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. £22.95

The Art of Kiting
For beginners and improvers - Ground handling is one of the most important skills you need to learn. Good ground handling skills make the difference between getting off the ground or watching everyone else fly.  This is true for paraglider, as well as powered paraglider pilots. Powered paraglider pilots - If you can't control your paraglider on the ground while practicing, there's no way you're going to be able to launch once you put a 50-80 pound, running motor on your back.
Learn techniques and tips for easy ground handling with this instructional program. Get in tune with your glider. Improve your flying skills while on the ground.
Light, moderate, and high wind conditions covered with the succesful and proven industry-standard techniques of Dixon White, Master pilot, USHGA Examiner, and Paragliding Instructor of the Year. This is for the beginner, Intermediate, and advanced pilot wanting to brush up. £29.99
