Teaching new students the fundamentals of kiting a paraglider wing. Third party perspective video review is a strong tool when learning a technical activity such as golf, dancing, or ground handling a paraglider. Let me show you how we do it.

There is so much valuable information in this video and being able to actually see what's going on makes it even better! Thanks to all of your students that allowed their learning experience to be filmed. It's so cool to see those ah ha moments on people's faces when they finally get what you're trying to explain. As always thanks Kyle for taking the time to share this with us all. You do a great job of breaking stuff down so it can be understood easier.

Thanks for these videos explaining so much! I just had my 1st day of training and got to start the reverse kiting, but failed miserably. So thank you this is very helpful

You are very good at kiting and I am amazed that you can verbalize the correct instructions instantly even though the students cant process them due to overload. I can keep my wing up as long as it does not get too far off to one side. That's where I struggle. If I get too far off to one side, I cobra and stack the wing or it rolls onto the leading edge. I picked up from your video, that is common when you make mistakes and don't correct them. I need to spend more time kiting... Thanks for this!

This is GREAT content @Kyle O'Glee I've made every one of these mistakes at one point or another. The thing to remember is that the Right Toggle, ALWAYS affects the Right trailing edge of the wing. This will never change. The orientation of the pilot under the wing may change, but with the wing facing into the wind, (which is the critical point to understand) Right means Right, Left means Left. Once I understood that I had to look from the wing's perspective, it just clicked for me. I hope someone finds this useful. I'm not an instructor, but may get there one day.

Great stuff, Kyle! Can learn a lot watching this. It reminded me that my biggest problem was my brain doesn't work that fast - I'm always 1 or 2 steps behind the instructor's call mentally. I did all the wrong drugs ... and WAY too much of all of them. 🤣 I was a child of the 70's & 80's in the Northeast! If you lived through that, you'll live through anything, lol!😁 I did catch on eventually, so there's still a handful of functioning cells up there, lol. One year ago TODAY I started my first day of training with Rick in FL! I went from 28° with ice on my windshield to 91°, running with a wing 48 hours later! Was tough on the system that 1st day, but by the 2nd I was much better. Took my 1st flight 4 days later. Can't believe that was a year ago already! Where does the time go? Thank God I did it last year, and not this year with the fuel prices! I'd have been bankrupt before I even got there. I'm jealous of your weather - I saw it was in the 80's there yesterday! The high for us yesterday was 48°. :(

Got me some kitting in today. Got to play a little in thermal gusts. It was fun, especially when I got picked up about 5ft. I was hand kitting and training kicked in and I was able to put myself right back on the ground and lowered the wing to the ground. Had to readjust after the slight adrenaline rush.

Good Memories! I love ground handling! Looks to me that Riley is going to be a good pilot. He'll get it. :D Thanks for such an enjoyable video! Remember to bend those knees! That allows you to adjust the wing loading dynamically. Straight legs are poor form, and can get you hurt.

cheers kyle, i just finished my second PPG flight yesterday. and i failed the landing. video is up if you have a minute. so some of the local guys let my trimmers out 100%. i was on max speed and had to run like never before to take off. and while everybody came in for landing with 2km/h touching down like a fairy i came in like a comet from orbit. way too fast. didnt even try to stand the landing and crashed. can you please tell me which trim setting i need for a slower landing? trims doing very little when i do ground training with that wing. i flared yesterday but felt it was too fast anyway even i would pull brakes down to my ankles. my wing is slightly overloaded at 171kg. apco karisma pdf say 165kg max. wind was enough that i SHOULD have a very slow gentle landing. everybody else fly ozon wings there. i am the only muppet with APCO. i start to doubt myself. too heavy? wrong trimmer setting? should i land with trims all pulled in for slowest speed? opinions are going wide apart and i feel nobody actually know what he is talking about. some say trims must be all the way out for max speed. others say 50% is for best performance. and then some say pull trims all in for easiest launch and landing. i dont know what to believe anymore. apco manual says nothing helpful either about that. cheers from china.

Something that’s confusing me, do you pull the brake on the side that is high or the side that is low ? I’m assuming the high side so that the los side can catch up ?

Yep, high side pressure only.

@@kyleoglee Thanks. I’m completely new and it was a case of information and instruction overload yesterday so I just want to get it squared away in my mind. I was doing reverse kiting BTW. But looking a the leading edge as a reference is more obvious to me.

@@kyleoglee Thanks, I’m new to this and it was a case of instruction and information overload yesterday. Just want it squared away in my mind .I’m working towards Paraglider ratings so anything on kiting or wing control is really useful. Thanks for sharing. Am looking at A’s and C’s vs A’s and Brakes for control. Apparently newer winds are more powerful and A’s and C’s is becoming the new style. Thoughts ?
