Greg, I really got a lot out of this video. The narration combined with the Avery visual really helps me visualize the process. Thank you.

Upwind thermals can also steal some of the upslope wind. Often when everyone starts getting lower on the ridge, the best tactic is to resolutely dive upwind and connect with the thermal that reduced the dynamic lift. So following lifty bits upwind is good, but also look for sudden sink cycles then push straight upwind instead of hugging terrain all the way down, under the thermal column.

I keep learning soooo much from your videos! Trying to get my skills up to par for XC, but sooo much more to learn. Thanks for this one! That’s what I needed to pin down those thermals!

Such clear visual aids! Thank you so much for that amazing work. So helpful.

Thanks, Canadian Skydiver pilot here first trying to scoop insights from the paragliding world.

Another top tip that I created and it works successfully for me and I would like to share it with some of the people here who can learn is I use a clip on bubble machine a very small one battery power it sits behind my collar and shoots out soap bubbles so that when I'm circling around in the thermal I can see bubbles in the lift or the drift or in some cases the sink it really is the best way to determine how to go right or left so you're welcome for that
