The Reality of the USA'S Paramotor Community. 

ALL I SEE ARE A BUNCH OF TERRORISTS EATING PRICKLY PEAR

Thanks for this video. A couple weeks ago I was at a bar having wings next to a drunk man, and when I mentioned that I flew a paramotor to the bartender, the drunk guy leaned over and told me I should be careful mentioning that around here because of recent events and reminded me that a lot of people in this area have guns... He proceeded to go on a ridiculous rant that I mostly ignored until I could finish my wings and leave. It was really disheartening.

Anything and I do mean anything can be used for evil or good it all depends on the person and people using it. Even my radio-controlled airplanes are demonized because of what's happening in the war in Ukraine . Everybody scared of everything nowadays and they just want something to complain about

Thank you for making this!

GREAT Video Judson !

I had a couple comments like that on my channel as well... just ppl being trolls too

EXCELLENT JOB!!

Ahhhh yea grab me a soda and chill out to this

2:18 That right there. That's the thing.

Not to toot my own horn, but when I fly out here in PA, I'm a local celebrity. Kids love me, parents love me, and I have yet to meet anyone that didn't want to see me takeoff and fly overhead. It's not that I'm turning a blind eye to the negativity of people in the world, no no. It's that I choose to fight it with aggresive enthusiasm. My love for this sport is so strong and so clear, that no one could possibly see it any other way. Stand your ground with a smile, fellow pilots. WE are the face of the sport. Love your journeys as always, Judson.

..... also, a very nice coincidence that you were filming near Zion.

Thanks Judson. You're the first pilot I've heard address this issue. Love your work.

First! lol!

Giving attention to such ridiculous narratives is pointless. Your video here is actually the first I heard of it. You're not countering it, you're spreading it. It didn't add anything to this otherwise interesting video about paramotoring.

I was wondering when someone was going to address this earlier today……

Well thought out and crafted sir. Thanks for addressing this. Beautiful camera work likewise.

What better place to bare the contrast than Zion? Beautiful one bud!

Awesome views around Zion. You continuously give a positive image to this sport. I too was set back a bit by the extreme negative activities of certain paramotor pilots from Gaza. Evil intention will find whatever means. All the innocent caught in between is mind blowing. Out of our control. All we can do is live righteously and try to be an example to others. Your love for this sport and cinematography accomplishes some of that I believe. Peace.✌

7:03 Josh: "We're at Brad Apples!" 🤣 I hadn't heard it called that, yet. Priceless.

Seems sad there's bound to be many places in that area and further that ban paramotoring now. That was my first thought anyhow, sucks to see this get shut down.

Bro whYYYY does iPhone footage always come out like crap

First they come after my guns, next they come after my paramotor. Paramotors don't kill people, people kill people.

I had to cancel a demo flight at a GA flyin recently over the "optics" issue, Ive also had to modify what I wear since a Para Ninja is not a good look. Im guessing they are going to regulate us to death like everything else, I recently went to a motorcycle park and my god the regulation around just riding a dirt bike around a dirt field was off the charts, serial numbers, licenses, full body safety gear, nanny state bs and rules that went on forever.. looked like the most un fun thing ever, no wonder most Californians just sit at home and do drugs, its about the only unregulated thing they have left.

Nicely done man. Appreciate the positivity as always. Fly safe!

You accept bums in the group. Sign me up.

Another good one. Keep painting the good picture.

I can fly !!,,, most incredible thing on the planet to run into flight!!!!

Very good my man. Well done.

F these people who are commenting bad on paramotors now. These are the same idiots that threw in Chinese restaurant windows when Covid happened.

Awesome! Thanks Judson!

Love your video's, positive vibe and true film making going on here

You kids with your assault paramotors...

Brad Apprles, yes!!!! lololol

Well-said words at the end dude, keep up the good work 👏👏👏

I'm loving the content man. Nice job!

Very good video.

We are not them!,!!

I feel like some of the negativity wouldn't be there if not for the novelty of paramotors. I don't remember anyone taking issue with the actual planes used in 9/11 and I certainly didn't see anyone switch attitudes on guns when those were used in the same situation. I kinda think people just make the negative paramotor association because that is the place they first saw them. Hopefully this video will open a mind or two. Also it's just a really pretty video visually and emotionally.

Yo, what video editor do you use? My video editor totally sucks

Hey Judson, thanks for sharing your perspective with us !! Also, your filming skills are excellent !!

Excellent piece of work man. Such good stuff coming from your efforts!

@ 9:42. Beautiful words...i love it!

Great Video!!! I was disappointed to miss You in Corpus! Everybody I’ve met in this sport, treats everybody like family. So glad you made this video Judson.

Hey Judson, nice video. Well done. Good subject matter. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for doing this. I was a civilian contractor in Oman and we had a coworker that flew with a couple locals. I thought about them when this happened. That’s what brought the two cultures together was paramotoring.

Great vid, but who in God's name would equate what you are doing with what those bloodthirsty murderers did. And, if there are some people out there comparing the two things they don't even deserve the recognition in a great video like this one!

Man Judson, your videos just keep getting better and better. Great editing.

You captured the heart of this event in a great way! Thanks Judson!

Watched on the tv but had to come here and comment to support the algorithm because these videos are amazing man. Keep em coming

Terrific community to be a part of. Beautiful work!

🥰Awesomeness!
