Paragliding Spiral Dive

I spun youtube around a little looking at other paragliding stuff and here is another trick that we did at Mara Lake. This is a spiral dive - so the paraglider is taken from straight and level flight to tight 360 and then tighter and the wing is actually in a flight path down towards to ground. The technique is sometimes used to get out of unwanted strong lift. The g-forces are pretty intense.
