Hey I met you today flying in Menifee you sir are an inspiration this video you made has changed my life I am doing something that I fear I am doing something I never thought I could do I am living my life and facing my fear because of you or at least because of how you told this story in this video thank you I hope I get to fly with you soon
I took my first paramotor flight today in Idaho with WindPirate PPG and Oregon Paramotor. Thank you for your inspiration. It was everything I dreamed it could be!
I’m three spine surgeries and two heart attacks in…. Indeed life looks different after facing mortality. Paramotoring is on my bucket list. I’m 50 and working to rebuild my body again. 🤞Your video is inspiring! Indeed when bucked off we need to get back on! Be safe!
Absolutely amazing. Deserves an IMAX showing. The ending score really did it for me since that was the ending score in the Art of Flight, and that movie defined an era of my life before PPG. You did the track just as much justice as T.Rice. What a tribute.
That’s awesome, and thank you. I watched that years ago and maybe it left a subliminal impression to recreate it. On my way home from filming this event I was listening to M83 and had to pull over and watch the footage as I listened to the music and the lightbulb went on so strong that I knew I had to go this route. It hit me too emotionally to resist.
On another level. Well done sir...we all have those moments where we are preflight, setup, engine running in the center of our glider and think. Could this be my last flight? And launching despite that...it’s hard to put it to words but you seem to get it on film. Nice vid
Yeah okey this is next level. Truly great work. Hadnt seen your videos untill just now when i finished listenening to the ppg pod with you as guest. This is amazing man, it really is. Subbed
Superb blend of camera work, music, and thought-provoking narration! If I ever do videos I want to follow your style, sir. As a Christ follower I don’t see paramotoring as a beginning or end in itself but a means to appreciate what we’ve been given, which though temporary remains so stunningly amazing!
Amazing film. Have you ever submitted any of your films to the Banff Film Festival? If not you should, they are definiately worthy of being viewed on the big screen.
This guy. Script writing is always a challenge-- to say what's in my heart or to change it for better reactions with the crowds... but thank you. The fact that I do it all is why it takes me forever to make a video. Filming, editing, writing music, writing script...
@@ryansouthwell Thanks for the reply. You are doing an awesome job with your filming, editing, writing, music... all of it. I appreciate your inspiring videos. They are fun to watch too.
Ryan, fellow paramotor pilot here. Have you shared anywhere what kind of gear you use to capture images like this? Our sport is so incredible and the Gopros simply don't do it enough justice. I know videomaking like this takes a huge skill (the color grading is a masterpiece on itself), but just knowing which camera and lenses you used for some of this shots would help tremendously.
I could easily just show pictures and it would be beautiful and Nat Geo-esque... But that wouldn't be my story. I leave plenty of moments in each if my films to just watch with music. I appreciate your comment, though I don't think there is anyone else who talks less.
Nice video Ryan, i just subscribed. Man you have some great videos and i will be watching more tonight. In your travels if you come through SE Washington State come and share the sky with me. I will try to keep up with you
Ryan, I really hope, someday you end up in a big National Geographic or a Netflix show and get all the praise you deserve! Keep on making those it make me really feel special to be a pilot!
Maybe someday someone will come along and do all the pitch work to a streaming company and I’ll supply the footage. I’ll go along with that. 👍🏼 you never know.
