YES! 60 hours (before) you fly. That is real ground school. That is what I want to hear. Wing control and conditioning to make corrections from memory, long before you have to deal with while airborne. Smart Training.
My brother is looking to get in the sport in Australia and I’m a helicopter pilot with some obvious knowledge in aviation. I think your videos are extremely accurate and make a lot sense. Thank you for leading this sport and educating everyone. I’m encouraging my brother to train with you.
Why would a paramotor company like Parajet or Scout or Blackhawk design and build a product they know is dangerous? That doesn't sound like a good business model. Why would a company intentionally sell "death traps"? Are you saying those companies just don't care if someone dies using their faulty equipment? I find that hard to believe.
It's because finding honest people in this day and age is getting very rare. That is absolutely correct they don't give one single crap about truth or people's lives. Why else would they be pushing units without any crumple zone and without even having certified height hook in points and with no protection from the prop and after 5 deaths in one year from drowning they still don't have quick release harnesses like the Flat Top? You can go through the whole video series of the 304 reasons competent pilots only fly Flat Tops and it makes it extremely obvious these other people just don't give a crap. The scout pitchman DIED after I warned him over and over it would happen. I told the liars that push the scout that one of them would die if they continued to sell such horrifically unsafe and and only a bit later Jeff died exactly how I warned them. They just ignored Jeff's death and now pay Tucker to promote exactly the same horrifically unsafe gear with exactly the same issues that got Jeff killed and without a single update. Several more just died on the hoaxflex death trap gliders because of how unsafe the wings are. Did they recall them or try to fix the problem or make updates to address the safety issues? Nope. Not a single one. 19 DEAD in a single year and they just keep pushing the same crap. Way way over 100 people have been shredded in props but where is any unit other than the Flat Top that was specifically designed to address that issue??? People have been getting shredded in props in exactly the same way for over 40 years and still not a single update from the dishonest people. So trying to assume that something is safe just because someone sells it is a foolishness that can and will literally get you killed. There is no license in this sport there is no regulation so you are completely on your own to look at which gear is designed the best. Car companies didn't fix their issues either until after they were regulated and mandated to do so. How many died without crumple zones or seat belts before they actually were forced to address the issue? There are even certifications for the gliders but these scammers still push totally uncertified death traps wings just like Tucker promotes onto completely newbies that have no clue what the differences are. You just watched the facts straight up in this very video as you can see the guy crashed and see exactly why he crashed clear as can be. You don't even have to be a pilot to understand the specifics of the problem once it's explained in this video. Look at all the thumbs down from the liars that absolutely hate these facts and truths being shared. Yes there are very very seriously sick murderous scumbags in this industry and if you don't LOOK and use your brain you might just be their next victim.
@@harleyrdr1 Yes you got it. Instead of updating their gear and fixing the problems they just keep pushing the same cheap crap they have made for years with exactly the same issues.
I have to admit Dell that I've been pretty critical of some of your videos. I wouldn't even consider myself a newbie since I've never even touched a paramotor before. I don't even know what a wing feels like. I'm still in the research phase and trying to weed out the BS and I'll admit, there are other channels that I have subscribed to that don't necessarily agree with you, but this is probably your best video that I've personally seen. This makes total sense and I appreciate this video. I think I know where my money is going when I'm ready. Thanks.
For those new to the sport just take it one thing at a time. Something is either true or it isn't. Challenge others to try to SHOW their "instructors" can do what new SUPER students can do. When they can't or completely refuse and talk bs giving every excuse as to why they can't SHOW a video of their actual skill it really makes thing very clear. Then if they claim their gear is better again just demand that they SHOW it's better. If they say their wing is faster demand that they SHOW the gps speed clocked in opposite directions so you can see what the actual truth is instead of fall for bs. For those that demand people back up what they say they will find it's very very simple to see who is telling the truth and who is just full of it. It's really easier than new people realize to cut through the bs. If someone is trying to push you towards a wing but can't SHOW you it's characteristics that they have personally tested you know they are all talk. There is no opinion to glider characteristics other than maybe handling. All others are easily measurable so those that care about truth can SHOW the difference of what's what. Anyone can call themselves an instructor but only those who really are can SHOW their new students demonstrating true and real actual skill.
Okay, they make wings for different types of flying. You are saying for someone new to the sport, they should use a wing with built in safety features? Also, my experience tells me even on the wing you keep pushing, one can find themselves in an oscillation as well. Am I wrong? Further, one can stall the wing you are pushing if they want to. Am I wrong? @@DellSchanze
Hi SD..I am not familiar with the competitions through which you earned the titles you mentioned. WPPGA WC and Glider Control Champion. Is it a series of events that must be participated in, or a single annual event. Can you post a link to the website for the specifics on this years event(s), and maybe for 2018? For a World Champion title, there certainly must video clips, news articles, etc that we can find on internet. Who were the 2018 second and third place finishers? I assume that these are international events, hence the World Champion....With that, I would love to see if I recognize any of the other international participants.
The WPPGA Paramotor World Championships is very easy to search as it's all over youtube. The US National Glider Control Championships is also on video ua-cam.com/video/yOZ3RKLb6xk/v-deo.html After team Flat Top took all 4 spots in this competition put on by the usppa scam they found that even cheating they couldn't beat the best in the world so they then banned the best and their own champion from coming again. Then through their own sheer incompetence getting people seriously injured & killed the whole thing was completely shut down by the city government and now no longer exists. Many of the major people in the sport were there though so it's still a very good representation today of what the outcome was. My students even beat the fake usppa scam instructors as well as Jeff Goin who set up the whole usppa scam that sells totally fake ratings to completely incompetent people who don't have even the most basic skill themselves let alone the ability to teach others. So now the only really legit competition where you can see actual skill against skill alone is the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships. Since those without the skills to compete are often not very honest though many refuse to compete as they don't want anyone to know what the actual truth is. So yes people should demand they SHOW what they can do as it completely cuts out the total bs and dishonesty if people would just SHOW their actual skills in the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships. There are many totally fake competitions out there setup so the scammers can pretend to be champions and pretend to win competitions where they won't even allow the skilled pilots to compete as no competent pilot would even do the task in the first place. Like "pylong racing" for example which is a complete scam as ZERO competent pilots would ever fly around in circles back through their own wake low to the ground while full speedbar. That's sheer stupidity not a competition. So claiming to be champions doing what no competent pilot would ever do is seriously messed up. The WPPGA Paramotor World Championships is the only really legit skill against skill competition that I know of currently. Absolutely anyone anywhere can compete by just posting their video of themselves. They can take as many tries as they like so there is no luck or bias. They just post their very best that they can try hundreds of times anywhere anytime they choose so nobody can claim they had had some unfair disadvantage.
@@yazvoldz7782 For those who don't follow God and don't have the gift of the Holy Ghost and are not a member of his one true church it's pretty much impossible to judge someone else as being prideful without being prideful yourself since it's you judgement them. So instead of making false judgement against true disciples of Christ as the hypocrite why not just sincerely seek to follow God yourself and actually follow his commandments?
@@billtruttschel There is no Xenu. Only the real actual God hears and answers prayers to BILLIONS who ask. Only a fool mocks the real God when they admit they know nothing, saw nothing, heard nothing and experienced nothing. You literally admit you know absolutely ZERO on the subject then but foolishly mock and push lies. So which spirit do you think you are following that prompts you to make such a fool of yourself? Yup that's the devil and yes that's exactly how real he is as well. No logical rational intelligent person would ever bash & mock on a subject they admit they know absolutely ZERO about. Only those following promptings from teh devil act in such a totally absurd and dishonest manner. Are you totally dishonest like this on other subjects? Do you try to mock and bash experts in other subjects on subjects you know zero about? So you are not naturally a total idiot but somehow when it comes to the most important subject of all you then act like a complete fool and liar. Why? Yup the devil is very real and is promoting you to make a fool of yourself like that.
@@billtruttschel Again you respond with total dishonesty and ignorance instead of trying to understand basic logic. Why allow the devil to continue to make a fool of you? The one true church on earth today comes with direct confirmation of it's truth from God directly!! Yes God himself confirms it's truth directly to each and every person who sincerely seeks to know. So lying and mocking only shows just how real the devil is and how big of a fool he is making of you.
@@billtruttschel Yes misery loves company which is why the devil works to make you as unhappy as he is. As for me and mine we will follow the real God who is the ONLY one that hears and answers prayers. You can continue lying or you can choose to be honest. That choice is yours but the consequences of your choice are not yours. You WILL face Jesus Christ when you die exactly as many who have come back from the dead have attested to.
Thank you for making this clear to people who are interested even if they are not currently flying. Once this lockdown ends I am going to train with you! You clearly demonstrate a mastery of your field, and as someone who works hard to lead people into the future of my industry (hypnotherapy), I admire how you get past the haters and show the real workings of the sport.
I just went to super training and we had 7 days of glider control. It was brutal. By end of day 1 we barely kept the glider up for 5 seconds. By day 3 we were in crazy wind and getting control. By day 6/7 almost all of us were in full control. When we flew at the end it was hard but all of the training beforehand was KEY. And I used to watch Trucker Gott but realized all he does is chase clout like calling Dunkin donuts while in the air. Landing near a road which that in and of itself could take drivers eyes off the road. He is dangerous. Dell and his team are excellent. I watched Trevor stop a guy about to turn and go who had his brake like wrapped around the riser and he was nearly 75yds away. I highly recommend going to training. It's 12 days but flying is worth it but flying knowing how to control it is so much better.
I think one advantage of flatop is they train at the beach. 60 hours of me ground training is running for 60 hours in nil wind. That being said...go train where there is wind and you don't have to be triathlete to learn.
Amen to that. You nailed it. Mastery of real actual skills takes hours and hours of practice. You are NOT getting real training from anyone pretending to train inland.
I can't thank you enough for this video ,you have explained several things that i was thinking about .So glad i've seen this video . What a top bloke THANKS ALOT
Thank you, Dell, for this class. If possible, could you someday give your opinion on Brazilian 's brand, Sol Paragliders? Thanks for every advice and life savings.
I've flown some SOL gliders and they were terrible. That doesn't mean they are all terrible that was just my experience with those I've flown. The Dominator is absolutely incredible though so it would be well worth getting.
Dell, Some great advice there and totally agree. If people actually watch this, then maybe there would be less accidents in this sport. Too much cheap rubbish equipment available now.
Wow what an eye opening video.As a fixed wing pilot i understand exactly what you said about the position of the hook in points,and how it limits over control resulting in a stall.And then you cleared my head on the difference between a certified class wing,ie ABCD and the rest.What i see coming here is a time when the FAA will say enough is enough.Too many people are dying.That will result in over kill of regulations concerning design and training standards.The things that those in the industry could do much cheaper if they had the will.Then like other kinds of flying,the imposed regs will raise costs out of many peoples grasp.And then without the customer base many of these manufacturers of unsafe equipment will go bankrupt!!!We have seen this cycle before.
Yea you really don't want regulation as there is no reason for a $5000 Cessna to cost $400,000 if it were not for the FAA. In a self regulated sport we simply need more people to stand up and share the truth like in this video. Then people can choose to make intelligent choice or die foolishly. Of course those committing the fraud and pushing death trap gear like scout and gliders they call reflex that already killed their own pitchman are liable for the carnage & deaths they cause through their intentional deception. So really the system should work itself out.
From my ELSA training, the video looked like the guy was pulling right brake to turn right but was goingt to slow. I was trained to line my ELSA to the runway flying with control bar pulled all the way towards me engine in idle. This had me flying at 65 - 70 Knots. The prop speed determines whether you climb or land. My instructor told me to never push the control bar forward on a landing to get the ELSA higher in the air if I was to low. Always apply power. Other wise you stall and fall right out of the sky. This guy was going to slow and stalled the lift on the right side wing tip. Then he tried to compensate with the left brake and had a complete collapse. Meaning he kept the right brake on and applied the left to collapsed both wing tips. He should have applied prop speed and backed off on the right brake and either abort landing or land further down the field. This is my observation.
Yea without proper training or gear it's pretty sickening how the same old stupid things happen over and over in the exact same ways. Had that been a Dominator he wouldn't have stalled without extreme force and effort and with proper training the odds of him burying the brakes and holding them there as hard as he could with be pretty minimal.
So if there is no license how did you get all these ratings? I’m just curious cause the more I look into this sport there seems a lot of bashing going on and not sure what too believe to be honest, is there any laws or anything else too look up that’s written down that’s factual?
It's really very simple to cut the crap between trash talkers and those who share the truth by simply looking at the skill level of whom you are talking to. It's a commandment from God to warn thy neighbor of pitfalls that lay before them so warning people of others who are knowingly incompetent and dishonest is not trash talking. It's not about putting people down it's about warning people of the life & death critical factors their very life depends on. One can very quickly and very easily figure out who is honest and who is lying by simply taking it one piece at a time. What someone says is either true or it isn't. Challenge people to back up what they say. So when scammers like Kurt Fister pretend to be the "top us instructor" DEMAND that he SHOWS himself trying to do what you can see brand new SUPER students can do. How can someone be an instructor at all let alone the top instructor if they literally can't even do what brand new SUPER students can do? Challenge other "instructors' to SHOW themselves and SHOW their students doing what you can see SUPER students doing. Just take something basic like reverse kiting no hands for example: ua-cam.com/video/757j82lTkVU/v-deo.html either someone has these skills or they don't. There is no opinion to it. Then challenge other instructors to SHOW themselves and SHOW their new students walking up a vertical wall for example: ua-cam.com/video/geha95mEtoY/v-deo.html why can't other "instructors" do what brand new SUPER students can do? It's really not difficult to cut the crap as those who are honest are more than happy to back up what they say and SHOW what they can do while liars simply can't and won't. Here is a SUPER student who set a world record knocking out 530 flights during his 10 days of training. You can even see that another student in the same class rocked 186 flights during the same class. Where is ANY video of ANY other school in the world SHOWING their students gaining this level of skill or experience during their training: ua-cam.com/video/ZLZkrp-Obtc/v-deo.html It's not trash talking to point out the fact that there are bogus instructors who literally don't have even the most basic skills themselves. Wouldn't you want someone to warn you if you were about to take "training" from someone who literally can't even reverse kite no hands?
Dell Schanze I’m not sure you answered my question, I’m not doubting your flying ability I’m asking how do you get a rating, someone had to give you the title of worlds best power paraglider Pilot, How did you get the wppga title, and do all your students after training get a rating?
@@tonymarzano2220 To be the WPPGA Paramotor World Champion you simply win the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships by SHOWING you have the best skills in the world. It's open for absolutely anyone anywhere. I'm currently #1 and #2 is one of my students. #3 is a guy in Europe. Skill is skill. You either have it and can show it or you don't. If you can do what no others on earth can do then you are the best. It's really quite simple. By SHOWING what I can do I've opened myself up to have absolutely anyone in the world beat me fair and square with no bs about it. If the trash talkers were better they could very easily SHOW it by beating me and that would be that. Why can't anyone beat me? Anyone at all?? Hello? Just knock out 21 circles in a row in a foot drag and presto you win. It's really THAT simple. IF you have the skill to do it anyway. A circle foot drag is an incredible example of active piloting. If you can do a circle foot drag the odds of taking a collapse are extremely low because the exact same skill it takes to maintain perfect altitude while flying in circles is the very same skill it takes to prevent collapses. So really everyone in the world should work to compete in the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships so they can see for themselves where their skill place according to other pilots in the world.
These are all good points, especially for noobs who tend to do the funky chicken. Those certified points are also great for weight shift so you can fly like a real paraglider. And yes, I am aware of the 'conflict' in the sport re. Dell and his designs. You're exactly correct about Tucker et al and their incomprehensible lack of basic wing control knowledge and experience.
Iv been looking for a good trainer iv looked at capt kurt and many others but after watching your videos i believe ill be a lot safer under your training.
Yes no question about that. Scammers like Fister literally can't even do what my brand new students can do. Feel free to challenge him to even try to compete with the skills of brand new SUPER students: ua-cam.com/video/RXC5Jx_URoQ/v-deo.html In this sport people really need to look closely at the skill level of whom they talk to and compare the skills of the students to see who is the better instructor. You won't find any videos from others acting as instructors showing their new students doing things like SUPER students do. Almost no others acting as instructors can even do what our students can do. It's very sad and messed up. People really need to do their research and compare skills for skills. Here is a video showing many of my skills doing what no others on earth can do: ua-cam.com/video/1gLA5T0x73c/v-deo.html buying training is buying skills. Pretty important to make sure people are actually teaching people skills before you try to buy skills from them.
I’m so glad I saw your video. Me and a couple of buddies have wanted to get into this sport! Definitely going to take your advice when we jump the gun and very valuable information!
Ah thanks for the nice feedback. Feel free to call me anytime if you would like more specific answers to any questions you have. 800-707-2525. It is seriously the coolest thing you will ever do as long as you get the right gear & training. It's very sad how much crap is out there though and those pretending to be instructors who literally don't have even the most basic skills. People really need to look at the skill level of whom they talk to in this sport.
Thank you Dell, I really needed to know this, I'm working to get a good paramotor/glider & i would rather know more about certified hook in points, because no one talks about this at all !!!
Watch my whole video series on the 304 reasons competent pilots only fly Flat Tops as there are literally hundreds of details like that which you would just never think of and certainly nobody else knows enough to explain them. Here is the first video: ua-cam.com/video/KyVWAJ1kRBo/v-deo.html really you don't want to pick out gear yourself. It makes the most sense to let the best & most experienced pilot and instructor in the world do it with you. Just call me at 800-707-2525 as the most difficult question of all is which size of Dominator to get. That will change quickly based on your skill level. If you take SUPER training you could graduate in 10 days with 530 flights of experience are beyond expert level skills so your first glider could be an extra small or something like that depending on how well you do. If you don't get SUPER training then you won't have even the most basic skills so you really should't be flying at all but at the very least you would fly a completely different size like a large or extra large. It's important to always fly the smallest Dominator you can easily launch and have the skill for because it gives you the widest range of wind conditions you can fly in. Get a huge glider and you are stuck on the ground 99% of the time. Get your skills up to fly the XXS Dominator and you can fly pretty much anywhere, anytime in anything but really bad weather. There are so many details to this sport and most out there pretending to be instructors just don't have a clue. Most can't even do what brand new SUPER students can do. Just compare skills and it becomes quite simple. Try to find any other instructor who can even do something basic like reverse kite no hands for example: ua-cam.com/video/757j82lTkVU/v-deo.html if you can't do it then you can't deal with higher winds because brakes creates drag so it's critical to understand body input. People can't teach what they themselves don't even know and can't even do which is why you just don't see other people's students SHOWING real actual skills like you see at SUPER training: ua-cam.com/video/uHFnDQp5QSo/v-deo.html The same skill it takes to kite up a vertical wall is the same skill it takes to prevent collapses in the air. If you can't do it you can't do it. Notice them get hit with a gust so strong it pops one of them about 3-4 ft off the ground but despite that violent gust he maintains perfect control and lands and continues kiting without the slightest issue. This is real actual skill. It takes reflexes. You don't have time to think about what you are doing. If you don't have real actual skills it's just a nightmare to try to fly. When you start comparing skills against skills equals for equals it becomes extremely obvious who is actually teaching skills and who absolutely is not as they don't even have actual skills.
Although many people say bad things about you I think you are the best. I have researched this sport looking for the safest gear and instruction and you have impressed me the most. Unfortunately for me, it cost to much.
Can a 62 YO get into this sport if he's still in good physical shape? And is Flat Top the only motor you recommend because its proven safer or because you are there spokesman? Thanks for making this video.
Yes they sure can! We get lots of older guys who come through Super Training and do great! Please give us a call, we'd love to tell you more (800-707-2525)
Before I came across your channel I was looking at nearby paramotor schools with an eye primarily towards price(while simultaneously searching for videos and customer reviews I still haven't managed to find...) Suffice to say that at this time I'm convinced I'll be heading down to Texas to go through your program, hopefully before this time next year. I'm convinced by watching your training videos that this is a case of get-what-you-pay-for; I can't even SEE what I'm paying for at the other two schools I had thought I had narrowed it down to! I'm honestly kind of glad that the need to save up is giving me plenty of time to do research and watch these channels 😅 impatient, but glad!
Yes you did a good job in looking at the skill levels as it really opens your eyes. Almostno others acting as instructors can even do what you see our students do. It's fun to challenge other instructors to show a video of themselves doing thinks like you see super students do as their responses are quite eye opening. Another huge thing to take notice of is that you don't pay for damage to gear at super training. Shred a $3800 glider in the prop and WE pay for it not you. This is huge and something others don't talk about as they make huge money when you mess up and destroy the flimsy gear. We guarntee that we train you so well that you will not be damaging any gear at super training despite students getting up to 530 flights each! SUPER training is truly the only way to go.
Feel free to let me help you. Just send me the name of the school and instructor and I can check them out for you or point you in the right direction. 800-707-2525
You're pretty much a God. No man could ever come close to your God like flying. I bow to the all mighty dell. We are not even worthy to watch this video.
You are so correct, flying anything is an "AQUIRED INSTINCT" NOT a natural instict and requires good training and PRACTICE. This is a great video, Thank You!
It's in the class of it totally sucks rocks so badly that no real pilots actually fly them. I've set countless world records with gas. Electric just isn't there yet. Yes I developed the first electric paramotor on the market and have offered an electric option since the beginning but unlike others I tell people the truth that for me personally gas is the only way to go. I don't try to sales pitch people with hype. The truth is gas is by far the way to go not even comparable.
