How far can I progress with my low-B glider?

I'm learning on my low-B cross country glider and trying to get as far as possible before stepping up to a freestyle or entry level acro wing. I'm getting better at helicos right now and would like to start with misty/mactwist and heli connections in the not too distant future. I was pleasantly surprised to learn on Pál's podcast with Gavin that an Ozone Rush is capable of asymmetric SAT, and he seemed to suggest that the only tricks that require a more energetic wing are the rhythmic SAT and infinity (and of course new school tricks).

Gliders for Paramotor Acro

Just curious if anyone has any personal experience to share on gliders that are a good choice for Paramotor stalls, Negative spins, and heli's. Looking to move in this direction soon and want to stsart looking for my next glider choice. I fly a 22m hadron and I know thats not a good glider choice for stalls and spins. I will be looking for an entry level or softer glider choice. Any ideas will help. Thanks.

Way to prevent collapse (asym. fullstall exit)

Hi all,

today I messed up with a fullstall exit (came out pretty asymmetrically), which ended in the glider spinning followed by a collapse. I recovered with another fullstall, which worked well, but I'm wondering if I could have done something (once the glider was spinning) to prevent the collapse in the first place? Do you think stopping with both brakes when the glider was in front would have helped here?

A video of the whole thing can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an5CEmztcZg

Suggest a sequence/order to learn and practice acros

Hi,

There are many tricks listed in this website. I assume that some tricks are definitely dependent on others, so what is the best sequence/order to learn these tricks?

Trying to Heli - getting worse :-( Please help !

Dear all

I try to learn heli

First 2 Helis were easy and smooth
Since then, it get worse
The harder I try, the worse it gets :-(

Glider: Ozone Octane2 22
Harness: Supair Acro Base

What I try to do:

- upright position
- pull down both brakes to slow down glider until stall-point
- release both brakes
- pull both breaks again a second later once glider is over my head
- release outside break (left), and pull inside break (right)

There are 2 possibilities