On the way home from this trip I was listing M83 and had to pull over and watch the raw video clips at the same time. Life changing. A song that was both huge, and smooth, and emotional… I knew then it was what I was going to do.
Great video. You put a lot work into that. Sorry about your friends loss of life. I want to come fly out there, You guys figure out what caused the accidents? I'm sure you have to fly those canyons in a more than likely no wind condition. Like brake of dawn. I'm sure a wind gust through those canyons would make for a hell of a dangerous ride. Rotor from hell. What app do you guys use before you head out? I use about 6 apps.
Yep. Crack of dawn on a perfect predicted day. Otherwise no chance. All of the other accidents were for various causes but it had to do with being new pilots and pushing the limits on judgment with acrobatics.
Some paramotor pilots will watch this and think, "I wish I could do that," yet when I watch this I think to myself, "we are all this lucky." I used to watch this movie called "The Art of Flight" about snowboarding because it motivated me to explore. This "little" thing you put together here is far beyond that level. Thank you. That's about all I can say.
"You had me at hello"....... well Ryan, you had me at Depeche Mode's PIMPF! This is the first video I have seen of yours...and WOW!!!! This deserves to be on IMAX. I instantly subscribed, you deserve 1 Million more subscribers from what I just experienced. Well done Good Sir.
Ryan I feel sorry to come across your channel so late. Man Big tight hug and and Grand Salute. This is next level videography. Every second is awesome delightfully to watch. It would be honor to fly and share sky with you one day. You are bloody goooooood man. Keep it up. Great for our paramotor community as well. Jay.
Awe inspiring! Lake Powell is my favorite place on the planet. It is so beautiful and has such a special vibe. My most heartfelt condolences for the loss of your friends. I bet their spirits are flying those canyons as we speak. Godspeed and blue skies to you sir.
Wow your editing skills are fantastic, your message is inspiring. This is what it's all about! Can't wait to get in the air again. Jerry Delyea turned me on to you, glad he did.
Absolutely incredible work, Ryan. 👌
Thank you, sir!
Noway im between tucker and ryan
Incredible. Such a beautiful tribute. Your work is nothing less than exceptional.
Masterfully done as always!
Thank you for showcasing the beauty of the sport along with the beauty of the human spirit. You take cinematography to a whole new level.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Wow! Every aspect of this, and all of your productions, are nothing less than amazing! You have a real talent for filmmaking!
Wow, waterfall eyes. Thank you for making this incredible video.
Doooood....CHILLS. Thanks for bringing that memory back to life. Beautiful.
You inspire many to start their journey and you always have the right words for them to continue their journey. Hats off.
Thank you, that means a lot.
Amazing.
I spent years getting comfortable after my accident.
What a nice movie 👏👏
Good job.
whatever it takes my friend.
Thank you for this inspiring video! Always an honor and a pleasure to share your content, man!
One of the best, IF not the best , paramotor videos I've seen. Thanks for your perspective!
Wow, thanks!!
Very nice! And Pimpf really added to it! Stunning work. Thanks for putting in the DM! 😍🤩💯😎😮
I took my first paramotor flight today in Idaho with WindPirate PPG and Oregon Paramotor. Thank you for your inspiration. It was everything I dreamed it could be!
That is awesome!
It's videos like this that have finally made me get off my backside and start the journey. Ordered my first wing the other day. I can't wait!
good luck, fly safe.
You are a excellent Filmmaker. Really great work. Awesome storytelling. Thanks for keeping them coming Ryan!

