Warm-up lesson by Cramayailes

Key takeaways from this video

  • Start every session with a warm-up, including a backward-circle exercise: it is the movement you will make in flight.
  • Side steps are useful during sudden accelerations, notably to recover from a stall.
  • The arms and shoulders, then the hands, fingers and wrists (heavily used in quad-line flying), should not be neglected.

  1. Warming up before the session

    0:00

    We always start the training session with a warm-up.

  2. Moving back in a circle

    0:18

    I recommend doing a backward-circle exercise, because it is the movement we will perform during flights.

  3. Side steps

    0:30

    Side steps will be useful during sudden accelerations, notably to recover from stalls.

  4. Arms and shoulders

    1:00

    Warming up the arms, and above all the shoulders, should not be neglected.

  5. Hands, fingers and wrists

    1:40

    Finally, let’s finish by warming up the hands, fingers and wrists, which are used most when flying quad-line.
