need to follow for a successful paraglider launch. #Paraglidertips #Paragliding101 #Paraglidinglaunch Forward launching your paraglider is the first way you are going to learn in the flying school. The whole secret is in your body movements. Here is a list of the steps you need to take in consideration when you do a forward launch: Steps 1. Spread your wing neatly on the ground. Wide and open! 2. Check your lines and untangle them if needed. 3. Make sure to position yourself in the middle of your glider. This is going to help you to achieve a symetrical rising of your wing when you launch. 4. Pay attention at the right locking of your risers in through the carabiners. 5. If strong wind - weak impulse; If weak wing - strong impulse 6. When you start running and you slowly bring the glider over your head, pull the wing with your body, hips, shoulders. Do not pull with your hands on the risers. 7. When the paraglider is almost over your head, continue walking fast use the breaks, stop it over your head, stabilize, check the wing and the lines and once everything is ok, you can accelerate and take off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timestamps 0:00 Intro 0:52 Prepare your wing 2:24 How to attach the risers 4:37 Explaining running and launching technique 6:54 Correct launching 7:41 Launching in Slow Motion 8:05 Different launches 8:48 Outro ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IF YOU CLICK HERE, YOU ARE AWESOME! https://www.youtube.com/c/DragosTeodorascu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out my Playlists!
