Step1
Check the positioning of your paraglider. You should have laid it in a horseshoe pattern with the wings facing straight into the wind. When preparing to do a forward launch, your body needs to face forward.
Step2
Grab the brake and put the A riser in your arm. You are going to then reach under and back in order to place the A riser in your palm.
Step3
Pull risers. After you have correctly positioned the brake and A risers, you are going to pull on the risers. Then take a quick look behind you to make sure that everything is correctly positioned.
Step4
Take a half step back. When performing a forward launch, it is only necessary to take a small step back. You are then going to run as fast as you can with your hips pulling forward. You should launch with ease without the need of high winds.
