Who are those 24 people who didn't like this?
This is ultimate freedom.
Unless you don't have the cash, I can imagine.
I love powered paragliding vids, and I really wanna get the opportunity myself.
But this vid just got an extra dislike from me. Its like sitting in a plane with a guy. next to you that keeps talking, talk talk talk. Shut up and let me enjoy the flight already.
I don't have the Cash but hopefully that will Change!! :)
I guess it costs somewhat to have this hobby, but it's hardly a fortune, since you have nothing more than a cloth, some lines, a small motor and a propeller. More than $ 10,000.- it cannot cost. For any person having a normal job and no debts, this amount is fairly reachable.
+Snowwie88 It's really the most affordable way to own a personal flying machine. Anything out there that requires licensing, insurance, hanger fees, annual inspections, are really reserved for the rich. We are so happy to be a part of an "aviation revolution" that makes flying accessible to all! We have COMPLETE Package Deals that start under 7k! Even guys that weigh over 250 lbs can get into the sport for under 10k easily! If you have any questions about the gear, or just want to learn more about BlackHawk, please give us a call. If we are on the other line, leave your info and we will call you back ASAP. Take care, thanks again for commenting on our channel, and I hope to see you flying with us someday!!!

@@allen423100 you can and you will!
this is incredible to me. I just love it and want to do it!!! I see this as about the only way to access inaccessible places...and we sure have them here on the
Lost Coast...
You really touched on the beauty of our sport. Leonardo da Vinci hit it right on the nose. On days where you can't fly or the weather doesn't cooperate, videos like this help make it more bearable. Please keep them coming.
I never tire of BlackHawk videos
Thanks so much man! I'm the one who films and edits the videos. I LOVE my job! Comments like that just make me more motivated to keep making videos! Blue skies my friend. Call our office if you would like a personalized price quote or have any questions =)

Hey I bought your gilder two years ago I enjoyed it very much. I fly a lot and I am amazed every time its high safety level with its best performance. This gilder taught me a lot and I'm glad I bought it especially starting out. Absolutely perfect for beginners is very safe and very easy to operate
Stunning .. simply stunning ... Love it Rex!!!!
Outstanding Video!! and some good lookin gliders :)
I called Blackhawk and Mike picked up the phone...what a nice guy..great advice he gave me.
Breathless, been doing research on getting one. Can't wait.
Yes, this is one of the most inspiring and really beautiful cuts of life that I have seen lately. The landscape and simply breathtaking footage, I really love this. It would not have been possible even ten years ago, and now it really is an adventure for all of us, thank you soo much.
So honored to be a member of "Team Blackhawk" I cannot wait to adventure with you all on the Lost Coast!
Great filming,would really love to learn to fly like these guys.
Flew gliders many years ago, videos like this bring back many memories.
One of my favourites....especially with a fellow Aussie doing the narration. Well done guys....please show us more.
Cheers.
Wao,beautiful, look to the mountians
Ohmygosh.. thank you for sharing
I have found my home... I can't wait to start flying.
Absolutely stunning flight! You have totally turned me on to Paramotors! I WANT ONE!!!
perfect gilder I really liked the shape of it is built more like a wing is flat and gently pressing on the gas causes it to lift and you dont need a big engine to enjoy with this glider. Most reeflex gilders you should also a powerful engine that lift very low and you need a lot of power. Conclusion gilder accomplished with very high performance and excellent braking system and very easy landings
Amazing video guys...what an adventure. I have my PPL but this makes me want to do this as it looks like ultimate freedom...Well done.
New to PPG and looking forward to all the new experiences that await. Thanks for the sweet video.
Excellent video. An exceptional job of projecting why we fly these machines.
Great film and thank you for sharing this. You reminded me of something that I had forgotten. While hangliding will always be the ultimate form of flying for me, it does have it's limitations and there are some places I cannot travel. I may have been able to follow along the lost coast but would have needed to be much higher to find the thermals needed to keep me in flight. Paramotoring, like the man says, gives people the option to fly lower and go places where other modes of flight may not work. And this is why paramotoring, air trikes, and hang gliding all complement each other. And it's also why I will eventually learn how to paramotor. Alas, there are no schools in the area where I live, which surprises most people. But, I do have access to California where we have great air trike, hang gliding, and paramotor training. So thanks for this video and for reminding us there there is so much beauty to mother earth that we are missing.
So glad you have tasted flight! Any type of personal aviation is a life-changing experience - that's for sure! Paramotors are becoming the fastest growing form of flight due to safety, cost, portability, and being able to fly just about anywhere. It will be a GREAT complement to the flying you already do. It's ALL about the flying ;)
Enjoy your week and please let us know if you have any questions about our Paramotors. We're always here to help!

Wow!....it's been 3 years since I first saw this video....and I still come back to it for inspiration, simply because it is such a great explanation of our sport and passion.
Cheers.
Right on!! This is by far our most popular video. It really captures the essence of this life-changing sport. If you have ANY questions about Powered Paragliding, give us a call... We are always here to help =) (209) 786-7899

Love the new movie very beautiful
Excellent video and gorgeous videography! Thanks. Inspiring.
Okay you win. I'm inspired.
Experience of a life time. That looks absolutely amazing. I've got to get into this. Incredible!!
+John Sceviour You will find it to be more amazing than any video could ever make it look! It's truly a life-changing sport.
Oh man, I want to learn this sport SO BAD! This looks so incredible. So free. One day...when I've got the funds...
Very well put together presentation. Another inspirational video keeping me on track to becoming a PPG pilot one day. Keep up the great work guys!
Totally awesome video. Love it! Can't wait to get my gear and start training :)
Go Fly Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake following the Truckee River. good day flight.
Beautiful pictures, first class editing. Just awesome. It made me nervous to watch you guys fly over the waves and rocks :-)
Wow, that's really some beautiful flying. Best of all worlds, powered launch, then set up for thermals or ridge flying, and power if you need it. Great job on the video :) Looks like something I'll need to start saving for!
Hey Carlin! This sport is truly amazing. You should start saving for your own. It'll be a life changer. Let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like a quote.

