For some reason Gemma's been fascinated with trying to fly a paraglider backwards (or upside down?) so in between storms we managed to give it a go!
As expected it's really hard and takes a long time to learn, not something anyone masters in one training session but she had a lot of progress and even passed a really difficult challenge by the end! Awesome day out!

Gets a 'sub' from me :) This is one of those tasks which can be ably completed by those that have a quad-kite flying background (reverse launches etc).
De-power kite flying experience can really help anyone wanting to dip their toes in the paragliding/speedflying world :)
Many moons ago, when I used to race Lasers (sailboat), I'd start sailing backwards either out to the start or back to the dock...& never fail, there would always be about 4 of us all racing, as competitive as ever, placing our weight in the best spot, trimming the sail ~just right...ahh, those were the days... Your vid made me think of that...
Have you got a tutorial about how to flip a glider that has landed leading edge down so you can take off again?
Amazing !
Wow, good job Gemma! This is something I need to learn to do as I have lots of sand in my wing all the time. When it happens to me as a matter of course and I take advantage when it happens but would be nice to do on command at the end of a session.
Looks like fun. I want to try this.
I 'm still recovering from shoulder surgery and my SEED is still in the factory box..You guys make me so anxious to go kiting Its like learning to fly all over again ..I want to master the helico
If you ever want to sell your BGD-SEED.... ;-)
@@drewlawrence696 I got rid of that thing two years ago didn't use it enough now I have a 24 m spyder3 with 60 hours and I need to sell because I've lost so much weight I need to go to a 20 m.
hiiiilarious. I know I always say it but the goofy shit and the sound effects are my favourite. Also the umbrella edit. Finally, that`s a pretty raw kite game you guys are developing there, pretty cool to see the history of it all on video ;)
Hi can you recommend a harness for ground handling please? I'm a kitesurf looking to buy a seed to ground handle with. Thanks
cheers andre! do you have a video explaining the mechanics of the effects of the hips on paraglider control and how to use it effectively? thanks!
Thanks German. No I don't, and I'm not sure I fully understand it myself to be honest so maybe that's an idea for the future. Cheers
I would have gloves on (and have had) for directly handling the lines. Ha! Very good! I'm going to try that! Looks like trying to teach a dog to run backwards
Love seeing my little Seed in action, as it gets quiet after Easter I will dig it out and really start my practice, even with laminar beach wind the wing is still a bit feisty, normal? Thanks for the fun go Gemma.
We were playing in a lot of wind, 30km/h plus probably. So I wouldn't consider it feisty under normal circumstances, but it is a fast wing because it's small and with short lines, which I think it's a good thing. When you go back to a normal sized wing everything feels in slow motion
@@AndreBandarra1 yup I now understand, I think I need to train with a little bit more wind, will head to a beach one day, all the best.
Nice try in the unstable wind. Too much brakes it turns into a wobbly arch. Excellent control though Gemma. Take Care Guys.
Leading edge getting a workout
I now have about fifteen kilos of sand in my wing... ;p
Gret viedo!!!! But mich bette without music and original sound 👍
Its fun to hear Gemma fistration screamings 😂😂😂
Vídeos top top! Só é pena não ter versão em português, pois nem todos falamos inglês tão fluente. Parabéns
Obrigado José Luis!
Please, would you please explain us what´s the difference between a speedwing ( ski and fligh) or a miniwing in their behabiour? Thankyou a lot!
I'm not sure Gerardo, I have the same question! I was told that a Miniwing is just a scaled down version of a normal paraglider and works very similar, but a speedwing has different design features that allow it to fly faster lower different as is not the scaled down version of a full size paraglider. Hope it helps!
@@AndreBandarra1 Thanks Andre! A few minutes ago I received the answer of my instructor of Brasil, Max Martini.He is very clear. I ´´ve sent you the answer via email .Of course I am sure you speak portugues!!He calls me Martin, it´s my second name.
You should use gloves when groundhandling..
I see no flying. Lame
