Powered Paragliding insanity with Flat Top!! Don't do this with a Paramotor!!!

[Haygan9799]

HOLY CRAP! i know ive been commenting so much on your other vid but i just had to comment on this! is this you? cuz its AMAZING!

[imasuper0308]

@Haygan9799 Ha ha! Right on! Thanks for all the great feedback on our videos! So, when are you going to come join us in the sky? Give me a call when you have some time so we can set something up: 800-707-2525

[Haygan9799]

@imasuper0308 how much for lessons? and do you have a website i could visit?

[imasuper0308]

@Haygan9799 I'll send you a personal message because I can't add a website link in a comment.

[2012listo]

Dell, you rock! We ARE buying an RV, and going cross-country, selling our handmade gourmet marshmallows (altfarms.com) and visiting our far-flung relatives, and YOU! I am so glad to find you guys. Can't wait to meet you all, and we hope you have as good of an appetite as you fly, 'cause that's how we rock! Peace, superdudes!

[imasuper0308]

@2012listo Right on! I look forward to it! 800-707-2525

[camobob3467]

SuperDell, what do you think of the Green Eagle PPG?

[imasuper0308]

@camobob3467 I talked with the guy who makes them for about an hour explaining how to fix all the issues and design problems with the Green Eagle but it is bazaar how even though they are not even real pilots they think they know how to build an aircraft better then aircraft engineers and experts. So no I definitely would not recommend the unit as they have no concept of even the basics and absolutely refuse to get any input at all from people that do know what they are doing.

[Bados14]

Safer than driving if you have good attitude, gear and experience I bet.

[imasuper0308]

@Bados14 Yes for sure gear and training have a ton to do with it. Zero people have ever died on WPPGA Certified Equipment and only 1 RedBull pilot has ever been seriously injured but even he still flies. There are lists and lists and lists of serious injuries & death on the uncertified equipment though. Be smart, stick with WPPGA Certified Equipment and training and fly with at least a little bit of common sense and you are good to go.

[FrankieEyelashes]

thats going to be me very soon .

[imasuper0308]

@miraclepieco Yes it is extremely important to get the right training and equipment. Sooooo many people are injured because they don't get the right gear. Older paramotors don't have any crumple zone under the pilots butt to absorb impact in a crash and no comfort bars out front to prevent a face plant. If you fly a Flat Top, certified glider and carry a reserve your odds of injury are very very low. Nobody has ever died on a Flat Top.

[TheDreamMechanic]

On a one-to-ten scale of awesome, this video is a fifteen.

I will own a paraglider. Oh yes...I will.

[kfotoprm]

No wonder pilots are being killed!. Good that you wern't, but only a matter of time if you keep this up. Keep safe.

[imasuper0308]

@kfotoprm Zero people have ever died on the high end equipment like this and only 2 people to date have ever been injured. All the deaths & injuries are from people that didn't get quality equipment and training.

[kfotoprm]

@imasuper0308 You mean to tell me that if your wing tip had touched the ground, (it did, but thankfully for you, not enough) you wouldn't have crashed very hard into it? No matter how high a "spec" your equipment is, or how well you've been trained, paragliding is a very dangerous sport and pushing your luck by doing these "stunts" is just asking for trouble. Sadly, I feel it will be just a matter of time before you end up in a wheel chair (for life) or, we lose you. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

[imasuper0308]

@kfotoprm I've drug my wing zillions of times and even held it on the ground for 7 full 360 circles. Yes of course you can indeed crash but with a Flat Top paramotor your safety is about 100 times better than in paragliding because of the enormous amount of crumple zone and impact absorbtion of the very specially designed frame & cage.  Yes doing crazy stunts is asking for trouble and yes you will crash if you do these enough. Currently to date though there have only been 2 injuries!!

[kfotoprm]

@imasuper0308 Well, respect to you. You obviously now what you're doing. Just don't come "unstuck" chasing a bigger thrill. A warning to anyone who looks at this "vid", do not even think of trying it, leave it to the experts and just enjoy watching it, as I do. Keep safe all.

[adanosso1]

simplesmente espetacular.

[MrJasonRichards]

you got an old one i can buy!!

[OzParkPilot]

Hi - Great Video. I`m an Experienced RC pilot with over 1000 Hours and another 500 on full size. I would really like to get a PPG. I`m concerned about low level collapse and not sure which model to buy ? Also. Is there a PPG forum or magazing I can learn from ? Thanks !

[AlextremeFromYOla]

10 лет назад я так же винговеры крутил вдоль земли ;)

[kisshooters69]

What motor and glider were used in this video?

[imasuper0308]

This is a Walkerjet RR and the Eris from Sky Paragliders. Yes and no are the answer about your Gold 130 and Windtec. Some of the manuevers are possible on your equipment but some are not. It depends. Very few of them would be recommended to even try on your equipment though because of the high soft hang points. Without the maximum stability it is really easy to get in big trouble and not be able to get out of it. So if you want to fly like SUPERDELL you should get the same gear.

[kisshooters69]

@imasuper0308 Thank you for getting back to me.

