Paragliding adventures of a pilot flying XC in competitions and scoring in the "top of the middle third."
Flight descriptions, Competition tips, recap of results, and US competition schedule.
I got to fly a new site today. I've heard about some of the flights at Pirates Cove, so today when Patrick called me, I gladly hiked up to launch. The view was striking and the weather very nice. We flew for an hour or so.
Hi Steve - Yeah, two things going on there. I was unwinding the brake lines a bit & that's why I was 'twirling the right brake hand a bit. I also had made a couple adjustments to my harness and needed to scoot back just a bit more in my seat. I actually grabbed both risers (can't see the left in frame) for a moment, to push back . . .not a recommended technique, but it works.

Thanks for your comments.

Hi Tim,
I noticed that early in your flight you grabbed all your right risers and gave them a solid jerk! Curious about what that was all about?