Ah yea 30 minutes... you mean absolutely straight and level on a huge super super efficient and less safe glider that is so slow you can then only fly 4% of the time as you have to wait for just the right conditions... That's not flying, that's sitting in the air and it gets boring after 5 minutes. Only complete newbies on their first flights fly huge gigantic gliders straight and level. The second you start to gain 50-100 flights you start dropping glider size after glider size for more speed so that you can be safer and deal with higher wind conditions. Then you start to crank some turns and have some fun and pretty soon you are full throttle the whole time you fly. Now your battery lasts about 8 minutes. There is a reason you don't see any skilled pilots fly them. Power is safety. Duration is safety. Even if you could get 30 minutes perfectly straight and level just barely maintaining altitude... you can't fly for 30 minutes. You could fly maybe 11 minutes with 11 minutes for the return flight leaving only an 8 minute safety margin. So you could explore you neighbors yard for a few minutes then come back to your yard. Electric is awesome but the batteries are just not there. Crank up the power and you draw 200 amps. That reaaally starts heating things up and killing your battery in minutes. Even 2 hours on a tank of gas is just barely enough. That's 45 minutes in one direction, 45 minutes back with 30 minutes reserve. That's enough to go fly Moab or the Grand Canyon or really explore places that would blow your mind but electric is pretty useless. It's a novelty nobody really uses. So I'm glad you asked me. I just hope you realize how much money I wasted to know exactly what I'm sharing with you. If you want to fly then you take SUPER training and get a Flat Top & Dominator and do it exactly how I recommend. Man I wish I had a me when I got into the sport. I wasted sooooo much money on crap gear and bogus training. With my help you can get the best possible experience and save $750,000. :)
BIG thank you Dell. i wonder how many lives you already save :) i was searching in youtube how to go in this sport SAFE. and your channel is the best of all paramotor chanels. YOU ARE THE BEST!!
Thanks man. I'm happy to help. Just let me know when you are ready to get started and we can reserve a spot for you at SUPER training to do it the right way. People come from all over the world. It's the most incredible trip you will ever take. Just call me at 800-707-2525 or email ppghero@gmail.com
Honest question not trying to be critical or anything. Have you flown a spider? I think you should take one to 4000 ft and show us the reality of what the dangers are that you’re saying. Put two Reserves on, just to be safe. What do you think?
Here's my problem with the Spider - It's unsafe. I've watched them collapse and they SUCK! Which means when you do take a collapse it could be very dangerous and you could get seriously hurt. There is no reason to take that risk. It's not faster. It doesn't perform better. It's not easier to launch. And it surly is no where near as safe. So why fly it? The Dominator can do everything it can do only the Dominator is WAY SAFER.
You are a great advocate for this sport, your delivery is perfect and logical, you use hard facts and blunt points to prove logic. Excelent work man, keeps everyone talking and will save the safety of the sport... Its about fun and freedom not the dollar signs that the FAA and ICAO want the aviation industry to be.
Great video Dell. I’ll be mountain flying in Canadian Rockies on an a class 29m and 220cc machine. Hashed out the requirements with my instructor in Canada, I always value your videos on your channel. Even a seat airbag would seem to be a wise addition
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!! I’ve been hunting for paramotors on fb marketplace here in South Africa. Yet….. I approached the situation like MacGyver would solve a problem. So on hearing your words of caution. I’ll hunt for proper instruction and gear.
Well the only place you are going to get proper instruction is from SUPER training. It simply doesn't exist outside of SUPER training. Proper gear is the Flat Top & Dominator specifically so that makes it really simple. Just call 800-707-2525 and order the gear. I wish there were other schools around the world I could recommend for training but they simply don't exist. Almost no instructors out there can even do what brand new SUPER students can do so there is no way to learn true and real skills from those who don't have them and don't teach them. Maybe this video can help you compare skills for skills: ua-cam.com/video/RXC5Jx_URoQ/v-deo.html
If you do not heed his warning , watch this over and over until you do. Then watch it again! He knows this sport and equipment. It's not just a sales pitch, it's to keep you out of harm's way. STOP CRASHING!
Looks like this sport needs some sort of regulations, certifications for instructors, pre-requites for students, and to fly. Listening to many folks on You Tube slagging off each other, slagging off their styles of instruction, slagging off their equipment is so confusing for anyone not just newbies, just maybe you should all get together and sort this shit out so the sport is safe for everyone
If it's confusing to you then perhaps aviation isn't for you. It really should not be difficult to LOOK at who is actually training students to have true and real skills vs those who are full of crap. It's not "slagging off" to warn people about factual and legitimate issues their lives directly depend on. If you don't have a talent for research and logical reasoning this sport really isn't for everyone. Have you ever seen anyone in the history of the sport that can do what I do? ua-cam.com/video/7FmqswjGw-Q/v-deo.html either you can post a video of someone else doing what I do or you can't. It's really not rocket science to determine who truly is the best pilot in the world vs who is full of crap. Same way you determine who truly is the best instructor in the world. You simply LOOK at the actual skills of their new students. Do you see anyone else's students knocking out 530 flights in 10 days and progressing from an XL clear down to an XXXXS? ua-cam.com/video/WxPBXBb_Zoo/v-deo.html NO regulation absolutely is NOT the answer. They created a license in Canada and now you have to get the worthless "license" from the incompetent people that the license was supposed to protect people from. So no regulation is NOT the answer. The answer is freedom and sharing information about who's who and what's what and people having the wisdom to do their own research to see who is the best and who is lying. Suggesting "everyone should come together..." again seriously dude that like suggesting democrats would stand up for freedom and righteousness if you just explained the truth to them. No evil people won't just stop being evil because you show them the facts. It simply doesn't work that way. There will always be people so incredibly foolish and crooked that they would even vote for people like Hillary and no you can't just fix that level of insanity by saying people should come together. Yes there are seriously evil people in the sport and it's a moral obligation of those who truly do know what they are talking about to warn others about these facts their lives depend on. So trying to pass everything off as slagging is a failure to research who is actually telling the truth and has the skills and videos to back up what they say. The truth is really quite simple and logical. Do you think everyone on earth would join the one and only true church on the earth today if the truth was just explained to them? How many do you think seek out the one true church that God himself confirms as true? So no people don't just "come together" as the vast vast majority really don't care one bit what the truth is. Do you think Ford would ever ever ever admit Toyota is better? Would ANY car company on earth admit that Toyota really is the best to buy? NO. So it's pretty simple logic that all but one dealer is dishonest. So you must have the wisdom to see through the bs and look for the skill and ability and follow the skills. If you follow the very best you can learn to become like them. It's really quite simple reasoning.
motorcycle. I have way way over 11,000 flights on a Flat Top paramotors without injury. As long as you get this gear specifically it's incredibly safe. Kinda of ridiculously so. Just call us at 800-707-2525
You can hate, or appreciate.... The fact is we all watch in amazement of how Extreme his flying is. Video after video of a man in perfect control of his aircraft. Have you not tried to kite with no hands, reverse, in 10+ after watching yet? 😆 Its super fun when you have the A-ha moment from fear of dragging...to I Got this. Although I'm still a newbie, these videos have given me extra confidence at the park kiting, on launch, and in the air. Thanks Dell!
As far is i can determine, the para-glider crashes are as a result of lack pilot training. SIV training should be taken straight after para-glider/paramotor training and not years later.
A lack of training is part of it but the problem is the death trap gliders are so unstable and so unsafe not even a skilled pilot would fly them. The pilot literally has no control of the pitch so they have no ability to prevent a collapse with a hoaxflex death trap so it's really not about skill as skill wouldn't help you prevent those collapses with that crap. Because unloading the back half of the wing the brakes don't work any more they have to use secondary toggles to pull wing tips for steering. So the pilot has no way to control pitch or prevent collapses. Now in this particular video again the gear is a major issue on top of horrible "training". A certified glider like the Dominator with certified height hook in points is designed to be incredibly stall and spin resistant. It's been well known for over 40 years that newer pilots will often pull too much brake in pressure situations no matter how well they are trained which is part of the whole point of the certifications in the first place. So to put newbies on totally uncertified class death traps that don't have ANY of the safety advances from the last 40 years is so insane it's like trying to reason with a democrat. As the best instructor in the world running the best paramotor school in the world we go to incredible lengths to make sure students absolutely master glider control BEFORE they fly. They get about 25-60 HOURS of glider control and can literally kite the glider forwards and reverse with their eyes closed and control altitude give or take one inch before they ever take their first flights. They stall gliders and collapse gliders on the ground thousands and thousands of times learning not to bury the brakes and exactly where that stall point is before flying but despite the absolute best training in the world there is always that one guy who still takes off and buries his brakes as far as he can pull them. With a Flat Top & Dominator they totally get away with it though and the glider just keeps on flying. It's the whole point of flying the safest gear. It's pretty rare for the best trained students in the world to do such things, maybe 1 in 80 students do something that ridiculous but not a single injury resulted as the gear is designed to be able to take that without an issue. Again these psychos pretending to be instructors are chucking people in the air without the slightest bit of actual training at all and doing it on totally uncertified class death trap gliders with horrible paramotor designs that haven't had a single safety update for over 40 years. Those like Aviator PPG, Kurt Fister, Blackhawk and so many others are so horrible it's truly hard for people to even really comprehend it's possible for people like that but that is the vast vast majority out there. SUPER training is literally the ONLY school in the world that is actually training people. To have only one single school in the entire world actually training people properly is also hard for people to comprehend or believe so you really have to LOOK at the videos of the skill levels of students from different 'training" schools. Where is ANY video of these other schools SHOWING their students demonstrating actual control of the glider? It simply doesn't exist. Aviator PPG just had 2 more students die and BOTH were on totally uncertified class gliders and horrible paramotors like they scam people into. Tucker Gott is also out there pushing the absolute worst and most deadly gear and scamming people into thinking that is how to get started in the sport. He is the replacement scout pitchman as the previous one already died on the very same gear Tucker now dishonestly pushes. People really just need to LOOK at the skill level of whom they talk to in this sport and LOOK at the skill level of students coming out of any "training" school.
Dell I've been watching you for many years. I know you are good at what you do. You information is solid too. However, when you call out other good people by name it has the opposite effect that I believe you are trying to achieve. You want to be seen as an expert, but calling out other people by name takes away from your message. You would sound much more credible if you named types of equipment and your experience and left other people's name out of your message.
It's a commandment from God to warn thy neighbor of pitfalls that lay before them. I don't name people to insult that person I name people to warn others of very serious safety issues that will befall them if they are not aware of these facts that I share. People's lives depend on the very specific information I share and it would be very dishonorable for me to withhold information that can save people's lives. It also makes little sense for one who really doesn't understand the sport and doesn't understand just how serious the information I share is that would scold the one who is honorable enough to actually share the full truth. So here you insult me publicly for telling the truth all while suggesting I'm bad for publicly telling the truth? That is completely illogical.
Don't take from religion to explain your "truths", It's still shaming to point out another youtubers "faults." Once being a man of god and being an instructor for the sport of paragliding, Don't call out others. Tucker is a great pilot and he actually went through the process of teaching (at full length) his girlfriend. If he recorded the ENTIRE teaching it would be a week long video and most viewers don't want to sit through boring stuff according to studies. I NEVER used the words of god to defend my life because my actions portray the man I am. Don't spray venom about someone to the public and talk to that person instead privately or leave the discussion to the public more BROAD and what to look out for. Everything about this video describes the man you are stroking your own ego, trash talking others, and masking it as "helping" viewers. I pray god helps you see your own faults.
@@xLopez210x SHOW me even one single video of Tucker Gott doing what brand new SUPER students can do: ua-cam.com/video/geha95mEtoY/v-deo.html so since Tucker Gott doesn't have even the most basic skills himself as he has never had a day of actual training in his life how do you suppose he would teach anyone anything other than the total incompetence that he is going to die from?? It's a commandment from God to warn thy neighbor of pitfalls that lay before them and you don't know jack squat about this sport and just bashed, trashed and lied about the one honest and competent pilot while literally promoting the guy who just got 6 more DEAD in the last weeks. So do you like promoting murder? Let's see even one single video of Tucker's "girl friend" SHOWING any actual skill that would come from real actual training: ua-cam.com/video/eDy3_Em37L4/v-deo.html so you literally just bashed the expert while promoting the murderer and that is the exact opposite of following God. 6 more DEAD in the last weeks because of those just like Tucker and you suggest the solution is to bash the expert and promote the lying murderers?? Do you even know that Tucker is the REPLACEMENT scout marketing guy because they already killed the last one???!!! Jeff died EXACTLY how I warned him he would and exactly how I warned the total liars as scout one of them would die if they kept flying the absolute worst and most deadly gear on the market and trying to defraud people into that crap. Jeff died only about a month after I warned him straight up he would die. Tucker WILL die as he has a 100% chance to do exactly the same thing that killed Jeff as he is flying exactly the same horrible gear but unlike Jeff who had some decent skills because he had some SUPER training Tucker doesn't have even the most basic skills. You know absolutely zero about the sport and very little about God or you would know you are talking to the expert on both subjects fine sir. On BOTH of these subjects your listening and following is life & death critical and eternally critical. Jesus Christ said very clearly that without baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost one CANNOT enter the kingdom of heaven. You have neither. How do I KNOW that? If you had the gift of the Holy Ghost you would know exactly who I am and would be standing up for the life & death critical truth I share instead of talking against telling the straight-up truth.
Watch the video frame-by-frame between 1:16 & 1:20. He's completely stalling the right side of the wing. Then when he impacts at 1:18, tell me again why crumple zone is BS? Dell haters laugh and say the gear doesn't make a difference, I bet this guy would have loved to have 18" under his ass at that moment.
Yes you nailed it exactly. This video like hundreds of others show clear as can be why crumple zone can be so life & death critical as are the hundreds of other safety features only the Flat Top has.
@@JV-tk3nn The facts are on video: ua-cam.com/video/060yaNiN1oU/v-deo.html yes Flat Top crumple zone works incredibly well. It has saved many many lives while busloads of others have been seriously injured & killed without it. That's why all competent pilots fly Flat Tops exclusively and one who doesn't fly a Flat Top paramotor specifically just flat out isn't competent.
@@Doubleolseven Air bags are really not very effective from what I've seen. They would be better than nothing but I know a guy who broke his back despite his airbag.
The very evil people pushing the death trap gear like that get very upset when the truth is shown so clearly. These are very sick people. Death after death and they just keep telling every lie they can make up to push this gear.
Who certifies hang points and how can I see what it is? Just curious to see what my wing is certified for. I’ve flown from what I consider a high hang point harness, not over my shoulders but higher than most other rigs. Landing I’ve always went full brake. I’m just wondering if I flew a low hang point or “certified” hang point if I’d get the same authority. What you are saying makes sense but where is the info coming from that you are putting out there?
The height of the hook in point the glider is certified with is listed in the certification information. What glider do you have? There is no such thing as "low" or "high" hook in points. It's certified or uncertified. Many have died because of this. In paragliding all the harnesses have the same certified height hook in points so you can use them with any certified glider. Sadly there are those making paramotors that don't know jack squat about the sport so they don't have a clue how to design them properly. This is one of the hundreds of reasons the only paramotor to fly is the Flat Top right now. Don't even consider flying anything other than a Flat Top as there are hundreds more issues than just that one. Call 800-707-2525 and talk to one that has the experience and skills to explain the details.
Wow! Thank you for sharing your in depth instruction videos. I'm a self teaching kinda guy with great reflex learning ability quick learner of everything. I have been very interested in getting into the sport however because of available budget thought I can buy used or low cost equipment then teach myself like I always do. I've watched many videos that don't give out the info you do they make it seem super easy as if I can teach my myself like usual. I started to watch your videos then thought to myself wow this guy gives away all the secret learning tips and would be a great source to teach myself saving me thousands in training. My interests was also lured into another brand because of free training after doing comparative research of different brands of equipment, instructors, plus watching your crash videos my false sense of self confidence plumited fast. Your videos have the exact opposite effect now I most definitely do not want to teach my self, woah still cringing over this video. All your advice and tips showed me there is too much to learn before I even get into the air. Im now excited and very anxious to meet you. I'm not ready to buy the equipment yet but going to happily pay thousands for your training course before I even do just to get a feel for the sport and to satisfy my urges to get started.
Yes and even worse than people realize because of the absolutely horrible and unsafe paramotor he had her trying to fly. She could have very easily chopped herself up in the prop with that unit like has happened way way over 100 times to other people on that gear. Part of training is making sure the student is prepared with the right gear to help keep them as safe as possible. Sadly newbies just don't know or understand this and so by trying to "train" people they can really get people killed very easily.
The Flat Top is the most perfect paramotor on the market by a huge gigantic margin. There really isn't anything to be improved as we constantly continue to make enhancements any time we can think of anything. There is so much experience that has gone into the Flat Top it's truly the most perfect paramotor every made. You won't even fully appreciate how truly incredible it is until it saves your butt a few times. There are just so many things that can happen in the sport and the Flat Top is the only unit on the market designed to address every single known issue in the sport. Nobody on earth can do what we do on Flat Tops and much in part because the Flat Top is so safe while other units are so horrifically unsafe that flying anything other than a Flat Top people simply don't live long enough to reach our skill and ability level. It takes massive practice to be the best in the world but you don't get massive amounts of practice if you are dead. If I flew ANY other paramotor I would be dead right now at least a dozen times over.
Good plan. It's a deadly mistake soooo many make by not LOOKING at the skill level of whom they listen to. Call 800-707-2525. It really shouldn't be rocket science to compare skill levels and the skill levels of people's students.
Nice video. What you say makes a lot of sense cos hooking points look like they have comething to do with Cg . You will do better without the boasting and the name calling. Great video
The WPPGA Paramotor World Championships is a youtube competition so absolutely anyone from anywhere can compete at anytime. You just do the task on video as many times as you like and submit your very best score. The best pilot always wins as there is no luck or chance to it. Anyone from anywhere that has the skills will win. It's really that simple. No bs trying to fly around the world or pay fees or have a dishonest person with their finger on the stop watch cheating up and down and no being encouraged to do idiotic things like flying around pylons full speedbar that no competent pilot would ever do. The WPPGA Paramotor World Championships is something every pilot out there should be practicing for and competing at as it's a critical skill that makes every pilot a much much safer pilot. The better you can do in the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships the more skills and the safer you become. It's really the only no bs competition out there.
@@mr.pathfinder1971 There is a list on the WPPGA website although the website is currently being updated. Or you can see them all over youtube. To enter you simply make a youtube video showing yourself doing the task and then submit your entry. It's that simple.
Dell, Thank God 🙏🙏🙏I found this video I was gonna go to that place in Florida for training 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻thanks for the truthful video what is your minimum age ??
The Charger IS a totally uncertified death trap. ZERO hoaxflex gliders can pass ANY level of certifications on hoaxflex death trap mode. The scam of claiming they are certified and then claiming they are "reflex" murders many people who ignorantly make this mistake. There is no such thing as an actually certified hoaxflex death trap they call "reflex". Also which hoaxflex death trap wing doesn't matter as a hoaxflex wing is a hoaxflex wing. They all use the same horribly deadly design so trying to pretend some are safe shows how people fall for such horrible deception. So No the Charger absolutely is NOT a "nice beginner safe glider"!! Seriously dude people are dying and you come on here to argue with experts and post the very ignorance that is getting sooooooo many seriously injured & killed??? This is the whole point. Liars pushing death traps like the Charger use every lie they can make up to deceive gullible newbies that don't have a clue what the difference is. Don't fall for it let along then go around arguing with experts as though you know more than they do. Anyone flying a hoaxflex death trap anything at all let alone the Charger or any other hoaxflex wing should immediately stop flying it and call me at 800-707-2525. Just one single collapse could be the last thing you remember in life. Why?? Why fly a total death trap when their performance also sucks??? There is zero reason to fly a pile of crap that will kill you when quality gliders are better in every single way. It just doesn't make any sense.
@@DellSchanze I would love to fly the dominator but I cant afford a new wing. Would you like to donate one to me so I dont die and can promote it to my local paramotor community and tell everyone that Dell Schanze is actually a really great guy who just wants to see everyone as safe as possible. I'd even send you my charger to burn it or whatever.
@@DellSchanze you're BS dell. Super shit. Macpara makes some great paraglider and they are certified by the standard of the entire paragliding community, DGAC.
@@DennisGlowacki Yes we actually do take trade ins. No we don't just give gliders away for free sorry. I have many hoaxflex death trap wings right now that people have traded in that I use to SHOW people the exact and real differences. Like in the video where the 16sm Dominator shows it has a better glide ratio and LOWER sink rate than the 29sm total death trap Dudek Nucleon. So yes you can make a difference in saving people's lives by trading in a death trap Charger towards a quality wing. It's seriously sick and evil that they promote death traps like the MacPara Charger as "certified" when they know darn well ZERO hoaxflex death traps can pass ANY level of safety certifications in death trap mode. To push such death traps onto complete newbies that simply don't know any better is freaking evil.
