Shut-up Jon , I called first dibs on the equipement lol . I've never paraglided in my life , but watching this video makes it look so addictive , NOTHING blocks your great views , and it is the cheapest way of flying
10 reasons why not to watch this video 1. Title is a lie, total click bait 2. I now want a paramotor more than food 3. After watching his video all i can do is watch more paramotor videos 4. I am now wasting all my time researching how to get into this sport 5. My wife is annoyed with me for constantly watching UA-cam videos 6. I want to spend all my money on my paramotor rather than my kids 7. My new future hobby will be para-camping instead of just camping 8. My friends all give me a weird look i tell them what I want to do 9. I had to re write my bucket list 10. I had to subscribe to Fly-guy alberta Awesome video
hostessman I really don't get it! I feel the exact same way, but every friend looks at me like I'm nuts. My girlfriend is sick of me mentioning it. I've had to bite my tongue when wanting talk about it. Just yesterday she said "what a beautiful sky" and I replied "we could be up there right this moment!" She rolled her eyes something fierce. Really? Tell me, what's your hobby? Oh. You like to watch chickflix on Netflix? Wow! Excuse me for being fucking excited for flight! We are the sane ones, the ones who laugh, they'll always be on the ground!!! Pshhh
Just about a year ago I saw my first paramotor video on youtube, from Tucker Gott. Over the next couple months it was all I could think about, and I knew I was probably gonna get into this sport I couldnt afford. I saw this video floating around in my recommended videos, and really didnt want to break the spell and watch it - particularly because Im a fellow Albertan. I finally bit the bullet and watched the video and that was all she wrote for me, reached out and got into contact with Air Adventure. Finished my 9th flight a couple days ago, due to in large part this video
Find cheap one, check parts to fix them if something is wrong and here you go! Just invest in chutes, buy main chute and safe chute, more chute you have more chance you will be alive.. moar parachutes!
Yep same!!! But there’s only two places for it near me, one is about 2 hours away and one isn’t far but I’ve seen no updates for like two years, but I think they’re still running?
Bahahahahahah, loved your reasons. I WILL NOT buy one. I've only NOT looked into buying one for a couple years.... but now forget it. I will not sale my extra car that just sits in the driveway collecting cob webs and dirt. I will not use my tax money to invest in this total selfish sport. I cant wait to not buy one.
I agree with you. He makes me want to use my dumb founded strength and slurr him around like a rag doll puppet. And violence ain't the answer but he sounds more of a jerk. What's wrong with expanding your horizon might make you feel more closer to the creator of things or release some tension or add mo kool point on your status. Beats shooting dope or ruining your life.
Maybe find an epic restaurant that you wouldn't even find in a 1000yrs or perhaps you can find treasure or whatever. 1 thing he spent a fortune to buy his I'm building mine's for cheap. + it's more manly and macho.
Ha! Great video! I figured before hand your title was dripping with sarcasm and had to watch it. I want to do this and this is yet another reason to take the leap.
Do you transport your paramotor on the back like that or just to get it ready? I have a jeep, same color too! If I ever get a paramotor, that looks like a good transport solution :]
I really hope I can afford to get into this sport someday. People like you, Tucker Gott, WoodysGamerTag, are just absolutely fantastic people! This is the first of your videos I watched (title made me curious). I LOVED it. I laughed my butt off. I hope I can join you guys in the clouds one day!!!
I was gunna hate on this video thinking this guy was just gunna talk a lot of trash & kill people’s dreams about this sport until I watched it....now I want to do this even more 😂🤷🏻♂️
Thanks brother. I flew Cessna's in the 80s when I was in HS and I've missed the perspective more than anything else. This looks SO amazing. I have three kids... I may need to get into this! : )
Very true. This also applies to air trikes, and hang gliding. Your circle of friends changes completely and all you think about is when the next great weather day will be. This is one of the reasons I live in Southern Nevada.
After getting a private license 30 years ago I was so addicted I went all the way through Commercial/Instrument/CFI. Then, not satisfied I started hang gliding. I was dumfounded when I learned that most other people had no desire to join me in the sky. That's OK, there are plenty of people who DO get it and they make a great group of friends!
Absolutely loved your video.. got my private pilots license back in the eighties. Insurance got too high.. quit flying. This might just be the thing for those of us who have experienced the sights and sounds that we have.Kudos for following your dream.
