Take-off
After being correctly fitted into your harness, fasten the left buckle (1, on braided rope) of the
speedbag then fasten the second speedbag buckle (2).
During take-off, maintain a standing position and as soon as you are far enough from the
ground, fetch the speedbag with one of your heels. With help of the foot-rest, push back into
your harness.
Do not release your hands from the brakes when you are close to the
ridge.

Speedbar use
As soon as you are airborne, the behaviour is very instinctive and precise.
Please set the distance between the two carabiners according to aerology and to wing’s
manufacturer recommendations
We recommend a careful use of the speedbar because of an increased risk of massive col-
lapse. Please read carefully the manual of your glider.
To use the speedbar, maintain one foot on the footrest then with the other, place your foot
onto the centering space and push the first bar. This spacer helps you to obtain a symmetri-
cal acceleration.
Cette cale vous permet une accélération symétrique.
Once your foot touches the footrest, use the other foot to push the second bar.
Tightening provides more stability but less harness piloting efficiency. Be careful as it increases
the risk of risers twisting. On the contrary, loosening the strap provides more efficiency but can
be dangerous by turbulent aerology (increased risk of falling towards the collapsed side of
your glider).
