Great to see you flying on Czech equipment. Mac Para and Nirvana paramotor. 👍👍👍

A thoughtful and simple explanation of this amazing sport. Next time some one asks me what PPG is all about, I'll send them this video. Nicely done, John!

This was probably the best video explaining the basics of paramotors ive ever seen!!!!!!!! Great information

Good job John. Excellent production! Love it.

It was really cool to find a face that represented PPG flying so well. Flying foot launch is an incredible feeling. I wish more people could have the experience.

If I wasn't already starting my training in this sport, this video would have probably inspired me to do so. Great explanations of how to control the glider and equipment. Be a while before I'm confident flying over large water, but what great scenery!

Beautiful video very nicely done. It really captures how incredible flying a Paramotor is like.

This is one of the most well put together videos about introduction to this sport. I'll be spending months going over multiple training sites and equipment before I decide which one to go to, but this one is now high on my list.

So I've been researching this sport for a couple of years now. I really enjoyed your style of explaining how the wing operates, how many lines a wing has, the functions of each line, the general mechanics of the wing and the rules for engagement. Boy I'd sure like to have you for my instructor in this sport. You really should consider becoming a Certified Instructor. I believe that you'd be really great at it. Thanks for sharing your insight and your passion for this amazing sport. Be safe and God Bless !

The joy you show is the same reason I got into soaring/gliding a couple years ago. So simple and free! Wow! I'm going to have to try this, too.

Well done, beautiful pictures, insightful narrative, truly enjoyable.

I trained under the narrator, John Black, and it was life changing. The experience of PPG flying is unlike anything I've every encountered. This is my favorite thing to do now.

Nice down to earth (sorry for the pun) into to the world of flying. I think this video is one of the best I have seen. All the best from a very chilly Sweden. (No shorts when flying here in winter).

your videos are the best intro paramotor videos on youtube. I want to learn how to fly one of these!

"The most portable aircraft in the world." Sounds SO damn nice.

That looks so easy to learn.I love the low skimming flight.

Awesome introduction - well done!!

I really enjoy this sort of flying especially on a trike! Nice to have the freedom on your feet.

Excellent video on the sport!

Another nice EAA video! Well done again, Brady! Thanks for posting! with the number of "Dislikes" its for sure somebody with "a hidden agenda", that kinda stuff is so lousy...Thanks for a great video about a great hobby!

Truly one of the coolest things we can do on this beautiful planet:)

Great video, John

Interesting and very concise explanation.👌🏻🙂

Excellent video!

Absolutely great video. my friend and I are going to do this.

first video ive seen where someone actually promotes paramotor flying. here in south africa... it is very limited. i would love to paramotor fly... it is my dream. you make it so seem so simple and makes me want to try this sport. maybe... one day. mahomed

I find myself increasingly reffering people to this video to introduce them to this sport. Done very well!!

Excellent video.. bro.

I'm 48 y/o and made my first flight last Sunday. I'm hooked!

beautiful video

Love it can't wait to do it

06:45 he is still running 🤣

Amazing video

Great video John!

this look awesome! :)

lol that latin man running and hopping, my first solo i felt about the same !!!!

Hey, I know this guy. Very good instructor. I should know, he was my instructor.

I am 270 lbs.. but pretty fit for a run and landing. Can the motor & kite be sized to get me up in the air?

Is zero resistance air filter quieter/same/louder than an air box?

Nice video!

Does anyone know what engine or model paramotor he is using?

Great Ambassador for the sport! Go EAA!

Very gut friend, greetings from Spain

i recognized my area right away ... fun stuff.

Please tell me if I can fly the SPICE wing as a beginner!

Great video! 6:40 best part LOL

I haven't done that in so long, I imagine the technology has gotten better

Excellent video. Loved the guy who kept running even while in the air. This type of flying has always interested me, and I live by the water. Question: I did not see any lifejackets. What do you do in the event of an engine failure out over the water? Can you easily get out of the harness so the motor doesn't drown you? Do people just plan on swimming until someone notices they went down? Thanks.

John what cost are we taljing about for a unit like the one in this video? I like the simplicity of this

Hey Mike... a 50 to 1 glide ratio means average you glide 50 feet forward and drop 1 foot.

Great video, I’m very interested in getting into powered paragliding. How easy and quick is it to get out of that harness should you experience and engine failure and are to low over the water to glide back to shore.

Perfect wind helps... I never seen a wind like it in the UK

Where is this? I want to go on one I live in ct and go to cape cod a lot and sometimes florida

Where in Florida was this recorded?

Great video. What particular glider are you using in this video?