@@KeegenMould Really??? Then how about SHOW me the video of the DGAC running the Charger though collapse testing??? Where is it??? Your lies don't work on competent people sorry. Seriously how do you think you can make up such absurdity as though one of the most experience pilots in history is going to be fooled by it?? It's total liars just like these scammers that get so many seriously injured & killed. Totally fake certifications like DGAC mean absolutely ZERO. DGAC does NOT mean a glider is safe. Not even remotely. Those pushing crap like the Charger should be forced to go SHOW on video the collapse testing with the trims UP and down. Let's see it??? Where is any of the liars that push that crap who will go out and SHOW how it responds to collapses with the trims up????? I show it all over youtube with the Dominator but where is even 1 single video anywhere of the Charger being collapse tested trims up????? These liars don't care one bit how many they get killed with their lies. In this sport people need to be a little bit sharper than a tire and LOOK at the facts and LOOK at the skill level of those trying to share information. Take a good look at the actual skill level of this liar. Why can't he even do what brand new SUPER students can do??? Then he comes here to argue with one who nobody can honestly compete with???!!! All to deceive people about what gear is safe and what isn't. Stop trying to murder people with your fraud!!
Why are these company's your calling out hooking the risers higher than what is recommended? If I had to guess, it would be for some sore of performance gain so it would make Acrobatics easier? I'm thinking of getting into the sport and I am very curious to understand the motivation behind this kind of decision. I am a former skydiver" no jumps in 22 years" and the trend in the sport before I stopped was increased wing loading "smaller canopies" so you could turn faster and swoop for longer on landings. This of course lead to increased death while under functional wings. Is that what's going on in the paramotor industry...the need for increased performance leading to more deaths? Thanks for posting this video.
Paragliding came from skydiving. As you know in skydiving you parachute hooks to your shoulders because you hang from that point. Well these paramotors with hook in points above the shoulders and head are so insanely old they came from clear back at the very beginning of the sport and then ignorant people just keep pushing the same gear year after year without a single update and now well over 40 years later they are pushing the same horrifically outdated units that cause the same injuries & deaths which was why the problem was fixed over 40 years ago. Over 40 years ago it was well known that new pilots would tend to pull too much brakes and it was found that because paragliders are much more comfortable and with better control in a reclined seated position the hook in points were standardized to certified height hook in points where are just above the waist. So every certified paragliding harness and up to date paramotor they have been using the certified height hook in points for over 40 years while the totally ignorant incompetent dishonest idiots ignore these facts and just keep lying to people and pushing gear that is so old it's seriously insane anyone would even consider buying it. No there is no benefit and no performance benefit. 99% of the carnage & death in the industry is because of blatantly incompetence, ignorance and dishonesty and doesn't have anything at all to do with the actual sport. I set the paramotor speed record at 51 mph on the super duper safe XXS Dominator so no the faster gliders are not less safe they are actually MORE safe. Instead of selling the hundreds of different certified gliders though you again have these total freaking morons pushing totally uncertified death trap gliders to newbies that didn't do their research. It's really hard to comprehend how this blatant incompetence can continue to cause so many deaths in exactly the same way as the problem is obvious and blatant. Another guy just died only a week or so ago on these same total death trap gliders but seriously evil and dishonest people just ignore the deaths and keep pushing the total crap death traps onto newbies that don't know any better. They even hold fake "races" to blatantly deceive people into thinking these total crap gliders are "race gliders" when in fact I set the world speed record on the super duper safe Dominator. The hoaxflex death trap wings are actually quite slow because they are horribly inefficient so you just run out of power long before you actually attain any notable top speed. So they don't do anything well AND are thousands of times more likely to collapse AND when you take a collapse you do a back flip 180 and lock into a spiral face first into the ground most often. It's a horrifying nightmare that is more about a religious conversation about good vs evil then it has anything at all to do with the real actual sport. Call me if you have any further questions. It's an incredible sport and remarkably safe IF you get proper gear and training from an actual expert. 800-707-2525
There are lots of pretty safe gliders from many of the main companies in the EN-A class. The problem is they suck so badly for performance people get bored with them very quickly and start flying unsafe gliders thinking that is the only way to have real fun. So really the only glider to get is the Dominator paraglider as you get both the highest level of safety AND the highest level of performance. So not only is it perfect for my kids taking their first flight but it's the same wing the best pilots in the world are setting countless world records on and doing things nobody else on earth can do. So getting a safe glider isn't enough because people just get bored with most of the safe gliders and glider with more performance are nowhere near the safety of the Dominator. So it's not as easy as just listing 4-5 safer gliders. Plus the Flat Top paramotor is another life & death critical part of that. Kinda silly to worry about safety if you fly ANY paramotor other than a Flat Top paramotor specifically. Safety takes BOTH the Flat Top paramotor AND the Dominator paraglider together. A Dominator can control your descent rate in extreme situations but if you don't have the crumple zone to absorb that descent rate you are still not really protected and a Flat Top paramotor's crumple zone is not going to save you from a deadly wing like those they call "reflex" as you will hit face first at 80-105 mph. So if you want the best safety, performance, fun and ease of use you get both a Flat Top paramotor specifically along with a Dominator paraglider specifically. That along with SUPER training will change the whole sport for you making it incredibly fun & easy as well as ridiculously safe.
I’m so interested in becoming a paraglider pilot. Watching videos and following some pilots for a few weeks now. The danger of a serious crash terrifies me. I’m on Flatop’s website, and I’ve been following/watching your videos. I know there is always a risk, but by utilizing the Super Student training and flight package clearly mitigates this risk. Seeing crashes and deaths has started to scare me towards not doing this. Thoughts?
Total carnage like in this video have absolutely nothing to do with real actual SUPER training and proper gear. The guy had ZERO actual training, totally uncertified glider, totally uncertified height hook in points allowing him to easily stall the glider, no crumple zone, no face plant protection, no Flat Top paramotor... it's like watching motorcycle wrecks and then thinking you don't want to buy a Mercedes. Not even comparable. Yes you can die doing anything but in the entire history of the sport only one single person has ever died on proper gear and that was from doing seriously ridiculous. I broke nearly ever bone in my body on motorcycles. 11 vertabre fused together, hip bolted on, hand bolted together, missing a finger... not one single injury in 20+ years of pushing all the limits on Flat Top paramotors. You see me out there doing what no others on earth can do and not a single injury. This is pretty much the safest action sport you are going to find and for sure the coolest. So don't let total incompetence and frauds scare you away from doing it right. Just call me at 800-707-2525.
@@youtub13 That total ignorance doesn't make the slightest sense to rational people either. Where is ANY video of Tucker SHOWING he can do what brand new SUPER students can do?? ua-cam.com/video/RXC5Jx_URoQ/v-deo.html where is even 1 single video showing the complete and total scammers Tucker promotes SHOWING their students or instructors demonstrating these real actual skills?

Hey Dell, what safety improvements are possible in your motors v other motors? I understand the hook-in point issue, but struggling to see where the improvements in motor design are...(apart from the crumple zone) thanks for any pointers!
Look up the whole video series of the "304 reasons competent pilots ONLY fly Flat Tops". It makes it really obvious why anyone not flying a Flat Top paramotor specifically is either totally incompetent or just straight up completely ignorant of the basics of the sport.
great video. Thank you. I have tried calling, but must be time difference or something. I have very specific questions regarding where I live and also wondering if you sell used equipment. I am trying to find out if this passion of flying is realistic with my location and finances. I have recently insulted you and did not mean any disrespect and humbly apologize. Your training is the only way I would get into the sport.
Hey SD.. I want to get a flattop but only downside is I'm only 165 and 5 ,9. I'm worried about all the torque. Is there any good flattop that has torque control so to speak?
What torque? Even little children fly the super powerful Flat Top Ninja with ZERO torque issues: ua-cam.com/video/tqKReF2-7CQ/v-deo.html the liars spread all kinds of absurd lies but they are just lies. If you want to see torque issues look at a unit like the scout which is horrible. Instead of listening to bs people say just LOOK at the unit during launch. If it's torqued completely off to the side then you know it has torque issues. If it's perfectly level like little kids on the Flat Top then you know it's not an issue. Because the Flat Top has the best weight shift on the market you simply eliminate torque completely by weight shifting. Do you think I would put my children on a unit that had torque issues?
I find myself nodding in agreement with what you say, especially about the wing control stuff, stall control etc -and -as my life is potentially at stake -could you please do an appraisal of Parajet and Ozone. I would be interested in your opinion. Thanks..
Watch the video series of the 304 reasons the Flat Top is the only paramotor competent pilots fly or recommend as it goes through hundreds of details why no competent pilot would ever fly or recommend parajet. No crumple zone, no protection from the prop, no face plant protection, no quick release harness... there are hundreds of reasons units like the parajet have been causing serious injuries & deaths for over 40 years without the slightest update to address ANY of the issues. Here is a video where I did a side by side comparison of the Dominator vs an Ozone wing: ua-cam.com/video/uQrsx14trx0/v-deo.html Not even Ozone's totally uncertified class death trap wings can compete with the performance of the Dominator and neither can their "safest" wings compete with the safety of the Dominator either. If one is going to spend money on a wing it only makes sense to get the very best wing for that money and Ozone is far from the best. Ignore any opinion and just look at each characteristic as glider characteristics are easily measurable so there doesn't have to be any opinion of which glider is best as it's really easy to assess the facts without opinions. I've warned people for years not to fly parjet and totally uncertified class wings. Just listen to the screams of the woman shredded in the prop in this video and you can see why only a total sicko would ever recommend a unit like a parajet: ua-cam.com/video/uzvmMJVypzk/v-deo.html Here you can watch back to back crashes where the Flat Top crumple zone totally saves people's butts and then watch people who don't hit nearly as hard on parajets who break their back or worse: ua-cam.com/video/060yaNiN1oU/v-deo.html so again anyone pushing horrifically unsafe and outdated gear like parajet just doesn't give one single crap about your life or basic honesty or facts. I even warned Glen Tupper of exactly what would happen if he flew that parajet and totally uncertified glider and explained to him very clearly how he would break his back or die and yes that's him screaming when he broke his back EXACTLY how I warned him he would over and over. It happens over and over and over in the exact same ways over and over on the very same horrible gear with the very same horrible issues. It's just sickening how dishonest people just don't care one bit about people's lives and push crap like parajet and totally uncertified ozone wings even after watching soooooooo many get seriously injured & killed. Eric Farewell of Aviator PPG broke his back in exactly the same way and now pushes this exact same gear like he already broke his back with onto people that just don't seem to do any research at all into whom they trust their life to. Farewell trained at blackhawk. He litereally can't even do what my brand new students can do but is out there pretending to be an expert and chucking people in the air without the slightest ability to really control the glider and on the most horrifically unsafe gear. 2 more just died on that very same type of crap but they just keep pushing the same crap without the slightest safety update. It's truly hard to comprehend how people can be like that. Here is a video that really hammers the truth home of just how huge the difference is as this is one of my brand new students who has to land to try to help the blackhawk "instructor" just try to get off the ground.... ua-cam.com/video/vWSiVWdeLIA/v-deo.html people simply can't teach what they themselves don't know. So for people to buy parajet and try to train with those like Farewell.... seriously how do people do such a thing without even the slightest bit of research into the skill level of whom they talk to? In this sport you seriously need to LOOK at the skill level of whom you take information from. One doesn't get to be the best without massive experience and one doesn't get massive experience if they are dead. So it would make sense that the best pilot in the world also knows a thing or two about how to stay safe in the sport. One of the many reasons nobody on earth can do on other gear what I do on a Flat Top is become they simply don't live long enough on the horrible gear to make it to my skill level. I hope this helps. Call me at 800-707-2525 if you have any other questions or would like to get started in the sport the right way and the best and truly the only legitimate way.
There is actually a ton more to it than that. It's those pushing the totally unsafe gear and those out there pretending to be instructors who literally can't even do what my brand new students can do. Since they can't compete with me honestly they talk piles of crap and spread around every lie they can make up. Much of the hate and lies have little to do with the sport. They come from those who promote homosexuality such as those like Rob at blackhawk who cheated on his wife with a man and Jeff Goin who setup the total scam called the usppa that sells fake ratings to such types. They simply hate Christians that disagree with immorality. I actually won a 1.2 million dollar judgement against Rob Whitaker of blackhawk for all the bs he was doing. It's far worse than people realize so it is interesting to get more of the history of just how many people the dishonest in the industry have gotten seriously injured & killed in all the same ways over and over. They also use a ton of fake accounts to thumbs down all my videos. So many just absolutely hate the truth these days. It's pretty messed up. Skill is skill though you either have skills or you don't. The dishonest people obviously can't compete with me honestly so instead they spread every lie around that they can. It's pretty crazy how sick these people are.
How can you possible think it is a good idea to go in the air, when you don't even know how to operate the wing....? I mean wtf?.. relating it more too me... That is like taking a person who has never flown a helicopter before, getting them into a hover, and then letting go of the flight controls all at once while telling them "Don't worry! you got it!"... instant disaster. I once saw a dude in a field trying to operate one of these with a Ozone Subzero snowkite.... he did not make it in the air thankfully.
Took a steal reflector post right up the handle bars on a motorcycle. I've broken nearly every bone in my body on motorcycles but I've never once been injured on a Flat Top paramotor. Flying Flat Top paramotors is kind of ridiculously safe. For one like me with soooo much experience pushing all the limits and setting countless records to have never been injured it's really a testament to just how incredible the Flat Top paramotor specifically truly is. If I flew ANY other brand of paramotor I would be dead right now at least a dozen times over.
Instead of spending hours in the comments section bashing your competitors you should do a online sales course and hopefully you figure out that talking down about your opposition if the most effective way to lose business and lose trust in potential customers.
@@DellSchanze so you don't receive financial reward from the Flat top product at all? You don't want to sell your product? It's only because you are such a nice guy and has nothing to do with you wanting to sell more flattops?
@@Johnny-gb7eh Again your focus is all about money and trying to twist up any possible negative while ignoring the facts all while my focus is just about telling the truth and trying to help people save their own lives by being more aware of the actual facts. Did you even for a second consider the simple logic in what I shared or look at my experience level or double check the facts on what I'm saying? Instead you try to twist it all up into some negative based on money without the slightest attempt to even try to consider that people's lives matter more than money. Yes I can make money selling gear but I can and do also do it while being honest and truly trying to help people.
Notice how these fake account nobodies who are obviously competitors that have no honor will do everything they can to try to twist up falsehood against the blatantly obvious facts. If what I am saying in this video wasn't true it would be very simple to refute it with logic, facts, reason and evidence and without any trash talking like this. Instead the fake account liars try to twist up lies in hopes their negative deception can trick people away from the obvious truth. Where is even 1 single person in the industry trying to refute what I'm SHOWING here with any facts or logic or evidence of their own? the sheer lack of anyone even trying to refute what I'm saying but many trying to talk trash and thumbs down the truth really shows just how sick so many truly are as they seriously hate the truth and don't care how many die as long as they get their money first. For those that are just like them by all means go deal with those most like yourself. For those that actually care more about truth and people's lives and doing what's right come see me as we will get along great.
If we put one of your certified anti-stall gliders on a regular paramotor that's not a flat top is it still going to stall or is it only made for flat top?
If you raise the hook in points much much higher than the certified height hook in location then yes absolutely any glider no matter it's safety rating can be whip stalled out of the sky. To get the proper safety designed into any certified wing you need the certified height hook in points like the Flat Top has.
Jeff Toll didn't fly into power lines in his own flying site. He took a simple collapse on a hoaxflex death trap wing they call "reflex" after I warned him over and over and over that he would die if he continued flying and pushing that crap trying to scam people into the most deadly gear in history. He chose not to be honest and to ignore the truth and continue pushing crap like scout and totally uncertified class gliders and then took a collapse exactly as I warned him he would and did the hoaxflex backflip 180 and locked into a face down spiral right into the ground barely glancing off a power line on the way down that would only have slowed him down a bit. Naturally the liars pushing the death trap gear don't want you to know the real truth though that he died from a simple collapse on a hoaxflex death trap glider exactly like I warned him he would over and over and over. In fact I warned him so many times not to fly that crap he literally blocked me from facebook about a month before he then died EXACTLY how I warned him he would. Of course then you add foolishness in asking how would crumple zone help if you flew into power lines.... Seriously?? If you actually did fly into power lines like the 70 year old guy did in St. George where it took out his glider and he fell straight down into a pile of rocks in a dry river bed.... and then completely walked away without a scratch because the crumple zone took the whole impact allowing him to walk away without injury. So yes crumple zone is life & death critical as is using some wisdom to cut through the total lies made up by the scammers pushing total death trap gear that just killed 7 more people recently on the very same type of gear Jeff died on and all pretty much exactly in the same way he died. One collapse on a hoaxflex death trap and you do a backflip 180 face first towards the ground. Add to that zero crumple zone to absorb the impact and it doesn't take much of a hit to your spine to break your back or die. Wake up to reality fine sir.
Just look at the facts not the bs. If you want to see the skill of an instructor then look at the real actual skill of their students. SUPER training is the only school in the world teaching true mastery level skills to students. It's really very easy to do some research and see that reality. I would love to see you be able to prove me wrong. If there were others producing skills in new students like you see at SUPER training I would love to promote them. One of the biggest jobs of an instructor is to make sure the student gets the best & safest gear. Watch the video serious of the 304 reasons competent pilots ONLY fly Flat Top paramotors. It's not rocket science. You don't even have to be a pilot to understand the facts shared. Once you start to understand the facts about gear you can take one look at any school and if they are not using Flat Top paramotors then you know straight away they are absolutely and totally incompetent. If I were wrong then a zillion people could come on here and explain in detail exactly why I'm wrong. Look at the date I wrote this... see anyone making a logical argument to refute this? Nope. The liars lie. They just can't refute the facts I share. If people really could refute the facts I share then they wouldn't need to bash, trash and lie. They could simply explain the facts like I do without any bs about it.
Hi Dell, interesting indeed. I have a question relating to IP. Do you own any patents and if so would you mind sharing what they are? My point is to find out why other manufacturers aren’t adding crumple zones etc in to their designs and all I can think of is that maybe you own patents on these ideas making it prohibitively expensive for other manufacturers to use? If my assumption is wrong then could you tell us why you think other manufacturers are not adding in crumple zones etc? Many thanks, Greg
You are trying to think rationally as to the mentality of completely irrational people fine sir. That's like thinking that if you just explain the real facts, logic and reason to a Hillary supporter that they would then immediately choose to vote for freedom instead of communism. This just isn't reality though. I've actually encouraged them to use some of my designs to at least update their paramotors or just sell Flat Top paramotors so they also can enjoy all the incredible benefits. Again it's like trying to explain freedom and logic to one that would support Bernie Sanders. Logic, reason and rational thought process and facts simply don't matter to these people. So no there is nothing at all preventing them from taking SUPER training and learning true and real skills the easy way and then selling the very best gear in the world other than their own bad choices.
Dell Schanze thanks for such a detailed response Dell I appreciate it. I would be interested to see crash tests performed on the top selling Paramotors to see how they stack up. Have you or would you be willing to have such tests performed on the Flat Top and side by side it with something like a Scout Carbon or Parajet Maverick? Maybe by an independent and completely non biased organization using g sensors ,super slow motion cameras etc? I’ve recently discovered your channel so I apologize if this is a conversation you have had before.
@@GregAnthonyHarris I'm pretty much the only non-biased person in the industry but trying to arrange such a test would be pretty much a waste of time as the parajet and scout are both fake copies of the old outdated skycruiser design and those pushing that crap would never ever even consider having them compared equally and fairly with a Flat Top. They have no crumple zone. ZERO. Any unit where the comfort bars flop up and down completely eliminate any crumple zone as the pilot can hit the ground without any resistance what so ever. Only with fixed solid hook in points where the comfort bars are stronger than the frame do you have actual crumple zone that will crush and absorb impact before it allows the pilot to impact the ground. So testing units without crumple zone vs the Flat Top would be great to show people that don't understand but why would anyone pushing the horrible gear even even consider agreeing to that when it would just make their incompetence blatantly obvious? Now if you wanted to secretly buy a scout and buy a parajet and guy a Flat Top and SHOW the difference it would be of great value but who is going to go through that expense when the outcome is so obvious? It's like comparing motor cycle safety vs a Mercedes. It's just kind of silly. You can watch the video where Tucker Gott just barely falls down the scout frame broke in half after smashing him face first into the ground. The fact are out there and blatantly obvious. The scout importer already died on a scout as well. Tucker is the replacement pitchman for the previous one that already died pushing such horrible gear. So while it might sound like a good idea to a logical and rational person you are just not dealing with rational people outside of the Flat Top. Yes it makes perfect sense to a rational person to ask why the heck would anyone buy a unit like the scout or parajet where a simple fall can result in chopping your hand up? Those that push the most horrible and unsafe gear just don't act rationally though so you can try to reason out why they do things as there is no reason or logic to it.
Thanks Dell lots to think on here. So hypothetically, if I were to raise the funding to purchase the top 5 selling Paramotors including the Flat Top to test under strict conditions with a certified flight safety board, you would be confident that the Flat Top would come out on top? If so then I’ll start developing a kickstarter.