Ffs... I'm 35 years old. I've always felt like I needed more than work life, family time, gym time, get fucked up with friends time.... Well... Recently my band fell apart. I've been looking for my next little hobbie I could sink my teeth into. I've got a friend that's currently pursuing this.. I clicked on this video to hopefully help me talk myself out the idea of flying about all over place(also an idea the missis hates) Well annoyingly this turns out to be clickbait !! .... But even more annoying is the fact I'm not in the air right now
Greetings from west Edmonton! I just stumbled onto your youtube channel and have subscribed immediately. I came here via Tucker Gott's channel and expect equivalent entertainment value from you also. No, I would never ever fly a paramotor because I'm too afraid of heights and I'm also too old to try it. It's so good to find a youtube channel owned by an Albertan paramotor pilot. Thank you.
Thank you for talking me out of para-motor. You have no idea of how much money you saved me!!!! I wish I saw this three years ago as I could have also saved so much time wasted in pursuing/ researching this ridiculous idea and countless hours of videos. ps love your dry sense of humor and naming of video, and happy to be a new subscriber and supper thumbs up!
most people want a car. many want a house. I'd trade both for one of these. I am getting a paramotor whether I like it or not. but I know I will like it. actually that's a lie because I will love it. no that's still a lie because there's no word to really decribe how much I want one of these damn things!!
Reasons to buy one #1: Drones are basically banned, so paramotor is the best way to take Areal photography. #2: You get top notch training, ultralight license(not required in the USA), and knowledge of aviation. #3: It's way more fun(i would assume but I'm well short of the cost until the economy recovers) #4: Still Cheaper than the 10-15 drones you'd crash trying to learn to fly. #5: I live in the same city as an instructor. #6: The paragliding/motor community is small and not overflowing with duchebags and soccer moms like the storm chasing community. #7: I subscribed to Tucker #8: I subscribed to you
pure genius and spot on! You think motor is obsession free flight paragliding is times 10! Always looking at pressure how fast air is rising, thermal size, cloud base, where I can go and how the hell do I get back to my car. haha
I was about to say :" yea another one that say bullshits against paramotors blablabla.." but i looked it and all i can say : Welcome to the community mate lol and hello from France!
#1 is actually one reason why I like drones. This uniqe perspective is something they can offer, too. Of course, you won't be flying yourself, but you can save money and you can do it if you are, like me, 16 years old and in germany.
What did it cost in Thailand? A little less, or a little more? I noticed not everything was cheaper in the Philippines. Dive gear is more expensive even though a boat ride or a good meal is dead cheap
WOW! Thank you! Prior to watching this video, I watched a video that listed serious CONS regarding ppg. Decisions, decisions................I an GLAD I watched your video immediately afterwards. Sincerely, thank you. My fire is burning.
James Edwards The earth obviously isn't flat and i think it was a joke but you actually can't see the curvature from that altitude, it's the fish eye effect from the camera.
I see what you did there, made the positives into negatives for more views! Sneaky sneaky lolol I’m glad it was that way because I’m thinking about getting into paramotors to check our hunting ranch and got nervous when I saw the title so you sucked me right in😂
7 років тому+4
Now I have to get one just to see if you're lying. :)
I want to get into Paramotoring so badly. I live in Sask and I believe someplace in Alberta is the closest place to take the course. So that's one major thing in the way right now. I just don't know if I would go there and say the weather is horrible, what happens then? Not like I can just go home and come back another day.
Polini...lol...ive never heard of it but obviously Italian like my Ducati...ah those Italians know how to have fun...i think you guys are nuts for going higher than 6 feet off the ground but i really enjoy the videos you make
Thank you for this video. You saved me a ton of money. I was going to get a couple of these for my Son and I to fly, but you helped me see the light. Sorry Kid.
I started skydiving in 2017 and a fellow jumper took up powered paragliding shortly thereafter (we met during STP). Looks like I’ve got a new sport to learn.
Wooow... i was just about to order my first paramotor but thought " i haven't checked the cons yet " so i came upon your video. You saved my life man... i'll just keep my moral compass straight and stick to using heroin. This paramotor thing really was a bad idea ! Thanks man !!! 🙂
Wonderful video, had a good laugh. We had a flight in an Aerochute just over 20 years ago just out of Melbourne. Considering having another look thanks to you. Number 9 was my favourite. Thanks for cheering my day and reminding me of what's important in life.
Was your launch point the South Calgary airport? Across the river from the 'Hell on Wheels' set? We use the crash site there for CASARA exercises frequently.
I really love those ten reasons! For a long time I've been thinking of doing something like paragliding! But I never did before. And don't know from where to start! I really want to join in the club of flying! Please just let me know how start! Thank you!