Awesome.
Great video. I have been flying this area for years and there are several good ridge soaring sites as well as training sites along this stretch of the coast line. We fly the coast from Klamath River Airport to Table bluff with some regularity. Next time you are in Humboldt you should contact one of the four paragliding and paramotoring instructors in the area and we can give you the info on our sites.
Great work..
beautifull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im saving for a blackhawk would love to do a trip like this with them
Beautiful stuff guys ...
Fly Safe

Great video guys
3:45 big lagoon , trinadad awesome
I hiked the 43 miles to shelter cove with my sister her fiance and some people they met on the AT. They got married on the beach there! The LCT is by far the best trail I have ever seen or may ever see! But trust me when someone says they like long walks on the beach...they're lying, long walks on the beach are strenuous; short walks on the beach are amazing though.
Thanks for the great comment and for sharing Isaac! That area of Northern California has some of the most incredible beaches I've ever been to in my life. I used to live up in that area and miss the ocean there very much. Have a great week and blue skies =)

Awesome, wonderful Vid, great Camwork. Best regards - Gunter, area28
Crescent city baby!!!! thats where i live
Cool
Excellent comment! You should check out the new Elektra. Our pilots can't say enough about it. We might use your comment in a testimonial section on our website. Thanks!
Mate, your video is amazing. I dream night and day of adventures like that one rather than flying around my field. Tell me, what wings are you using ? I have never seen such a design ?!
How did you get the footage so smooth? Do you have clever camera harnesses or is it all done with software in the edit?
Best video I've watched for ages. Nice work.
Excellent flight! I've been looking over California coastal airports available to PPG and PPCs and Shelter Cove is awesome.
What kind of air speed do you guys have?

I guess no one saw a Big Foot in those remote places that you guys flew over???
I want one of those, but the cost 😮
@sdsf56 Do a quick google search for "lost coast california" - the first hit you get is some good info on Wikipedia. I can't post a link here, but I hope that helps.
This is the freedom and excitement that I don't quite find, flying Pipers & Cessnas. I am seeking information from anyone on how to get involved? I live in Toronto, Canada.
Hungary Fly with me :)
Hey guys whats the weight limit for these wings?
Canal Washington fly
from 70-145 kilograms
how often do wings collapse on these things?
EXTREMELY rare... Most of the time, the wing will re-inflate before the Pilot even notices they had a collapse. The gliders stay extremely pressurized internally, so when one side has a collapse, the pressure to "push it back out" increases and they usually just fix themselves! It's really great. We have many students or Pilots who will initiate collapses on purpose to experience recovery techniques (over a body of water, with a reserve chute and flotation device of course). These gliders WANT to fly and are quite resistant to collapses - especially our beginner gliders =)
Great question! If you have any more, give us a call anytime. We're here to help!

BlackHawk Paramotor begginer here.. how about thermals? Are they a hazard at low altitudes? I heard that some times of the day they could be pretty dangerous. Are they more frequent in the desert areas? Ultimately I want to fly over Nevada and Utah deserts, lakes and canyons . Im also a pilot and I think I would enjoy this sport.. looks fascinating
Hi Carl! Welcome to the sport! If you live in an area with thermals, we have the Velocity Elektra - which was designed as both a Paramotor wing and an amazing "free flight" or Paragliding wing (which means you could fly without the motor). The gliders are very forgiving, but realistically - they have their limits. Most people fly very early in the morning or close to sunset to take advantage of the smoothest air. You might also have to consider flying early or driving to a less windy site if needed. Altitude can be your friend in this sport. Most people fly low, however, for a reserve parachute to be effective, you have to be up at least 100 feet or more... Deploying a reserve is EXTREMELY rare in this sport. It's like the airbag in a car. You will probably never use it, but it's there if you need. That being said, if you stay above a respective altitude, you could easily deploy a reserve in an emergency. We have people who fly EVERYWHERE in the US. It really comes down to the scenery you like and time of day (with wind conditions). Nevada and Utah has some mind-blowing places to fly! Both are very popular states where people fly. If you fly over water, you will want some kind of flotation device to protect yourself and your investment. This sport is life-changing! When you have time, give us a call so we can start a conversation and answer any questions you still may have.
BLUE SKIES!! =)

أرجو من لديه اشيراع إطار اللي بيع أن يراسلني و شكراً
trying to decide, this or sex. I'll take the Paraglider...
Most of this video you are just comparing the paramotor to other aircrafts..
Hope you know how to swim. 😳
Lol! We actually fly with these flotation devices that will automatically inflate if they sense water. It's a really neat setup - they are called "Power Floats" if you want to check them out. Quite a few people always ask "what happens if the motor stops or if you land in water," so it's a good thing to ask about. We also fly with a reserve parachute (like the airbag in a car). So when you are flying a parachute, with a backup parachute, and a flotation device, it's quite safe ;). That being said, no need to brush up on your backstroke (hehe). Thanks for the comment and blue skies!
