Théo de Blic's tutorials is a free web serie where I give a few usefull tips on various aspect of paragliding. The tips I give are coming from an already long career as a professional pilot in acro paragliding.
In today's episode I will talk about spiral dive, deep spiral and nose down spiral. Spiral dive is a really well known trick in paragliding. It is one of the most used rapid descent technics and therefore is one of the most dangerous one because many pilots do not know how to perform it.
In this tutorial I am giving you all the tips I have about how to learn spiral dive, how to manage the Gs, how to train the exit, and how to handle the possible danger of Spiral Dive.
This tutorial is one of the most complete I have ever done and so I apologise for the fact that it is 27min long but there are so much stuffs to tell on this particular exercise !
As always please subscribe share and like this video. This is really important in order to maximise the amount of pilots who get access to this tutos but also to give me more views which eventually translates into more videos :) Thanks in advance !
Pour les français il y a la possibilité de mettre des sous titres en Français ! Profitez en !