That was sooo faaarny. You completely sucked me in. I thought this was going to be serious and it had my curiosity up. Those ten problems WOULD keep you up at night!
I am speculating paramotor for my next sports hobby. I thought your 10 reasons would influence me to forget about it. Unfortunately, your 10 reasons made me more excited about the sports.
and btw the heat here in the Philippines is averagely by 30 so if I want to go paragliding in my home country 2 layers of clothes or maybe just 1 layer should be enough cause if your higher than the sea level the cold air is satisfyingly enjoyable in the Philippines
Thanks for the advice. I was coming out of retirement so I could graduate from free flight to PPG. Now I can stay home and not worry about flying on my days off. NOT!! Blue Sky's and Safe Journeys!
I am so glad I watched this video. I was seriously considering taking all my money and buying one of these and taking lessons in innisvail or however it's spelt. Whew you probably saved me 13-15k
I was like can there really be ten resons NOT to get into paramotoring. Excellent video I watched it with my grandkids (im only 50!) and they were all like dont die, but if you do can I have your skateboard! lol
As long as you are responsible and not an idiot on these things I see no issue into not getting one. I want one so bad but I have to pay off a couple bills first. I've actually found a few good rigs for around 3300
Love this video and why I should not get into PPG. What's life, if not to enjoy a different perspective on a joyous life such as the view and joy of freedom on a PPG? Thanks for sharing !
Ive been flying fpv quadcopters and pretty much all of these apply to this hobby too. Looks awesome. What would be the first step getting into paramotoring? Getting a parachute thingy?
i live in edmonton and i am thinking about getting into this , any ideas on where one would start , secondly how safe is it , how common are wing collapses ?
Hey bud ! Great video :) I live in sherwood park ,alberta ! And recently I cannot stop watching videos about paramotors . This coming up summer I will be taking lessons and buys a paramotor . Maybe I will see you out there :) what part of alberta are you from ?
You're right, just give your equipement to me and rid yourself of this nonsense.
Jon Netbotic yeah just pass over the equipment and everything will be fine lol
Shut-up Jon , I called first dibs on the equipement lol . I've never paraglided in my life , but watching this video makes it look so addictive , NOTHING blocks your great views , and it is the cheapest way of flying
Jon Netbotic you should give some to me too, just to be safe
I call first dibs on the wing! Gimme the wing! It's mine!
You had me with the ‘money’ part. I got too many hobbies anyways.
My wife told me I have to give up my paramotor or else she will leave me. Gosh I'm gonna miss her!
USNVA lovely comment really made me laugh :-)
Iiiiiiiii'm gonna miss her, when I get home. Walk through the door tonight and I'm gonna miss her
XD Get a tandem paramotor and she'll instantly change her mind!
Brad paisley, and I'm over in England,
Good choice

hostessman ---beat me to it!!
I'm hostessman's Aussie twin.
People ask me all the time, "is that fun"? I tell them, only thing I can compare it to is sex, but it last a lot longer and not nearly as dangerous.
LOL just like Arnie said once --- "You keep cumming and cumming and cumming all the time"
Gleanerman I don't think having a chance to crash and die is more dangerous than sex, also sex doesn't cost 7,000 dollars
Gfhgfgfggfgggfbfg Hhhgggdfy you've never been married or had a long term relationship... Pussy costs WAAAAAY more than 7k
Gfhgfgfggfgggfbfg Hhhgggdfy Ask my divorce lawyer how much sex cost me. *Significantly* more than $7K.
Hell yeah dude!!! :D

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I just bought a ten thousand dollar Paramotor...
vamperr hows it treating you? U got instagram
What kind of wing is it going with?

lol that is funny

That was lame
i just bought one!
its heavier than i thought it would be
You should make a video about it on your phone, I'll even subscribe to you so I can see if first
Good for you!
Good for you. Let's see some videos.
how much did you buy it for and from were?
Now you've got 10 reasons why you should give it to me.
lol too funny! I have been doing nothing but dream about Paramotoring ever since I saw the first damn videos!
Daniel Fessenden me too bro
Daniel Fessenden still dreaming of paramotors? Got one yet?
Find cheap one, check parts to fix them if something is wrong and here you go! Just invest in chutes, buy main chute and safe chute, more chute you have more chance you will be alive.. moar parachutes!
Yep same!!! But there’s only two places for it near me, one is about 2 hours away and one isn’t far but I’ve seen no updates for like two years, but I think they’re still running?

