Super helpful to hear the feedback on so many different take offs in so many different conditions. Hopefully, you guys do another one like this on landings. Much love to the Aviator Family!
Great video! 🤩 Just a comment about Eric's launch around the one hour mark, he didn't have the brakes in the wrong hands, he inflated the wing using just the A-lines and tugging the back lines to check it and keep control, then only grabbed the brakes as he turned around. It's something you can practice when kiting, controlling with just the individual lines, sort of a free flight thing which gets you better at reading the wing and more instinctively knowing what controls what (or getting used to controlling the wing with the harness alone). Good for building instinctive reactions for emergencies. I recomend always using gloves when handling the lines, though... line burn, especially from unsheathed lines, hurts. Ask me how I know 😅
This video is GREAT!!! It's really beneficial to see so many launches "back to back", while knowing the conditions and hearing the critiques. It'll definitely help to make me better aware of (and to watch out for) some of the bad habits that we might have picked up over the years. Thanks for yet another very helpful video, and for continuing to assist our community to fly better and safer. Will we get to see "Our Instructors Review 100 Paramotor LANDINGS"? Hope so, and thanks again for a TERRIFIC vid!
Great tips guys, I feel I really got lucky having Gillian as an instructor. I lfeel ike it stepped up my flying game from day one. And Jake I think my Jesus arms may have gone away. For the first six months of flying, as I would go into the sky, I would yell only one man flies, like Jesus and it ain’t meeeee.
Great video. Very helpful for me as a semi beginner pilot. I really like the way you two explain things in a serious and professional but also fun to watch way.
This so good! I have 90 launches (30 during professional training and 60 solo) so not an absolute beginner but a long way from 'experienced'. Super helpful to see all this, to see if I can pick what's right and wrong and then hear the instructors' comments. Thanks a lot! (subscribed)
Would love to see this with landings now. Trying to learn how to make motor adjustments low before flare for spot landings but not sure how it affects flare authority
Brilliant stuff. Could you guys do one on basic level Active Flying for beginners/intermediate? ie WHY you may need to do it, to recognise WHEN you need to do it and HOWyou do it. Often talked about but not much out there so having some idea of basics would be comforting - just in case you get caught out one day. Thanks guys - all the best👍
I always fly with gloves, I even ground handle with gloves. In summer I have a left and a right golf glove very thin. In winter I may change to a thicker glove once in the air. WHY? Sometimes you end up with the lines in your hands they can injure you. And as one of the guys in the video says, he starts folk off with gloves so that they get used to it.
1:01:45 That wasn't a "jump in the seat" like an anxious student trying to get off the ground too early. Because of the high wind he had good lift well before he picked up his feet. You can tell the difference because when a pilot jumps, they will sink before the climb... or landing.
instructors make mistakes. no one is perfect. "live and learn or learn and live.". forward launch? 1/set wing in the direction of the wind. 2/Build a wall first to double-check the level wall of the wing means the correct direction into the wind.. set the wing for forward launch. into a horseshoe. these launches.. the wing is not set up properly?.watch the wings come up and they're not level. There's the problem.. . and keep in mind the instructors are instructing the students what to do .on launches.
Suuuuper useful, thanks!
Thank you Jack and Gillian.

I second that request for one on landings!!
Jill's smile is priceless. Maybe the 2nd cutest paramotor chick in Fl. Right after Kaleigh.
I’d love to see a LANDING one of these! 🤙 great video guys,
Us too! Hoping to get it out early next month.

Good show. Can't wait for the next one.
Ребята, спасибо. У вас лучший канал по парамоторам.
1:01:55 to 1:02:20 is a beautiful shot! Nicely done!
You two are so helpful. 😊
Just what I needed... Thank you so much.

I watched the whole 100 over a few weeks. Helped to reinforce points from my training & picked up on a few new tips. Thanks

ASMR for paramotoring pilots!
Great stuff, when is the landing video? 😂
Soon!
is that the same dude that crashed twice?!
takeoff is easy. landing: that’s hard.
🎉🎉❤
Ни чего не понятно но очень интересно)
Hi
All things paramotor 🤷♂️ ok 95% and 5% BASE jumping
