As we pilots have little time in our busy lives, the Blue world team and I, are making a new collection of "Bite Size", 3-minute educational clips, designed to give pilots the "need-to-know" of important moves or topics to help improve your paragliding skills.
The first is "360 & spiral", understanding the difference between the two, and a simple explanation into how to get in and out, while also what to look out for. We hope you enjoy them and it makes you want to come and try them with us or any profession flight safety provider.
This manoeuvre is a great one to learn for pilots wishing to master the control and re-set of their gliders straight back with stable span, without the glider horseshoeing and pilot twisting. But be careful, if you are delayed in the 2nd stage the glider can shoot so you must brake that dive.
Just a short film using some of the footage we shot during this SIV season. Introducing 2-stage stalls, wingover tuck control and reserve deployment tips. We will be making more short films addressing paraglider control over winter so please stay tuned.
Welcome to the first Ozone Colombian open! We had 120 pilots competing in perfect weather amid blues skies above lush green forests. Together we celebrate a record of 35 women competing at an open event. We will be back!
A short report I did of the World Championships for The Ozone Free Flight night. I plan to make a longer, more detailed one, when I have a bit more time.
Team GB are in 1st Place with Russell ogden in 1st and Sebastian Ospina in 3rd. We have two more days to go so we are focusing on flying. I also wanted to share with you what it looks like to fly in big gaggles.
We have arrived at Loma Bola Take off in Tucuman, Argentina, for the world championships, and it's time to relax and get into flying the area and sorting our kit. Russ also pays tribute to our friend Kiwi Johnston by bring his wing to the worlds, which was a life long dream of his.
