This is breathtaking. Brought me to tears. You guys have experienced a feeling that very few humans get to feel. Im envious. How do you even get into this?
How do they still lift when they're SIDEWAYS?!? I keep expecting you guys to drop .... like the wedding party crashers vid ... how the heck did you loop them TWICE in a circle that tight without losing altitude???
When you're flying in someone's wake, in skydiving I know to stay on level or below someone's canopy, but in paramotoring what are you thinking about to prevent collapse?
@@MitchG - lol, your helmet reminds me of a TIE Fighter pilot. There were some moments in your vid where you were racing past a motorbike on the ground. Can you really go faster than a motorbike in your PPG? I thought they only go 30mph max.
@@MitchG - wow - that's game changing. I read about some newer lighter XC wing called Sirocco 3 by Ozone - any idea how that compares? I've heard various people say lighter is better, so I'm wondering what your opinion is?
@@manofsan I own the sirocco 3 and it's an amazing wing!!! I don't fly at the level of Mitch but it inspires a lot of confidence and handles like a dream.
I'm looking at this sport pretty seriously. What is up with your chute controls? It appears you have a control that allows you to gain more lift while turning? Is that what's happening? Or is it just from adding throttle in turns?
My flying machine will be here end of September, training in 30 days, Thanks for the video, new sub, can’t wait to watch more. Your flying is spectacular! Hoping to eventually duplicate it. So awesome!!
Dipping into those dune bowls from one to the next and the next at 3:30, bad to the bone. Good seeing Airfoil in the mix too. Sure looks like fun. Get some!
Hi Mitch. I'm curious about your helmet. How happy are you using it? Is it good for paramotor (PPG) and/or paragliding (free flight)? What are pros and cons. Would you recommend it for long flights? What's visibility, weight, comfort etc.? I mostly fly cross country paragliders. I'm also getting into PPG.
Honestly it's not ideal because there are to many snag points to grab lines and the built in comm system doesn't work with hand held radios available on the market. The things I love about it are the dual visor so I can switch to clear visor after sunset and the ear protection is excellent. I would never use it for pg flying, only ppg. There are cheaper helmets that accomplish the same things.
Hi Mitch, This is one of your best posts. The filming was great and I thought the music was a great choice, aspecialy near the end when you were lined up with that long bit of sandy road with the setting sun at the far end of it and the lyrics synkt with image perfectly while singing, " This is what I live for!" Well done if you deliberately edited that way. :) While I'm here, i'v been meaning to ask you about your use of your Speed Bar while you negotiate all of those nifty manoeuvres. In all the vids i'v seen about Speed Bar use, they always point out that if you're using it, you mustn't use your steering as it is to Dangerous and is very likely to cause an accident, such as a Catastrophic low altitude Collapse. Are they all just being a bit over zealous? Would like to hear your feedback on the issue. Thanks,. DON P.S. What was that Great music? Anyone?
If you are on bar, you can only use the tip steering. In steep turns I release the bar and then use main brakes. Once I begin to level off, I'm back on the bar. Main brakes at full speed can cause collapse so you must not make that mistake at low altitude. th-cam.com/video/dKXQxw6T1kk/w-d-xo.html
Good pics, sound track a bit repetitive, overall I enjoyed it. One criticism, I’m a bit of a tech nut, I like to know: the motor, the prop, the frame, the harness, the canopy/wing and size.
Hey Mitch, another awesome video. Am I correct in noticing your DriftAir tip steering is tied in to your brakes, 2D style? Do you like it better that way? I thought about doing the same on my Universal and Spyder3.
Yeah the drift comes with 2d steering. I have custom warp toggles on this wing though. I tie the lines into the bottom corners of the handles for better control
Hi Mitch, epic vid as always! Question about the Universal1.1... do you find the ALC+ lines slower to intiate turns than the TEA lines (that connect to stabilio)? Dudek manual says use either with trims open. TEA/stabilio lines feel way faster, "power assisted" and more precise to me
How do you get the behind the head shots? I'd guess attaching to the hoop would be influenced by vibration and be subject to line snags. Maybe a selfy stick jammed in your harness somehow? The shots look great though!
@@MitchG Assumed there would always be a little vibration influence. Considered doing this myself or even setting up the local instructor with a wireless samara and FPV goggles used in drones to give him a direct view from behind a student. I may have to experiment with mounting on my own hoop, maybe 3D print something with a TPU interface to adsorb some vibration. Anyhow, kind of loved the video, never flown in the desert myself but will have to put it on my bucket list.

Man, that dune hopping segment, love it Your flying is inspiring, cheers
Yeah that was sick
This is breathtaking. Brought me to tears. You guys have experienced a feeling that very few humans get to feel. Im envious. How do you even get into this?
Find a training school near you and go for a tandem and if you like it do the training and buy a motor and wing!
Mate, as always, your footage is inspirational!!! Great music choice as well and the ending is really cool. Well done and thank you for sharing.
I was going to say the same. Killer song... great footage... talented flying, he's got it all!
Is that Oregon? It looks a lot like the Christmas Valley Dunes.
I was thinking the same thing. My vantage point was always from the ground though.
Is this Christmas Valley in Oregon? If not it looks a lot like it.
Sick! Love my new dfirty boi. Keep killing it man!
Man, this looks like an adrenaline junkies dream! Sweet vid!! Would never have thought those things were that maneuverable.😎👍🏻
Wow... impressive flying brother!
Cage mount view was absolutely sick Mitch. That was definitely a rad rip.
How do they still lift when they're SIDEWAYS?!? I keep expecting you guys to drop .... like the wedding party crashers vid ... how the heck did you loop them TWICE in a circle that tight without losing altitude???
What helmet do you use?

