Paragliding Dust Devil

[jasonleechtube]

Would liked to have seen the view directly overhead, looking down the funnel.

[peanutlickers123]

Amazing view man :-)

[fk2626]

phiii ...only firee

[fk2626]

phiii ...only firee

[crazyskyaustria]

nice soft helmet the same as the hard once - they keep only the ears warm ;-}

better to meet the dusty high above and not on launch!

[connorbolander]

what's a helmet going to do?

[jeepcj7dude]

Very cool!!!



[smithyboi6]

*drops pole*

[JanPBtest]

It's funny how continents look different. This is obviously America as its land is always cut up into a grid. Nice video BTW, much better than the usual helmet-cam which typically consists of 95% camera shake.

[zakyzeek]

@JanPBtest uhh, dipshit, does that mean that land in asia is always cut up into circles? THERE IS LIFE BEYOND THE STATES.

[JanPBtest]

@zakyzeek Don't know about Asia as I know mostly Europe and America. Europe practically never uses grids, America practically always, so the look from the air is totally different. The landscape shown on the video AFAICT does not exist anywhere in Europe, hence my comment. I didn't mean it to be anything deep you know...

[zakyzeek]

@JanPBtest than what other form besides a grid. also, i appreciate you keeping cool.

[DrzLoko08]

Thumbs up if you thought he was actually going to go INSIDE of the dustdevil

[IshowFUNNYvids]

i wonder if he let go of the camera...

[flightoftheunknown]

Why does everything on youtube have to be a goddamned fucking music video?

[crustyeyegoop]

that's pretty cool. how safe is that compared to parachuting. the dust devil was a gem to come across while video taping.

[igmz777]

30 people inhaled too much sand.

[wristp1n]

that harness looks comfy. 

[Jatt1998]

ITS NOT EVEN A FUKIN HELMET ITS A BINI

[rrr1sportrider]

This song is gay and kife.

[NuclearShockwave2000]

Me looooove this song

[todoxe]

what an idiot!!!! and the helmet???? stupid

[masonberg]

wow i would freak out being in one of those but awesome view

[pghbowlchampson]

the country really looks like that......wow

[Hickeydog2365]

This song needs to die a horrible, painful death.

[HVYMETL]

I have a cousin who has a room mate who knows this guy who's brother died paragliding.

[uGotKicked]

@HVYMETL

my grandmothers father is the cousin of my mom

[JB6636]

lol i wouldve gone into the dust devil when i was getting close to the ground to get sucked back up again

[achurban]

holding handles???!

[drummerdude0017]

awesome man.. this kind of thing is why I'm dying to continue with paragliding.. only 600 euros to go.. damn it

[morningstomper123]

I want one.

[levihollis]

i want to do paragliding

[philflieger]

Argh! Never want to get close to something like that!

[gfdkgkj]

i could see my house from here!

[commandro]

fly through it you might win altitude!

[MrTom423]

@commandro or you might go through a full deflation of the wing, Now that would be a ride....

[Dvoracekmara]

Wow! Super capture!!!

[sugarbag3]

Great video mate and the music is good too

[TheWorldcup1234]

wwwwoooooowww! you can see the dust devil very high from that hight?!

[NarleyDude07]

that was fantastic !!

[Buckbigchaves]

tava alto hein? tem para-quedas?

[robertgift]

Wish we could see more. Why only 34 seconds?

[TheVladomo]

where is your helmet?

[jesse2006]

hey where is the end of this??? it stops before the action :(

[TeslaTrack]

DUDE!!! Wait! That was Olympian. Above a dust devil like that? Dang. I now have another experience to add to my bucket list.

#227 - Paraglide over a dust devil / whirlpool or tornado on a sunny day.

[DigitalFootPrint]

helmet??!

[xXxdaguitarfreakxXx]

@DigitalFootPrint dude are you joking lol

[phsycoinvader]

@DigitalFootPrint what would a helmet do if he fell...? lol

[bradlyw420]

@DigitalFootPrint Dont think it would do him any good if he decided to fall at 8 thousand feet...

[DigitalFootPrint]

@bradlyw420

Its not a fall from 8 thousand would kill him, thats not why you wear a helmet. You wear helmet, to protect your head from drags on launch, low level collapse, and bad landings. They do save life's.

[DigitalFootPrint]

@bradlyw420 Its not a fall from 8 thousand foot that the helmet is used to guard against, pilot prowess or a reserve is used for that. A helmet should always be worn to protect against drags on launch, low level collapses or bad landings. Helmets save life's!! If you can afford a paraglider you can afford a HELMET

[MontyPythonLvr]

@DigitalFootPrint doesn't need one

[komakino666]

@DigitalFootPrint whats the point if he fell from that height a helmet aint gonna do shit

[cheshirepat30]

@komakino666 When I went skydiving, we had to wear a helmet. The explanation was that it protected you during rough landings, not complete freefall.

[isays]

@DigitalFootPrint sure, why not? accidents happen. IMHO not wearing a helmet in extreme sports just makes you look like a noob who hasn't had anything bad happen yet.