Good luck my friend. Never too late to build back up and take on new adventures.
Wonderful tribute! Your videos deserve millions of views - they are not only amazing and enjoyable but also teach important lessons. Thank you!
Thank you so much 😀. I have to ask.... Japanese first name and a slavic last name? How'd that happen?
@@ryansouthwell Oh, it's the main character's name from Altered Carbon. My real names are both Slavic :3
Absolutely amazing. Deserves an IMAX showing. The ending score really did it for me since that was the ending score in the Art of Flight, and that movie defined an era of my life before PPG. You did the track just as much justice as T.Rice. What a tribute.

Now I know why it reminded me of that movie!!!
Watched this with tears in my eyes. Ryan, your work is always a masterpiece. Thank you for making this.
Thank you.
Outstanding…….. a true work of art!
The lessons you teach us through your videos about life, passion, and coping with loss are just incredible. Thank you.
This should have way more likes and views. Incredible work Ryan!!!
Spread the word, my friend!
On another level. Well done sir...we all have those moments where we are preflight, setup, engine running in the center of our glider and think. Could this be my last flight? And launching despite that...it’s hard to put it to words but you seem to get it on film. Nice vid
Thanks Byron, exactly my thoughts.
Yeah okey this is next level. Truly great work. Hadnt seen your videos untill just now when i finished listenening to the ppg pod with you as guest. This is amazing man, it really is. Subbed
Wow absolutely amazing,,thanks
Stellar job homie. Looking forward to flying with you again 🤙
unreal editing. true talent.
Great job, beautiful video, thanks Brady for the intro.
Brady had some real influence in this video. Glad he was there.
Superb blend of camera work, music, and thought-provoking narration! If I ever do videos I want to follow your style, sir.
As a Christ follower I don’t see paramotoring as a beginning or end in itself but a means to appreciate what we’ve been given, which though temporary remains so stunningly amazing!
Yep, we gotta see the beauty in this life and be grateful to be able to participate in it while we are here :)
How does a Paramotor video give you chills? The shots in this are mind blowing.
Awesome Video!!! 👍
A beautiful perspective, worth sharing. Always stunning. Always inspiring. Fly high, bro!
A masterpiece, always. ❤️
Absolutely stunning......
Thank you so much!
Brilliant work.
Amazing film. Have you ever submitted any of your films to the Banff Film Festival? If not you should, they are definiately worthy of being viewed on the big screen.
Amazing! That hit hard.
Reminder set, kettle primed! 🤟
Incredible video production! Deep thoughts and beautiful scenery...Leaves me speechless!
Cinematic quality.
This is my favorite one yet. It blows my mind that you are able to film like this from your paramotor
Took a lot of testing and trial and error. It’s kinda tough to be honest but I do what it takes to get the shot. 👍🏼
Great video Ryan, thank you!
A fine tribute to your friends ... Stay safe out there.
Amazing!!
So lovely. Thank you for showing
Magniiiiiiiiifique, quelle images ça fait rêver, ça me donne vraiment envie de faire du paramoteur 🤩
Merci
...and rockin' the Oxford comma, too. A man of many talents.
I was taught that in elementary school and it stuck. I always thought everyone who didn’t use it that way was wrong. 😂just keepin it classy.
Beautiful
Nice job. I want to go fly now.
foot dragged the like button
that's what I'm talking about.
Powerful.
Thank You.
Always the best videos out there!
Who is the script writer? Vide is awesome! Editing, Music, Cinematography… everything is perfect!

Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K.
WOW!
moc pěkný
This is awesome!!
Wonderful simply Wonderful
Hey ! Nice cinematography, by the way !
Can I ask you what is your camera ?
Thanks !
BlackMagic. :)
@@ryansouthwell ah thanks !
Cool vids. This helped me deciding that I'll go to paramotors lessons. I'm already a skydiver but I want to explore haha
Excellent video sir
good video
Love your content!
Can. Not. Wait! 🤜🏻🤘🏼🤛🏻
Thank you Ryan🙏🏿🖤
W O W great video!!! I did not know you could fly in horse shoe bend
The river is the border. No go any further. 👌🏽
@@ryansouthwell Thanks Ryan
Profound....
If only you fought the urge to flap your gums during your vids. Good photography is often ruined by pie hole movement. .
I could easily just show pictures and it would be beautiful and Nat Geo-esque... But that wouldn't be my story. I leave plenty of moments in each if my films to just watch with music. I appreciate your comment, though I don't think there is anyone else who talks less.
Nice video Ryan, i just subscribed. Man you have some great videos and i will be watching more tonight. In your travels if you come through SE Washington State come and share the sky with me. I will try to keep up with you
Thanks! Will do!
So beautifully said! Thank you for continuing to inspire with your work. Very well done!! 👏
Amazing work.

I always look forward to your videos!!
BRO…. That sequence with the m83 track. Omg. Also all the other parts. Omg.
On the way home from this trip I was listing M83 and had to pull over and watch the raw video clips at the same time. Life changing. A song that was both huge, and smooth, and emotional… I knew then it was what I was going to do.
I feel like your videos would best be viewed on the big screen with surround sound. Great tribute and stunning imagery. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you. And yes, big screen or big tv with 4K and a sound system is the only way to see these locations. It’s so beautiful to see.
May we all have our monsters become our allies. We'll done Sir!
Second time watching. For me…. No words but brilliant
Beautiful and touching
Beautiful! Bravo!! Reminds me of... Henry David Thoreau quote, Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth!
I cant wait to wake-up tomorrow.
Love that :)
I said it before, and I'll say it again. It's absolutely criminal your channel isn't bigger.
Thank you sir. I do remember. And I’ll take all the love I can get. 👍🏼
Great video. You put a lot work into that. Sorry about your friends loss of life. I want to come fly out there, You guys figure out what caused the accidents? I'm sure you have to fly those canyons in a more than likely no wind condition. Like brake of dawn. I'm sure a wind gust through those canyons would make for a hell of a dangerous ride.

Much more than just excellent video… C. U. In the air bro… hopefully soon
Leonardo da Vinci of paramotor videos is back. Such a beautiful tribute.
Haha. Thanks. Huge compliment!
Second comment because I have to note... You made this music as well?! You legend. Wow.

Extraordinarily jaw dropping
A beautiful and cautionary video. Outstanding…
