    BlackHawk Paramotor Team Pilots have been on some incredible adventures over the years. In the past, If you asked our Team Pilots what their favorite adventure was, they would unanimously say "The Lost Coast trips... After this latest Paramotor Adventure near the Merced River in California, they might rethink or change the answer to that question.
    "You know, BlackHawk Paramotor does a lot of Cross-Country trips or Cross-Country adventures. This last adventure that we went on was in an area that we knew was beautiful - but was always "our last choice" so-to-speak. And... We made a mistake... This trip, was actually, probably the best."
    -Mike Robinson, Owner - BlackHawk Paramotors USA
    Powered Paragliding is all about "low-&-slow exploration," it's the safest & fastest-growing form of aviation in the world, and you don't need any kind of license whatsoever to fly! In just 5-7 days, you could become a Paramotor Pilot and join us on an adventure just like this one, or go on your very own Cross-Country adventure.
    To learn more about the life-changing sport of Powered Paragliding, please visit the website listed above or give us a call (209) 786-7899.

    I like Christopher "s comment in video, "there is more to life than work and dying." It's true, that's why I am interested in the adventure of powered paragliding. Peace ;-)

      Yes! You are right on track. Welcome to the sport and please let us know if you have any questions along the way. We're always happy to help =)

    Those shots - over the clouds at the end - it took my breath away when I saw that.

    • @blackhawkparamotor
      @blackhawkparamotor  8 років тому

      As a video editor, I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I first got that footage. THAT is the exact dream so many people have... To fly over the clouds like that. It's incredible!

  • @PPGFlyr
    @PPGFlyr 8 років тому

    Love the video. It explains in full detail the exact reason so many of us fly! Christoph hit the nail on the head with many of his comments about the love of flight.

    • @blackhawkparamotor
      @blackhawkparamotor  8 років тому

      Right! This is Rob Whittaker - the guy that interviewed Christoph and edited the video... When he said "if it doesn't have anything to do with work, it's bullshit..." I was trying so hard not to laugh behind the camera. It was just so perfect and my dad was the same way.
      Why is it so much fun to listen to people from other countries saying bad words lol... I have a friend from the UK and we live to hear him say slang words. Anyways, Christoph is just a brilliant human being and he is absolutely flying for the right reasons. Thanks for the comment PPGFlyr!!!!

      BlackHawk Paramotor , Hello Heidi thanks for your note I'll be calling you soon. I'm gathering my questions about the sport and the gear so I can make an informed decision to see if I want to take the plunge.

    • @blackhawkparamotor
      @blackhawkparamotor  7 років тому +1

      Yes! Please research as much as possible. It's difficult because it's not like you can go "test drive one at your local dealership down the street." Listen to what customers have to say over ANYONE trying to sell you something. There are so many "used car salesmen" in this Industry unfortunately. There is a group on Facebook called the Paramotor group and it has 10,000+ members. That's a great place to start, but take what you hear as a grain of salt. As long as you are happy with what you buy and flying as much as possible, that's all that's important. Blue skies Joaquin!

    nice video guys and gals. I dreamed of flying when I was 10 yrs old on a mountain while watching ravens soaring with my dad. Later on in years the spot became the famous mnt. 7 flying site in Golden B.C. and I have been flying first para the motorized for 25 years. If you don't fly you don't know what your missing. (:P cheers

    Everytime i see paramotor videos i see videos about flight views. I would personally be more interested in places i could go.
    I'm a water guy, i love being in natural liquid wonders. What interests me about a paramotor is the ability to fly to secluded waterfalls, rivers or beaches. I also thankfully own land in Puerto Rico. If i lift off in Fajardo i could go island hopping in the east Caribbean. 20 minute flight from Fajardo to the beautiful Culebra island where i could land, rent a hotel and snorkel with the turtles! Every other method of arriving to some of these islands is a hassle, but i wouldn't do it without precautions...

    • @blackhawkparamotor
      @blackhawkparamotor  7 років тому +1

      Thanks for the comment! I know a Paramotor is quite the investment. It took me some years to save up for my first one, but it was worth every minute and sacrifice to fly like this. It's still WAY cheaper than owning an actual airplane - that's for sure! No licenses, insurance, annual inspections, hanger fees, etc. This is the safest, cheapest way to have your very own personal aircraft. Let us know if you have any questions and don't ever lose your dream of flying =)

    Question: What was being pulled behind one of the paramotors?

    • @blackhawkparamotor
      @blackhawkparamotor  8 років тому +1

      Excellent and a common question we get... Those are the "follow cameras" that give us those AMAZING shots right behind the Pilot. Our Team Pilot Christoph actually designed them himself. We used to sell them, but he doesn't want to make those all day long... He has a really good day job. There are others selling follow cams out there... You just have to poke around a bit to find them. Thanks for commenting!

    • @JohnChvatalGSTV
      @JohnChvatalGSTV 8 років тому

      Not at the moment! This is the fastest-growing form of aviation and it's HUGE in the UK. Maybe you should consider becoming a representative in your area! It's a great opportunity - especially in Europe. When you have time, send an email to our office and say hello to the owner Mike Robinson. We have many Pilots in Europe and the UK, so we could possibly get you in contact with someone to see our products in person. Talk to you soon Dion!
