ght Ground Handling Techniques
From the team that brought ‘Paragliding: Learning to Fly’, arguably the best tuitional flying DVD for new pilots currently available, comes an in-depth and up-to-date study of the black art of ground handling.
Why bother messing around on the ground when all you want to do it fly? Well, unfortunately poor ground handling skills account for a high percentage of the accidents we see today. Mastering your wing on the ground gives you the confidence to handle yourself on tricky take offs in difficult conditions. The result is you’ll be a safer pilot who’ll fly more often that those who struggle to control their wings on the deck.
This DVD not only breaks down each exact aspect of launching and ground handling it also incorporates a series of exercises to hone you skills.
Ground Handling uses the same 3D animations that make ‘Paragliding: Learning to Fly’ such a fantastic learning tool. Between the two DVD’s you have possibly the most comprehensive learning tool available to the new pilot today. This is for the beginner, Intermediate, and advanced pilot wanting to brush up.

Jocky Sanderson Performance Flying paragliding dvd Jocky Sanderson's Performance Flying DVD
When it comes to making paragliding films, Jocky Sanderson doesn't pull any punches. His slick production skills were first evidenced in his earlier films, Security in Flight and Speed to Fly. Jocky's latest film, produced with Ozone's test team, hones in on the finer piloting skills of flying XC, Acro and SIV. Performance Flying is set to redefine what's possible in free flight cinematography. A high speed laboratory camera has been employed to capture the clearest slow motion sequences of paragliding manoeuvres in existence. On-board and air-to-air point of view cameras get you right in close during loops, SATs, Helicopters and all the popular Acro manoeuvres, plus the SIV essentials like Spin Recovery, symmetric tucks, twists and stalls. Jocky is one of the world's most celebrated advanced instructors. In the DVD's Cross Country section, the experienced competition pilot/ team leader will help you improve your thermalling, scratching, transitions and use of speed bar and help you understand more about inversions, the second climb, what to do at base, flatland techniques and lots more. £23.99

instability 2 - paragliding dvd Instability II
Bruce Goldsmith's new DVD is set to become the new benchmark in SIV instruction. In 1992, the Airwave designer's first film 'Instability' helped thousands of pilots gain insight into tips and tricks learnt by the professional test pilots. As paragliders have developed, so have the techniques required to fly them safely through turbulence and during radical manoeuvres. Instability 2 is an essential update for all pilots wanting to fly at their safest. This DVD and its accompanying booklet will guide you step-by-step through some of the most critical lessons you'll ever need as a paraglider pilot. Instability 2 is not a do-it-yourself instructional guide. To learn any of the manoeuvres outlined on this DVD, you should be under instruction from an experienced SIV instructor in appropriate conditions.
Running time: 38 minutes. DVD all regions. Shot on location in the maritime Alps, south of France.