@@GregAnthonyHarris The Flat Top doesn't even have competitors. Literally the only legit realistic competitors to the Flat Top are ignorance and sheer stupidity. So it wouldn't just win it would utterly destroy other units. As long as you understand what's important. So what the liars do is make up ridiuclous lies to try to deceive people away from facts and reality. Like Andy McAvin of MacPara who was claiming you didn't need kevlar netting saying it could cut your hand if you fell against it and how only idiots get shredded in their prop and that if you jus.... WHAP!! He got shredded in his prop... How do you compare a unit with crumple zone to those who have none? It's not really comparable. How do you compare a unit with face plant protection to a unit that has zero? How do you compare a unit that has a quick release harness that can float to a unit that sinks immediately and has so many buckles you can't get out to save your life which results in 5 deaths in a single year just from drowning alone on top of the countless other serious injuries & deaths? How can you compare a unit like a scout where the slightest bump or fall and the unit catastrophically self destructs as the cage easily flexes right back into the prop and the whole thing explodes? The logic to these things is so simple you don't really need the tests and doing the tests would be more just to completely mock those selling the total crap gear. I would be more than happy to support a comparison though as long as people know what actually happens in the sport and what safety features are actual important. The liars at scout even claim you don't need crumple zone as it's dangerous and then claim you would never land on it. Those very words came from Byron who you can watch on video pounding into rock hard ice with a Flat Top and having it completely save his life. He was so astounded at how well the crumple zone worked he did a commercial for the Flat Top right there on the ice. The not long later when he found he could make more money screwing people over pushing euro trash like the scout he now lies about what he said. These people are seriously sick. It's not about making honest comparisons. It's about crooked murderous scumbags that blatantly lie about the truth vs those who tell the truth and admit the Flat Top has zero competitors. Just watch the video series on the 304 reasons competent pilots only fly Flat Tops. 304!!! They are so obvious and logical you don't even have to be a pilot to realize how huge the difference is and how insanely sick people are that push anything other than a Flat Top specifically.
Evil people can tell every lie they can make up but the fact is that the truth just makes sense. Once you start to realize how obvious it is then you start to understand just how sick and purely evil those telling the lies truly are. They don't care one bit how many people they get killed with their blatant dishonesty and incompetence.
Poor guy has no crumple zone on his motor and appears to have no skill with that wing. Crash starts at 1:13. Man's hands appear to be about neck or head level, then straight arms at shoulder level while swinging under collapsing wing. Appears he glides in and never adds throttle. Thanks for speaking up about your Flat Top and Dominator and why they are better/best. I was going to ask what he should have done, but I think you said it best about the no/low hours training and result high crash rate.
Actually you bring up another important factor I didn't mention. This guys motor is OFF. One should never come in to land with their motor off intentionally as having that motor running gives you options and yes adding throttle can really save your butt in many different situations. If you take a full frontal collapse for example or an asymmetric collapse adding throttle can prevent you from losing any real altitude and help it recover faster by immediately raising your angle of attack. So those having students shut their motor off really should not be doing that. At SUPER training the students ALWAYS land with their motor on. Imagine a airplane shutting their motor off when coming into land. It's ridiculous as it eliminates options. So you brought up another very important factor as there are many details like that between competent training and what so many others out there are doing. Sometimes they use the excuse that they don't want people to risk breaking the prop but if their paramotors are so flimsy that the cage can flex into the prop so easily they should not be flying them at all let alone pushing beginners to fly them. The Flat Top is literally about 100 TIMES stronger and more durable so there is no such thing as a "prop strike" for those that fly Flat Tops. That term doesn't even exist at SUPER training as props simply don't strike the cage or frame at SUPER training. You would have to crash very hard and totally crush a Flat Top in order to get the prop to strike the cage. Most units like the scout, blackhawk, parajet, nirvana, fresh breeze, miniplane and so many others take only a few pounds to flex the cage or netting into the prop so the slightest bump and WHAP the whole unit explodes. There is a video of Tucker Gott for example where he falls down because he doesn't have proper skills and just that simple fall break the frame in half on the scout paramotor. Then he tries to fix it with super glue and duct tape..... UG. The Flat Top is not only about 100 TIMES stronger and more durable than a scout but also 7 lbs lighter.
lol this is a common misunderstanding of those new to the sport. Those like Tucker would never ever want to have a real conversation with me because they don't even understand the sport or the facts let alone know them well enough to discuss them or try to refute the very obvious facts I share. There is no debate. There is no argument. The facts are the facts. Do you see anywhere even 1 single person trying to refute the facts I share with intelligent information? Nope. They can't. Hundreds dead on the death traps they call "reflex" and all they do is talk trash. What you can see is other experienced pilots supporting the obvious truth in what I shared. It's blatantly obvious. Those like Tucker are so ignorant and dishonest there is no way you will get them to try to debate anything with me. I challenge you to try to set it up. I'll give you a $1000 off your Dominator if you can get them to do it. It would really open people's eyes because I would utterly destroy them with blatantly obvious truth and piles of it but that's why you would never ever get them to allow themselves to have to answer to the actual facts by those that know what they are talking about. It's really sad how many get seriously injured & killed because totally incompetent people pretend to be youtube experts.
@@DellSchanze The really scary thing about Tucker is that he is basically encouraging others to learn on the internet without receiving very important instruction and observed training.
I wonder how Tucker got over one million subscribers, and a well known instructor like Dell has only 40,000 subscribers! Can someone explain that to me ?
Tucker is more an entertainer than anything. He pushes lousy gear because he is paid to. He is young and does silly antics to attract attention and viewers but an expert like Dell he is NOT....NOT EVEN CLOSE. If you want to learn properly and get the safest gear then there is one choice..call Dell.
I've heard you mention certified gliders & certified height tie in points before, with no further explanation, and I assumed it was marketing hype. This is the first time I've heard their benefit explained, and I admit it makes sense. UA-camr Grant Thompson, who I respected, has just died in an apparent paragliding accident. The only clips I've seen of him flying are in tribute videos, & he is flying a paramotor. (Are the reports uneducated or was he into both sports? I don't know). However, it's really brought the safety aspect of the sport close to home.
Ir's not wise to pass off glider certifications as "hype". Or pass off anything from the best pilot and instructor as "hype" when it's so simply and specially explained. The media doesn't know a paraglider from a hang glider. So yes he was flying a paramotor and as usually it was not the safest on the market but quite the opposite of that. These deaths have pretty much nothing at all to do with the actual sport where people do listen to actual experts and get true and real training along with the best and safest gear. Real hype is those pushing totally uncertified gldiers onto complete newbies that have no clue how deadly they are even after sooooo many have died on that crap over and over in the exact same ways I've been warning people about for so many years it's just ridiculous.
He basically looped upside down face first into the ground. He hit the top right cage piece first so literally beyond face down. The glider was perfectly above him and open on the ground and not wadded up as it would have been had it been a collapse. So the glider was open and loaded he just flew upside down into the ground. He was on the absolute best and safest gear and had truly incredible skills from the best training in the world so with all the odds in his favor then you just chalk it up to crap happens or he was just pushing to do maneuvers he had not been trained to do yet. If you die on the absolute best & safest gear on the market then it's just your time to go. It's the only one in all of history and I have way way way over 11,000 flights without a single injury on the same gear.
@@Jonwes11 Yes the truth is the truth. If one who followed my advice dies they would do so on the very best & safest paramotor with the best & safest paraglider and the best reserve parachute and with the best training and skills. Yes accidents can happen. An accident is what you call it AFTER they got the very best & safest gear and training in the world but crap still happened. The guy in the above video had the absolute worst paramotor with the absolute worst and most deadly glider and without a reserve and without any proper training. It's the complete opposite of an accident as the scam "instructor" stacked all the odds against the guy not in his favor. Sadly those like you don't care about truth or reality though. You just want to talk trash without the slightest logic to it.
Didn't really see the guy bury the breaks. Videos a bit grainy, but look like he had his arms at most chest level when the drop starts. Also how the glides all of a sudden shoots to the left violently doesn't seem like break input at all. Looks like he's on a high aspect ratio wing and hit rotor.
Notice his hook in points are up above his head. The certified height hook in points are down near your ribs. So with totally uncertified height hook in points yanking brakes to your waste is burying the brakes which is why he stalled the glider. There is no turbulence. Look at the trees. Do you see them moving? Look at the grass, do you see it moving at all? No wind means no rotor and look at the time of day. There was no turbulence at all here. The problem was horrible training and horrible gear. You can see him weight shifting to the left while then stuffing right brake. THAT is how you spin a glider. You can see it's a totally uncertified death trap glider called the MacPara Charger. Again had that been a certified glider with certified height hook in points this would not have happened because a glider like the Dominator is extremely stall and spin resistant. Why the heck would an "instructor" put a total newbie on a complete death trap glider with a paramotor from the 1980s??? Once he spun the glider it then shot forwards trying to restart as it should and then you can see him slam the brakes again preventing that from happening. This video is a perfect example of absolutely horrible instruction and horrible gear. Never in all of history has this ever happened at SUPER training and SUPER training is the biggest paramotor school in the entire world. Just search youtube for "world's best paramotor training" as every video is of me and SUPER training. Then LOOK at my skill level so you understand the skill level of whom is sharing these details. All these details are very obvious for a skilled pilot. This is the whole point of going to a true and real instructor that knows what the heck they are doing and exactly how to train people properly to prevent this from happening and what gear to put people on to maximize their safety.
@@fulks19 I would highly recommend not allowing anyone to fly completely uncertified death trap gliders or paramotors that haven't had even basic safety advances in over 40 years and realistically anyone that hasn't graduated SUPER training to fly at your field just for liability reasons. This James guy sadly has a 100% chance he will die just based completely on the gear he flies. He has a 100% chance he WILL take a collapse and it's just a matter of time. WHEN that happens he will do a back flip 180 and lock into a spiral face first towards the ground just like 12 others who died in a single year on that same gear. James I would highly recommend you stay on the ground and do not even think of trying to fly again until you get a Flat Top, Dominator and actually graduate SUPER training. Can you reverse kite no hands? Can you kite up a vertical wall even one less than 1 ft high? Can you perfectly maintain the altitude of your butt using the glider give or take one inch? If not you lack even the most basic ability to control a paraglider and should be learning to fly properly not searching for fields fine sir. Just look at your skill level honestly. Either you have true and real skills or you don't. There shouldn't be any opinion or bias about it. Skill is skill. It's either there or it's not and if you don't have even the most basic skills you should not be trying to fly as it's only a matter of time before you have a very serious issue fine sir. Just call me and come do it the right way. 800-707-2525
Thanks for your offer to use your field. I appreciate that. Because of my skill and the skill of all the SUPERS I fly with we can literally launch just about anywhere so we don't really need a large field just a tiny turn out or open pile of rocks to launch from or even a barn roof will do. We can even launch from fence posts. Rarely would we take the time to drive to an actual field because it's so easy for us to launch from pretty much anywhere. I really appreciate the offer though and if it were ever convenient I would be more than happy to fly from your area. I would highly recommend you double check people's gear and skill before you let them fly there though as there is some seriously horrific gear in this sport and so many people don't have a clue what they are doing it can really jack up areas. If someone is a SUPER graduate with a Flat Top & Dominator you should also find they are not the types to lie, cheat or sue either so a much nicer crowd than so many others. Hope that helps. Again I appreciate your nice comment.
Hey Dell! No need to worry about my dad and I. We actually trained with the world’s best paramotor instructor. Captain Kurt Fister! I don’t know if you’ve heard of him. A Fresh Breeze and a Power Atlas are the safest you can get!
No and that wouldn't really work because the stall speed changes with many variables. That isn't really what the problem is though these people are very specifically being scammed with totally bogus training and gear so horrifically unsafe it can't pass ANY level of basic safety tests. To stall a quality glider you would have to bury the brakes as hard and as far as you could physically pull them and then hold them there for about 8 seconds. So it's absolutely not something that is going to happen accidentally with proper gear and training. These people dying don't have even the most basic ability to properly control a paraglider as they didn't get squat for actual practice with the glider and then they were sold totally uncertified death trap wings they call "reflex" which literally have a 100% chance of trying to kill you. So the solution is real actual training and real actual gear that passes actual safety tests along with paramotors designed to protect you from a stall even if you did do it. With a Flat Top & Dominator you could literally stall it from 10,000 ft straight into the ground and the odds are you would still walk away uninjured. It would be incredibly difficult to stall though like I said above. Of course you are trying to think logically about this issue as though those causing these problems would want to fix the problem. These people are like Hillary supporters where logic, reason and facts just don't matter to them so no you can't just think they would do something logical or rational as they won't. They have been getting people seriously injured & killed like this for over 40 years and are actually working to make it WORSE not better exactly like those that would vote for Hillary. So the key is not to deal with people that irrational and dishonest just like it's simply logical not to vote for those like Hillary.
Send invitation to all paramotor UA-cam personalities ... have competition in person ... or ... set challenges ... each personality video themselves accomplishing challenge ... we can evaluate each on UA-cam
Yes this is exactly what the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships is. Anyone from anywhere in the world can just take a video of themselves doing the task (which is a circle foot drag) and then just post the video. No need to travel around the world or pay money or go through any bs. Just SHOW your skills and if you are the best then you win or you can also see very clearly where you place by the exact number of circles you are able to achieve without an error. The more skill you have the longer you can hold the circle foot drag without messing up. The WPPGA Paramotor World Championships is really the ONLY truly honest skill against skill alone competition I know of in the world right now. There is a ton of bs and fake competitions though like those where they pretend to race around pylons. It's total bs because no competent pilot would ever do that first of all and then it's impossible to compete fairly because the slightest change in wind conditions and the guy with more wind has no chance to beat the guy with less wind. Plus it's bs because it's often someone's buddy running the stopwatch so I have witnessed people like Jeff Goin cheat badly. You can even see him cheat on video in the national glider control competition but my students and I still beat him and all his fake instructors despite him cheating. So yes I would highly encourage people to CHALLENGE those around the world to SHOW their skills and SHOW where they can place in the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships. Those that refuse are not those that care about honesty. Honest people are happy to give respect and kudos to those who legitimately beat them and legitimately have more skill and ability than them. The biggest issue in the sport are those without even the most basic skills pretending to be instructors. Those like Kurt Fister, Aviator ppg, blackhawk and sooooo many others literally can't even do a circle foot drag let alone compete for numbers let alone have their students do the same task. So it makes it very simple to cut through the bs by demanding people SHOW their actual skill and SHOW how their skill directly compares to other people's skills in the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships. Thanks for your comment.
There's far too much hyperbole, for this video to maintain credibility. Training is critical, glider control is essential, both on the ground, and in the air. To say that no other company has innovated, in the past forty years, is a blatant lie. It is true that uncertified gliders have the tendency to be inappropriate for beginners. To say that none will pass a test however, is irresponsible. High hook in points have their advantages, as well as their disadvantages. UA-cam, is intended to be entertainment. While you can get excellent advice from the platform, NONE of it counts as training. even from our friend Super Dell. Flying can be as safe as you make it, or not. The key is finding someone you trust to give the training. For some people, Super Dell is "That Guy". This is not a "One size fits all" type situation. Do your own research. While I am not an instructor, and I have not gone through "Super Training", I too can kite, no hands. Wall walking, can be fun. Just get permission from the property owner first. -OK, like Dell says, "Let's go flying!"
Name one other paramotor that has good protection from the prop, crumple zone, face plant protection, certified height hook in points and a quick release harness let alone the hundreds of other innovations the Flat Top has others don't? You can't because ZERO exist. Name one single glider they call "reflex" that passed real certifications in "reflex mode"? You can't because zero exist. This video SHOWS a guy crash because of uncertified height hook in points so again you show ignorance. You have just proven that you CAN'T be trusted and don't know what you are talking about. People dying because of very specific issues with the gear is not "as safe as you make it". It's blatant dishonesty and incompetent on the part of the scam instructors who pushed this total crap gear onto this and other newbies and then ignorant people like you who talk trash to the actual experts SHOWING the facts. Yes safety features are good for everyone. Who benefits from chopping their fingers off or breaking their back without crumple zone??? Every single main paragliding harness now comes with air bags and foam padding under the seat to address the countless back injuries. The Flat Top crumple zone is at least 50 times more effective than 6-8 inches of foam. Where is ANY video of you or your instructor reverse kiting no hands like this brand new SUPER student: ua-cam.com/video/757j82lTkVU/v-deo.html where is ANY video of you or your instructor kiting up a pole like this SUPER student: ua-cam.com/video/ob9QCbQS89M/v-deo.html SHOW ME. Completely ignorant people like you trying to deceive people with totally false information like you have hear gets people seriously injured & killed!!! YOU are the problem and you show exactly how ignorant and dishonest you are with this very post. You can't back up anything you say and it's blatantly obvious you have no clue what you are talking about. Calling the facts "hyperbole" is seriously sick and evil. It's completely ignorant people like this that get people seriously injured & killed on a regular basis from incompetence and dishonesty exactly like he just posted!! This post shows exactly what I'm talking about. There are many totally ignorant and dishonest people just like this guy who bash, trash and lie without the slightest care for people's lives. What kind of sicko lies about life saving FACTS shared by experts??!!! Seriously how do people get to this level of dishonesty in their life? Literally calling life saving facts "LIES"??!!!!! The guy just pounded in and the incompetent dishonest newbie doesn't care one bit and doesn't even try to address or look at the actual facts. This is exactly how soooooooo many get seriously injured & killed in the sport. Dishonest incompetent newbies just like this lie up and down to people trying to deceive them away from the blatantly obvious and simple facts. Where is even one single video of this guy SHOWING SUPER skills at all let alone straight out of his initial training????? This guy literally got chucked in the air without the slightest ability to truly active pilot his wing and then instead of sharing that FACTS that could help save people's lives he instead LIES about that fact blatantly and tries to deceive others away from the facts. It's like logic, reason, facts and honesty just don't exist in so many in the world today.
It’s common sense to just look at the Hook in points. Regardless of your rant about entertainment. All you need to do is look at the Hook in points and the length of available break. And the certification of your instructor. And the certification of your glider. Makes a lot of sense. Don’t know why you struggle Mark?
Just were is it written in UA-cam's policy that it is only for entertainment? Do you really believe that? Why would a company make a wing that can pass certification not have it certified? That makes no sense because certification will sell more wings. Just because you trust an instructor is a poor reason for choosing that instructor. Many people trusted Richard Nixon too. Enough to elect him president! Trust alone will let you down. I'd rather have a doctor that's the best in his field of expertise operate on me even if I can't stand him as a person rather than a drinking buddy doctor that barely skated through medical school. The gloves been dropped, let's see some skills. Since Dell is claiming best in most of the events that leaves second and third place wide open!
@@BrightBlueJim No logic to that one man. That's like saying that Toyota needs other manufacturers to admit they are the best or you won't believe the truth they share and SHOW. How many other car manufacturers are going to admit that Toyota is the best? Yup zero. That's because ZERO other companies will be honest. So zero is the normal number of honest people out there but in this case I seem to be the only honest person in the entire industry. Again that would seem logical as it's quite common to have zero. So if Toyota says they have 600 hp and SHOW they can run 0-60 in 2.4 seconds you still won't believe them because you claim that only if BMW admits Toyota is better will you then accept it's true? I SHOWED the safety issue. I explained it in detail. I've SHOWN the many tests I've done on other gliders where they don't do this. Since there are zero other honest people in the industry you can ignore the facts but the facts are still the facts even if you don't use logic and reason to accept them. I am THE best paramotor pilot in the world. Anyone can see from my piles of videos that I'm doing things nobody else on earth can do. I'm THE best paramotor instructor in the world. Again anyone can see from the videos that my students have far more skill than students trained anywhere else. Again just because no competitors are going to be honest and admit these facts doesn't mean they are not facts as the facts are quite obvious and logical and the videos backing them up are plentiful.

YES! 60 hours (before) you fly. That is real ground school. That is what I want to hear. Wing control and conditioning to make corrections from memory, long before you have to deal with while airborne. Smart Training.
My brother is looking to get in the sport in Australia and I’m a helicopter pilot with some obvious knowledge in aviation. I think your videos are extremely accurate and make a lot sense. Thank you for leading this sport and educating everyone. I’m encouraging my brother to train with you.
60 hrs of glider control is very respectable and new pilots should have it.
Why would a paramotor company like Parajet or Scout or Blackhawk design and build a product they know is dangerous? That doesn't sound like a good business model. Why would a company intentionally sell "death traps"? Are you saying those companies just don't care if someone dies using their faulty equipment? I find that hard to believe.
It's because finding honest people in this day and age is getting very rare. That is absolutely correct they don't give one single crap about truth or people's lives. Why else would they be pushing units without any crumple zone and without even having certified height hook in points and with no protection from the prop and after 5 deaths in one year from drowning they still don't have quick release harnesses like the Flat Top? You can go through the whole video series of the 304 reasons competent pilots only fly Flat Tops and it makes it extremely obvious these other people just don't give a crap. The scout pitchman DIED after I warned him over and over it would happen. I told the liars that push the scout that one of them would die if they continued to sell such horrifically unsafe and and only a bit later Jeff died exactly how I warned them. They just ignored Jeff's death and now pay Tucker to promote exactly the same horrifically unsafe gear with exactly the same issues that got Jeff killed and without a single update. Several more just died on the hoaxflex death trap gliders because of how unsafe the wings are. Did they recall them or try to fix the problem or make updates to address the safety issues? Nope. Not a single one. 19 DEAD in a single year and they just keep pushing the same crap. Way way over 100 people have been shredded in props but where is any unit other than the Flat Top that was specifically designed to address that issue??? People have been getting shredded in props in exactly the same way for over 40 years and still not a single update from the dishonest people. So trying to assume that something is safe just because someone sells it is a foolishness that can and will literally get you killed. There is no license in this sport there is no regulation so you are completely on your own to look at which gear is designed the best. Car companies didn't fix their issues either until after they were regulated and mandated to do so. How many died without crumple zones or seat belts before they actually were forced to address the issue? There are even certifications for the gliders but these scammers still push totally uncertified death traps wings just like Tucker promotes onto completely newbies that have no clue what the differences are. You just watched the facts straight up in this very video as you can see the guy crashed and see exactly why he crashed clear as can be. You don't even have to be a pilot to understand the specifics of the problem once it's explained in this video. Look at all the thumbs down from the liars that absolutely hate these facts and truths being shared. Yes there are very very seriously sick murderous scumbags in this industry and if you don't LOOK and use your brain you might just be their next victim.