[Theblackampithere]

lol its just, there. i think thats kinda funny

for some reason

[skyrinrainer]

nice helmet :-(

[Hang1forEver]

at least the music's aptly titled for a PG video.

[andyp412]

Anyone who thinks rthey couldn't do this for a fear of heights should try a tandem flight ...I can't climb a ladder to save my life but love running into the air on my PPG and hang gliding ...it's weird but you should try it.

[aquaslick]

PPG= power puff girl?

:O You torture power puffs.

[destroyer33196]

that was pretty cool.and that guys lucky i love bieng in the air like that hanging for my life

[JamminJenn420]

Pretty cool dust devil down there..... is paragliding fun? My feet stay on the ground though... I'm afraid of heights lol...

[halfawake454]

same here. I'd like to try some of these high flying things, this, skydiving, but i'm a wimp with heights. I should try to get over that fear :P

[JamminJenn420]

Yup me 2 lol.... But I'd love to go up there and see the view it would be just awesome! If I wouldn't be throwing up on the way down I'd say I'd have a blast lmao... but who's to say maybe I would enjoy it. But thats just wishful thinking lol....

[CDBigShow]

lol me too

[JamminJenn420]

lol.. I really want to go paragliding or parasailing or hangliding! I think it would be crazy.... but I'm afraid of heights so I wouldn't be able to go up high maybe 20 ft. lol.....

[TobianoPaint]

same i cant even climb on a jungle gym at the park without getting nervous. its sad really.

[JamminJenn420]

lol yup! I'm at least not as bad as my mom is though even just crossing a bridge over water she freaks out and says she feels dizzy.

[TobianoPaint]

oh i feel bad for your mom! no one in my family is afraid of hieghts : /

[viper19861986]

Paralyzer by finger 11....

[ParaglidingManiac]

[Cslacko]

Nice video!! Love the music, but

you better replace the music with some copyright free stuff. I learned the hard way. No worries on the helmet.

[Tobulle]

[MrDing999]

Paralyzer so much for no words like paralyzed

[hardmanmark69]

[Tripleh101]

[DrewDawg50]

[dimitarlazar]

[vidoman12]

goligina toge decedkeater

[tincholimonada]

[geniennis]

[Hiatsu2k7]

WOW That is so cool looking!

[BayronMontero]

[belgicasken]

[browntrousersmoment]

There is nothing better than flying Chelan flats without a helmet and green stick in your hand,awesome dude!

[Segagensis66]

The green stick is the camera, dude lmao

[GreenEyedGhostGirl]

FLY INTO IT!!!

[sts70004]

Get a wicked lift at the top of it lol

[theobvious87]

fricken amazing view. its cool to see that from something other than the cliche ground-only view.

[airparamotores]

Great!!!! excelent images. And what happened after??..you saved your camera system faster and?...haha :)

[tommytipitcup]

I dont think you would have been able to prize my fingers off the brakes. Great clip though.

[drifter503]

Truly awesome

[stuscolnik]

so much for 'active' piloting!

[dooragsasuke]

oooooo i see it now lol

[browntrousersmoment]

The green stick rocks.

[nat2102]

is that the dust devil in 00:12?

[Tomeis93]

That's an amazing piece of footage right there.

[supergirl13k]

lol

can you imagin what it was like to see a dust devil frm that high up

[TradesOfJack]

dude u got some balls, I can barley jump off a 50 ft diving board lol

[cheesewhiz13]

Being barely able to jump off a 50 ft diving board takes ALOT more balls than paragliding

[matt33311]

that must be veary long to see hes at

[SplitPhase]

The green stick is way cool, and no helmet is just as fun. Great video :)

[D4nneee]

the green stick is a camera

[TherealGwaihir]

Rad vid! You've got balls to fly hands off in that air (with that monster in front of you!!) & no helmet!! I'll bet you've got a carton of smokes where your reserve should be! Filterless no less!!

[RafiPPG]

very goog

[xxdamonxx77]

You had a nice view of the dust devil!!! Thanks for the video!

[BinaDog]

Where is your helmet? But its an interisting video!

[Xtermination100]

*whistling* WERE GOIN DOWN XD

jk (that was awesome footage)

[youcantleaveDave]

fuck yea, helmets are for pussies

[ilio02]

I would  keep my hands firmly on the brakes before some major collapse happens...

[peanutbuttersly]

Good stuff.

[directorinthechair]

If you went into it even the non-visible dust area where it was you would it would blow you about.

[chestybond]

I'm surprised none of the wuffos haven't asked about your lack of head protection.

[mattjohnson00]

Yarn helmet!

Nice clip! I had a similar experience with water spouts and Lake michigan.

[Cchrisbud813]

Cool. What happened at the end with the loud whistling and the sudden stop?

[manmachine30]

dude !!! what are u holding on??? That green stick ????!

[Cchrisbud813]

It seems to be a control for the camera.

[skyhyidiot]

cool clip!
