THEO DE BLIC'S TUTORIAL : RAPID DESCENT TECHNICS

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 RAPID DESCENT TECHNICS, it's a list of the technics I use personally in order to go down fast, from the easiest to the most difficult.
This tutorial is a bit different that what I usually do but is aimed at beginner to intermediate pilots.

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 !