My guess? 💰💰💰!
@@harleyrdr1 Yes you got it. Instead of updating their gear and fixing the problems they just keep pushing the same cheap crap they have made for years with exactly the same issues.
I have to admit Dell that I've been pretty critical of some of your videos. I wouldn't even consider myself a newbie since I've never even touched a paramotor before. I don't even know what a wing feels like. I'm still in the research phase and trying to weed out the BS and I'll admit, there are other channels that I have subscribed to that don't necessarily agree with you, but this is probably your best video that I've personally seen. This makes total sense and I appreciate this video. I think I know where my money is going when I'm ready. Thanks.
For those new to the sport just take it one thing at a time. Something is either true or it isn't. Challenge others to try to SHOW their "instructors" can do what new SUPER students can do. When they can't or completely refuse and talk bs giving every excuse as to why they can't SHOW a video of their actual skill it really makes thing very clear. Then if they claim their gear is better again just demand that they SHOW it's better. If they say their wing is faster demand that they SHOW the gps speed clocked in opposite directions so you can see what the actual truth is instead of fall for bs. For those that demand people back up what they say they will find it's very very simple to see who is telling the truth and who is just full of it. It's really easier than new people realize to cut through the bs. If someone is trying to push you towards a wing but can't SHOW you it's characteristics that they have personally tested you know they are all talk. There is no opinion to glider characteristics other than maybe handling. All others are easily measurable so those that care about truth can SHOW the difference of what's what. Anyone can call themselves an instructor but only those who really are can SHOW their new students demonstrating true and real actual skill.
Okay, they make wings for different types of flying. You are saying for someone new to the sport, they should use a wing with built in safety features? Also, my experience tells me even on the wing you keep pushing, one can find themselves in an oscillation as well. Am I wrong? Further, one can stall the wing you are pushing if they want to. Am I wrong? @@DellSchanze
Hi SD..I am not familiar with the competitions through which you earned the titles you mentioned. WPPGA WC and Glider Control Champion. Is it a series of events that must be participated in, or a single annual event. Can you post a link to the website for the specifics on this years event(s), and maybe for 2018? For a World Champion title, there certainly must video clips, news articles, etc that we can find on internet. Who were the 2018 second and third place finishers? I assume that these are international events, hence the World Champion....With that, I would love to see if I recognize any of the other international participants.
The WPPGA Paramotor World Championships is very easy to search as it's all over youtube. The US National Glider Control Championships is also on video ua-cam.com/video/yOZ3RKLb6xk/v-deo.html After team Flat Top took all 4 spots in this competition put on by the usppa scam they found that even cheating they couldn't beat the best in the world so they then banned the best and their own champion from coming again. Then through their own sheer incompetence getting people seriously injured & killed the whole thing was completely shut down by the city government and now no longer exists. Many of the major people in the sport were there though so it's still a very good representation today of what the outcome was. My students even beat the fake usppa scam instructors as well as Jeff Goin who set up the whole usppa scam that sells totally fake ratings to completely incompetent people who don't have even the most basic skill themselves let alone the ability to teach others. So now the only really legit competition where you can see actual skill against skill alone is the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships. Since those without the skills to compete are often not very honest though many refuse to compete as they don't want anyone to know what the actual truth is. So yes people should demand they SHOW what they can do as it completely cuts out the total bs and dishonesty if people would just SHOW their actual skills in the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships. There are many totally fake competitions out there setup so the scammers can pretend to be champions and pretend to win competitions where they won't even allow the skilled pilots to compete as no competent pilot would even do the task in the first place. Like "pylong racing" for example which is a complete scam as ZERO competent pilots would ever fly around in circles back through their own wake low to the ground while full speedbar. That's sheer stupidity not a competition. So claiming to be champions doing what no competent pilot would ever do is seriously messed up. The WPPGA Paramotor World Championships is the only really legit skill against skill competition that I know of currently. Absolutely anyone anywhere can compete by just posting their video of themselves. They can take as many tries as they like so there is no luck or bias. They just post their very best that they can try hundreds of times anywhere anytime they choose so nobody can claim they had had some unfair disadvantage.
@@yazvoldz7782 For those who don't follow God and don't have the gift of the Holy Ghost and are not a member of his one true church it's pretty much impossible to judge someone else as being prideful without being prideful yourself since it's you judgement them. So instead of making false judgement against true disciples of Christ as the hypocrite why not just sincerely seek to follow God yourself and actually follow his commandments?
@@billtruttschel There is no Xenu. Only the real actual God hears and answers prayers to BILLIONS who ask. Only a fool mocks the real God when they admit they know nothing, saw nothing, heard nothing and experienced nothing. You literally admit you know absolutely ZERO on the subject then but foolishly mock and push lies. So which spirit do you think you are following that prompts you to make such a fool of yourself? Yup that's the devil and yes that's exactly how real he is as well. No logical rational intelligent person would ever bash & mock on a subject they admit they know absolutely ZERO about. Only those following promptings from teh devil act in such a totally absurd and dishonest manner. Are you totally dishonest like this on other subjects? Do you try to mock and bash experts in other subjects on subjects you know zero about? So you are not naturally a total idiot but somehow when it comes to the most important subject of all you then act like a complete fool and liar. Why? Yup the devil is very real and is promoting you to make a fool of yourself like that.
@@billtruttschel Again you respond with total dishonesty and ignorance instead of trying to understand basic logic. Why allow the devil to continue to make a fool of you? The one true church on earth today comes with direct confirmation of it's truth from God directly!! Yes God himself confirms it's truth directly to each and every person who sincerely seeks to know. So lying and mocking only shows just how real the devil is and how big of a fool he is making of you.
@@billtruttschel Yes misery loves company which is why the devil works to make you as unhappy as he is. As for me and mine we will follow the real God who is the ONLY one that hears and answers prayers. You can continue lying or you can choose to be honest. That choice is yours but the consequences of your choice are not yours. You WILL face Jesus Christ when you die exactly as many who have come back from the dead have attested to.
Thank you for making this clear to people who are interested even if they are not currently flying. Once this lockdown ends I am going to train with you! You clearly demonstrate a mastery of your field, and as someone who works hard to lead people into the future of my industry (hypnotherapy), I admire how you get past the haters and show the real workings of the sport.
THERE IS HOPE FOR THE FUTURE, THIS YOUNG ONE IS RIGHT!
I just went to super training and we had 7 days of glider control. It was brutal. By end of day 1 we barely kept the glider up for 5 seconds. By day 3 we were in crazy wind and getting control. By day 6/7 almost all of us were in full control. When we flew at the end it was hard but all of the training beforehand was KEY. And I used to watch Trucker Gott but realized all he does is chase clout like calling Dunkin donuts while in the air. Landing near a road which that in and of itself could take drivers eyes off the road. He is dangerous. Dell and his team are excellent. I watched Trevor stop a guy about to turn and go who had his brake like wrapped around the riser and he was nearly 75yds away. I highly recommend going to training. It's 12 days but flying is worth it but flying knowing how to control it is so much better.
OMG when he shows you his missing finger - DO YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE THIS!? Listen to this guy!
I'm happy I found this video. Thank you for the post.
I think one advantage of flatop is they train at the beach. 60 hours of me ground training is running for 60 hours in nil wind. That being said...go train where there is wind and you don't have to be triathlete to learn.
Amen to that. You nailed it. Mastery of real actual skills takes hours and hours of practice. You are NOT getting real training from anyone pretending to train inland.
wow i think that just paraglider have this kind of accident... thanks for this info
I can't thank you enough for this video ,you have explained several things that i was thinking about .So glad i've seen this video . What a top bloke THANKS ALOT
Thank you, Dell, for this class. If possible, could you someday give your opinion on Brazilian 's brand, Sol Paragliders? Thanks for every advice and life savings.
I've flown some SOL gliders and they were terrible. That doesn't mean they are all terrible that was just my experience with those I've flown. The Dominator is absolutely incredible though so it would be well worth getting.
Dell, Some great advice there and totally agree. If people actually watch this, then maybe there would be less accidents in this sport. Too much cheap rubbish equipment available now.
Wow what an eye opening video.As a fixed wing pilot i understand exactly what you said about the position of the hook in points,and how it limits over control resulting in a stall.And then you cleared my head on the difference between a certified class wing,ie ABCD and the rest.What i see coming here is a time when the FAA will say enough is enough.Too many people are dying.That will result in over kill of regulations concerning design and training standards.The things that those in the industry could do much cheaper if they had the will.Then like other kinds of flying,the imposed regs will raise costs out of many peoples grasp.And then without the customer base many of these manufacturers of unsafe equipment will go bankrupt!!!We have seen this cycle before.
Yea you really don't want regulation as there is no reason for a $5000 Cessna to cost $400,000 if it were not for the FAA. In a self regulated sport we simply need more people to stand up and share the truth like in this video. Then people can choose to make intelligent choice or die foolishly. Of course those committing the fraud and pushing death trap gear like scout and gliders they call reflex that already killed their own pitchman are liable for the carnage & deaths they cause through their intentional deception. So really the system should work itself out.
From my ELSA training, the video looked like the guy was pulling right brake to turn right but was goingt to slow. I was trained to line my ELSA to the runway flying with control bar pulled all the way towards me engine in idle. This had me flying at 65 - 70 Knots. The prop speed determines whether you climb or land. My instructor told me to never push the control bar forward on a landing to get the ELSA higher in the air if I was to low. Always apply power. Other wise you stall and fall right out of the sky. This guy was going to slow and stalled the lift on the right side wing tip. Then he tried to compensate with the left brake and had a complete collapse. Meaning he kept the right brake on and applied the left to collapsed both wing tips. He should have applied prop speed and backed off on the right brake and either abort landing or land further down the field. This is my observation.
Yea without proper training or gear it's pretty sickening how the same old stupid things happen over and over in the exact same ways. Had that been a Dominator he wouldn't have stalled without extreme force and effort and with proper training the odds of him burying the brakes and holding them there as hard as he could with be pretty minimal.
So if there is no license how did you get all these ratings? I’m just curious cause the more I look into this sport there seems a lot of bashing going on and not sure what too believe to be honest, is there any laws or anything else too look up that’s written down that’s factual?
It's really very simple to cut the crap between trash talkers and those who share the truth by simply looking at the skill level of whom you are talking to. It's a commandment from God to warn thy neighbor of pitfalls that lay before them so warning people of others who are knowingly incompetent and dishonest is not trash talking. It's not about putting people down it's about warning people of the life & death critical factors their very life depends on. One can very quickly and very easily figure out who is honest and who is lying by simply taking it one piece at a time. What someone says is either true or it isn't. Challenge people to back up what they say. So when scammers like Kurt Fister pretend to be the "top us instructor" DEMAND that he SHOWS himself trying to do what you can see brand new SUPER students can do. How can someone be an instructor at all let alone the top instructor if they literally can't even do what brand new SUPER students can do? Challenge other "instructors' to SHOW themselves and SHOW their students doing what you can see SUPER students doing. Just take something basic like reverse kiting no hands for example: ua-cam.com/video/757j82lTkVU/v-deo.html either someone has these skills or they don't. There is no opinion to it. Then challenge other instructors to SHOW themselves and SHOW their new students walking up a vertical wall for example: ua-cam.com/video/geha95mEtoY/v-deo.html why can't other "instructors" do what brand new SUPER students can do? It's really not difficult to cut the crap as those who are honest are more than happy to back up what they say and SHOW what they can do while liars simply can't and won't. Here is a SUPER student who set a world record knocking out 530 flights during his 10 days of training. You can even see that another student in the same class rocked 186 flights during the same class. Where is ANY video of ANY other school in the world SHOWING their students gaining this level of skill or experience during their training: ua-cam.com/video/ZLZkrp-Obtc/v-deo.html It's not trash talking to point out the fact that there are bogus instructors who literally don't have even the most basic skills themselves. Wouldn't you want someone to warn you if you were about to take "training" from someone who literally can't even reverse kite no hands?
Dell Schanze I’m not sure you answered my question, I’m not doubting your flying ability I’m asking how do you get a rating, someone had to give you the title of worlds best power paraglider Pilot, How did you get the wppga title, and do all your students after training get a rating?
@@tonymarzano2220 To be the WPPGA Paramotor World Champion you simply win the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships by SHOWING you have the best skills in the world. It's open for absolutely anyone anywhere. I'm currently #1 and #2 is one of my students. #3 is a guy in Europe. Skill is skill. You either have it and can show it or you don't. If you can do what no others on earth can do then you are the best. It's really quite simple. By SHOWING what I can do I've opened myself up to have absolutely anyone in the world beat me fair and square with no bs about it. If the trash talkers were better they could very easily SHOW it by beating me and that would be that. Why can't anyone beat me? Anyone at all?? Hello? Just knock out 21 circles in a row in a foot drag and presto you win. It's really THAT simple. IF you have the skill to do it anyway. A circle foot drag is an incredible example of active piloting. If you can do a circle foot drag the odds of taking a collapse are extremely low because the exact same skill it takes to maintain perfect altitude while flying in circles is the very same skill it takes to prevent collapses. So really everyone in the world should work to compete in the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships so they can see for themselves where their skill place according to other pilots in the world.
Some people don’t like the truth that will save their lives, go figure 🤔
These are all good points, especially for noobs who tend to do the funky chicken. Those certified points are also great for weight shift so you can fly like a real paraglider. And yes, I am aware of the 'conflict' in the sport re. Dell and his designs. You're exactly correct about Tucker et al and their incomprehensible lack of basic wing control knowledge and experience.
Iv been looking for a good trainer iv looked at capt kurt and many others but after watching your videos i believe ill be a lot safer under your training.
Yes no question about that. Scammers like Fister literally can't even do what my brand new students can do. Feel free to challenge him to even try to compete with the skills of brand new SUPER students: ua-cam.com/video/RXC5Jx_URoQ/v-deo.html In this sport people really need to look closely at the skill level of whom they talk to and compare the skills of the students to see who is the better instructor. You won't find any videos from others acting as instructors showing their new students doing things like SUPER students do. Almost no others acting as instructors can even do what our students can do. It's very sad and messed up. People really need to do their research and compare skills for skills. Here is a video showing many of my skills doing what no others on earth can do: ua-cam.com/video/1gLA5T0x73c/v-deo.html buying training is buying skills. Pretty important to make sure people are actually teaching people skills before you try to buy skills from them.
I’m so glad I saw your video. Me and a couple of buddies have wanted to get into this sport! Definitely going to take your advice when we jump the gun and very valuable information!
Ah thanks for the nice feedback. Feel free to call me anytime if you would like more specific answers to any questions you have. 800-707-2525. It is seriously the coolest thing you will ever do as long as you get the right gear & training. It's very sad how much crap is out there though and those pretending to be instructors who literally don't have even the most basic skills. People really need to look at the skill level of whom they talk to in this sport.
Thank you Dell, I really needed to know this, I'm working to get a good paramotor/glider & i would rather know more about certified hook in points, because no one talks about this at all !!!
Watch my whole video series on the 304 reasons competent pilots only fly Flat Tops as there are literally hundreds of details like that which you would just never think of and certainly nobody else knows enough to explain them. Here is the first video: ua-cam.com/video/KyVWAJ1kRBo/v-deo.html really you don't want to pick out gear yourself. It makes the most sense to let the best & most experienced pilot and instructor in the world do it with you. Just call me at 800-707-2525 as the most difficult question of all is which size of Dominator to get. That will change quickly based on your skill level. If you take SUPER training you could graduate in 10 days with 530 flights of experience are beyond expert level skills so your first glider could be an extra small or something like that depending on how well you do. If you don't get SUPER training then you won't have even the most basic skills so you really should't be flying at all but at the very least you would fly a completely different size like a large or extra large. It's important to always fly the smallest Dominator you can easily launch and have the skill for because it gives you the widest range of wind conditions you can fly in. Get a huge glider and you are stuck on the ground 99% of the time. Get your skills up to fly the XXS Dominator and you can fly pretty much anywhere, anytime in anything but really bad weather. There are so many details to this sport and most out there pretending to be instructors just don't have a clue. Most can't even do what brand new SUPER students can do. Just compare skills and it becomes quite simple. Try to find any other instructor who can even do something basic like reverse kite no hands for example: ua-cam.com/video/757j82lTkVU/v-deo.html if you can't do it then you can't deal with higher winds because brakes creates drag so it's critical to understand body input. People can't teach what they themselves don't even know and can't even do which is why you just don't see other people's students SHOWING real actual skills like you see at SUPER training: ua-cam.com/video/uHFnDQp5QSo/v-deo.html The same skill it takes to kite up a vertical wall is the same skill it takes to prevent collapses in the air. If you can't do it you can't do it. Notice them get hit with a gust so strong it pops one of them about 3-4 ft off the ground but despite that violent gust he maintains perfect control and lands and continues kiting without the slightest issue. This is real actual skill. It takes reflexes. You don't have time to think about what you are doing. If you don't have real actual skills it's just a nightmare to try to fly. When you start comparing skills against skills equals for equals it becomes extremely obvious who is actually teaching skills and who absolutely is not as they don't even have actual skills.
I’ve never had an injury, next minute shows missing finger 😂
Never had an injury on a Flat Top paramotor. The finger was from a motorcycle accident as I've shared below several times now.
Although many people say bad things about you I think you are the best. I have researched this sport looking for the safest gear and instruction and you have impressed me the most.
Unfortunately for me, it cost to much.
Can a 62 YO get into this sport if he's still in good physical shape? And is Flat Top the only motor you recommend because its proven safer or because you are there spokesman?
Thanks for making this video.
Yes they sure can! We get lots of older guys who come through Super Training and do great! Please give us a call, we'd love to tell you more (800-707-2525)
Before I came across your channel I was looking at nearby paramotor schools with an eye primarily towards price(while simultaneously searching for videos and customer reviews I still haven't managed to find...)
Suffice to say that at this time I'm convinced I'll be heading down to Texas to go through your program, hopefully before this time next year. I'm convinced by watching your training videos that this is a case of get-what-you-pay-for; I can't even SEE what I'm paying for at the other two schools I had thought I had narrowed it down to!
I'm honestly kind of glad that the need to save up is giving me plenty of time to do research and watch these channels 😅 impatient, but glad!
Yes you did a good job in looking at the skill levels as it really opens your eyes. Almostno others acting as instructors can even do what you see our students do. It's fun to challenge other instructors to show a video of themselves doing thinks like you see super students do as their responses are quite eye opening.
Another huge thing to take notice of is that you don't pay for damage to gear at super training. Shred a $3800 glider in the prop and WE pay for it not you. This is huge and something others don't talk about as they make huge money when you mess up and destroy the flimsy gear. We guarntee that we train you so well that you will not be damaging any gear at super training despite students getting up to 530 flights each! SUPER training is truly the only way to go.
Oh, thank you for your life saving advice I will definitely check the credentials of my instructor when I decide to do this, thanks again.
Feel free to let me help you. Just send me the name of the school and instructor and I can check them out for you or point you in the right direction. 800-707-2525
You're pretty much a God. No man could ever come close to your God like flying. I bow to the all mighty dell. We are not even worthy to watch this video.
Nope I am not Jesus Christ. I am merely his brother.
You are so correct, flying anything is an "AQUIRED INSTINCT" NOT a natural instict and requires good training and PRACTICE. This is a great video, Thank You!
What class paramotor is the Electic SP140? do you do anything with an Electic Paramotor? Any recommendations or videos?
It's in the class of it totally sucks rocks so badly that no real pilots actually fly them. I've set countless world records with gas. Electric just isn't there yet. Yes I developed the first electric paramotor on the market and have offered an electric option since the beginning but unlike others I tell people the truth that for me personally gas is the only way to go. I don't try to sales pitch people with hype. The truth is gas is by far the way to go not even comparable.
@@DellSchanze - If someone only wants only 30 - 45 min flights what would exactly suck about this? What Electric Paramotor is better than the SP140?
Ah yea 30 minutes... you mean absolutely straight and level on a huge super super efficient and less safe glider that is so slow you can then only fly 4% of the time as you have to wait for just the right conditions... That's not flying, that's sitting in the air and it gets boring after 5 minutes. Only complete newbies on their first flights fly huge gigantic gliders straight and level. The second you start to gain 50-100 flights you start dropping glider size after glider size for more speed so that you can be safer and deal with higher wind conditions. Then you start to crank some turns and have some fun and pretty soon you are full throttle the whole time you fly. Now your battery lasts about 8 minutes. There is a reason you don't see any skilled pilots fly them. Power is safety. Duration is safety. Even if you could get 30 minutes perfectly straight and level just barely maintaining altitude... you can't fly for 30 minutes. You could fly maybe 11 minutes with 11 minutes for the return flight leaving only an 8 minute safety margin. So you could explore you neighbors yard for a few minutes then come back to your yard. Electric is awesome but the batteries are just not there. Crank up the power and you draw 200 amps. That reaaally starts heating things up and killing your battery in minutes. Even 2 hours on a tank of gas is just barely enough. That's 45 minutes in one direction, 45 minutes back with 30 minutes reserve. That's enough to go fly Moab or the Grand Canyon or really explore places that would blow your mind but electric is pretty useless. It's a novelty nobody really uses. So I'm glad you asked me. I just hope you realize how much money I wasted to know exactly what I'm sharing with you. If you want to fly then you take SUPER training and get a Flat Top & Dominator and do it exactly how I recommend. Man I wish I had a me when I got into the sport. I wasted sooooo much money on crap gear and bogus training. With my help you can get the best possible experience and save $750,000. :)
Great advice.
