Great video, was very interesting to watch, especially with the narration. Thanks!

Grande Joanna!

Thanks for the video! 8:42 - this shouldn't happen on entering the backfly. The trailing edge is flipped over here, so too much brake input. For a smooth backfly, the airflow must build up from the trailing edge. To achieve this, the trailing edge must be slightly bent down by the brakes (the so-called backfly hand position). If the pilot pulls on the brakes too much when catching the wingtips, the trailing edge flips over and the airflow cannot build up smoothly. This leads to the dancing wing and all those dynamic movements. Next time you practice full stalls, try to pay attention to this - make sure you keep a big part of the trailing edge open all the time. You'll be surprised how smooth you'll be going into the backfly. No stress, no shaking, not much effort required. Have fun with it! (You can check out a video "Full stall & back fly on a paraglider" on my channel if you want to see what I mean).

crazy

Wing overs ??

Nice work! It's always impressive to see the climb these winf gets exiting spiral! A little mistake I see on quick exit and might actually just be perspectives but it looks like you catch the wing before it goes above your head on the clip of your stong side. Idk if it is on purpose, perspective or actually different piloting "theorie / view" but from how I understand wing behaviour it is bad practice as the wing is pretty fragile as it might not have got enough energy back. (I mainly fly acro and miniwing atm and don't fly that high aspect ratio wing so maybe there's a reason^^')

You don't need to get stronger to stall your glider properly, its more about the position and movement of your hands and shoulders and the timing and momentum you create when entering a stall. You need to keep the shoulders back and the hands move down close along the risers. Your hands started moving outwards and away from your body which weakens your lever. When you start the maneuver you can take advantage of the swing you create while breaking (kind of like you are on swing). If you break in a stady movement and go down a bit further but not wait down there for so long you should be able to enter the stall more smoothly and the wingtips will not go back so far, which will make everything less agile. Also after catching the shoot of your wingtips you should release your hand almost completely again and than bring them down to your backfly position. Its basically a 3 stage maneuver: stall, catch wingtips, enter backfly. Hope that helps.

I feel like you could have waited a bit longer before hitting the brakes on the first exercise :) EDIT: Indeed it takes allot of power to intentionaly stall your wing. Even as a man I was supprised by how much I had to pull and wrap my brake lines.

Great editing, I just did a week at Annecy and it's an amazing place. Who did you take the lesson with?

I was 💩my pants on day one. How do you feel about SIV? (Note: after the course, we had a debrief and Seiko analyzed all the maneuvers using the videos, so I already got all the advice I need to improve)

Hola Joha! Alguna posibilidad que nos puedas compartir tu actual setup de instrumentos en el Navigator?

Wonderful! I am about to do my first mountain overnight and this was so helpful--I feel I can do it! Thanks!

great review, thanks! do you know if it is possible to couple this app with a bluetooth vario with fanet+ and get the fanet information displayed in the app?

Hi, thanks for the review! It would be actually nice to see how it looks in flight but I guess it would be more difficult to film... Something got me confused on an online shop selling this device, is the life subscription to SeeYou navigator included when you buy it? Is it possible to display the map of skyways / thermals like on flyxc while flying?

in Auszria you jeed a regulated starting piunt and landing area...yes, they all land out of the blue somewhere but actually it.s not always legal! in France itls free bcs nobody cares...in France a lot is legal whixh is illegal in Austria switzerland or Germany....you can nit simply start and land wherever you want...but i know outer landings are a regularity...kkkk just that thing is worthless, you can buy some Navi gos altimeter in one oack with updated data on a bigger screen for some 500,- upwards...and the sensors in your iphone are not really that good as in a well designed device...i looked for a simple gps with air space flight map...strangely nowhere to find! it should be possible the freely available online apcoa maps to combine with GPS data! and case closed...a skymmaster cists 1400 in 2024 !

any air space info? nope? then itls worthless bcs weather i see and places i get info from friends and online, the buggest issue is the airspaces! when this is nit on the map.then forget it

Te veo en SRS Spain!!!!

