hey i just got one question,,,Im 15 years old and i just wanted to know how old do you have to be to fly one of those things cause my dad said he will buy me one

There is no minimum age, I know of a 9 year old girl that flies paramotors (the things you see at the end of this video where the people have the engine on their back and they are playing with a ball between their feet.) The beauty of those is they are very safe, they fit in a SMALL car, and are cheaper than the hang glider style the other guys in this video fly. The hang glider style takes at least a trailer and some storage space or some place to put it when not flying.

Although I think PPG is the ultimate way to fly, I must admit I am a little envious of the distance those hang glider trikes can cover!

Excellent video, music and editing. Props to you!

PPG for Morons

Thanks Moron! :-) I get a kick out of your videos and a few ideas as well. I must remember on our next trip to do something like that... I know the amount of work that goes into these 'little' videos, so kudos to you all.

Thanks again.

Hey, I'm from Oregon too! Hey I was wondering if you guys installed any parachutes on your trikes. I'm 14 years old and got my solo gliders pilots license, but just wanted to know if you guys used parachutes. Thanks,Brad

Hey diggyj, yes we have ballastic parachutes on our trikes in case of something bad happening. At 0.25 you can see one under the gas tank between the back wheels. One thing to weigh up, is that they may be just as much a liability as they are an asset to you. But that is another discussion! In the air, is good to know it's there. Close to, and when on the ground ... mmm.. they make you worry..