What is the weight requirements? For tandom flying

Which paramotor is the best and safety I want to buy one What about flattop is it good and save for me coz I m new to this sport

The big question what if there is a problem big time ?? Do you have a spear shoot??? or just a lot of pain??

NICE. CANT WAIT TO BUY MINES.

you might enjoy a gimbal , it will eliminate all camera shakes, and no need anymore to stabilize clips in software and get these wobbles you have here all over.... The Z1 Rider-M is just about the strongest motored one, and super smooth .

you made it great Video greetings from germany

I want one! What a dream!

Freedom of flight makes this video an all time favorite. Do you have a paramotor to train a 230+ lb guy? Just beautiful!!

This video is one that I watched before I got into this sport and started making my own videos. Love it! Thanks :) - jdean216

Whats at 7:40?

That is pricy but I would definitely do it how good would it be for transportation in northern Michigan for recreational use and that would be fun to cruise a couple feet off the ground

I really enjoyed watching your video, thanks for sharing. I took up this sport 15 years ago. I went through the glider training but not the paramotor training. I bought a new edel confidence wing and a second hand paramotor... I think it was an F3 but can't remember the brand... unfortunately due to difficult circumstances after I used my paraglider about 3 times it stayed in it's bag and the paramotor sat in a crate for 15 years... I have finally got past a very difficult time and keen to start up again. Can anyone tell me if these wings deteriorate over time? It has been kept inside although it was dusk when I last packed it and there may have been a slight amount of moisture about... many thanks in advance.

Around 6-8k for a nice set up. I want to buy one soon.

Hmm... how much gear could you carry with you? I'm thinking remote camping / fishing trips way up north. Also, I'm already a private pilot, will this make it harder or easier for me to learn or no difference at all?

Yes, kiting the wing, over and over automatically makes a person a better pilot, I live on flatland, nearest hill is 3 hrs away, Ridge soaring is nice but if no thermals then it gets a bit boring, a motor would open up a whole new world, I could fly right at home on the farm.

Time at 7:12. I would like to know what camera was that and the settings they used. Thanks.

I live in pomona. Anybody know any beach nearby that does this and prices

whats the restrictions? can you go to any beach and take off? can you fly anywhere

Any recomends for training in SW FL.

It would be awesome to fly over an air port and see the plane take off and land up close.

thanks

cool video, I am from fort walton beach and just got my motor and glider.

What kind of engine is that

6:28 I have never laughed so much in my life ;]]]] I dunno how that wasn't a viral

excellent

I am really wanting to fly paramotors for many many years now but the fear of a collapse of the wing haunts me deeply. I can live with the risk of crashing into rocks yes but never the fear of the wing itself collapsing in midair.. that is very scary.. You know, the wing is flexible..

It doesn't look like you have a parachute in your rig like paragliders do. Do you carry one in case you have a problem with your wing?

How far can you fly on a full tank of gas?

the ture cost of the gears for foot launch is not $7000 at all.. here is the cost $5500 -- $14000 just for the paramotor ( the fan part including the harness and gas tank) {engine size and brand will dictate the price} $3000 --- 4200 for the para-glider ( the wing) $750 --- 1500 for reserve parachute.. ( emergency parachute ) $250 -- $400 for the floating device ( in case you landed in water ) $350 --- $1200 for viro-meter ( the device shows you the altitude and speed and other information) $50---$400 for the communication radio $350---- $850 for the helmet and headset $1800 --- $2600 for training

How much would one of these rigs as well as proper training cost all together

Is this guy as good as Dell Shanze??? Dell said if I don’t come to him to buy his gear and training then I will die from paramotoring?????? Is that true??? Please help

When you watch this video look for the cage with the flat top. That is the paramotor for you. FLAT TOP PARAMOTOR brand is the safest most rugged paramotor available.

time to save some money :p i must have one and ill do everything i can to get one

how much hp is the engine

i was struggling between skydiving and parasailing. i'm doing this now for sure

Flying over water that low?

What brand is the best

Yes Sir I'm from Germany did fly 🚁 helicopter way more expensive Bell 47 luking all the time instruments I guess so too like you Sir say awesome appreciate !

omg I want to do this soooooo bad I love it . and I'm not even flying lol

What's with the -50 rating?

ahhhhh.. always tell us, what sail your using, what engine, what frame, what harness (if not purchased together), tell us where you are flying... in the comments.....

Nice video. Why all the dislikes? I've never flown a PPG, but this video seemed well laid out and presented well.

1:40 yeah it's what a bird experiences, except for the deafening noise of the 2 cycle motor running at full bore 3 inches from your head. Ok it's really not that bad, but had to add that.

they say ricardo is still running to this day

that is it! WOW!!!!!