Perfectly timed video for me! Haven't been flying much since January as life and other hobbies have taken over and was starting to fall out of love. I had a short 30m flight yesterday and felt a little rusty but also reminded me how great if can feel when you're flying more and are more in tune with your wing. Hope to get out more this summer and get back into the flow! Hope you're also feeling back in love with it, sorry to hear that you were feeling low but I guess these ebbs and flows are all a part of it

Hi Joanna, thanks for the great review. I have a question about airspaces. Does it have them updated? Now Imagine you have an airspace that begins at 2000m and you fly at 1500m, so you haven't entered that airspace yet. But now you gain altitude and you hit 2000m, what happens then? How does it warn you? And last question: how do you deal with the screens when you have thick warm gloves? Thank you again!

How do you get to Le Sambuy launch now that the chair lift is closed ?

Great review thanks :) Is there a way to display a vertical slice of the airspace? Seing the restricted area vertically, terrain and current trajectory is very useful

Seems very pretty but does much less than XCGuide.

Hola Joanna no lo has hecho en español? Muy bonito

Nice video. Thx for the reminder. Been flying since 1997 . On and off a few times due to kids and family stuff. I must say that I totally agree with your assumption. Paragliding is just an amazing and beautiful way to experience nature at its best. I hate when people think we do this for the sake of an adrenaline kick. If they only knew what we know! :)

This is so important. The human condition has this strange thing, that we can soar for 20 minutes above beautiful landscape on a sunny day, land safely and all we feel is frustration over bombing out. Been there, done that many times myself. It helps appreciating what we can actually do, even when the results don't line up with the ambitions. I also often think back to one of the most beautiful moments of my life: The first proper mountain flight, a 10 minute sledder through calm air, landing with tears of joy.

Always inspiring Joanna. Thanks for your nice work

Plus bel endroit de la planète 🤫

Thank you 🙏

Will remember it, if I face it, ❤this video

Un vídeo muy inspirador y que invita a la reflexión...!💜💜💜 Muchas gracias ! Buenos vuelos🙏🪂🪂🪂

Fantástico vuelo. Felicitaciones y saludos desde Argentina. 👋👋👋

Wow! Beatiful video, beatiful music and beatiful pilot.

Saludos desde Tenerife, increible vuelo, increibles paisajes.....

Hii mam. Love the sports . I am from India . Please share the technique of landing in your videos. And other important experiences and learnings of your life. Love from India

I am still amazed of how much psychology is in this sport/passion. I started paragliding in 2011 and for 10 years could not go out of beginner level. At some point realized that fear is a limiting factor. Changed gear to safer one, approached fear in more systematic way and really start flying. This year get a great weather one day, 2000m above the ground, 50+ km FAI. Fantastic flight, views, satisfaction. I'am in love again!

Nice one Joanna, great views and thoughts :)

Great video, thanks Joanna!

What does the omni do that the app doesn’t? Thanks by the way for the review:)

Looks like you flew right over my village. I am an experienced skydiver and former instructor that just moved to Fretereve. I will be jumping at the aérodrome at Lac du Bourget this summer. Learning cross country parapont is my dream and looks like I am in the right place. There are so many schools between Chambéry and Ancey that I don't quite know where to look. Any suggestions?

nice good video thank you

Amazing video! Just what I was looking for! Trying to decide between the Ozone F*Lite 2 and the SkyWalk Sleeve. Ozone takes the Cake as far as being the lightest. But they say not to use the F*Lite 2 with a reserve attached to the soft maillons... Still have to ask them about that. I think as far as durability most string harness are going to have a shorter life span, but if taken care of can probity last for years of safe flying.

wow that is beautiful.. Fly safe

What mount system do you use for your 360 camera that's safe at takeoff? Thanks!

lovely video Joa (as always).. Is it possible to give some time indication? e.g Take - off and some arrival-time at one hill or another? (may be next video) -- if possible? thanks a lot anyway for sharing all this

Nice video ! A shame about not being able to remove the battery... so once you finished using it you have to wait until it charges to use it again... I always like having a screen to see what you are getting as I don't always use the gopro on my helmet....

As the tech lover that I am, I bought a GoPro11 Mini in the hopes of having a more minimalist setup for my video vlogs. We all know carrying an action camera on our helmets isn't the safest thing, but can this tiny camera make it a bit safer?

oh wow, just bought one! Curious what you say about it!

Excelente merci

Amazing video Joanna, muy instructivo! Qué bien te lo pasas!! Gracias por compartir!

Nice😎👍🏼
