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 this episode I am talking about Basic Paragliding Exercises. Those exercises are mostly aimed at beginner pilots who want to improve their technical skills. They are supposed to be mastered by pilots as soon as they want to start thermalling. Unfortunately it has been my experience than less than 10% of the student that comes through our school are able to perform a simple pitch exercise. Therefore I insiste quite a lot on that specific one during the tutorial because I think it is one of the most important one in paragliding.