Jeffrey Rowell hilarious!😂
Great video! After all those reasons I bought one!!! I can't even sleep the night before I fly.
one of the best video on UA-cam. I want one now
I don't give a shit about anything, I want this...
I agree with you. He makes me want to use my dumb founded strength and slurr him around like a rag doll puppet. And violence ain't the answer but he sounds more of a jerk.

Well done buddy keep the vids comin!
Do you transport your paramotor on the back like that or just to get it ready? I have a jeep, same color too! If I ever get a paramotor, that looks like a good transport solution :]
just to get ready :)
He told his paramotor he was sorry and gave it a kiss after every cut.
Aha just now getting to see this... LOVE it.
I miss sleeping in too though ;)
Most of it is clickbait but also I love you aviatorshow
I really hope I can afford to get into this sport someday. People like you, Tucker Gott, WoodysGamerTag, are just absolutely fantastic people! This is the first of your videos I watched (title made me curious). I LOVED it. I laughed my butt off.
I hope I can join you guys in the clouds one day!!!
Reason 1. Say goodbye to college money
Too late...
what brought you here, i want to know. . .
1 reason to buy a paramotor : It's super fun ! And that's enough for me to buy it and have fun i never have experienced !!
Besides the money and coldness stuff, those seemed like pretty good reasons *to get a paramotor.* XD
I was gunna hate on this video thinking this guy was just gunna talk a lot of trash & kill people’s dreams about this sport until I watched it....now I want to do this even more 😂🤷🏻♂️
Thanks brother. I flew Cessna's in the 80s when I was in HS and I've missed the perspective more than anything else. This looks SO amazing. I have three kids... I may need to get into this! : )
Once you see the earth is actually flat you never go back
Yeah ok. I wonder how _flat-Minded_ you are.
Very true. This also applies to air trikes, and hang gliding. Your circle of friends changes completely and all you think about is when the next great weather day will be. This is one of the reasons I live in Southern Nevada.
I am 14 and I want to buy one but when I saw that title my dreams got smaller but they came back when I watched that video and this was just a joke
DankestMaymasFin same hahah
Same I’m so anxious
After getting a private license 30 years ago I was so addicted I went all the way through Commercial/Instrument/CFI. Then, not satisfied I started hang gliding. I was dumfounded when I learned that most other people had no desire to join me in the sky. That's OK, there are plenty of people who DO get it and they make a great group of friends!
Reason # 11: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" SPLAT!
to me, that's reason #1. there is no #2,3,4,5, etc.
Uncle Putin the speed was crap but the splat was exelent
Uncle Putin they can have reserve parachutes plus you are securely attached to the parachute so there is little chance of falling
Exactly. If your two-stroke goes out of commission, you're still going to land safely.
Absolutely loved your video.. got my private pilots license back in the eighties. Insurance got too high.. quit flying. This might just be the thing for those of us who have experienced the sights and sounds that we have.Kudos for following your dream.
Ffs... I'm 35 years old. I've always felt like I needed more than work life, family time, gym time, get fucked up with friends time....
Well... Recently my band fell apart. I've been looking for my next little hobbie I could sink my teeth into.
I've got a friend that's currently pursuing this..
I clicked on this video to hopefully help me talk myself out the idea of flying about all over place(also an idea the missis hates)
Well annoyingly this turns out to be clickbait !!
.... But even more annoying is the fact I'm not in the air right now
*k*
Did u ever buy one?
Greetings from west Edmonton! I just stumbled onto your youtube channel and have subscribed immediately. I came here via Tucker Gott's channel and expect equivalent entertainment value from you also. No, I would never ever fly a paramotor because I'm too afraid of heights and I'm also too old to try it. It's so good to find a youtube channel owned by an Albertan paramotor pilot. Thank you.
the 1k people that disliked didnt watch the vid lol.
Yeah, i nearly did it .....
because people are stupid
Thank you for talking me out of para-motor. You have no idea of how much money you saved me!!!! I wish I saw this three years ago as I could have also saved so much time wasted in pursuing/ researching this ridiculous idea and countless hours of videos.
ps love your dry sense of humor and naming of video, and happy to be a new subscriber and supper thumbs up!
most people want a car. many want a house. I'd trade both for one of these. I am getting a paramotor whether I like it or not. but I know I will like it. actually that's a lie because I will love it. no that's still a lie because there's no word to really decribe how much I want one of these damn things!!