BIG thank you Dell. i wonder how many lives you already save :) i was searching in youtube how to go in this sport SAFE. and your channel is the best of all paramotor chanels. YOU ARE THE BEST!!
Thanks man. I'm happy to help. Just let me know when you are ready to get started and we can reserve a spot for you at SUPER training to do it the right way. People come from all over the world. It's the most incredible trip you will ever take. Just call me at 800-707-2525 or email ppghero@gmail.com
Thank you for the information that no one ever talks about...
Honest question not trying to be critical or anything.
Have you flown a spider? I think you should take one to 4000 ft and show us the reality of what the dangers are that you’re saying. Put two Reserves on, just to be safe. What do you think?
Here's my problem with the Spider - It's unsafe. I've watched them collapse and they SUCK! Which means when you do take a collapse it could be very dangerous and you could get seriously hurt.
There is no reason to take that risk.
It's not faster. It doesn't perform better. It's not easier to launch. And it surly is no where near as safe.
So why fly it?
The Dominator can do everything it can do only the Dominator is WAY SAFER.
@@DellSchanze so is that a no, or?
You are a great advocate for this sport, your delivery is perfect and logical, you use hard facts and blunt points to prove logic. Excelent work man, keeps everyone talking and will save the safety of the sport... Its about fun and freedom not the dollar signs that the FAA and ICAO want the aviation industry to be.
Thanks for the comment man. I appreciate that. Seems people with logic are getting more rare so it's nice to hear from those who get it.
@@DellSchanze I fully agree
Great video Dell. I’ll be mountain flying in Canadian Rockies on an a class 29m and 220cc machine. Hashed out the requirements with my instructor in Canada, I always value your videos on your channel. Even a seat airbag would seem to be a wise addition
how did that go for you?
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!! I’ve been hunting for paramotors on fb marketplace here in South Africa. Yet….. I approached the situation like MacGyver would solve a problem. So on hearing your words of caution. I’ll hunt for proper instruction and gear.
Well the only place you are going to get proper instruction is from SUPER training. It simply doesn't exist outside of SUPER training. Proper gear is the Flat Top & Dominator specifically so that makes it really simple. Just call 800-707-2525 and order the gear. I wish there were other schools around the world I could recommend for training but they simply don't exist. Almost no instructors out there can even do what brand new SUPER students can do so there is no way to learn true and real skills from those who don't have them and don't teach them. Maybe this video can help you compare skills for skills: ua-cam.com/video/RXC5Jx_URoQ/v-deo.html
If you do not heed his warning , watch this over and over until you do. Then watch it again! He knows this sport and equipment. It's not just a sales pitch, it's to keep you out of harm's way. STOP CRASHING!
Looks like this sport needs some sort of regulations, certifications for instructors, pre-requites for students, and to fly. Listening to many folks on You Tube slagging off each other, slagging off their styles of instruction, slagging off their equipment is so confusing for anyone not just newbies, just maybe you should all get together and sort this shit out so the sport is safe for everyone
If it's confusing to you then perhaps aviation isn't for you. It really should not be difficult to LOOK at who is actually training students to have true and real skills vs those who are full of crap. It's not "slagging off" to warn people about factual and legitimate issues their lives directly depend on. If you don't have a talent for research and logical reasoning this sport really isn't for everyone. Have you ever seen anyone in the history of the sport that can do what I do? ua-cam.com/video/7FmqswjGw-Q/v-deo.html either you can post a video of someone else doing what I do or you can't. It's really not rocket science to determine who truly is the best pilot in the world vs who is full of crap. Same way you determine who truly is the best instructor in the world. You simply LOOK at the actual skills of their new students. Do you see anyone else's students knocking out 530 flights in 10 days and progressing from an XL clear down to an XXXXS? ua-cam.com/video/WxPBXBb_Zoo/v-deo.html NO regulation absolutely is NOT the answer. They created a license in Canada and now you have to get the worthless "license" from the incompetent people that the license was supposed to protect people from. So no regulation is NOT the answer. The answer is freedom and sharing information about who's who and what's what and people having the wisdom to do their own research to see who is the best and who is lying. Suggesting "everyone should come together..." again seriously dude that like suggesting democrats would stand up for freedom and righteousness if you just explained the truth to them. No evil people won't just stop being evil because you show them the facts. It simply doesn't work that way. There will always be people so incredibly foolish and crooked that they would even vote for people like Hillary and no you can't just fix that level of insanity by saying people should come together. Yes there are seriously evil people in the sport and it's a moral obligation of those who truly do know what they are talking about to warn others about these facts their lives depend on. So trying to pass everything off as slagging is a failure to research who is actually telling the truth and has the skills and videos to back up what they say. The truth is really quite simple and logical. Do you think everyone on earth would join the one and only true church on the earth today if the truth was just explained to them? How many do you think seek out the one true church that God himself confirms as true? So no people don't just "come together" as the vast vast majority really don't care one bit what the truth is. Do you think Ford would ever ever ever admit Toyota is better? Would ANY car company on earth admit that Toyota really is the best to buy? NO. So it's pretty simple logic that all but one dealer is dishonest. So you must have the wisdom to see through the bs and look for the skill and ability and follow the skills. If you follow the very best you can learn to become like them. It's really quite simple reasoning.
Im going to train with you period
If you dont mind me asking how did you loose your finger ,or just tell me to keep my nose out
motorcycle. I have way way over 11,000 flights on a Flat Top paramotors without injury. As long as you get this gear specifically it's incredibly safe. Kinda of ridiculously so. Just call us at 800-707-2525
You can hate, or appreciate....
The fact is we all watch in amazement of how Extreme his flying is. Video after video of a man in perfect control of his aircraft.
Have you not tried to kite with no hands, reverse, in 10+ after watching yet? 😆
Its super fun when you have the A-ha moment from fear of dragging...to I Got this.
Although I'm still a newbie, these videos have given me extra confidence at the park kiting, on launch, and in the air.
Thanks Dell!
As far is i can determine, the para-glider crashes are as a result of lack pilot training. SIV training should be taken straight after para-glider/paramotor training and not years later.
A lack of training is part of it but the problem is the death trap gliders are so unstable and so unsafe not even a skilled pilot would fly them. The pilot literally has no control of the pitch so they have no ability to prevent a collapse with a hoaxflex death trap so it's really not about skill as skill wouldn't help you prevent those collapses with that crap. Because unloading the back half of the wing the brakes don't work any more they have to use secondary toggles to pull wing tips for steering. So the pilot has no way to control pitch or prevent collapses. Now in this particular video again the gear is a major issue on top of horrible "training". A certified glider like the Dominator with certified height hook in points is designed to be incredibly stall and spin resistant. It's been well known for over 40 years that newer pilots will often pull too much brake in pressure situations no matter how well they are trained which is part of the whole point of the certifications in the first place. So to put newbies on totally uncertified class death traps that don't have ANY of the safety advances from the last 40 years is so insane it's like trying to reason with a democrat. As the best instructor in the world running the best paramotor school in the world we go to incredible lengths to make sure students absolutely master glider control BEFORE they fly. They get about 25-60 HOURS of glider control and can literally kite the glider forwards and reverse with their eyes closed and control altitude give or take one inch before they ever take their first flights. They stall gliders and collapse gliders on the ground thousands and thousands of times learning not to bury the brakes and exactly where that stall point is before flying but despite the absolute best training in the world there is always that one guy who still takes off and buries his brakes as far as he can pull them. With a Flat Top & Dominator they totally get away with it though and the glider just keeps on flying. It's the whole point of flying the safest gear. It's pretty rare for the best trained students in the world to do such things, maybe 1 in 80 students do something that ridiculous but not a single injury resulted as the gear is designed to be able to take that without an issue. Again these psychos pretending to be instructors are chucking people in the air without the slightest bit of actual training at all and doing it on totally uncertified class death trap gliders with horrible paramotor designs that haven't had a single safety update for over 40 years. Those like Aviator PPG, Kurt Fister, Blackhawk and so many others are so horrible it's truly hard for people to even really comprehend it's possible for people like that but that is the vast vast majority out there. SUPER training is literally the ONLY school in the world that is actually training people. To have only one single school in the entire world actually training people properly is also hard for people to comprehend or believe so you really have to LOOK at the videos of the skill levels of students from different 'training" schools. Where is ANY video of these other schools SHOWING their students demonstrating actual control of the glider? It simply doesn't exist. Aviator PPG just had 2 more students die and BOTH were on totally uncertified class gliders and horrible paramotors like they scam people into. Tucker Gott is also out there pushing the absolute worst and most deadly gear and scamming people into thinking that is how to get started in the sport. He is the replacement scout pitchman as the previous one already died on the very same gear Tucker now dishonestly pushes. People really just need to LOOK at the skill level of whom they talk to in this sport and LOOK at the skill level of students coming out of any "training" school.
Dell I've been watching you for many years. I know you are good at what you do. You information is solid too. However, when you call out other good people by name it has the opposite effect that I believe you are trying to achieve. You want to be seen as an expert, but calling out other people by name takes away from your message. You would sound much more credible if you named types of equipment and your experience and left other people's name out of your message.
It's a commandment from God to warn thy neighbor of pitfalls that lay before them. I don't name people to insult that person I name people to warn others of very serious safety issues that will befall them if they are not aware of these facts that I share. People's lives depend on the very specific information I share and it would be very dishonorable for me to withhold information that can save people's lives. It also makes little sense for one who really doesn't understand the sport and doesn't understand just how serious the information I share is that would scold the one who is honorable enough to actually share the full truth. So here you insult me publicly for telling the truth all while suggesting I'm bad for publicly telling the truth? That is completely illogical.
@@DellSchanze Dell, I wasn't insulting you. Merely pointing out the way your warnings sound to others when you name names. Much continued success.
that why there the saying, "the truth hurts" he quit busting their ball's if they didn't sell crap, plain and simple??
Don't take from religion to explain your "truths", It's still shaming to point out another youtubers "faults." Once being a man of god and being an instructor for the sport of paragliding, Don't call out others. Tucker is a great pilot and he actually went through the process of teaching (at full length) his girlfriend. If he recorded the ENTIRE teaching it would be a week long video and most viewers don't want to sit through boring stuff according to studies. I NEVER used the words of god to defend my life because my actions portray the man I am. Don't spray venom about someone to the public and talk to that person instead privately or leave the discussion to the public more BROAD and what to look out for. Everything about this video describes the man you are stroking your own ego, trash talking others, and masking it as "helping" viewers. I pray god helps you see your own faults.
@@xLopez210x SHOW me even one single video of Tucker Gott doing what brand new SUPER students can do: ua-cam.com/video/geha95mEtoY/v-deo.html so since Tucker Gott doesn't have even the most basic skills himself as he has never had a day of actual training in his life how do you suppose he would teach anyone anything other than the total incompetence that he is going to die from?? It's a commandment from God to warn thy neighbor of pitfalls that lay before them and you don't know jack squat about this sport and just bashed, trashed and lied about the one honest and competent pilot while literally promoting the guy who just got 6 more DEAD in the last weeks. So do you like promoting murder? Let's see even one single video of Tucker's "girl friend" SHOWING any actual skill that would come from real actual training: ua-cam.com/video/eDy3_Em37L4/v-deo.html so you literally just bashed the expert while promoting the murderer and that is the exact opposite of following God. 6 more DEAD in the last weeks because of those just like Tucker and you suggest the solution is to bash the expert and promote the lying murderers?? Do you even know that Tucker is the REPLACEMENT scout marketing guy because they already killed the last one???!!! Jeff died EXACTLY how I warned him he would and exactly how I warned the total liars as scout one of them would die if they kept flying the absolute worst and most deadly gear on the market and trying to defraud people into that crap. Jeff died only about a month after I warned him straight up he would die. Tucker WILL die as he has a 100% chance to do exactly the same thing that killed Jeff as he is flying exactly the same horrible gear but unlike Jeff who had some decent skills because he had some SUPER training Tucker doesn't have even the most basic skills. You know absolutely zero about the sport and very little about God or you would know you are talking to the expert on both subjects fine sir. On BOTH of these subjects your listening and following is life & death critical and eternally critical. Jesus Christ said very clearly that without baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost one CANNOT enter the kingdom of heaven. You have neither. How do I KNOW that? If you had the gift of the Holy Ghost you would know exactly who I am and would be standing up for the life & death critical truth I share instead of talking against telling the straight-up truth.
Watch the video frame-by-frame between 1:16 & 1:20. He's completely stalling the right side of the wing. Then when he impacts at 1:18, tell me again why crumple zone is BS? Dell haters laugh and say the gear doesn't make a difference, I bet this guy would have loved to have 18" under his ass at that moment.
Yes you nailed it exactly. This video like hundreds of others show clear as can be why crumple zone can be so life & death critical as are the hundreds of other safety features only the Flat Top has.
That guy will now be okay with just 15" of crumple zone. I'm pretty sure he's got 3" of spinal compression thanks to that crash landing.
@@JV-tk3nn The facts are on video: ua-cam.com/video/060yaNiN1oU/v-deo.html yes Flat Top crumple zone works incredibly well. It has saved many many lives while busloads of others have been seriously injured & killed without it. That's why all competent pilots fly Flat Tops exclusively and one who doesn't fly a Flat Top paramotor specifically just flat out isn't competent.
@@Doubleolseven Air bags are really not very effective from what I've seen. They would be better than nothing but I know a guy who broke his back despite his airbag.
At the time of this post, this video has 546 likes and 468 dislikes. I don’t get it.
There is life-saving information in this video.
The very evil people pushing the death trap gear like that get very upset when the truth is shown so clearly. These are very sick people. Death after death and they just keep telling every lie they can make up to push this gear.
Who certifies hang points and how can I see what it is? Just curious to see what my wing is certified for. I’ve flown from what I consider a high hang point harness, not over my shoulders but higher than most other rigs. Landing I’ve always went full brake. I’m just wondering if I flew a low hang point or “certified” hang point if I’d get the same authority. What you are saying makes sense but where is the info coming from that you are putting out there?
The height of the hook in point the glider is certified with is listed in the certification information. What glider do you have? There is no such thing as "low" or "high" hook in points. It's certified or uncertified. Many have died because of this. In paragliding all the harnesses have the same certified height hook in points so you can use them with any certified glider. Sadly there are those making paramotors that don't know jack squat about the sport so they don't have a clue how to design them properly. This is one of the hundreds of reasons the only paramotor to fly is the Flat Top right now. Don't even consider flying anything other than a Flat Top as there are hundreds more issues than just that one. Call 800-707-2525 and talk to one that has the experience and skills to explain the details.
Thanks for providing some clarity on this intriguing sport
Wow! Thank you for sharing your in depth instruction videos. I'm a self teaching kinda guy with great reflex learning ability quick learner of everything. I have been very interested in getting into the sport however because of available budget thought I can buy used or low cost equipment then teach myself like I always do. I've watched many videos that don't give out the info you do they make it seem super easy as if I can teach my myself like usual. I started to watch your videos then thought to myself wow this guy gives away all the secret learning tips and would be a great source to teach myself saving me thousands in training. My interests was also lured into another brand because of free training after doing comparative research of different brands of equipment, instructors, plus watching your crash videos my false sense of self confidence plumited fast. Your videos have the exact opposite effect now I most definitely do not want to teach my self, woah still cringing over this video. All your advice and tips showed me there is too much to learn before I even get into the air. Im now excited and very anxious to meet you. I'm not ready to buy the equipment yet but going to happily pay thousands for your training course before I even do just to get a feel for the sport and to satisfy my urges to get started.
Not sure why all the dislikes? Your advice is spot on.
I remember that video when Tucker was teaching his girlfriend to fly! Very scary !
Yes and even worse than people realize because of the absolutely horrible and unsafe paramotor he had her trying to fly. She could have very easily chopped herself up in the prop with that unit like has happened way way over 100 times to other people on that gear. Part of training is making sure the student is prepared with the right gear to help keep them as safe as possible. Sadly newbies just don't know or understand this and so by trying to "train" people they can really get people killed very easily.
Dell, since you fly all the time - are there any updates that you'd like see happen to the FlatTop as it stands now?
The Flat Top is the most perfect paramotor on the market by a huge gigantic margin. There really isn't anything to be improved as we constantly continue to make enhancements any time we can think of anything. There is so much experience that has gone into the Flat Top it's truly the most perfect paramotor every made. You won't even fully appreciate how truly incredible it is until it saves your butt a few times. There are just so many things that can happen in the sport and the Flat Top is the only unit on the market designed to address every single known issue in the sport. Nobody on earth can do what we do on Flat Tops and much in part because the Flat Top is so safe while other units are so horrifically unsafe that flying anything other than a Flat Top people simply don't live long enough to reach our skill and ability level. It takes massive practice to be the best in the world but you don't get massive amounts of practice if you are dead. If I flew ANY other paramotor I would be dead right now at least a dozen times over.
This is why I’m coming to you to learn!! I wanna learn from the best🤙🏼
Good plan. It's a deadly mistake soooo many make by not LOOKING at the skill level of whom they listen to. Call 800-707-2525. It really shouldn't be rocket science to compare skill levels and the skill levels of people's students.
Nice video. What you say makes a lot of sense cos hooking points look like they have comething to do with Cg . You will do better without the boasting and the name calling.
Great video
When and where are the WPPGA World Championships held? Is this an annual event? Info on participating? Thank you in advance for your reply.
The WPPGA Paramotor World Championships is a youtube competition so absolutely anyone from anywhere can compete at anytime. You just do the task on video as many times as you like and submit your very best score. The best pilot always wins as there is no luck or chance to it. Anyone from anywhere that has the skills will win. It's really that simple. No bs trying to fly around the world or pay fees or have a dishonest person with their finger on the stop watch cheating up and down and no being encouraged to do idiotic things like flying around pylons full speedbar that no competent pilot would ever do. The WPPGA Paramotor World Championships is something every pilot out there should be practicing for and competing at as it's a critical skill that makes every pilot a much much safer pilot. The better you can do in the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships the more skills and the safer you become. It's really the only no bs competition out there.

Dell, Thank God 🙏🙏🙏I found this video I was gonna go to that place in Florida for training 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻thanks for the truthful video what is your minimum age ??
I will be signing up for your school and gear as soon as I can afford it
I am so gonna take your training I’ve seen your videos and I know you can fly
Dell actually makes some sense here. Huh
The wing was actually a MacPara Paradox which is an advance glider. The charger is a very nice beginner safe glider.
The Charger IS a totally uncertified death trap. ZERO hoaxflex gliders can pass ANY level of certifications on hoaxflex death trap mode. The scam of claiming they are certified and then claiming they are "reflex" murders many people who ignorantly make this mistake. There is no such thing as an actually certified hoaxflex death trap they call "reflex". Also which hoaxflex death trap wing doesn't matter as a hoaxflex wing is a hoaxflex wing. They all use the same horribly deadly design so trying to pretend some are safe shows how people fall for such horrible deception. So No the Charger absolutely is NOT a "nice beginner safe glider"!! Seriously dude people are dying and you come on here to argue with experts and post the very ignorance that is getting sooooooo many seriously injured & killed??? This is the whole point. Liars pushing death traps like the Charger use every lie they can make up to deceive gullible newbies that don't have a clue what the difference is. Don't fall for it let along then go around arguing with experts as though you know more than they do. Anyone flying a hoaxflex death trap anything at all let alone the Charger or any other hoaxflex wing should immediately stop flying it and call me at 800-707-2525. Just one single collapse could be the last thing you remember in life. Why?? Why fly a total death trap when their performance also sucks??? There is zero reason to fly a pile of crap that will kill you when quality gliders are better in every single way. It just doesn't make any sense.
@@DellSchanze I would love to fly the dominator but I cant afford a new wing. Would you like to donate one to me so I dont die and can promote it to my local paramotor community and tell everyone that Dell Schanze is actually a really great guy who just wants to see everyone as safe as possible. I'd even send you my charger to burn it or whatever.
@@DellSchanze you're BS dell. Super shit. Macpara makes some great paraglider and they are certified by the standard of the entire paragliding community, DGAC.
@@DennisGlowacki Yes we actually do take trade ins. No we don't just give gliders away for free sorry. I have many hoaxflex death trap wings right now that people have traded in that I use to SHOW people the exact and real differences. Like in the video where the 16sm Dominator shows it has a better glide ratio and LOWER sink rate than the 29sm total death trap Dudek Nucleon. So yes you can make a difference in saving people's lives by trading in a death trap Charger towards a quality wing. It's seriously sick and evil that they promote death traps like the MacPara Charger as "certified" when they know darn well ZERO hoaxflex death traps can pass ANY level of safety certifications in death trap mode. To push such death traps onto complete newbies that simply don't know any better is freaking evil.
@@KeegenMould Really??? Then how about SHOW me the video of the DGAC running the Charger though collapse testing??? Where is it??? Your lies don't work on competent people sorry. Seriously how do you think you can make up such absurdity as though one of the most experience pilots in history is going to be fooled by it?? It's total liars just like these scammers that get so many seriously injured & killed. Totally fake certifications like DGAC mean absolutely ZERO. DGAC does NOT mean a glider is safe. Not even remotely. Those pushing crap like the Charger should be forced to go SHOW on video the collapse testing with the trims UP and down. Let's see it??? Where is any of the liars that push that crap who will go out and SHOW how it responds to collapses with the trims up????? I show it all over youtube with the Dominator but where is even 1 single video anywhere of the Charger being collapse tested trims up????? These liars don't care one bit how many they get killed with their lies. In this sport people need to be a little bit sharper than a tire and LOOK at the facts and LOOK at the skill level of those trying to share information. Take a good look at the actual skill level of this liar. Why can't he even do what brand new SUPER students can do??? Then he comes here to argue with one who nobody can honestly compete with???!!! All to deceive people about what gear is safe and what isn't. Stop trying to murder people with your fraud!!
