    C'est tellement simple comme explication alors que souvent on se torturait l'esprit pour rien. Merci à Greg et à celui qui a fait le sous-titrage qui va en aider plus d'un

    One thing he did that he didn't point out was having the riser for the downhill side on top. If you have riser for downhill side on bottom you'll probably get plucked or dragged with a full twist in stronger conditions or very steep slopes

    Thank you for this video. Cross wind side hill launching has been a tough point for me and I am going to train on this method and see if I can get it dialed. Again thank you.

    Great set of videos Greg, thanks for taking the time to put them together. But small point, you're not wearing gloves? Line burns hurt like hell and it's not usually for low airtimers to lose control and end up grabbing a handful of lines. I'd recommend always helmet and gloves while practising ground handling!

    @passem91: Tu veux la traduction complète ? En gros le message est : l'erreur commune est de vouloir descendre la pente avec le vent de travers. La solution est de privilégier l'alignement avec le vent. Donc tu étale ton chiffon, puis tu fais un pas (tu te déplace) dans le sens du vent, puis tu lève. Voilà, pas plus compliqué que ca.

    So when the wind is crossing from the right side of the hill, we don't turn right at the launching (Like usual for the reverse launch)? I see him turn left

    isn't there a far greater possibility of dangerous turbulence in this scenario (caused by changes in the ground elevation in the direction the wind is coming from)? I know you allude to it being unsafe, just want to make sure I understand why.

    how do you deal with a crosswind where you can't just launch into wind? what if its a narrower hill (trees, obstacles) and you must travel downhill, but slightly cross wind?

  • @MrL0rn3
    @MrL0rn34 жыл бұрын

    Seems to me the launch is still into the wind (the crosswind is relative to hill, not the launch). My instructor is telling me to run down hill rather than into the wind which just seems dangerous to me??
