Powered Parachute Skydive

[parachutepilot7]

hey i have a question, my buddy wants me to take him up in my ppc and let him jump but im a little worried about dropping a load that heavy from my canopy. Did your canopy flex a lot or...... what should I expect. It may be a stupid question but it has been on my mind for a couple days since he asked me lol.

It's Illegal but who cares? I can tell you that when the jumper leans to jump you'll have to compensate by hard turning to the opposite side and when they jump you'll then turn quickly. If you are at 6,000 ft you can straighten out and cut your engine and it'll take about 5 to 7 minutes to land and your jumper will already have their chute packed up.

I skydive, and there is a guy near my house that flies one of those, and im wanting to do the same.

[sparkysmini]

awesome video

[Scrubs8581]

There are very few words in the English Language that describe how completely f***ing awesome that was. Where was that at? It looked like Kansas.

What is the forward speed on the PPC at exit?

What is the climb rate to 4000?

[airaces1]

30 mph

[paraplanebelle]

Nice video. I'm a private pilot and paraplane owner. When you start getting over 10000 ft you will need to get oxygen tank and mask.

[chutin24]

nice i have the exact same machine its a destiney 2003 i have it since 06 and i havent been able to fly because i dont know how to do it.i live in inglewood california and this video inspired me to fly

[walkerdurham]

WOW!!!! Too Much Fun...Thanks for the vid, made my day!!!!

[teeteepoo]

that was awesome

[devfuse]

hope you had a Parachute on lol, i would never go on that without one

[waterinthefuel]

Why would you want a parachute on a vehicle that already has it's deployed? Unless that chute rips apart or collapses you're much safer staying on that machine than jumping off.

[midwaycrazysponges]

whats the song?

[Rustyrunaway]

i think what i got by sublime but it sounds different

[gotitans999]

Awesome! Would you recommend someone getting a PPC in a suburban area (still flat, long terrain to take off & land) but many more obstacles. Whats your take?

Thanks,

Ryan

[airaces1]

great video I have the same machine I love it

[Quake120]

Would it be possible to get your PPC to 13k AGL? Full altitude skydive from a powered parachute!

[PhilippeDeChampaigne]

These can fly to 18,000 feet. Or so they tell me.

[partyhatpker]

those things are like flying go-karts. lol

[lawyerwebb]

Cool. That's on my list. I have # 4500 coming up soon. About the time of the Holiday Boogie at Perris. :)

[armyleegreen]

who sings that song

[BRC450]

Song by Sublime.

[andrewnielsen]

Awsome!  Music by?

[PhilippeDeChampaigne]

I think the music is by sublime.

[armyleegreen]

[faisal0077]

AWESOME VIDEO

[the1bigace]

beautiful

[geneland]

I hope I never see an angle like that! ha ha You guys are nuts! ha ha ha Did you cut your power off before he jumped? Did the cart swing much? I got a nephew that wants to jump out of mine. AWESOME VIDEO!

[razed1022]

really nice, you guys rock! Nice to see a cool PPC vid that doesnt have birds chirping and gay music.

Oh and great landing.

[rockstargamer83]

Thats awesome

[markinsacramento]

great video and like that song and the ball kick...one of the better vids on here

[merk2g2]

Thanks. The video was shot and produced by Geof Smith, the skydiver that made the jump with a helmet-cam.