Thank you for making this clear to people who are interested great advice
Why are these company's your calling out hooking the risers higher than what is recommended? If I had to guess, it would be for some sore of performance gain so it would make Acrobatics easier? I'm thinking of getting into the sport and I am very curious to understand the motivation behind this kind of decision. I am a former skydiver" no jumps in 22 years" and the trend in the sport before I stopped was increased wing loading "smaller canopies" so you could turn faster and swoop for longer on landings. This of course lead to increased death while under functional wings. Is that what's going on in the paramotor industry...the need for increased performance leading to more deaths? Thanks for posting this video.
Paragliding came from skydiving. As you know in skydiving you parachute hooks to your shoulders because you hang from that point. Well these paramotors with hook in points above the shoulders and head are so insanely old they came from clear back at the very beginning of the sport and then ignorant people just keep pushing the same gear year after year without a single update and now well over 40 years later they are pushing the same horrifically outdated units that cause the same injuries & deaths which was why the problem was fixed over 40 years ago. Over 40 years ago it was well known that new pilots would tend to pull too much brakes and it was found that because paragliders are much more comfortable and with better control in a reclined seated position the hook in points were standardized to certified height hook in points where are just above the waist. So every certified paragliding harness and up to date paramotor they have been using the certified height hook in points for over 40 years while the totally ignorant incompetent dishonest idiots ignore these facts and just keep lying to people and pushing gear that is so old it's seriously insane anyone would even consider buying it. No there is no benefit and no performance benefit. 99% of the carnage & death in the industry is because of blatantly incompetence, ignorance and dishonesty and doesn't have anything at all to do with the actual sport. I set the paramotor speed record at 51 mph on the super duper safe XXS Dominator so no the faster gliders are not less safe they are actually MORE safe. Instead of selling the hundreds of different certified gliders though you again have these total freaking morons pushing totally uncertified death trap gliders to newbies that didn't do their research. It's really hard to comprehend how this blatant incompetence can continue to cause so many deaths in exactly the same way as the problem is obvious and blatant. Another guy just died only a week or so ago on these same total death trap gliders but seriously evil and dishonest people just ignore the deaths and keep pushing the total crap death traps onto newbies that don't know any better. They even hold fake "races" to blatantly deceive people into thinking these total crap gliders are "race gliders" when in fact I set the world speed record on the super duper safe Dominator. The hoaxflex death trap wings are actually quite slow because they are horribly inefficient so you just run out of power long before you actually attain any notable top speed. So they don't do anything well AND are thousands of times more likely to collapse AND when you take a collapse you do a back flip 180 and lock into a spiral face first into the ground most often. It's a horrifying nightmare that is more about a religious conversation about good vs evil then it has anything at all to do with the real actual sport. Call me if you have any further questions. It's an incredible sport and remarkably safe IF you get proper gear and training from an actual expert. 800-707-2525
Hi, thanks for videos. Can you name 4-5 safe wings from distinct companies for a paramotors beginner?
There are lots of pretty safe gliders from many of the main companies in the EN-A class. The problem is they suck so badly for performance people get bored with them very quickly and start flying unsafe gliders thinking that is the only way to have real fun. So really the only glider to get is the Dominator paraglider as you get both the highest level of safety AND the highest level of performance. So not only is it perfect for my kids taking their first flight but it's the same wing the best pilots in the world are setting countless world records on and doing things nobody else on earth can do. So getting a safe glider isn't enough because people just get bored with most of the safe gliders and glider with more performance are nowhere near the safety of the Dominator. So it's not as easy as just listing 4-5 safer gliders. Plus the Flat Top paramotor is another life & death critical part of that. Kinda silly to worry about safety if you fly ANY paramotor other than a Flat Top paramotor specifically. Safety takes BOTH the Flat Top paramotor AND the Dominator paraglider together. A Dominator can control your descent rate in extreme situations but if you don't have the crumple zone to absorb that descent rate you are still not really protected and a Flat Top paramotor's crumple zone is not going to save you from a deadly wing like those they call "reflex" as you will hit face first at 80-105 mph. So if you want the best safety, performance, fun and ease of use you get both a Flat Top paramotor specifically along with a Dominator paraglider specifically. That along with SUPER training will change the whole sport for you making it incredibly fun & easy as well as ridiculously safe.
I’m so interested in becoming a paraglider pilot. Watching videos and following some pilots for a few weeks now. The danger of a serious crash terrifies me. I’m on Flatop’s website, and I’ve been following/watching your videos. I know there is always a risk, but by utilizing the Super Student training and flight package clearly mitigates this risk. Seeing crashes and deaths has started to scare me towards not doing this. Thoughts?
Total carnage like in this video have absolutely nothing to do with real actual SUPER training and proper gear. The guy had ZERO actual training, totally uncertified glider, totally uncertified height hook in points allowing him to easily stall the glider, no crumple zone, no face plant protection, no Flat Top paramotor... it's like watching motorcycle wrecks and then thinking you don't want to buy a Mercedes. Not even comparable. Yes you can die doing anything but in the entire history of the sport only one single person has ever died on proper gear and that was from doing seriously ridiculous. I broke nearly ever bone in my body on motorcycles. 11 vertabre fused together, hip bolted on, hand bolted together, missing a finger... not one single injury in 20+ years of pushing all the limits on Flat Top paramotors. You see me out there doing what no others on earth can do and not a single injury. This is pretty much the safest action sport you are going to find and for sure the coolest. So don't let total incompetence and frauds scare you away from doing it right. Just call me at 800-707-2525.
Why haven’t stated begun to regulate this and require the safety features?
Very humble, I like that.
So you listen to all the specific details on safety and all you mention is a crack about humility? Perhaps aviation isn't for you?
@@youtub13 That total ignorance doesn't make the slightest sense to rational people either. Where is ANY video of Tucker SHOWING he can do what brand new SUPER students can do?? ua-cam.com/video/RXC5Jx_URoQ/v-deo.html where is even 1 single video showing the complete and total scammers Tucker promotes SHOWING their students or instructors demonstrating these real actual skills? Oh there are none? So how does he promote "good training" by promoting those who are so totally incompetent they literally can't even do what brand new SUPER students can do??? How is that "good training" to promote total fraud and murder??? How is being a murderer "good training"???? SHOWN me a video of this supposed "good training". Let's see it? Why can't you SHOW even one single video? It's because you are just a fake account nobody which is why you have no real content on your channel. Just another fake trying to bash the truth so Tucker can murder more people with total fraud. Prove me wrong!!!
Had to be said. Well done mate. Great video.
Hey Dell, what safety improvements are possible in your motors v other motors? I understand the hook-in point issue, but struggling to see where the improvements in motor design are...(apart from the crumple zone) thanks for any pointers!
Look up the whole video series of the "304 reasons competent pilots ONLY fly Flat Tops". It makes it really obvious why anyone not flying a Flat Top paramotor specifically is either totally incompetent or just straight up completely ignorant of the basics of the sport.
@@DellSchanze Thanks, will check it out
great video. Thank you. I have tried calling, but must be time difference or something. I have very specific questions regarding where I live and also wondering if you sell used equipment. I am trying to find out if this passion of flying is realistic with my location and finances. I have recently insulted you and did not mean any disrespect and humbly apologize. Your training is the only way I would get into the sport.

Hey SD.. I want to get a flattop but only downside is I'm only 165 and 5 ,9. I'm worried about all the torque. Is there any good flattop that has torque control so to speak?
What torque? Even little children fly the super powerful Flat Top Ninja with ZERO torque issues: ua-cam.com/video/tqKReF2-7CQ/v-deo.html the liars spread all kinds of absurd lies but they are just lies. If you want to see torque issues look at a unit like the scout which is horrible. Instead of listening to bs people say just LOOK at the unit during launch. If it's torqued completely off to the side then you know it has torque issues. If it's perfectly level like little kids on the Flat Top then you know it's not an issue. Because the Flat Top has the best weight shift on the market you simply eliminate torque completely by weight shifting. Do you think I would put my children on a unit that had torque issues?
I find myself nodding in agreement with what you say, especially about the wing control stuff, stall control etc -and -as my life is potentially at stake -could you please do an appraisal of Parajet and Ozone. I would be interested in your opinion. Thanks..
Watch the video series of the 304 reasons the Flat Top is the only paramotor competent pilots fly or recommend as it goes through hundreds of details why no competent pilot would ever fly or recommend parajet. No crumple zone, no protection from the prop, no face plant protection, no quick release harness... there are hundreds of reasons units like the parajet have been causing serious injuries & deaths for over 40 years without the slightest update to address ANY of the issues. Here is a video where I did a side by side comparison of the Dominator vs an Ozone wing: ua-cam.com/video/uQrsx14trx0/v-deo.html Not even Ozone's totally uncertified class death trap wings can compete with the performance of the Dominator and neither can their "safest" wings compete with the safety of the Dominator either. If one is going to spend money on a wing it only makes sense to get the very best wing for that money and Ozone is far from the best. Ignore any opinion and just look at each characteristic as glider characteristics are easily measurable so there doesn't have to be any opinion of which glider is best as it's really easy to assess the facts without opinions. I've warned people for years not to fly parjet and totally uncertified class wings. Just listen to the screams of the woman shredded in the prop in this video and you can see why only a total sicko would ever recommend a unit like a parajet: ua-cam.com/video/uzvmMJVypzk/v-deo.html Here you can watch back to back crashes where the Flat Top crumple zone totally saves people's butts and then watch people who don't hit nearly as hard on parajets who break their back or worse: ua-cam.com/video/060yaNiN1oU/v-deo.html so again anyone pushing horrifically unsafe and outdated gear like parajet just doesn't give one single crap about your life or basic honesty or facts. I even warned Glen Tupper of exactly what would happen if he flew that parajet and totally uncertified glider and explained to him very clearly how he would break his back or die and yes that's him screaming when he broke his back EXACTLY how I warned him he would over and over. It happens over and over and over in the exact same ways over and over on the very same horrible gear with the very same horrible issues. It's just sickening how dishonest people just don't care one bit about people's lives and push crap like parajet and totally uncertified ozone wings even after watching soooooooo many get seriously injured & killed. Eric Farewell of Aviator PPG broke his back in exactly the same way and now pushes this exact same gear like he already broke his back with onto people that just don't seem to do any research at all into whom they trust their life to. Farewell trained at blackhawk. He litereally can't even do what my brand new students can do but is out there pretending to be an expert and chucking people in the air without the slightest ability to really control the glider and on the most horrifically unsafe gear. 2 more just died on that very same type of crap but they just keep pushing the same crap without the slightest safety update. It's truly hard to comprehend how people can be like that. Here is a video that really hammers the truth home of just how huge the difference is as this is one of my brand new students who has to land to try to help the blackhawk "instructor" just try to get off the ground.... ua-cam.com/video/vWSiVWdeLIA/v-deo.html people simply can't teach what they themselves don't know. So for people to buy parajet and try to train with those like Farewell.... seriously how do people do such a thing without even the slightest bit of research into the skill level of whom they talk to? In this sport you seriously need to LOOK at the skill level of whom you take information from. One doesn't get to be the best without massive experience and one doesn't get massive experience if they are dead. So it would make sense that the best pilot in the world also knows a thing or two about how to stay safe in the sport. One of the many reasons nobody on earth can do on other gear what I do on a Flat Top is become they simply don't live long enough on the horrible gear to make it to my skill level. I hope this helps. Call me at 800-707-2525 if you have any other questions or would like to get started in the sport the right way and the best and truly the only legitimate way.
ahh i see now why people are downvoting this guys videos a lot, because he called out Tucker Gott one time for a potentially unsafe practice.
There is actually a ton more to it than that. It's those pushing the totally unsafe gear and those out there pretending to be instructors who literally can't even do what my brand new students can do. Since they can't compete with me honestly they talk piles of crap and spread around every lie they can make up. Much of the hate and lies have little to do with the sport. They come from those who promote homosexuality such as those like Rob at blackhawk who cheated on his wife with a man and Jeff Goin who setup the total scam called the usppa that sells fake ratings to such types. They simply hate Christians that disagree with immorality. I actually won a 1.2 million dollar judgement against Rob Whitaker of blackhawk for all the bs he was doing. It's far worse than people realize so it is interesting to get more of the history of just how many people the dishonest in the industry have gotten seriously injured & killed in all the same ways over and over. They also use a ton of fake accounts to thumbs down all my videos. So many just absolutely hate the truth these days. It's pretty messed up. Skill is skill though you either have skills or you don't. The dishonest people obviously can't compete with me honestly so instead they spread every lie around that they can. It's pretty crazy how sick these people are.
How can you possible think it is a good idea to go in the air, when you don't even know how to operate the wing....? I mean wtf?..
relating it more too me... That is like taking a person who has never flown a helicopter before, getting them into a hover, and then letting go of the flight controls all at once while telling them "Don't worry! you got it!"... instant disaster.
I once saw a dude in a field trying to operate one of these with a Ozone Subzero snowkite.... he did not make it in the air thankfully.
Living legend awesome video n knowledge well appreciate n glad u helping us all gud job.
How’d you lose your finger?
Took a steal reflector post right up the handle bars on a motorcycle. I've broken nearly every bone in my body on motorcycles but I've never once been injured on a Flat Top paramotor. Flying Flat Top paramotors is kind of ridiculously safe. For one like me with soooo much experience pushing all the limits and setting countless records to have never been injured it's really a testament to just how incredible the Flat Top paramotor specifically truly is. If I flew ANY other brand of paramotor I would be dead right now at least a dozen times over.
Thank you so much for sharing
the video Dell, I would like some day Get a super training from you !!!
Instead of spending hours in the comments section bashing your competitors you should do a online sales course and hopefully you figure out that talking down about your opposition if the most effective way to lose business and lose trust in potential customers.
You obviously failed to realize I'm not trying to sell anything. Just sharing the truth that people's lives depend on.
@@DellSchanze so you don't receive financial reward from the Flat top product at all? You don't want to sell your product? It's only because you are such a nice guy and has nothing to do with you wanting to sell more flattops?
@@Johnny-gb7eh Again your focus is all about money and trying to twist up any possible negative while ignoring the facts all while my focus is just about telling the truth and trying to help people save their own lives by being more aware of the actual facts. Did you even for a second consider the simple logic in what I shared or look at my experience level or double check the facts on what I'm saying? Instead you try to twist it all up into some negative based on money without the slightest attempt to even try to consider that people's lives matter more than money. Yes I can make money selling gear but I can and do also do it while being honest and truly trying to help people.
Notice how these fake account nobodies who are obviously competitors that have no honor will do everything they can to try to twist up falsehood against the blatantly obvious facts. If what I am saying in this video wasn't true it would be very simple to refute it with logic, facts, reason and evidence and without any trash talking like this. Instead the fake account liars try to twist up lies in hopes their negative deception can trick people away from the obvious truth. Where is even 1 single person in the industry trying to refute what I'm SHOWING here with any facts or logic or evidence of their own? the sheer lack of anyone even trying to refute what I'm saying but many trying to talk trash and thumbs down the truth really shows just how sick so many truly are as they seriously hate the truth and don't care how many die as long as they get their money first. For those that are just like them by all means go deal with those most like yourself. For those that actually care more about truth and people's lives and doing what's right come see me as we will get along great.
If we put one of your certified anti-stall gliders on a regular paramotor that's not a flat top is it still going to stall or is it only made for flat top?
If you raise the hook in points much much higher than the certified height hook in location then yes absolutely any glider no matter it's safety rating can be whip stalled out of the sky. To get the proper safety designed into any certified wing you need the certified height hook in points like the Flat Top has.
Didn’t Jeff Toll die because he hit power lines? How would a crumple zone have helped?
Jeff Toll didn't fly into power lines in his own flying site. He took a simple collapse on a hoaxflex death trap wing they call "reflex" after I warned him over and over and over that he would die if he continued flying and pushing that crap trying to scam people into the most deadly gear in history. He chose not to be honest and to ignore the truth and continue pushing crap like scout and totally uncertified class gliders and then took a collapse exactly as I warned him he would and did the hoaxflex backflip 180 and locked into a face down spiral right into the ground barely glancing off a power line on the way down that would only have slowed him down a bit. Naturally the liars pushing the death trap gear don't want you to know the real truth though that he died from a simple collapse on a hoaxflex death trap glider exactly like I warned him he would over and over and over. In fact I warned him so many times not to fly that crap he literally blocked me from facebook about a month before he then died EXACTLY how I warned him he would. Of course then you add foolishness in asking how would crumple zone help if you flew into power lines.... Seriously?? If you actually did fly into power lines like the 70 year old guy did in St. George where it took out his glider and he fell straight down into a pile of rocks in a dry river bed.... and then completely walked away without a scratch because the crumple zone took the whole impact allowing him to walk away without injury. So yes crumple zone is life & death critical as is using some wisdom to cut through the total lies made up by the scammers pushing total death trap gear that just killed 7 more people recently on the very same type of gear Jeff died on and all pretty much exactly in the same way he died. One collapse on a hoaxflex death trap and you do a backflip 180 face first towards the ground. Add to that zero crumple zone to absorb the impact and it doesn't take much of a hit to your spine to break your back or die. Wake up to reality fine sir.
Are there any trainers who get along on youtube 🤷🏼♂️. They all think the “other guy” is not a good trainer.
Just look at the facts not the bs. If you want to see the skill of an instructor then look at the real actual skill of their students. SUPER training is the only school in the world teaching true mastery level skills to students. It's really very easy to do some research and see that reality. I would love to see you be able to prove me wrong. If there were others producing skills in new students like you see at SUPER training I would love to promote them. One of the biggest jobs of an instructor is to make sure the student gets the best & safest gear. Watch the video serious of the 304 reasons competent pilots ONLY fly Flat Top paramotors. It's not rocket science. You don't even have to be a pilot to understand the facts shared. Once you start to understand the facts about gear you can take one look at any school and if they are not using Flat Top paramotors then you know straight away they are absolutely and totally incompetent. If I were wrong then a zillion people could come on here and explain in detail exactly why I'm wrong. Look at the date I wrote this... see anyone making a logical argument to refute this? Nope. The liars lie. They just can't refute the facts I share. If people really could refute the facts I share then they wouldn't need to bash, trash and lie. They could simply explain the facts like I do without any bs about it.
Hi Dell, interesting indeed. I have a question relating to IP. Do you own any patents and if so would you mind sharing what they are? My point is to find out why other manufacturers aren’t adding crumple zones etc in to their designs and all I can think of is that maybe you own patents on these ideas making it prohibitively expensive for other manufacturers to use? If my assumption is wrong then could you tell us why you think other manufacturers are not adding in crumple zones etc? Many thanks, Greg
You are trying to think rationally as to the mentality of completely irrational people fine sir. That's like thinking that if you just explain the real facts, logic and reason to a Hillary supporter that they would then immediately choose to vote for freedom instead of communism. This just isn't reality though. I've actually encouraged them to use some of my designs to at least update their paramotors or just sell Flat Top paramotors so they also can enjoy all the incredible benefits. Again it's like trying to explain freedom and logic to one that would support Bernie Sanders. Logic, reason and rational thought process and facts simply don't matter to these people. So no there is nothing at all preventing them from taking SUPER training and learning true and real skills the easy way and then selling the very best gear in the world other than their own bad choices.
Dell Schanze thanks for such a detailed response Dell I appreciate it. I would be interested to see crash tests performed on the top selling Paramotors to see how they stack up. Have you or would you be willing to have such tests performed on the Flat Top and side by side it with something like a Scout Carbon or Parajet Maverick? Maybe by an independent and completely non biased organization using g sensors ,super slow motion cameras etc? I’ve recently discovered your channel so I apologize if this is a conversation you have had before.
@@GregAnthonyHarris I'm pretty much the only non-biased person in the industry but trying to arrange such a test would be pretty much a waste of time as the parajet and scout are both fake copies of the old outdated skycruiser design and those pushing that crap would never ever even consider having them compared equally and fairly with a Flat Top. They have no crumple zone. ZERO. Any unit where the comfort bars flop up and down completely eliminate any crumple zone as the pilot can hit the ground without any resistance what so ever. Only with fixed solid hook in points where the comfort bars are stronger than the frame do you have actual crumple zone that will crush and absorb impact before it allows the pilot to impact the ground. So testing units without crumple zone vs the Flat Top would be great to show people that don't understand but why would anyone pushing the horrible gear even even consider agreeing to that when it would just make their incompetence blatantly obvious? Now if you wanted to secretly buy a scout and buy a parajet and guy a Flat Top and SHOW the difference it would be of great value but who is going to go through that expense when the outcome is so obvious? It's like comparing motor cycle safety vs a Mercedes. It's just kind of silly. You can watch the video where Tucker Gott just barely falls down the scout frame broke in half after smashing him face first into the ground. The fact are out there and blatantly obvious. The scout importer already died on a scout as well. Tucker is the replacement pitchman for the previous one that already died pushing such horrible gear. So while it might sound like a good idea to a logical and rational person you are just not dealing with rational people outside of the Flat Top. Yes it makes perfect sense to a rational person to ask why the heck would anyone buy a unit like the scout or parajet where a simple fall can result in chopping your hand up? Those that push the most horrible and unsafe gear just don't act rationally though so you can try to reason out why they do things as there is no reason or logic to it.
