I've had a chance to borrow a BDG Seed to try out (thanks Mario!) and thought it would be the perfect opportunity to do a different video.

Groundhandling is for paragliding like sparring is for boxing. The Seed is rougly a half size wing and super super fun to throw around the park and have fun. Groundhanlding wings help you develop crucial skills to make our takeoffs, landings and flying in general much safer.

It was a lot of fun to shoot and not so fun to edit, but in the end I'm really happy how it came out.

Big thanks to everyone at SkySchool for teaching us how to fly Paramotors
https://www.skyschooluk.com/

Some months ago SkySchool reached out to us and asked if we'd like to learn how to fly Paramotors and we excitedly said yes!

So one fine morning we packed all our stuff into the van and went to Lake Bornos is Spain to learn.

This video covers the trip and the first day of instruction. Stay tunned and subscribe for more :D

We finally got to fly Minde and what a great experience it was to get back to flying proper thermals.
It was Gemma's first experience, a little bumpy, but she did great and got really high!
Hope we can go back soon and do some more of that! :D

What a weird day! The wing was very light and the waves were mega tall, throwing see froth everywhere!

Luckily a couple of wings arrived from BGD so we could do a quick test, and it turns out they are all equally hard to groundhandle in light wind, useful hey!?

In any case, another good session in for Gemma and little moments of brilliance and control are coming through and I think she's getting really used to it. Tomorrow looks very windy though!

Bough this old hand plane for 5£ and it was in a bit of a sorry state so spent a couple of hours bringing it back to workable/usable condition.

The wooden parts were easy to fix but the metal work took longer. I always get surprised how much better things get just by cleaning them.

I used Paul Sellers method and video to restoring this hand plane.

Gemma wanted to get more comfortable with her glider and exploriong the stall point and beyond. So we decided to do a Micro SIV at our favourite dune, always keeping it conservative and one small step at a time.

By the end of it she was getting quite comfortable with stalls and doing them from quite high.
If you chose to try something like this yourself remember to do loads and loads and LOADS of groundhandling first and only do it if you feel you have a super safe location to do it. We do not recommend anyone else doing this.

Had the great pleasure to meet and interview Cristiano Pereira, the founder of Flymaster. Over the years Flymaster was built from nothing to now being the dominant brand in flight instruments for paragliding.

Cristiano tells us not only about the current range of products but also hints at big future developments as well as insight of what it is like to be a supplier of a complete livetracking system to the PWCA for instance, happening right now in Colombia.

All in all Cristiano is a super interesting guy, with tons of experience and with real love for the sport. Can't wait to bump into him again in the future.

Big thanks to everyone at SkySchool for teaching us how to fly Paramotors
https://www.skyschooluk.com/

To me one of the most appealing parts of PPG is being able to maintain altitude, being it 1000ft or 10ft.
So as I get more comfortable with the motor and gain more experience and finesse with the throttle I started doing lower and lower passes to test the waters.

It's definitely important to have a good upright position (which I didn't have at first) but also having the air conditions in mind (not too bumpy) as well as the space you're doing it in. Great fun and look forward to doing more.

Also got to try the Moster185 on the Parajet V3 frame and really enjoyed having more power!

Phi Paragliders - Hannes's Company
https://phi-air.com/

I've had the chance to attend a talk by Hannes Papesh on paraglider design which was put together with the help of Carlo from Flybubble and Becca from DSC, my big thanks to all 3 of them!

In this section Hannes talks about how he got into paragliding back in 1986, what the industry was like then and how he started designing paragliders.

It's really interesting to see how far we've come and to learn how a Commodore 128 and kitchen dishes played a crucial rode in the development of his, revolutionary at the time, first glider.

This one was Gemma's project, I was just helping this time.
She made a balance beam in the shape of a snake for her nephews to play with and get better balance.
The wood was all reclaimed from skips around Sheffield.

Ideally I'd like to groundhandle in a windtunnel but this is the next best thing we could find :)

I've always wanted to do this and with a lot of help from Gemma's help we finally managed to take a first step and play around with tell tales to try to visualise airflow around a paraglider wing.

I was surprised that we even managed to catch a little wingtip vortex with our umbrella contraption :)

The weather was quite changeable so we started with one plan but ended up with another.

All in all it was a great session for Gemma to get used to and slowly getting comfortable groundhandling on takeoff and the challenges that come with it.

In the end she even managed a couple little flights :)
Merry Xmas everyone

Last year we learnt to fly Paramotors with SkySchool in Bornos and for various reasons Gemma didn't get enough flights to get her license, so since they were in town we took the opportunity to fly some more!

Thanks to the fine folks at SkySchool!

Groundhandling and playing with a new wing is an important part to get familiar with it. Getting to know how it reacts, how long is the brake travel and how it feels in it's various sections.

We went to Bom Sucesso and it has the perfect dunes for this type of testing. I did a lot of stalls and some quite high and got to really find out the stall point of the wing. Really good fun and practise and feel more confident now that it isn't as much of an unknown.

Gemma also had a go at groundhandling the Lynx gently to add it to her experience bag as to how different wings feel. A great day out.

I've heard that the safest way to get introduced to wingovers is to try to do them with weight-shift only.

Even though I've been doing them for years it never occurred to me to actually try it. Because the wind was strong, we had plenty of lift and an empty ridge so it was the perfect time to do it.

Turns out that compared to wingovers with the brakes, weight shift wingovers are much more sensitive to timing, and roll a lot more than yaw. In regular wingovers it's more a mix of the two.

If you have the right experience and environment to try it out, really recommend it :)
