Paramotor Ooops!! Powered Paragliding WPPGA World Champion Smacks Flat Top Into The Ground!!!!

[socdhinds]

Any damage to the frame?

[imasuper0308]

@socdhinds No not with a Flat Top. They are seriously tuff even though it is the lightest and most powerful in the world. Fun stuff!!! We can do stuff like you see in the videos on anything other than a Flat Top or we would spend half our life just fixing broken crap. The Flat Top rocks!!!

[PPGAddict]

Dell maybe on accident but that may be the first wing tip knee drag on video on a ppg.

[imasuper0308]

Awe no it's not the first, I've done that many times lol.

[travelmoto]

I am doing round foot-drags,

in the second rounds starts to be more difficult because some times I go throu my turbulence, (and not ice in the ground to forgive).

I have been watching ALL your videos, (saw your 8 foot drags), I am watching your videos to learn from you and to improve my self. Thank you for sharing.

Your body-weight must be something like 170 pounds, right?

Which size k2 you usaly fly? 23 (m2) or 25 (m2)?

[imasuper0308]

I'm up to 30 circle foot drags in a row. There are 2 gliders I would take, the K2 or the Eris III RS. I'm 175 lbs and I fly the small K2 at 23sm or the medium Eris III RS at 22sm. For flying through your own wake the Eris III RS is going to be the best as it doesn't make much of a wake in the first place and cuts right through it anyway. Send me a video of what you are doing and I can give you some input on how to help you improve. Have fun!

Dell, could you explain what an SAT is? It doesnt look like a reg. turn... and I just can't imagine HOW this is done....to twirl around the middle axis like that ! Thanks... great recovery by the way !!! Loved it !

[imasuper0308]

In a SAT you are basically flying backwards around your glider. The glider is going one direction and your body is going the other.  It is something you should learn from master pilots at a maneuvers clinic over water with a couple reserves. Then once you get the hang of it and practice it a bunch you can start to do them anywhere. Fun stuff:).

[teampullmyfinger]

If that were in water you would be swimming! lol,Nice recovery Dell !!!

[imasuper0308]

Yes for sure lol. You can't get away with anything on water. The second you touch it just sucks you in. Snow is the most forgiving and firm sand is pretty awesome too, I've skipped off that quite a few times. The Flat Top design really allows for some amazing flying capability with very minimal risk. A guy just full stalled into the ground yesterday on a Flat Top and walked away from it. The Flat Top freaking rules!!! I can't imagine flying anything else. I seriously would quit the sport!

[travelmoto]

how does the k2 goes in wing-draging compairing to the other sky-glider you often use? which size is it? the small?

flat top rocks,!!  feels like nothing happen after crash.

[imasuper0308]

Was that you that just stalled into the ground on a Flat Top and totally walked away from it? Pretty freaking cool design huh? Crazy that most people fly around with no crumple zone at all. Yikes. The K2 just rules for this type of flying, especially the foot drags. You can see I set numerous foot drag records on it. The thing is absolutely perfect for precision flying as the stupid proof safety lets you get away with some seriously stupid stuff. Totally love the K2!!! It's my buddy!!!

[imasuper0308]

Watch my figure 8 foot drag record video. The K2 is my #1 choice for flying like that. It is just amazing. The K2 is like too good to be true until you try it. A total beginner glider with fully certified safety but so dang fun I myself as an advanced pilot choose it over every single other glider I have. I literally carry over 100 different gliders and could pick any single one of them to fly but I choose the K2 as it is seriously the very best glider I know of. It's crazy awesome!!

[yokotasaburo]

Waoo~~.Nice recovery.

[galegregory97comcast]

oh ooops lol

[Blacke30]

You really need to attempt something a bit more difficult, these simple wing tip drags are really making me yawn... :) You rock man, that is some serious skill!

[imasuper0308]

lol, this was supposed to be a wing tip and foot drag at the same time. Much trickier:).
