Thank you very much, sir! I hope it helps your students!

Primož Kante muito obrigado 🙏 Vamos VOAR!!!!

Thank you!

thanks ;-)

Hey, I´m glad you like it. Fly safe!

Thanks! I'm glad you survived!

+Yoann Grudzien thanks! I definetely will do some more, in fact I already planned the next tutorial but right now i'm working and saving some money to be able to maintain this lifestyle.... Be patient 2017 will come some nice videos!

Thank You! I hope it´s helpful!

Thank you, John!

Thanks, and thank you very much for your input! I agree: if too heavy handed any stall practice can end horribly! It is a very delicate topic to talk about what method is better, I understand your point but it is only effective if you practice over water with rescue boat because even if it is only a simple fullstall there is still a lot to go wrong. I learned the exact same way I'm showing in the video and did around 150 prestalls before atempting my first backfly/fullstall.

Cr0way thanks! Fly safe!

Vielen Dank! Liebe Grüsse!

Merci Justin, I'm glad you like it. I intentionally didn't mention practicing over water because I think it is unnecessary and expensive. When you practice in this order and have enough altitude over the box (min. 300) you won't need any special environment.

Hey Samuel, I´m really glad you like it! Well, to answer your question: No, the purpose of those exercises were to prepare for a Fullstall. Pitch pendulum to get comfortable with the surge (fullstall exit), min. velocity to stabilize before stall, and last but not least stall point release shows you max. brake course. When you mastered those steps fullstalls and deepstalls will be easier and safer. Do you have a video of your stall training or maybe from that actual incident?

thanks!

Good question! It has to do with body symmetry and centrifugal force... ...when practicing stalls you have to make sure your body weight is symmetric, so when you accidentally start turning while stalling you will quickly realize that your hands/brakes are not even. Also if you start spinning for some reason and your legs are stretched out you increase the risk of riser twist because your body takes longer to follow the rotation of the wing. I´m happy that you enjoyed this little tutorial!

That absolutely makes sens, thanks again! By the way, I wonder if you ever realize how significant and remarkable your "little tutorial" is...? Stall for what I've experienced so far from interactions with other, ever quite experienced pilots, is ONLY some scary thing you better avoid by all means. You prove you can get familiar with it, control it and even... USE it for you advantage - this is bold! And I strongly believe there already are, or will be, human beings whose lives you've saved not being aware of it! I'm so happy I've come against this video. Thank God for you, man. :-) P.S. If you have some more of this kind of paragliding skill, just take your pain and record it and put it all on KZfaq, please!

Thank you! Yes I´m aware of the impact this video has, and that is why I did it in first place. For sure I have some ideas for the next video but what would you like to see next?

Man, I don't, know, maybe B'stall, collapses (frontal, partial), deep spiral, veeeery big "Big-ears", because I've heard they can be really big... Maybe how to safely land with strong wind which takes you even back against the ground... Maybe some tricks for ground-handling... Anything you are as good at as your are with stalls!. And I'm going to be honest; since I'm an enthusiast of ground-handling I'd LOVE to have some more detailed instructions on how to get into this "back-flight" when ground-handling the wing!!! That would be GREAT! ;-)

😊🙏

Thank you!

Vanleu mano!

I've read: exit the canopy first, follow sewing along the chord (shortest route). While falling put your hands in front. See where you're falling so it's easier to exit.

I´m glad you like it. I´m sorry, I can´t do that, I´m still figuring it out myself but check out DTacro´s channel kzfaq.info/get/bejne/edCAabqi35_VZX0.html&ab_channel=DTacro

martin Hi Martin, no it's not possible to do it on flat, you need a mountain/dune/hill and constant 15km/h wind blowing.

Thanks! Florianópolis 🇧🇷

martin i'm using the brakes

Thanks! I'm glad you like it!

Hey, the idea is to be as symmetric as possible and recognize the stall on the brake pressure while minimizing the risk by flying as as possible

@@MaxMartini22 you left out one word as()as possible. I'm at payload not a pilot. If I come in fast moving in a straight line add a 15 degree angle of incidence. I can throw the breaks down hard both hands as fast as possible. Instead of having a skillful transition like you do I want to have a transient like a math professor does. I'm going to have a football mouthpiece and as soon as I flare those brakes I'm going to hold them down no matter what. that's what the instructor said. He said that you had nothing to fear but fear itself at that point and if you held your hands down you would swing out and down and forward and you better be laying way out to get your legs under you so you don't land on your heels or your back. I think if you come in fast and you commit hard and quick and you bite your mouthpiece there will not be time for any asymmetry to occur. I like to stand up for the 100 ft and below. If you stand up it lowers the trim speed and tips the nose down. More tension on the lines too. I'm new at this I'm working on my ground handling and I'm scared shiftless of trying to do the pitch axis and the yaw axis, I think only the roll axis and and a mathematical transient flare hard is all I'm going to be able to do.

"Full Stall" is typically used in siv, where you fully dismount the wing, almost impossible to recover without stabilizing in a backfly first. A Stall by definition only means that the wing "stopped" producing lift. In paragliding we have many stall configurations for example pre-stall, deep-stall, etc.

@@MaxMartini22 Thank yoz Max, highly appreciated!

lpblewis As it shoots brake as hard as you can! Fly safe!

hey thank you for your request! I'm sorry but I am not experienced enough to do that... i have been speed flying for 1 year now and only at this same spot

one day maybe...I'll be waiting;)

Hi Peter. Nice video. A lot to learn though.

who?

+Max Martini you!

DieuwerF lol, no! hahaha

Yes! If you don't look at it, you won't be able to notice the little signs of behavior the wing shows. It is important though to check your altitude periodically!

@@MaxMartini22 2 years later I've done my first stalls and backfly (after SIV) :D will try the other exercises now

have fun!

Multirotor Go Florianópolis, Brazil

I thought it was my obsession with Brasil that made me think it was in Brasil :) happy to know I am not Crazy. You live there?

yeah, I do! Paradise for flying and surfing! :-)

I flew it with 90 kg take off weight, 15 kg over the limit. Flying like that you get more direct handling and the wing flies faster.

@@MaxMartini22 i'd recon this is something acro people do, but are you even an acro flyer? Im weighing 79kg, is a Bolero 5 S, M or L better for me? I think i want good "uptime" and good low altitude soaring on small hills.

@@MaxMartini22 Thanks for your answer Max, my flight trainer and all friends strongly disapprove such behavior. Isn't it extremely uncautious to topple the manafacturers limits? I don't know if you use if for acro, but if you don't i hope i can learn from your insights. Your last statement didn't fully convince me yet.

Every paraglider, that is certified with EN or DHV, is designed to withstand up to 8 times the maximum load. So flying it 15 kg over the top won´t influence the structural integrity of the wing, although it will change completely the behavior, which is not recommended for rookies and beginners!

@@MaxMartini22 I appreciate your input a lot as I see other people look up to you as their role-model. I feel very confused in my research about a clever way of progressing in this sport. I feel like I will be flying A LOT more than most people who have little time, so I wonder what the right Glider could be for me? My job doesn't make a lot of money and thus I fear being stuck with a "lame duck beginner Glider" for many years. Is this something to be worried about? At this point, I think I should get a S-sized wing, so I end up close to the maximum weight. Can you name three models you think are appropiate for me?
