I wish I learned to fly with you guys. I don’t think you were established when I had learn to fly regardless, flying is awesome and you guys are doing a great job.
I trained with Backcountry last year. During my training and first flights I was nervous but felt prepared. I never felt unsafe. They have you repeat critical tasks again and again until it is muscle memory. I love flying and get to confidently because of backcountry PPG!
This is great. Amazing video on some of the basic training. I remember my instructor making me land next to him and continue kiting while he asked me how my flight went --- then he was like "this is a touch and go --- when you are ready, take off again"
hi trevor. iam a paramotor pilot. and I do not do enough kiting with my wing. no matter how experienced a pilot can be .kiteing is... kite the wing don't let the wing kite you. good video Thumbs up. Oh... pilot and wing become bonded. as one.
Awesome video! I’m sharing this with friends interested in getting into the sport. Have you all considered getting a winch tow or hitting the south side for some sled runs prior to first flights? The feeling of flare timing can be so unfamiliar when you’re brand new, and I feel like winch towing helped me a lot.
I have mixed feelings about towing and have had poor experiences in the past. I don’t prefer it and have had several conversations with instructors who do tow, and they don’t think it adds any real value to the training experience from a skills standpoint. But finding a bunny hill to run off is not a terrible idea!
Hi . Firstly thanks for all the videos. I just wondered what you have found to be the best throttle to use? I have the std pap one.. i tend to find my throttle hand a bit busy and hard to park the brake smoothly.. do you have the brake handle round all 4 fingers? Any advice would be appreciated.
Learning how to fly from Background PPG was the best decision I've ever made. You won't regret it!
@@Team.Louish thank you Clint!!
You guys do an awesome job - and what a beautiful place to learn to fly!
If I ever make my way out there, I'd love to stop by and fly with you all!
Man! Makes me want to learn how to fly all over again! Great summary of the training!

Dang, I miss you guys! This school was the highlight of my year.

@@davebutcher701 off grid throttle is my preferred throttle!
@@TrevorSteele1 thanks I'll get an off grid.... do you put your brake round all 4 fingers?
instead of "a inside look" it should be "an inside look"
not trying to sound like a grammer nazi but you might want to correct the title lol
@@Michael-xz8tp huh?
Great Video, Planning on coming to Fl anytime soon? Would sure like to have a chat with the 1 and only Trevor Steele.
