this is an explanation of how the extreme landing on steep terrain came about and what the thoughts are. Further there are 3 variants of landings on the slope.
I had the same question in mind ... Since he was trying to use the thermal and the ridge to climb, I think he was probably in a very gentle tailwind on the waterfall, considering also that the wing overshoots him, but I would like to know how to consider the wind in these cases. Epic landings!
The first part on speed landing reminded of a documentary I had seen on a Swiss hang glider - Didier Favre - who was a pioneer of vol biv and who used a similar landing technique. It's in French but the auto generated and translated English closed captions are enough to understand: czcams.com/video/zrr0s85S6jA/video.html
Another type of side hill landing you can do, only if you have good ridge lift. Is to get your wing to almost go parachutal, then you spin your glider so that it is facing the hill. Right after your glider is facing the hill your feet should be on the ground, catching your wing above you after spinning it gives a really nice flair
"works also with tandems". That would be quite the landing for a tandem..!
I'd like to see a third person view of those landings.
Jetzt weiss wes gaht. Und suech Mr e grossi Wise im Tal :)
Hey Christian , big big fan of you ... Does this kind of landing work when it's tail wind?

Amazing
O pouso mais técnico que já vi.
Wow
When you say to accelerate half bar, for how long do you mean? When during the maneuver do you initiate and release the bar exactly?
How would you recommend to start learning slope landings, and the best progression to make? Is there any online resource you would recommend?
He said something about that in episode 3: czcams.com/video/Ew2kKqSM3WA/video.html
