Paramotor Big Ears - My First Time

Maybe my arms are short but it's hard to reach high enough on those outside A lines. I have to scoot my hands further along as I pull them down... I am 6'1" soooo

    Mark, it's a good thing you're trying new stuff, but those wingovers were super uncoordinated. Please be careful. I just subbed, I want to follow you on your journey. I dig your vids man. Please bring us along often!

    I guess its one year later and you know by now how to do it ... But in case anyone wonders, I experienced the same problem. (youtube: watch?v=IOC9lJhP0ek) The solution was that I didnt brake the upper side of the wing enough, and instead of 'slingshotting' me around the wing, the wing flew ahead too much and then collapsed because of it.

    Liked the video but damn, you were sooo close to those power lines on launch and then when you veered to the right it looked like you just missed them! Scared me and I was just sitting on my couch watching... Your crazy dude!

    Good job Mark, that's why I got the Velocity Edge Wing, they are so forgiving and super stable.You need to add some power on your wing overs as you rock it in to the final pull. Now you have to practice the full stall next.

    nice! I have split As on my green Elektra which make big ears easier to grab and pull. always intimidating to do though the first few times.

    Mark, would be great when your practice your wingovers if you would describe the technique involving weight shift and power control . Congrats on your first big ears. l've read your can pull both A's at the same time vs. one at a time. Have you heard or read that? Thanks

    Tim C. That was my goal for them to both come down at once but as you saw it's hard to reach those outer lines so they came down unevenly which wasn't an issue

    Is it ok for the wing to take from asphalt and concrete? Most vids I see people doing it from grass. Unfortunately where I live I don't have many grassy areas so I may be stuck taking off from solid ground and I don't want it wrecking my wing.

    It's not big ears, it's smalls ears. For big ears, you need to pull down TWO A lines (2 on each side) and not just one line !!! But I don't know if big ears are possible with paramotors

    I did big ears during training after just a few flights :) With instructor supervision from the ground of course. They are super simple (especially with split A's) and quite safe. Not the same as wing collapse.
