This changed my life - Paramotoring
This is an homage to paramotoring and how it changed my life.
It taught me to adventure and say “yes” to opportunity. It taught me to play again and always play like you’re 12yo. I’ve made the best friends of my life and we do amazing things together. It’s taught me to live for myself and not my job. And then there’s just the unbridled joy of flying, seeing mind blowing things on a regular basis, driving my own personal roller coaster, and playing with my friends in the sky.
I'm truly thankful for my paramotor family. Too many names to list...you know who you are. I love you all. 💛

Aftermath of Corral Fire - Paramotor
มุมมอง 1074 หลายเดือนก่อน
Brett and I toured the damage from the recent Corral Fire just south of Tracy, CA. Mostly it was just the pasture land in the hills that was burned, but there was a vehicle storage field and a single house in a neighborhood (not in the video) that also had losses. Flight date: June 29, 2024

Mid-air Meetup - Paramotor
มุมมอง 131ปีที่แล้ว
My buddy, Caleb, was returning from his fly-camping mission over 50 miles away. I wanted to use the xcNav app on our phones to meet up with him mid-air and fly back with him on our paramotors. It worked great and was a lot of fun. This was my longest flight ever at about 2.5 hours. I started with 12 liters of fuel and landed with 2. www.xcnav.com Music: Funky Crime by Funky Fella
Escape the Fog - Paramotor
มุมมอง 200ปีที่แล้ว
We were stuck under the fog at the airport for a while. I was pretty sure it was clear elsewhere and I was sick of waiting, so I took the "scud mission" to see if I could escape the fog. Once I did, I messaged the crew to escape with me for an amazing flight. PPG: Scout Carbon One Wing: Ozone Freeride 2 19m Location: San Martin, CA to Morgan Hill, CA
Mission Mountains and Flathead Lake Montana - Paramotor

On my last day in Montana this summer, the Team Fly Halo crew took an amazing paramotor flight. We first crested the Mission Mountains with all of its alpine lakes.

A Samba Story - Paramotor - Adidas Samba
มุมมอง 128ปีที่แล้ว
I've always love my Adidas Sambas since I started wearing them in the 90's. I've probably gone through a dozen pairs since then. They get to fly with me nearly every flight, unless the weather is really cold. My buddies even recognize me in the air by those three white stripes on my shoes. Alas, this video is about the end of the journey for one pair of flying Sambas and the beginning of the jo...
Hyperlapse flight around Blackhawk Ranch - Paramotor

Making a carbon fiber seatboard for my Scout Paramotor
มุมมอง 5093 ปีที่แล้ว
I found a "cheap" 5mm carbon fiber plate within my budget, so that's why I went with it. If I had to do it again, I might go with a 3mm plate to get the weight down. But, the 3mm plate might sag a little. 5mm Carbon Fiber Plate: amzn.to/3GgyJmf Neoprene self-adhesive foam: amzn.to/3b4MHJO Disclaimer: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases

Glamis Sand Dunes - Paramotor

After all of our work was done for the week, my buddies and I went for a little celebratory sunset flight over the Glamis Sand Dunes. It was still a little too windy and bumpy to play low much, but the the lowering sun made for a beautiful landscape.

Good video
The only thing that keeps me from becoming genocidal is my wing and paramotor......
I totally get it! When I was younger I wanted an ultralight. But I find they're restrictive because of transportation and hangaring and such. Then I thought about skydiving but after trying it, I found I really enjoyed the canopy part the best. Paramotoring was it... all the fun of skydiving under the canopy, none of the hangar issues of ultralights, and no medical issues like with PPL.
That waterfall sequence was AMAZING!
Amazing !!!! 🙂
Wow , crystal clear video , looks like some of the video was shot in northern california as well as other parts of the world .
Thanks! Yep, I originally made this video to show to the San Martin (CA) pilots' association to show them what we're all about and how we operate out of that airport. So, I grabbed a lot of shots from that area, especially in the first half of the video. But, then I had an "adventure" segment from other places I've flown (SoCal, Montana, Iceland).
Absolutely amazing 👍👍
Great video Matt. Paramotoring is the BEST! Thanks again for helping me out with my carb rebuild last year when I was in town from Boise. It was great meeting you and the guys out at San Martin. It's been over a year since my wife's transplant at UCSF. She's happy, healthy, and living life again!

It truly is lifechanging. And it never gets old.
Sick sick highlight reel, how many hours of flight so far?

Who is the singer, please? Awesome!
Thanks! The song is “A Beautiful View” by Evergreen
Thank You!
Awesome!!!
Great video.... I want to go on that flight... and by the way, in my opinion, the best rendition of Wild Horses ever.
It is! This song popped up on my Spotify mix while I was putting together the clips, and I was “oooh, perfect.”
Ahh I wish I hadn’t missed this!
sweet location, nice video. Very cool.
That's beautiful landscape!
Ahh.. looks soo good! Great video, Matt
Great song choice! Was that Anderson? It's so low!
Yep. They're draining it to replace the dam. So, we get to play play play there.
Sweet 1st person wingover footy!!!
💯
great flight :)
Good stuff!
beautimus!
You make me jealous! :^) Would scare me to fly so close to someone like that.
Wow...........awesome place to fly!
Wow, very cool. Thank you
Oh man, I would totally try and fly right down the spillway and foot drag the water!!! I'm sure that's a terrible idea. I'd still wanna do it! Cool shots!
Very cool!
Dam, looks good.
Hello @mmcowan. I'm down in Watsonville. Spoke to Canyon at Team Fly Halo and looking at getting into the sport. Do you ever fly down my way? I saw you visited San Luis Reservoir. I'd love to have some flying friends if I can get the time to get my training completed. Stay safe, have fun.
Didja see us making a lap around Watsonville yesterday morning??? 😁 We flew from San Martin, over Mt Madonna, north of Watsonville, Seascape, followed the beach up to Seacliff to see the concrete ship, back down to Sunset Beach, then cut back around Pajaro, over Hecker Pass, and back to San Martin. We've got a big community in the Bay Area and I'll get you connected. DM me on Instagram @logofzero or ask Canyon for my contact info.
sooo sick!
Who's on the top?😁
My buddy, Chuck Edwall, got all of this sweet footage of me. We had an awesome, long flight down the Salton Sea coast....until my starter seized and killed my motor. 😬
Beautiful
