Please subscribe and any questions please ask away and I will do my very best to help you.
NOT THE BEST ONE I HAVE MADE.....SORRY!
But hope it helps some of you anyway, so busy right now with the flying school so had to leave it at that.
Hi Mark, I love your instruction style, no nonsense, and actually I think this was a very helpful video. I have never considered the part of the sequence where you go full hands-up and let the glider speed up, so that's a useful tip, and makes sense, to let the wing gain airspeed. I tend to do very 'weak' wing-overs, so maybe this will help me to get them to the next level.
Thanks Steven go steady with them and good luck.
As someone who used to do the same thing (holding brake on the swing-through rather than going hands-up), I can confirm that this certainly is the key to getting to that next level. As soon as the glider begins to move upward relative to the horizon (i.e., you begin to move down relative to the horizon) go fully hands-up. You can apply short kicks on the outside brake to straighten the angle of your swing-through, but not so much that you nerf the energy and possibly not have enough to complete the reversal (wing-over), for example. pull more impulsively and deeply the bigger the wing-overs become and remember to let if fly on the swing-through. 🪂
Your wingover explanation in the “workshop” was excellent!
Thank you Franco.
@@leavesleyaviation could you add an explanation on how to exit gently to bleed the kinetic energy? Maybe a 360 turn exit?
@@ffilice1 Yes 2 others asked this here on the comments already, take a look and if you need more PM me or ask here, For learning I would not end with a spiral, go steady and just start with very gentle ones and stop them as clean as you can, then build them up bigger and bigger, I will make a Episode 2 on this with just the inflight parts as I feel a bit beaten by it tonight hehe!!
Thanks for the video brother. People are still learning from it! 👍🏼👊🏼🤳💯
🙏🪂
Thank you for the perfect Video I never understood it better before I saw your video thank you very much Mark
don´t be sorry for this video! It´s very well explained! thank you
👍👊🪂
You did a good job actually. Thank you.
I actually enjoyed it and learned something. I’ve never really done wingovers (on purpose) so now I have an idea of how they’re done. I can see how they could get out of control and agree that professional instruction over water would be best. Thanks!
Yep people that haven't done it have no idea how hard it is to arrange a video for public presentation. Maybe it gets easier with time, but the technicalities of wing-overs would be a challenge I would not attempt to video so good on you Marc! I learned from Théo DeBlic's tutorial. I still say it when first starting to wing-over, weight shift - brake - outside - hands up! Works for me.
Thanks for your efforts Marc. Some very good information there, It's up to us to now put it together. Much appreciated.
Thanks John.
The talk inside was the best one I ever heard.
Thank so much Jerry,not too happy with it but heah ho, I feel rather beaten and just said to sian I may well go back to do a new one in the spring just to feel I got there in the end.
You did a fine job with a difficult paragliding subject. Anybody advanced enough to get it will get it anyway, you are a great teacher.
Thanks Nathan I will go back to the flying but this year anyway when the weather is better.
I think this is the best wing over explanation, i 've ever seen before!! Nice job!!!
Thanksvery much.
Your English is perfect for understanding! I am from Russia, i learned English for ten years, but i almost don't understand lots of native speakers))) and your English is like in our school))))
Thank you very much Master. please learn twist takeoff and other techniques in the siv course. thakks
Hey mark ,nice job ! I think IT Is better than explanation of jockey Sanderson ! Finally i can understand when i Have to aplly the outside brake And your demonstration was just so understandable for the whole maneuver! Also nice to see you Are taking iT So easy And loving IT .
Have a nice day
Hope it helps you out!!👊🪂
Thanks Mark. Lovely place where you live :-)
20 years we have been here this year, moved here for the business, best thing I ever did.
Well done for your efforts. Jockey Sanderson as well as Theo de Blic did tutorials about wingovers indeed. I must say they teach it in the same way as you do. Tho i must say that you explain the timing of when to pull inside and outside brake very clear👌 As you mentioned the timing is critical🤏
I did do some wingovers with Theo in my head saying: Weightshift, Brake, Outside, Hands up. And it works great😊 Tho i am still easilly impressed by the magnificant G forces and energy coming into play with the manouvre. So i'm still learning and slowly building up on good days for it as well as spiral dives. Keep up the good work, Love watching and learning from the right people. There is also a lot of cr#p to see on youtube, which pretty much explain you how to crash instead of staying alive and become a better pilot 😬😂
Hi ! Candid question.