Reasons to buy one
#1: Drones are basically banned, so paramotor is the best way to take Areal photography.
#2: You get top notch training, ultralight license(not required in the USA), and knowledge of aviation.
#3: It's way more fun(i would assume but I'm well short of the cost until the economy recovers)
#4: Still Cheaper than the 10-15 drones you'd crash trying to learn to fly.
#5: I live in the same city as an instructor.
#6: The paragliding/motor community is small and not overflowing with duchebags and soccer moms like the storm chasing community.
#7: I subscribed to Tucker
#8: I subscribed to you
The title triggerd me Intel I watched the video
Robert Spelciuc Ahaha me too
Intel core?
intel inside, idiot outside.
Robert Spelciuc Intel core? Like for your pc?
guys it was a misspell
he didn't mean "Intel"
he meant "Inbred"
Thanks Fly-guy I was so close to buying a paramotor but after watching your video I've decided to take up bird watching
Damn, such good reasons. You've swayed me away from getting a paramotor. And I was so excited too. Drat
Awesome video! Now I’m intrigued but I just need to ask how you captured the shot on the last part of your video. Was there another glider behind you?
Sees one video about Paramotor: Wow thats cool, how much does that cost?
Me after I found out what it costs: Ok nevermind...
Arent they about 6k? Not bad at all. You will be god damn flying! Lol
@@nn-bv8ki well for a motor, wing, and reasonable training the costs still only come to an upward range of 15-20k which is just your average car
pure genius and spot on! You think motor is obsession free flight paragliding is times 10! Always looking at pressure how fast air is rising, thermal size, cloud base, where I can go and how the hell do I get back to my car. haha
Reason 11
You’ll soon realize that the Earth is not a spinning ball !
I was planning on buying one. I haven't watched the video but I can tell with the amount of reasons not to buy one that I shouldn't. Thanks for this.
I was about to say :" yea another one that say bullshits against paramotors blablabla.." but i looked it and all i can say : Welcome to the community mate lol and hello from France!
This is the best video I have seen in awhile! Love your humor! I want to get one but I am afraid of heights and flying. Now, I am considering.
Zin Min awesome, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
Such an awesome video! Great job!
Thx man....and the beauty of the internet.....the 'Delete' button for guys like Superdell.
#1 is actually one reason why I like drones. This uniqe perspective is something they can offer, too. Of course, you won't be flying yourself, but you can save money and you can do it if you are, like me, 16 years old and in germany.
Exactly how I feel. Bought one in Thailand and never going home.
Todd Piercey With the polluted skies? Yeah you good
prmpt The air is too dense to even walk never mind fly!
paramotor or wife ? lol
What did it cost in Thailand? A little less, or a little more?
I noticed not everything was cheaper in the Philippines. Dive gear is more expensive even though a boat ride or a good meal is dead cheap
You guys don't get the joke
Capping Inversions, humidity, low level jets, level of free sink, convergence zones, gravity waves, parcel buoyancy. All the good stuff.
I feel the struggle brother!
Applies to PG also pretty much, but add stupid amounts of hiking up to launch and then often having to hike BACK DOWN
Love your video
I've been looking into this and I thought there were 10real reasons not to buy but now I want it even more
Thanks!
WOW! Thank you! Prior to watching this video, I watched a video that listed serious CONS regarding ppg. Decisions, decisions................I an GLAD I watched your video immediately afterwards. Sincerely, thank you. My fire is burning.
HELLO FLAT EARTH
Meiers Daniel U betta bck to Eric Dubays chann...Suits u a lil betta!!
Meiers Daniel Hello there
Meiers Daniel fuck u oh wait your not real ha bye u have mean muted cause u ain't real
Fml the world isn't flat, you can't see the curve from the height that paramotor fly at lol
James Edwards The earth obviously isn't flat and i think it was a joke but you actually can't see the curvature from that altitude, it's the fish eye effect from the camera.
I see what you did there, made the positives into negatives for more views! Sneaky sneaky lolol I’m glad it was that way because I’m thinking about getting into paramotors to check our hunting ranch and got nervous when I saw the title so you sucked me right in😂
Now I have to get one just to see if you're lying. :)
I want to get into Paramotoring so badly. I live in Sask and I believe someplace in Alberta is the closest place to take the course. So that's one major thing in the way right now. I just don't know if I would go there and say the weather is horrible, what happens then? Not like I can just go home and come back another day.
Thanks for the warning... I'm screwed... What brand/model of motor and wing are you using?