[imasuper0308]

No problem, I'm available anytime for questions. When I was coming up through the ranks there were many many advanced pilots who answered my millions of questions, now I return the favor for others. Call me anytime you have a question as getting answers from people that know what they are doing is very important part of really learning everything there is to know in this sport. It keeps ya safer. Dell 800-707-2525

[jimikestell1]

@imasuper0308 , how far can you go one one of these and is 28 hp enough to go above the clouds lol cheers.

[imasuper0308]

@jimikestell1 I set the world record at 280 miles on 4 gallons. Yes the standard Flat Top 200 will climb well over 18,000 ft so higher than any mountain in the usa.

[tek5828]

@imasuper0308 you'd need oxygen and thermal cover and such. right? What about strong winds up that high?

[imasuper0308]

@tek5828 No I didn't take oxygen. 18k isn't that bad. Very very cold though. Wind wasn't too bad. Maybe 20 mph. I was wearing jeans lol. Froze my knees. I had acrtic mittens on and still couldn't feel my fingers.

[rs200000000000]

@imasuper0308 thats incredeble well done

[fraiserfur]

at 5:56, when you let off power and have a high aoa, will your canopy collapse if you dont use brakes ?

[imasuper0308]

Yes it can but it depends on the canopy. With the new K2 auto stable and fully certified glider you can do that as hard as you want and there is no way it will collapse. So get high end equipment and you do have the very best safety in the sport.

[redhot916spd]

that is incredible to watch, makes me want to try it, I am inspired

[imasuper0308]

Oh man it is soooo dang much fun you totally have to get into it. Ya gotta get the right equipment and training though or instead of awesome it turns into a nightmare. Give me a call if you like and I can get you pointed in the right direction so you have a total blast!!! Dell 800-707-2525

[channing97]

u guys are amazing this stuff is genious

[louinolive]

the song is foot loose not born to be wild

[superjezz]

there is two songs buddy

[bcsupport]

the second song in the video is born to be wild.

[jeyson4f]

very very good.....keep flying

[JustParaglide]

video editing lol wait till u see mine then i just threw it together! GOOOD SONG! NICE Flying buddy

[gsifly]

Nice flying. Video could do with editing, and new music!

[birddoggarton]

Now come on. I loved the 80's.

GOOD TIMES !

[skyjumper077]

I noticed your website mentions powered skydiving.....there is nothing about PPG that involves free falling....unless, you have a 3 ring release system and a reserve hooked up. LOL I would love to see that cut-away and reserve deployment!

[DouglasNorlean]

Woooow, I'll try that next weekend!

[japtoon33]

Great stuff. Crappy music. Really crappy.

[cooperlovessoccer]

He is going to die...soon!

[cybrcnc]

Dells nuts, but he's got the skills to back up his craziness, and he's put in hours and hours of practise. All you have to do is look at how well the canopy stays positively inflated at all times. His canopy control is superb.

[flyingboat4U]

He's a nut and pisses everyone off but most of the time his fault is that he flies better than anyone. Envy kills harder than advanced manouvering. He flies only the best gliders and spends most of his time on the ground keeping his equipment always in top condition.

[olivierbeudin]

Which glider is that, it looks quite advanced.

[imasuper0308]

That is the Eris from Sky Paragliders. Yes it is their most advanced competition glider and probably my favorite gliders I've ever flown. It rules!! Perfect feel, handling, really efficient, safe... That is one seriously nice glider.

[sedge4427]

You are well mad... But I like it.

[andylek]

practice makes master

[aussiefirestorm]

mate that is truely awesome flying , how long have you been flying those things?

[LaurenTurtles]

-SKILL-

[himumimatschool]

my dad fly's paramoters im 12 and starting now

his friend died recently though from spiraling too low

and hitting the gound :(

[imasuper0308]

The guy that died was likely flying an uncertified glider without proper instruction and didn't have the proper crumple zone below him. There is a lot of crap on the market. Nobody has ever died or been really seriously injured on the PPG design I'm flying in this video. Have him call me immediately at 801-631-1731 and perhaps I can save his life before he gets hooked up with the wrong people.

[jetkrazee]

Awesome!

[imasuper0308]

No he actually died when his body hit the ground. As you can see this pilot lived:)... For now...

[Frederickpou]

that's cool

[Quik912]

Just fly, feel the air...

[nzer57]

My kinda guy... go for it mate!!

[theboldman]

I have 2 years PPG experience and wish some day would do like that... GREAT!

[mrcaptainsir]

Nice Dell..........................­.but yes I am going to try it lol.  John

[11yossi11]

lolz

[Bizwix]

This dude has huge balls!

[joejumps4fun]

INSANE!! Obviously this guy has some experience with freeflight paragliding. A typical PPG pilot would not attempt these maneuvers.

[unknown124]

Hehe, yea If I was a paraglider I wouldn't want to risk doing that :D, he has skillz :D

[eweinert]

some free advice, do NOT lend Dell your paramotor, cause he doesn't know how to fly anyother way.

[paramot]

ROCK'N ROLL ;-)

[paramotor]

i like ur display name =]
