PARAGLIDE TAKE OFF ON A SNOWBOARD | HOW TO XV
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Taking off on a paraglider with a snowboard is a bit tricky because you are not aligned, which means your wing will not naturally centre above you.
In this episode of How To Xv, I look at some of the little tweaks you can make ensuring that you have a smooth take off with a snowboard and that you adapt your technique to both the wind conditions and the terrain to keep you safe and comfortable, opening up a world of new adventures.

If you do that you will get addicted
Sweet, pretty sure I got the basics down now. I'm going to go send ittt!!!
Watch Xavier's film titled "Degrees North" if you haven't already. It shows this mix of paragliding with both skiing & snowboarding. Truly remarkable.

Not skis. Splitboard
I love this stuff! I am a glider pilot (vol à voile, planeur) and splitboarder. Unfortunately I don't have the option to jump out of my cockpit but many times I wish I could 😀.

Yes ! Et maintenant, l'atterrissage 😄
Very nice techniques for so many different situations, thanks for sharing!

Cool glad you liked it. It’s been fun learning them.
Thanks for sharing! I tried to practice this last week, but the hill I was on was on hindsight a bit too steep to try this first time. The 1st option you go much more slowly than was possible on the hill I was on and there was a tiny bit of headwind, so it was more like the explosion take-off. I tried a couple of times, but kept being pulled too much backwards when setting up the wing. Ah well, I tried. Next time I'll start on foot again (or if possible a less steep hill).
Interesting video, I'm just starting getting into Flare Moustage flying and wondered how to take off on a board. I might try ski mode first on a shallow hill with a bit of wind.
❤❤yeeee
I didn’t know XV was a Paraglider pilot! Marion Haerty is also! Kick ass! XV is definitely one of my favorite snowboarders. I’m a P4 rated Paraglider pilot myself and a snowboarder.

I have lots to learn too, but fun, seem to be a lot of riders now taking to the skies, my brother Victor, Sam Anthamatten, Leo Slemett and of course Marion.
Hey XV! Ça vient peut-être de ma sellette mais au déco plus l'aile va porter mon poids, plus ça va me tourner le bassin de force pour le mettre de face. Autant au déco c'est pas si gênant mais à l'atterrissage ça m'empêche de mettre la board dans l'axe et donc ça fini sur le boule, pas top! ^^ L'idée de partir sur les skis de la split est top!( À condition d'avoir le blocage talon sur ses fix, pas de bol pour moi! =/ ) En tout cas merci pour toutes tes vidéos Xavier, trop bien! Et si jamais tu veux en faire une sur les bénéfices/inconvénients pour toi d'avoir des hard boots en splitboard, je suis grave preneur ! Bye

Pour ce qui est de la selle qui te triste, je pense quel faut que tu trouves la technique pour bien verouiller ton bassin à 90 degré avec la board, et ensuite je dirais ne pas essayer de s’assoir trop tot dans la selette. Pareil pour lattero, en se mettant bien debout ca aide. Apres, peut etre es tu super duck stance? Pour ce qui est de partir en split mode, pas obligé d’avoir les pieds verrouillés par contre ne pas faire ca dans du raide parce que si ca part en sucette c’est pas evident de s’arrêter en mode split ski. En tous cas moi en general je suis moyen fan du mode spliut ski et je préfère ile one foot et ensuite en l’air je me cale la board avec la carre sur ma boots arrière
Hey nice Video! What Binding did you use to Lock it? Thx!

I have the Plum / Rossignol XV touring bindings which have the nice lock mechanism. www.rossignol.com/si/rgi0060-0000tu.html
How is the landing on grass ? That worries me a bit
What sort of snacks are recommended while flying? I’m new to this and can’t find any material online on nutrition while in the air.

isn't landing one footed super sketchy? I can see a lot of things going wrong lol

I don’t find it is and if you are not able to feel safe one footed, then it’s easy to attach the back foot in the air before landing
