Well done!! Those full stalls are really good! On my High B (Advance XI), the recommendation is the two step stall to avoid cravates; wingtips go backwards, then hands up, and hands down again very quickly. It does help! Also I learned of the spin to backfly technique which gives a super smooth entry to backfly!
Thanks :) I do really want to try the 2 stage stall. Looks super clean when done correctly. I think it's a natural progression especially moving into higher aspect wings. And spin to backfly is next on my list to do for sure! Would you say it's a more technical move?
@@thomm0007 I'd say the spin to backfly is actually easier and less abrupt. It's difficult to mess up. What I do is hands down to chest level or so, wait for wing to stabilize, one hand fully down on one side to pierce, half wing starts to go backwards, put both hands to backfly level.
My first SIV was on a Swift 5, same problems! Stay confident and really do the 2 stage stall. After batteling with the Swift the stalls are super easy on my Alpina now . But what I ve learned are all different kind of bad stall exits with the Swift and that helped me a lot in flying!
I had my first SIV On My RUSH 5 - This is a great way to become more confident in the air. Avoid hitting hard by pulling in your main as soon as possible. With Two competing chutes, they will down-plane increasing your decent rate rather than slowing it. That Launch location is AWESOME! (>*
Nice. And yeah I'd love to try the reserve deployment again, find a better way of getting the wing in quicker....without using quick-outs :D I think dry gloves would have helped heaps.
@@thomm0007 one of the maeuvers i work more and i love it, it's the full stall because i nearly go in my wing, but i master the beast and now who is the boss hahahaaa, if you can play with the energy hahahaaaa you're the boss.
Try not to be terrified. It's one of the safest places to be if you really listen and follow instruction. Things that used to terrify you will probably just become "meh". I'd say try to go at your own pace so you don't get too scared.
fabulous!!! after full stall , You can press your hands to the carabiners and not move them, then the wing will obey well. from this position you need to wait for the moment so that the wing is above your head or in front of your head, but not behind your head!!! You are doing well, the wing is also good.
Good advice. I am also willing to try a more authoritative harness. i.e. seatboard. Some of the guys had trouble controlling the glider in backfly and they had hammock style harnesses. The Strike 2 does have a seatboard but I think there are more supportive harnesses around. Still good to SIV on the gear you will fly often.
Great video and you are super professional despite it it your first SIV. Can I ask what was your overall impressions about the Swift Six? It's on my upgrade list.
Thanks for the kind words. My face didn't show how nervous I was lol. In the High B class I think the Swift SIx is the best glider I've flown. The only reason I don't have it anymore is because I am now flying a 2 liner C as I like the full control on full bar and extra top speed in competition flying. The Swift Six seemed to have no compromise between floatability, glide and speed on bar when comparing to other high B gliders. Also light enough for hike and fly. Super easy takeoff characteristics, light wind launching and spanwise stability were excellent too. I kinda miss it tbh.
Hard to believe that this is your first Siv. You look super relaxed up in the air. I have not taken a SIV yet , and I was a little nervous watching you. I will send this video to my paragliding friends.. where is the location and school?
I subscribe to @FlyWithGreg and he does a good video on filming in flight. The method I used was the self standing insta 360 selfie stick with a hole drilled in one of the feet with a clip on it clipped onto the inside of the harness next to my waist. The selfie stick extends up onto the chest strap/flightdeck where I use a velcro ziptie to keep it in place. From here you can extend it out really easily and control the camera. For the SIV it is in really really close to the flight deck for safety reasons.
Don't know about Europe, but this is in Australia. The Mentor 7 Light looks like an awesome glider too. Interested in how it performs in an SIV, as glide performance in the modern High B class is pretty close. How did you find it in your SIV?

@MattyDeutschmann that's really good to know! Thanks. Good to know the experience translates to other wings, evan at least somewhat.
Great video, thanks for sharing!!!
No worries :) Hope it helps.
great video with good editing and title cards👍
Thank you 👍

Great vid! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Good Showc.. Thank you .
Thank you too
Lovely Luke people don’t know how important it’s and siv. Good one thanks for share
So true.

Awesome vid mate thanks for that
No problem 👍
Excellent! Thank you so much, I am looking to maybe buy a Swift6…
Good choice! One of the best performing high B's imo.
Awesome, thanks for posting! I am terrified to do an SIV, but I think I really should at some point.

Great job. I hope to do a SIV someday.
Totally worth it imho
Nice work!
Thanks!
Good Progress

Bonjour
Superbe video🥰
Pouvez vous renommer toutes les musique de la video car je ne trouve pas une musique (vers 5min40) merci
Thanks :) It's only found on youtube as far as I can see. The info is correct in the description. czcams.com/video/4hnzriZV-EU/video.html
Good job
thanks :)

Ha thanks. Maybe I just appear calm. It's pretty exciting. The school is @SkySurfParagliding in Australia. More info in the desciption.
that ballon on reserve handle :D
I think it adds nicely to how rediculous we look naturally :D
Good stuff. Looks like you're dialed in for at least a year, no matter the conditions.
Hope so! lol Cheers:)
Hi @thomm0007 - great video. Do you mind explaining how you mounted your camera? The angle is perfect
I subscribe to @FlyWithGreg and he does a good video on filming in flight. The method I used was the self standing insta 360 selfie stick with a hole drilled in one of the feet with a clip on it clipped onto the inside of the harness next to my waist.

For the SIV it is in really really close to the flight deck for safety reasons.
For a B-Glider those tips sure are sticky.
Yeah I was a bit surprised. But not heaps. The modern high B-s really are pushing the limits of the category I think.
I dont understand why people progress to High B before doing SIV 🤔 Better to do it on your first wing(s) too!
Totally agree! It's probably a more prevalent phenomenon in areas that don't have SIV courses available or are prohibitively expensive.
did you go unconscious in the mid of the video?
Lol. Nope. Which part do you mean?
Nova Mentor 7 Light far far better. I dont get this Ozone Hype in Europe.
Don't know about Europe, but this is in Australia. The Mentor 7 Light looks like an awesome glider too. Interested in how it performs in an SIV, as glide performance in the modern High B class is pretty close. How did you find it in your SIV?
Your Helmet is to loose😂
Lol, yep. I fixed it on the following days 😂
never see this system to tow for a siv.... semms cool.... how long does it takes to arrive at 1000 agl?
Actually can't remember exactly sorry, not that long really.
