PULL UP
Align your wing perpendicular to the wind. Grab your A's and pull.
The wing will come up above you.
How fast depends on how big your wing is, how much wind and how hard you pull.
Success: up 3x in a row
ANDRE BANDARRA
Wing: BGD | Seed | 14m2
Wind: 30 km/h | strong turbulence | no lift
Very strong winds and strong turbulence.
Stephen Fels
Wing: Pro Design | Relax 36 | 30m2
Wind: 10km/h | mild turbulence | no lift
Made in 1997, this school wing is old enough to vote. The trim was lost long ago, so the speed system is knotted, in an attempt to keep if from falling back.
GREG HAMERTON
Wing: Nova | Mentor 5 | 26m2
Wind: 25 km/h | mild turbulence | strong lift
Textbook pull up in strong winds.
ROB MANSLEY
Wing: Ozone | Mojo 5 | 26m2
Wind: 15km/h | no turbulence | no lift
Great demonstration on how to pull the wing up.
CHRIS ROGERS
Wing: AirDesign | | 24m2
Wind: 15km/h | no turbulence | no lift
Good demonstration of controlled Pull up.
MARK MITSOS
Wing: Gin | Bobcat | 16m2
Wind: 30+km/h | no turbulence | no lift
This technique was developed for all reverse launch conditions. It can be done in light winds as well as strong winds.
ROBERT GRUBBA
Wing: UP | Katenga XC | 29m2
Wind: 25km/h | no turbulence | mild lift
This technique was developed for all reverse launch conditions. It can be done in light winds as well as strong winds.
SIMON WINKLER
Wing: Gradien | Golden 4 | 24m2
Wind: 15km/h | mild turbulence | mild lift
One of many basic reverse launch techniques. Basic technique for a good progression to many other pull up techniques.