Thanks Dell lots to think on here. So hypothetically, if I were to raise the funding to purchase the top 5 selling Paramotors including the Flat Top to test under strict conditions with a certified flight safety board, you would be confident that the Flat Top would come out on top? If so then I’ll start developing a kickstarter.
@@GregAnthonyHarris The Flat Top doesn't even have competitors. Literally the only legit realistic competitors to the Flat Top are ignorance and sheer stupidity. So it wouldn't just win it would utterly destroy other units. As long as you understand what's important. So what the liars do is make up ridiuclous lies to try to deceive people away from facts and reality. Like Andy McAvin of MacPara who was claiming you didn't need kevlar netting saying it could cut your hand if you fell against it and how only idiots get shredded in their prop and that if you jus.... WHAP!! He got shredded in his prop... How do you compare a unit with crumple zone to those who have none? It's not really comparable. How do you compare a unit with face plant protection to a unit that has zero? How do you compare a unit that has a quick release harness that can float to a unit that sinks immediately and has so many buckles you can't get out to save your life which results in 5 deaths in a single year just from drowning alone on top of the countless other serious injuries & deaths? How can you compare a unit like a scout where the slightest bump or fall and the unit catastrophically self destructs as the cage easily flexes right back into the prop and the whole thing explodes? The logic to these things is so simple you don't really need the tests and doing the tests would be more just to completely mock those selling the total crap gear. I would be more than happy to support a comparison though as long as people know what actually happens in the sport and what safety features are actual important. The liars at scout even claim you don't need crumple zone as it's dangerous and then claim you would never land on it. Those very words came from Byron who you can watch on video pounding into rock hard ice with a Flat Top and having it completely save his life. He was so astounded at how well the crumple zone worked he did a commercial for the Flat Top right there on the ice. The not long later when he found he could make more money screwing people over pushing euro trash like the scout he now lies about what he said. These people are seriously sick. It's not about making honest comparisons. It's about crooked murderous scumbags that blatantly lie about the truth vs those who tell the truth and admit the Flat Top has zero competitors. Just watch the video series on the 304 reasons competent pilots only fly Flat Tops. 304!!! They are so obvious and logical you don't even have to be a pilot to realize how huge the difference is and how insanely sick people are that push anything other than a Flat Top specifically.
All the bad press had me expecting something less logical.
Evil people can tell every lie they can make up but the fact is that the truth just makes sense. Once you start to realize how obvious it is then you start to understand just how sick and purely evil those telling the lies truly are. They don't care one bit how many people they get killed with their blatant dishonesty and incompetence.
Great information
Thanks for the life saving information. If I someday can afford to get into the sport, I'll take heed to your advice and equipment recommendations.
I'm surprised no Risky Biskitts jokes.
in the real world? risky Biskit's translates into chicken shits!
"Sketchy"
Poor guy has no crumple zone on his motor and appears to have no skill with that wing. Crash starts at 1:13. Man's hands appear to be about neck or head level, then straight arms at shoulder level while swinging under collapsing wing. Appears he glides in and never adds throttle. Thanks for speaking up about your Flat Top and Dominator and why they are better/best. I was going to ask what he should have done, but I think you said it best about the no/low hours training and result high crash rate.
Actually you bring up another important factor I didn't mention. This guys motor is OFF. One should never come in to land with their motor off intentionally as having that motor running gives you options and yes adding throttle can really save your butt in many different situations. If you take a full frontal collapse for example or an asymmetric collapse adding throttle can prevent you from losing any real altitude and help it recover faster by immediately raising your angle of attack. So those having students shut their motor off really should not be doing that. At SUPER training the students ALWAYS land with their motor on. Imagine a airplane shutting their motor off when coming into land. It's ridiculous as it eliminates options. So you brought up another very important factor as there are many details like that between competent training and what so many others out there are doing. Sometimes they use the excuse that they don't want people to risk breaking the prop but if their paramotors are so flimsy that the cage can flex into the prop so easily they should not be flying them at all let alone pushing beginners to fly them. The Flat Top is literally about 100 TIMES stronger and more durable so there is no such thing as a "prop strike" for those that fly Flat Tops. That term doesn't even exist at SUPER training as props simply don't strike the cage or frame at SUPER training. You would have to crash very hard and totally crush a Flat Top in order to get the prop to strike the cage. Most units like the scout, blackhawk, parajet, nirvana, fresh breeze, miniplane and so many others take only a few pounds to flex the cage or netting into the prop so the slightest bump and WHAP the whole unit explodes. There is a video of Tucker Gott for example where he falls down because he doesn't have proper skills and just that simple fall break the frame in half on the scout paramotor. Then he tries to fix it with super glue and duct tape..... UG. The Flat Top is not only about 100 TIMES stronger and more durable than a scout but also 7 lbs lighter.
You should challenge Tucker Gott and some of the others you've mentioned to a live streamed debate
lol this is a common misunderstanding of those new to the sport. Those like Tucker would never ever want to have a real conversation with me because they don't even understand the sport or the facts let alone know them well enough to discuss them or try to refute the very obvious facts I share. There is no debate. There is no argument. The facts are the facts. Do you see anywhere even 1 single person trying to refute the facts I share with intelligent information? Nope. They can't. Hundreds dead on the death traps they call "reflex" and all they do is talk trash. What you can see is other experienced pilots supporting the obvious truth in what I shared. It's blatantly obvious. Those like Tucker are so ignorant and dishonest there is no way you will get them to try to debate anything with me. I challenge you to try to set it up. I'll give you a $1000 off your Dominator if you can get them to do it. It would really open people's eyes because I would utterly destroy them with blatantly obvious truth and piles of it but that's why you would never ever get them to allow themselves to have to answer to the actual facts by those that know what they are talking about. It's really sad how many get seriously injured & killed because totally incompetent people pretend to be youtube experts.
@@DellSchanze The really scary thing about Tucker is that he is basically encouraging others to learn on the internet without receiving very important instruction and observed training.
I wonder how Tucker got over one million subscribers, and a well known instructor like Dell has only 40,000 subscribers! Can someone explain that to me ?
Tucker is more an entertainer than anything. He pushes lousy gear because he is paid to. He is young and does silly antics to attract attention and viewers but an expert like Dell he is NOT....NOT EVEN CLOSE. If you want to learn properly and get the safest gear then there is one choice..call Dell.
Like someone else just said,, good video editing skills plus antics
I've heard you mention certified gliders & certified height tie in points before, with no further explanation, and I assumed it was marketing hype. This is the first time I've heard their benefit explained, and I admit it makes sense.
UA-camr Grant Thompson, who I respected, has just died in an apparent paragliding accident. The only clips I've seen of him flying are in tribute videos, & he is flying a paramotor. (Are the reports uneducated or was he into both sports? I don't know). However, it's really brought the safety aspect of the sport close to home.
Ir's not wise to pass off glider certifications as "hype". Or pass off anything from the best pilot and instructor as "hype" when it's so simply and specially explained. The media doesn't know a paraglider from a hang glider. So yes he was flying a paramotor and as usually it was not the safest on the market but quite the opposite of that. These deaths have pretty much nothing at all to do with the actual sport where people do listen to actual experts and get true and real training along with the best and safest gear. Real hype is those pushing totally uncertified gldiers onto complete newbies that have no clue how deadly they are even after sooooo many have died on that crap over and over in the exact same ways I've been warning people about for so many years it's just ridiculous.
Thank you
Two thumbs up!!
Thanks for the video...what cause the 1 death on the Flat Top ? I sure it was operator error but could you share the reason, what he did?
He basically looped upside down face first into the ground. He hit the top right cage piece first so literally beyond face down. The glider was perfectly above him and open on the ground and not wadded up as it would have been had it been a collapse. So the glider was open and loaded he just flew upside down into the ground. He was on the absolute best and safest gear and had truly incredible skills from the best training in the world so with all the odds in his favor then you just chalk it up to crap happens or he was just pushing to do maneuvers he had not been trained to do yet. If you die on the absolute best & safest gear on the market then it's just your time to go. It's the only one in all of history and I have way way way over 11,000 flights without a single injury on the same gear.
@@DellSchanze Thanks for the update Dell. I appreciate the time taken for explanation.
@@DellSchanze It was just his time to go?! This was YOUR student you were responsible for and this is how you respond?
@@Jonwes11 Yes the truth is the truth. If one who followed my advice dies they would do so on the very best & safest paramotor with the best & safest paraglider and the best reserve parachute and with the best training and skills. Yes accidents can happen. An accident is what you call it AFTER they got the very best & safest gear and training in the world but crap still happened. The guy in the above video had the absolute worst paramotor with the absolute worst and most deadly glider and without a reserve and without any proper training. It's the complete opposite of an accident as the scam "instructor" stacked all the odds against the guy not in his favor. Sadly those like you don't care about truth or reality though. You just want to talk trash without the slightest logic to it.
Don’t worry the ground broke his fall and his legs and face took most of the impact
I love the way you people rip on each other.
Didn't really see the guy bury the breaks. Videos a bit grainy, but look like he had his arms at most chest level when the drop starts. Also how the glides all of a sudden shoots to the left violently doesn't seem like break input at all. Looks like he's on a high aspect ratio wing and hit rotor.
Notice his hook in points are up above his head. The certified height hook in points are down near your ribs. So with totally uncertified height hook in points yanking brakes to your waste is burying the brakes which is why he stalled the glider. There is no turbulence. Look at the trees. Do you see them moving? Look at the grass, do you see it moving at all? No wind means no rotor and look at the time of day. There was no turbulence at all here. The problem was horrible training and horrible gear. You can see him weight shifting to the left while then stuffing right brake. THAT is how you spin a glider. You can see it's a totally uncertified death trap glider called the MacPara Charger. Again had that been a certified glider with certified height hook in points this would not have happened because a glider like the Dominator is extremely stall and spin resistant. Why the heck would an "instructor" put a total newbie on a complete death trap glider with a paramotor from the 1980s??? Once he spun the glider it then shot forwards trying to restart as it should and then you can see him slam the brakes again preventing that from happening. This video is a perfect example of absolutely horrible instruction and horrible gear. Never in all of history has this ever happened at SUPER training and SUPER training is the biggest paramotor school in the entire world. Just search youtube for "world's best paramotor training" as every video is of me and SUPER training. Then LOOK at my skill level so you understand the skill level of whom is sharing these details. All these details are very obvious for a skilled pilot. This is the whole point of going to a true and real instructor that knows what the heck they are doing and exactly how to train people properly to prevent this from happening and what gear to put people on to maximize their safety.
If you do a test in oklahoma you are more than welcome to, Country Hollow Campground Shawnee Oklahoma we have a massive field beside the river
Is that field open to Paramotor pilots? Is it maintained? Where do you enter? Thanks
@@fulks19 I would highly recommend not allowing anyone to fly completely uncertified death trap gliders or paramotors that haven't had even basic safety advances in over 40 years and realistically anyone that hasn't graduated SUPER training to fly at your field just for liability reasons. This James guy sadly has a 100% chance he will die just based completely on the gear he flies. He has a 100% chance he WILL take a collapse and it's just a matter of time. WHEN that happens he will do a back flip 180 and lock into a spiral face first towards the ground just like 12 others who died in a single year on that same gear. James I would highly recommend you stay on the ground and do not even think of trying to fly again until you get a Flat Top, Dominator and actually graduate SUPER training. Can you reverse kite no hands? Can you kite up a vertical wall even one less than 1 ft high? Can you perfectly maintain the altitude of your butt using the glider give or take one inch? If not you lack even the most basic ability to control a paraglider and should be learning to fly properly not searching for fields fine sir. Just look at your skill level honestly. Either you have true and real skills or you don't. There shouldn't be any opinion or bias about it. Skill is skill. It's either there or it's not and if you don't have even the most basic skills you should not be trying to fly as it's only a matter of time before you have a very serious issue fine sir. Just call me and come do it the right way. 800-707-2525
Thanks for your offer to use your field. I appreciate that. Because of my skill and the skill of all the SUPERS I fly with we can literally launch just about anywhere so we don't really need a large field just a tiny turn out or open pile of rocks to launch from or even a barn roof will do. We can even launch from fence posts. Rarely would we take the time to drive to an actual field because it's so easy for us to launch from pretty much anywhere. I really appreciate the offer though and if it were ever convenient I would be more than happy to fly from your area. I would highly recommend you double check people's gear and skill before you let them fly there though as there is some seriously horrific gear in this sport and so many people don't have a clue what they are doing it can really jack up areas. If someone is a SUPER graduate with a Flat Top & Dominator you should also find they are not the types to lie, cheat or sue either so a much nicer crowd than so many others. Hope that helps. Again I appreciate your nice comment.
Hey Dell! No need to worry about my dad and I. We actually trained with the world’s best paramotor instructor. Captain Kurt Fister! I don’t know if you’ve heard of him. A Fresh Breeze and a Power Atlas are the safest you can get!
Don't brakes have some type of limiter device on them so you can't pull 4 feet of brake?
No and that wouldn't really work because the stall speed changes with many variables. That isn't really what the problem is though these people are very specifically being scammed with totally bogus training and gear so horrifically unsafe it can't pass ANY level of basic safety tests. To stall a quality glider you would have to bury the brakes as hard and as far as you could physically pull them and then hold them there for about 8 seconds. So it's absolutely not something that is going to happen accidentally with proper gear and training. These people dying don't have even the most basic ability to properly control a paraglider as they didn't get squat for actual practice with the glider and then they were sold totally uncertified death trap wings they call "reflex" which literally have a 100% chance of trying to kill you. So the solution is real actual training and real actual gear that passes actual safety tests along with paramotors designed to protect you from a stall even if you did do it. With a Flat Top & Dominator you could literally stall it from 10,000 ft straight into the ground and the odds are you would still walk away uninjured. It would be incredibly difficult to stall though like I said above. Of course you are trying to think logically about this issue as though those causing these problems would want to fix the problem. These people are like Hillary supporters where logic, reason and facts just don't matter to them so no you can't just think they would do something logical or rational as they won't. They have been getting people seriously injured & killed like this for over 40 years and are actually working to make it WORSE not better exactly like those that would vote for Hillary. So the key is not to deal with people that irrational and dishonest just like it's simply logical not to vote for those like Hillary.
@@DellSchanze Thanks for the reply. TRUMP2020
Send invitation to all paramotor UA-cam personalities ... have competition in person ... or ... set challenges ... each personality video themselves accomplishing challenge ... we can evaluate each on UA-cam
Yes this is exactly what the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships is. Anyone from anywhere in the world can just take a video of themselves doing the task (which is a circle foot drag) and then just post the video. No need to travel around the world or pay money or go through any bs. Just SHOW your skills and if you are the best then you win or you can also see very clearly where you place by the exact number of circles you are able to achieve without an error. The more skill you have the longer you can hold the circle foot drag without messing up. The WPPGA Paramotor World Championships is really the ONLY truly honest skill against skill alone competition I know of in the world right now. There is a ton of bs and fake competitions though like those where they pretend to race around pylons. It's total bs because no competent pilot would ever do that first of all and then it's impossible to compete fairly because the slightest change in wind conditions and the guy with more wind has no chance to beat the guy with less wind. Plus it's bs because it's often someone's buddy running the stopwatch so I have witnessed people like Jeff Goin cheat badly. You can even see him cheat on video in the national glider control competition but my students and I still beat him and all his fake instructors despite him cheating. So yes I would highly encourage people to CHALLENGE those around the world to SHOW their skills and SHOW where they can place in the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships. Those that refuse are not those that care about honesty. Honest people are happy to give respect and kudos to those who legitimately beat them and legitimately have more skill and ability than them. The biggest issue in the sport are those without even the most basic skills pretending to be instructors. Those like Kurt Fister, Aviator ppg, blackhawk and sooooo many others literally can't even do a circle foot drag let alone compete for numbers let alone have their students do the same task. So it makes it very simple to cut through the bs by demanding people SHOW their actual skill and SHOW how their skill directly compares to other people's skills in the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships. Thanks for your comment.

There's far too much hyperbole, for this video to maintain credibility. Training is critical, glider control is essential, both on the ground, and in the air. To say that no other company has innovated, in the past forty years, is a blatant lie. It is true that uncertified gliders have the tendency to be inappropriate for beginners. To say that none will pass a test however, is irresponsible. High hook in points have their advantages, as well as their disadvantages. UA-cam, is intended to be entertainment. While you can get excellent advice from the platform, NONE of it counts as training. even from our friend Super Dell. Flying can be as safe as you make it, or not. The key is finding someone you trust to give the training. For some people, Super Dell is "That Guy". This is not a "One size fits all" type situation. Do your own research. While I am not an instructor, and I have not gone through "Super Training", I too can kite, no hands. Wall walking, can be fun. Just get permission from the property owner first. -OK, like Dell says, "Let's go flying!"
Name one other paramotor that has good protection from the prop, crumple zone, face plant protection, certified height hook in points and a quick release harness let alone the hundreds of other innovations the Flat Top has others don't? You can't because ZERO exist. Name one single glider they call "reflex" that passed real certifications in "reflex mode"? You can't because zero exist. This video SHOWS a guy crash because of uncertified height hook in points so again you show ignorance. You have just proven that you CAN'T be trusted and don't know what you are talking about. People dying because of very specific issues with the gear is not "as safe as you make it". It's blatant dishonesty and incompetent on the part of the scam instructors who pushed this total crap gear onto this and other newbies and then ignorant people like you who talk trash to the actual experts SHOWING the facts. Yes safety features are good for everyone. Who benefits from chopping their fingers off or breaking their back without crumple zone??? Every single main paragliding harness now comes with air bags and foam padding under the seat to address the countless back injuries. The Flat Top crumple zone is at least 50 times more effective than 6-8 inches of foam. Where is ANY video of you or your instructor reverse kiting no hands like this brand new SUPER student: ua-cam.com/video/757j82lTkVU/v-deo.html where is ANY video of you or your instructor kiting up a pole like this SUPER student: ua-cam.com/video/ob9QCbQS89M/v-deo.html SHOW ME. Completely ignorant people like you trying to deceive people with totally false information like you have hear gets people seriously injured & killed!!! YOU are the problem and you show exactly how ignorant and dishonest you are with this very post. You can't back up anything you say and it's blatantly obvious you have no clue what you are talking about. Calling the facts "hyperbole" is seriously sick and evil. It's completely ignorant people like this that get people seriously injured & killed on a regular basis from incompetence and dishonesty exactly like he just posted!! This post shows exactly what I'm talking about. There are many totally ignorant and dishonest people just like this guy who bash, trash and lie without the slightest care for people's lives. What kind of sicko lies about life saving FACTS shared by experts??!!! Seriously how do people get to this level of dishonesty in their life? Literally calling life saving facts "LIES"??!!!!! The guy just pounded in and the incompetent dishonest newbie doesn't care one bit and doesn't even try to address or look at the actual facts. This is exactly how soooooooo many get seriously injured & killed in the sport. Dishonest incompetent newbies just like this lie up and down to people trying to deceive them away from the blatantly obvious and simple facts. Where is even one single video of this guy SHOWING SUPER skills at all let alone straight out of his initial training????? This guy literally got chucked in the air without the slightest ability to truly active pilot his wing and then instead of sharing that FACTS that could help save people's lives he instead LIES about that fact blatantly and tries to deceive others away from the facts. It's like logic, reason, facts and honesty just don't exist in so many in the world today.
It’s common sense to just look at the Hook in points. Regardless of your rant about entertainment. All you need to do is look at the Hook in points and the length of available break. And the certification of your instructor. And the certification of your glider. Makes a lot of sense. Don’t know why you struggle Mark?
Just were is it written in UA-cam's policy that it is only for entertainment? Do you really believe that? Why would a company make a wing that can pass certification not have it certified? That makes no sense because certification will sell more wings. Just because you trust an instructor is a poor reason for choosing that instructor. Many people trusted Richard Nixon too. Enough to elect him president! Trust alone will let you down. I'd rather have a doctor that's the best in his field of expertise operate on me even if I can't stand him as a person rather than a drinking buddy doctor that barely skated through medical school. The gloves been dropped, let's see some skills. Since Dell is claiming best in most of the events that leaves second and third place wide open!
@@BrightBlueJim No logic to that one man. That's like saying that Toyota needs other manufacturers to admit they are the best or you won't believe the truth they share and SHOW. How many other car manufacturers are going to admit that Toyota is the best? Yup zero. That's because ZERO other companies will be honest. So zero is the normal number of honest people out there but in this case I seem to be the only honest person in the entire industry. Again that would seem logical as it's quite common to have zero. So if Toyota says they have 600 hp and SHOW they can run 0-60 in 2.4 seconds you still won't believe them because you claim that only if BMW admits Toyota is better will you then accept it's true? I SHOWED the safety issue. I explained it in detail. I've SHOWN the many tests I've done on other gliders where they don't do this. Since there are zero other honest people in the industry you can ignore the facts but the facts are still the facts even if you don't use logic and reason to accept them. I am THE best paramotor pilot in the world. Anyone can see from my piles of videos that I'm doing things nobody else on earth can do. I'm THE best paramotor instructor in the world. Again anyone can see from the videos that my students have far more skill than students trained anywhere else. Again just because no competitors are going to be honest and admit these facts doesn't mean they are not facts as the facts are quite obvious and logical and the videos backing them up are plentiful.
Sounds like we might have a challenge in the future/ lol
