When you turn left, face the paraglider,
hold both A- risers in the hand, hold
them parallel to one another and turn
them 180 degrees to the left.
Then first hang the right riser (in the
direction of the flight) in the right snap
hook and then the left riser into the right
snap hook.
Thus, the left riser is located over the
right.
The riser which is at the top shows how to reverse!
Techniques
These are very different. Basically, we are facing the glider with the back in the wind.
This applies to all techniques (except for forward start).
During ground handling work directly with the lines not with the break lines. In
practice, it has proven useful to grip the straps at the linen lock. To get more power,
e.g. in strong winds one can also grasp higher. The brake lines are best used in low or
moderate winds.
The most important thing to put on is, as with all the shields, not the force, but the
constancy and uniformity of the train. When pulling up, the lines in the middle of the
screen should be slightly tighter than the ones at the wing ends.
Low wind
For this, take the A-risers into the hands, the arms not cross but parallel to each
other. This also feels most natural. As with the forward start, tighten the A- straps
with light tension and pull up the screen with a uniform impulse. Then release the A-
risers in time and brake.
All lines should always be under tension, otherwise the glider is stalling. Slightly
braked, the glider is balanced with the body. So you can hold the glider up even in a
light wind.
Moderate wind and light gusts
Here you can also take the A-risers to help. With one hand take both A-risers and the
with other hand the rear risers. In doing so, the wind should fill the glider and form a
"wall" so that almost only the rear edge of the sail touches the ground. By pulling and
releasing the rear risers, we control the climbing of the glider.
