Paramotor Landing Procedure

Some of my friends asked me to show a landing procedure. This clip shows my routine. First I pull the trimmers in on my 26 square meter Roadster 3. I’m flying a Nitro 200. I fly downwind, then go crosswind, then back into the wind for landing. Wind direction is confirmed by a wind sock. I get out of my seat and hang by my leg straps. I kill the motor if it looks good. My chest is out so I’m not leaning back. My eyes look out at the horizon, not down, and hands are up so I have full brake authority on landing. My right leg is behind my left leg and I’m ready to run. As I get a few feet above the ground, I pull a steady increasing pressure on the brakes so that I am at full brakes when my feet hit the ground running. This landing was at a density altitude of 3000 ft and the trees ahead of me gives wind shadow so this is close to a no wind landing. Both these factors increase the landing speed. My wing is a good fit for me as the speed is still manageable with these conditions. The wing overshoots me after landing despite pulling full brakes. I’m just a beginner and they aren’t all this good, but this is what I’m aiming for.
