That was the best tutorial I have seen yet! I have been watching PPG channels/videos for a long time. hundreds of them. brighter light with closer camera work would be helpful but this is the best one I have ever seen. You did a really good job!
Hey, thanks for this, very useful! I'm learning all the theory I can for the next year when my doc takes me off blood thinners and I can actually take some lessons and learn to fly. This is lovely and detailed and I have saved it for more watching later.
Great video new subscriber for you…I’m only new to paramotoring I’m from Ireland 🇮🇪 I went to spain and did my course with fly spain in January/February this year nothing like flying I love it 🇪🇸 ⛅️ 🪂
I self trained. People with patience and self discipline can do it. Most aren’t patient enough however. The training entails reading wing manual, PPG book of knowledge, and lots of kiting, like 30 hours in variable conditions. Flying with motor is the last 5%. Not the first. Also now with having over 250 hours, I would highly suggest that if you are younger than 55 and in good health just of get PG certified and a USHPA license. It’s going to be a lot more valuable than PPG certification, assuming even if you get one as most schools are not certified. The PG training cost is less and you will learn a lot more with paragliding training that will translate to PPG. But PPG training and flying is very basic and doesn’t translate well to PG.
Clearly, something that seems to require a lot of practice to get the feeling & coordination of (a lot more complicated than just patting your head & rubbing your stomach at the same time). I would imagine you want to have all of this nailed down on practice runs before your feet leave the ground.
@@GrahmDettling A lot of us who are in love w/ all aspects of Human Flight, are openly envious of all you pilots who took the plunge & just decided, "...damn it, I'm going to fly." It's obviously something "almost" anyone can learn but relatively few do. I think of it as a line you either cross or don't (& many don't). This is why most pilots are treated w/ such respect by the general public, bc flight seems like a magical thing for humans & only pilots do it.
Not sure I covered it in the video but always always run under the wing. Your body movement is much more important than brake input. You should be able to kite the wing without your hands when you get the hang of it
That was really helpful, thank you.
Absolutely I'm glad it was helpful!
This is probably the best video on UA-cam I have watched! On launching. Thank you 🙏🙏😊😊
Glad it was helpful I'm probably gonna make a part two to cover some things in better detail and a few techniques I recommend

I'm glad it was helpful and thank you for the honest feedback that's what I need to be able to improve! Thanks for watching
Best explanation I’ve seen thanks…
Glad it was helpful if you have any questions just let me know!

Awesome I hope you get to start your Paramotor journey soon you will love it! Best of luck!

That's good advice I would love to get pg certified myself!
Great video
Thanks!
Great Video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Nice job Grahm. Is this how you trained Bart?
Ehh I just told him to add power and run lol

It takes some practice but it's kinda like riding a bike once you learn it it comes pretty naturally

Start my training in 2 weeks with Trevor Steele (Backcountry PPG) and this was helpful in preparation!

Licensed trainer? Licensed by what agency?
?
Who gives out licenses for training?
I'm not sure I don't think you have to have a license to train honestly but I can't say for sure
