      Shut-up Jon , I called first dibs on the equipement lol . I've never paraglided in my life , but watching this video makes it look so addictive , NOTHING blocks your great views , and it is the cheapest way of flying

    10 reasons why not to watch this video
    1. Title is a lie, total click bait
    2. I now want a paramotor more than food
    3. After watching his video all i can do is watch more paramotor videos
    4. I am now wasting all my time researching how to get into this sport
    5. My wife is annoyed with me for constantly watching TH-cam videos
    6. I want to spend all my money on my paramotor rather than my kids
    7. My new future hobby will be para-camping instead of just camping
    8. My friends all give me a weird look i tell them what I want to do
    9. I had to re write my bucket list
    10. I had to subscribe to Fly-guy alberta
    Awesome video

      hostessman I really don't get it! I feel the exact same way, but every friend looks at me like I'm nuts. My girlfriend is sick of me mentioning it. I've had to bite my tongue when wanting talk about it. Just yesterday she said "what a beautiful sky" and I replied "we could be up there right this moment!" She rolled her eyes something fierce. Really? Tell me, what's your hobby? Oh. You like to watch chickflix on Netflix? Wow! Excuse me for being fucking excited for flight! We are the sane ones, the ones who laugh, they'll always be on the ground!!! Pshhh

    Just about a year ago I saw my first paramotor video on youtube, from Tucker Gott. Over the next couple months it was all I could think about, and I knew I was probably gonna get into this sport I couldnt afford. I saw this video floating around in my recommended videos, and really didnt want to break the spell and watch it - particularly because Im a fellow Albertan. I finally bit the bullet and watched the video and that was all she wrote for me, reached out and got into contact with Air Adventure. Finished my 9th flight a couple days ago, due to in large part this video

What's wrong with expanding your horizon might make you feel more closer to the creator of things or release some tension or add mo kool point on your status. Beats shooting dope or ruining your life.

    Greetings from west Edmonton! I just stumbled onto your youtube channel and have subscribed immediately. I came here via Tucker Gott's channel and expect equivalent entertainment value from you also. No, I would never ever fly a paramotor because I'm too afraid of heights and I'm also too old to try it. It's so good to find a youtube channel owned by an Albertan paramotor pilot. Thank you.

    Well... Recently my band fell apart. I've been looking for my next little hobbie I could sink my teeth into.
    I've got a friend that's currently pursuing this..
    I clicked on this video to hopefully help me talk myself out the idea of flying about all over place(also an idea the missis hates)
    Well annoyingly this turns out to be clickbait !!

    and btw the heat here in the Philippines is averagely by 30 so if I want to go paragliding in my home country 2 layers of clothes or maybe just 1 layer should be enough cause if your higher than the sea level the cold air is satisfyingly enjoyable in the Philippines

    After getting a private license 30 years ago I was so addicted I went all the way through Commercial/Instrument/CFI. Then, not satisfied I started hang gliding. I was dumfounded when I learned that most other people had no desire to join me in the sky. That's OK, there are plenty of people who DO get it and they make a great group of friends!

    I'm already aware that the fatality rate is quite low, however, I'm still curious as to how those few fatalities that happen do takes place. Are they due to overly risky maneuvers and/or due to flying into unsafe terrain?
    Basically, can you guarantee safety even if the motor shuts off (as it only appears to be needed for gaining altitude) as long as you don't fly into a forest or into a mountain range or something like that?

    • @blastfromthepast7119