Polini engine, Skycruiser frame, Aeros wing
Polini...lol...ive never heard of it but obviously Italian like my Ducati...ah those Italians know how to have fun...i think you guys are nuts for going higher than 6 feet off the ground but i really enjoy the videos you make
Thank you for this video. You saved me a ton of money. I was going to get a couple of these for my Son and I to fly, but you helped me see the light. Sorry Kid.
Loved it great reasons!
I started skydiving in 2017 and a fellow jumper took up powered paragliding shortly thereafter (we met during STP). Looks like I’ve got a new sport to learn.
You had me at Number 8 ---- Now,I'm a Subscriber Too.... Thanks to this Video !!!!! Thumbs Up ......
Wooow... i was just about to order my first paramotor but thought " i haven't checked the cons yet "
so i came upon your video. You saved my life man... i'll just keep my moral compass straight and
stick to using heroin. This paramotor thing really was a bad idea ! Thanks man !!! 🙂
I didn't watch video but if there is any reason not too I won't even bother knowing about it anymore.
it's satire
Wonderful video, had a good laugh. We had a flight in an Aerochute just over 20 years ago just out of Melbourne. Considering having another look thanks to you. Number 9 was my favourite. Thanks for cheering my day and reminding me of what's important in life.
#1 "your view of the world will be changed forever". He's trying to explain that the Earth is flat but he is to scared to say it head on to you guys
"It's like a weather addiction"
Haha, love this!
Nobody understands that this is satire...
Was your launch point the South Calgary airport? Across the river from the 'Hell on Wheels' set? We use the crash site there for CASARA exercises frequently.

That was brilliant! I'm planning on buying one but still confused about the difference in A wings!
and btw the heat here in the Philippines is averagely by 30 so if I want to go paragliding in my home country 2 layers of clothes or maybe just 1 layer should be enough cause if your higher than the sea level the cold air is satisfyingly enjoyable in the Philippines

I am so glad I watched this video. I was seriously considering taking all my money and buying one of these and taking lessons in innisvail or however it's spelt. Whew you probably saved me 13-15k
What's the cheapest you could pick up a used one to see if u like it?
Haven't done it yet, but I am going to! I gotta laugh at your advice! I know it will happen to me as well. Thank You for the humor!
Nice take on the pro's of paramotoring. Do you have any recommendations on "not starting" this great hobby?
Thanks
I was like can there really be ten resons NOT to get into paramotoring. Excellent video I watched it with my grandkids (im only 50!) and they were all like dont die, but if you do can I have your skateboard! lol
Great video dude. I’ve only been watching for 2 days and thinking about getting one.
As long as you are responsible and not an idiot on these things I see no issue into not getting one. I want one so bad but I have to pay off a couple bills first. I've actually found a few good rigs for around 3300
What is a good starter rig to buy in 2022 ??
Best video! Made sure I watched it with my wife as I am researching getting into this.
This is high on my list of videos that pushed me over the edge and head over heels into PPG. Thank you
Love this video and why I should not get into PPG. What's life, if not to enjoy a different perspective on a joyous life such as the view and joy of freedom on a PPG? Thanks for sharing !
I love it. I'm 14yrs in this sport and still feel the same dam way 👍👍👍
Great video! My favorite not to reason...You spend money on yourself vs. your kids!!! I can so relate. What wing do you fly by the way? Thanks!
Aeros Vitamin 30m
You are a true voice of reason and have potentially saved thousands of lives.
Ive been flying fpv quadcopters and pretty much all of these apply to this hobby too. Looks awesome. What would be the first step getting into paramotoring? Getting a parachute thingy?
This is not why you SHOULDN'T buy a paramotor, it's how a paramotor changed his life
Curious - what type of camera rig did you use to get that last shot from behind while you were flying? Looks awesome!
Use a follow cam (go pro) made from a pop bottle
Thank you, I am definitely NOT doing research, at work, on the best and budget friendly starter set ups.
What, in your opinion, would be the least expensive machine that wouldn't kill a 230 lb man?
Totally LOVE this video! Funny...and true!!! Keep em coming!!
i live in edmonton and i am thinking about getting into this , any ideas on where one would start , secondly how safe is it , how common are wing collapses ?
Hey bud ! Great video :) I live in sherwood park ,alberta ! And recently I cannot stop watching videos about paramotors . This coming up summer I will be taking lessons and buys a paramotor . Maybe I will see you out there :) what part of alberta are you from ?
Fly mostly south of Calgary and west of Innisfail....hope to meet you in the skies!!
