I had an instructor do this same drill with me. Changed my ground handling proficiency in an instant. Eye opening.

live and learn

Trevor is a stand up guy from personal experience and what i hear from other pilots. He is the easy button if you want to ppg.
He speaks the truth, I learned with a Top 80 at 110-115kg all up and a big ol Uni 1.1 with is an more difficult launch if you dont have any wind.
Found I needed to let the wing find its happy place with no inputs for nil no headwind dashes across the grass fields, run like heck then the brakes become effective to get up off the floor and gain more speed then I'm up and away.

Very good idea

[@markallisonparamotor]

Great tips! I commonly see people too deep on the brakes on take off, and also pushing the As forward when their arms should be back.

[@SteeveohRising]

This is great Trevor! (but I feel so called out, LOL) I'll be giving this a try this weekend with my fresh new wing from Backcountry PPG!

I’m not sure if i already saw this on your page or somewhere else but I remember this learning trick from a video and tried it myself. That person said something like “do nothing at all, just run and watch it happen.”

A difficult thing in P1 is comprehending what the instructor is actually trying to relate with their phrase choices when you don't have experience, words like 'put your arms back', doesn't register well in terms of controlling the glider and how that relates to putting one's arms back. So in learning it's a constant interpretation to try to figure out what the instructor meant to say in order to understand the expectation. I like this idea of kiting hands-free as practice, need to find somewhere to realistically do that as my P1 training area is a steep hill with landing field & nothing steady about the wind. The steep hill limits options, in running you can't change direction much so if the wind starts coming to the side or behind you running down that hill you can't just shift foot position to correct & it can be hard to even detect because it's tricky to look up when running down a steep pocky hill. I need to find a steady light wind with open flat area to practice kiting as described here.