When I watch one of you videos it makes me want to go fly immediately, keep having fun, gotta go fly now :)
Very cool video, perfect music. Now that songs stuck in my head lol.
FFS TH-cam, this is Graffiti Ghosts - This is What I Live For, NOT Kid Bloom - Like I Never Left. Not even remotely close...
Just discovered your channel today. Sorry if these are ignorant questions. Did you sell your Mosquito Air? Why? Is PPG a lot more enjoyable? Safer?
Love it fly baby fly. This what I live for
Damn bro, so fast and so low, more balls than I have. 👌
This video is probably the reason I ended up Demoing a Driftair and subsequently ordered one for myself 🤙.
This video never gets old, when mates ask me about paramotoring I send them this vid -
I always get a reply with “that’s awesome”
Hey Mitch - I’ve got a few questions with the nucleon XX I’m flying
How’s best to contact you, if you don’t mind offering some advice
music sucks but thats some great flying and that place looks amazing where is it? its like a giant playground, also cool helmet
Now that’s a paramotor playground!
I’ve watch it twenty times….getting ready to be twenty one. 🤘🏻👍🏻
amazing video, I'm sharing this on my page, Just love to see how your speed bar and riser action correlates with how your flying,
Thank you!

@@manofsan this wing goes 45mph. That's tough for a motorbike to do that speed in deep sand. My warp could do 50mph

My luck i would find the only cactus and accidentally drag my azz on it.
Great marketing for paramotoring! Love it
Wow. Awesome video. That dune pass through was epic!!
Sweet video Mitch. How hav you mounted the camera without getting motor fuzz as it’s crisp as 🤬 cheers for sharing
The key is, I don't use Eprops😉 that's how smooth a helix prop is at higher rpm
so true great clear fast imagery
That was awesome.
Great video. Keep flying!
Awesome video man, definitely loved it. Hope to see some from Korea soon!
Mitch! have you considered carrying a passenger? Like a business. Charging for rides?
I have. But not ready to do that yet
love it man. gets me pumped to go fly tomarrow before work.
WOW. BEST PARAMOTOR VIDEO :)
saw those vids of the wing collapsing, yikes! still thinking about it, has to be pretty safe if you wait for calm sunset conditions.
It's worth the risk. Just gotta fly at the right time
I aspire to this level of skill as a pilot
Are you at red sands in EPTX
Now that's a cool video ....
Yeah buddy.................

Don't be in too much of a rush to duplicate that low acro. Enjoy the journey too! Hope your training is/will/did go well!
Best Paramotor video 👍
You bloody show off! ;o) Mitch, what do you film your flights with please? It’s bloody fantastic.
Outstanding video!
Pretty nasty flying.
That was so f'N metal
Sick! In a good way!
Good one! Keeping busy in quarantine? Weather here still sucks. I'm slowly editing my A4 unboxing and 1st flights video.
We miss you, man.
Are you in AZ?
Dipping into those dune bowls from one to the next and the next at 3:30, bad to the bone. Good seeing Airfoil in the mix too. Sure looks like fun. Get some!
Niiiiiice!
Wow mate.
Awesome!!!🙂👍
Your choice of headgear is awesome....
@@rudolfb2179 thank you
Sweet
See you found a good flying buddy. CA🤟🏻😎🙏🏻
Sweet video! You the man, Mitch 👊
You the man!
Way way beyond my skill / comfort level but great flying and vid.
Camera mounted on cage? Awsome angle!
Thanks
Awesome bro I wish I was at redsands to see you bike and race you one my dirt bike 🔥🚀
cool video’ music real works well with imagery

Magnifique,
merci beaucoup l'Ami !
Nice ending shot! --- sunset at the end of the road.

Sick vid Mitch!!! What camera is mounted to your cage? GoPro?
Hero session
Awesome! Needed that ride. Thank you.
I haven’t flown since leaving the army in’12. Now you got me looking at getting back into flying. Thx keep it up!!
I've flown all types of aircraft. Nothing beats the convience, low operating cost and safety of a paramotor
So sick man! How would you rate the DriftAir? It’s on my watch list for my next wing. It looks super agile and fast 💨
Love it. Perfect balance of safety and performance. It's a daily driveable sports car where the warp is a full blown race car
Sweet Camera angles Mitch!
Great one Mitch.
Good stuff brother. Wish I could handle the G’s better. Started getting into some decent wing overs and the G’s were kicking my ass.
fly on an empty stomach

I always used the tea lines. Much simpler and effective!

Gopro on the hoop. Need a smooth balanced prop. Not an E prop

Sehr geil. Danke!

Freakin awesome man!
Nice tip touch. Just the tip just to see how it feels lol