Aside of being fun and challenging, what is the purpose of wing overs ?
Can it be considered as a quick descent manœuver ?
Good question Yoann, Well you loose height doing wing overs so I guess the answer is yes, I personally do them for the fun and G-Force, doing good wing overs both sides is an art and fantastic to get them perfect.
Nice one dude ,can imagine how difficult it must be to try and film ,good job though mate
Nice one mark, hard to talk-explain the way I like too and then do them with correct timing.
Hi Mark. Absolutely love your style of teaching and videos.
This question is not directly towards wing overs but does have some revelance.
If your harness states 120kg and lets just say your all up flying weight is 115kg, will the force of manovres like this and spiralling take it over that threshold? And would this be unsafe?
Cheers.
No problem at all buddy, they go above and beyond strength wise and wing overs are not that much stress for most club pilots, when the acro pilots do them they really get them G’d up.
Thanks for the hard work.
Thanks Mark, long time no video, please teach me a little about acrobatic techniques
New video coming soon.
thanks for the video mark, free stuff from a seasoned pro is always welcome, I understand wingovers and have been practising however my biggest issue is absorbing built-up energy when you want to stop ( motion sickness), I find myself pendulum for ages and when your nauseous your desperate for it to stop, So my question is, how do you nullify built up energy when exiting a set of wingovers, sorry if its a stupid question,
When I want to stop I just wait for the next pendulum and as I'm going through the bottom I apply weight and brake just like continuing the wingover but to the same side as the previous one instead of the opposite side, in essence its a smaller asymetric spiral with the wing perpendicular to the horizon, then just let everything go and kill the oscillation with the same brake as you are swinging back under the glider.
Here's a video of me doing just that czcams.com/video/2NNxNT3qKNA/video.html
Thanks dennis, James just asked the same and for sure not stupid, I taught a friend to fly a few years ago that got that sick feeling when I was teaching him to wing over, he found out that eating some ginger before flying made it much better....weird heah!! Anyway stopping the wobble or yaw just get your self square in your seat and apply a small amount of brake pressure this should do it a treat, then realise back to your normal flying pleasure, hope that helps buddy.
As an alternative to over water with an instructor, how bad an idea would it be learning this with a paramotor at say 5000 ft+ AGL?
The only trouble is there Jon is the G's come on real fast and hard doing any across on a PPG, I think it may cause problems! I do very little wing overs on my PPG and even then the G force really kicks in, good question though and maybe some schools do actually do it.
Ha! Love the bloopers! You should make it a regular bonus feature! It just proves that even the gods of paragliding are infallible. Yet another awesome vid. Thanks Marc.
Quick question: I’m in Ludlow and I am desperate to come and learn with you (Paragliding,then motoring). I’m a big lad - 6ft 6in and packing a few pies (120kg). I know I need to lose a few pounds, but I have been waiting to learn until I do. Can you work your magic (even it is with a tandem wing)?
Hi Toby, not a problem you can use our 31 glider, we already have dan using it for his lessons, spot on size for you, I do need a xl harness to be fair but that should be here next week fingers crossed, email sian and tell her we spoke!
Made sense to me. I think you're being too hard on yourself.
Wicked thanks again Mark
Fair play ya sound as fk 👍👍🎶🎶
Haha cheers Danny 👊🪂
Thanks Marc. Good vid. The simulation in your man's shed very helpful - illustrating the dive/swoop and where in the pendulum to initiate the next weightshift turn. As well as Jocky's version, Theo de Blic's is a good intro too - czcams.com/video/cNQd-66o09s/video.html
Haha enjoyed it all the same.... But clearly started this back when you had a mans beard.
Yes well spotted!!
@@leavesleyaviation I see everything Marc, everything, muwahaha (thats supposed to be my evil laugh)
Haha, thanks Marc. Obviously, a difficult one to do in the UK with our weather. Quick question, what's the best way to stop wingovers? For example, do you need to reduce the momentum or apply equal brake or just wait for the swinging to stop? What are the risks of cocking it up? Thanks!! See you at the X-Lakes.
Heah James, Just ease off on your brake inputs and slow down on the leaning in, then just get ready for any small serge, Nothing to hard when wanting to stop the wing over buddy. May see you up there soon.
i just noticed ive asked the same question, glad im not the only one ,
