Very cool. I started taking foot launch paramotor training 3 days ago, I'm 59 years old and changed the training to trike. I can't wait to fly it alone soon. I really enjoy your videos.
Hey man, just came across your channel today. It is awesome. I can’t wait to share it but I have just a couple of questions. If you have a video about buying a paraplane used and how to check it out that includes unpacking the foil check it out lines and the frame, the Paraplane I bought was the first generation with the two 210 solo dual prop small fold aluminum frame trike. I’ve owned it for three years still in the crate never unpacked it it’s used of course but I just need to know what I should do when checking it out just in the yard to do a safety check on it and of course I’ve never flown I have a basic pilots license from the 80s but I’m sure it doesn’t cross over to this. Also, I’ve kept kept the packed foil in a room downstairs with low humidity the whole time. Also, just let me say you’re the most non-condescending channel that I’ve seen yet you tell it real and you don’t talk down to people that’s pretty cool thanks.
I just recently had my 8th skydiving jump. Unfortunately my head/ears can't handle the constant altitude changes. My ears were plugged for 3 days and I had a bad headache. I even had a bloody nose on that last jump. I got into skydiving because I loved the canopy part. I really should look into flying this way. I know I'd love it!
Man I about to buy one 4000 bucks and never been up..but got the fever.... Motocross scuba diving deer hunting bear hunting hog hunting I'm ready to move on
We need to have a rematch, but with the Rzr. I know that will give you a run for your money. 😉 Would make for a hell of a video, some GoPros on the Rzr.
This is so expertly put together that it seems like it would have been done on a huge budget. Anthony, don't know how you do it but ya make a guy refinishing doors seem interesting. Well done my friend
Thank you very much! This man built a beautiful door for the front of our home many years ago. Ever since then, we've kept in touch. He's really a great person. Hopefully this helps him get the word out.
You do realize that you are really good at video production right. I know paramotors are your passion, but you could make lots of money doing this type of work if you wanted
i’ve always loved our door but i gotta say, after visiting his shop, i want another! he and his team are so talented. speaking of talents, this video is beautiful. you did a great job at capturing his passion and showcasing his shop. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Haha! It was totally random, but people - like this guy - really interest me. He’s so passionate about something random; Old doors in this case. Who knows who else is out there. Could be fun to post a video like this every blue moon.
Here is a link to his website! www.weststudiodoors.com/ ps. I know that not a flying video (like most of the other videos on my channel), but this man is such a wonderful person who is doing something awesome! So... I just felt like making a video for him. I hope you enjoyed it. =D
Haha! He actually ships the majority of his doors to places outside of El Paso. He made one for my house several years ago. He is such an awesome person that I wanted to make a video on him and what he does. lol. Hopefully subscribers forgive me since it doesn't have anything to do with paramotors. Haha
that wing looks like a pain in the ass for forward zero wind launch. You may need to full-on superman those A's in order for it to not fall backwards half way through the run
I am a beginner with a Magic Motor. Never have an issue. Just sprint the first few steps and then get on the power. I think Josh was relying on the wing to come up without running quite fast enough.
thank you so much for this video! I am wanting to get into ppg, but do not want to buy something that I would outgrow and have to spend a lot more money after a very big purchase. I guess I am "vanilla" because the things I have talked to many about, they recommend a more advanced system. I see what you do with this wing, and yeah that is what I am looking for! I realize what is more advanced in my eyes is not advanced at all to those I have been conversing with. (my explaining flying close to ground and weaving in and out of hay bales and such.) Watching your video of turns and flying close to the ground is plenty enough for me, as I would fight my urge to keep pressing myself because I want to live another day to continue to enjoy. I do want to ask if this wing would work with a trike or you have another suggestion. I would hate to buy a set up only to learn I can not do foot launch. Thank you again for all of your videos.
I have done some stupid things over the years and going "hands up" has been the most reliable skill when I feel overwhelmed. Hands up till flare, can get you pretty far.
Is that the field from two years ago that you cleared out all of the irrigation sprinkler heads? If not, what became of that? Concerning ground rush, I recommend newbies stand up at their computer and watch this video, mimicking the flare when she does. They are much higher speed, but the ground rush is what you want the student to overcome, so this is helpful for them to see how something so fast can become a short few steps. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kQtWPhyf19Y.htmlsi=s5zkVMKhB0Q0h48_
right iam an experienced paramotor pilot. now this student getting ready for a forward take off? Where's the wind sock? the student should do his own preflight checks and no one else otherwise he's not ready for flying . the instructor is there via radio. and he also has eyes on the student. ok in nearly nil wind forward launches. the student depending on brand of winf could of powered prop to angle wind over and above the wing to enhance take off but the student is only as good as the instructor taught him what to do. hmmm. I am not impressed. get a better instructor. he landed. he's ok paramotor ok. live and learn a bit like life.
Student does the checks. I double check. Wind sock doesn’t move at all in nil wind. We’ve discussed powered forwards, but as you know, that puts stress on the hoop and can cause flex toward propeller. If the student is only as good as the instructor, then there’s a chance he could be the greatest Paramotor pilot in the world (once I quit flying). Lol
I had an old RAF flying instructor that once said to me ( insert very RAF voice and handlebar mustache) "Giles, aeroplanes are designed to fly themselves, we just interfere with them".
I did the same on my first couple landings. For some reason I was feeling the glider rock one way and would over compensate too late to try to turn it back, by then i was landing with one toggle way further down than the other. I was more than likely also looking down and not fwd. great clips though. I could feel the mosquitoes from here!
