Thank you for your kind words! Where are you based Dave? Are you interested in joining us for some training? If so, please email us on info@skyschooluk.com
@@jamesworth378 thats funny. I actually trained with superdell. Hes actually a good guy who really cares about the safety of his students. But hes really really into kiting and wing control. I spent so much of the training session kiting that i didnt get to learn other key skills. I like that this follows a clear curriculum and covers some of the things i didnt get to do.
@@SkySchool I think it's amazing what you do,, love it, could I ask a question?, on a paramotor,, could you fly one from Wales, too ireland, its about 300 miles, including the Irish sea?.
Same here: but dont let Tucker fool you, swear that kid is part bird. His mum is a commercial hot air balloonist. his dad is a pilot and the kid learned to fly a fixed wing aircraft at aged 16.
This last 2 years have been very difficult for everyone.....i have done some paragliding training in Brazil and i am hoping to finish it in December. I have not given up the PPG dream...please keep me updated of future training....I hope to meet you all one day
As far as needing a license: you don't need any sort of license right now to fly a paramotor, but training is definitely a must have. To fly with someone else tandem, or to fly the 2 person trikes, you need a Light Sport Aircraft license.
That maybe true I'm not sure but I wouldn't want to fly something without training I have seen many videos where the wing screws up so I would prefer training to death
Alex nice and passioned illustration and excellent concept not missing out … if i would not have made my lizenz i would try to book it at some of your school ! Rg Bernd
I would love to learn paramotoring and been wanting to do it for a long time sadly funds will always be a problem and that that’s why I think a lot of people try and teach them selfs through you tube. Which is ludicrous.
Great video guys well done, from a person looking to learn and just looking at everything on youtube. On the other side of the globe so a bit far to travel haha.
Been looking at coming to your school maybe next year if possible, i was under the impression you dont need any form of official license to use a paramotor?
The 12 day course costs £1295 in Spain and Italy. This includes all kit, fuel and log books. UK courses are a bit more but are fully booked. For dates email us on info@skyschooluk.com or visit www.skyschooluk.com
Sadly the UK climate makes it very difficult for us to run intensive courses. We therefore suggest to all of our students that they complete their training with us overseas in order to do a lot more flying in much more consistent weather conditions than the UK.
@Phil Yermummin we offer accommodation to our students for convenience due to its location being so close to our training site. It is also a fantastic atmosphere at the end of a full day of flying, swapping stories over dinner! Our students are welcome to stay wherever they like.
Andy C we only run courses in Wiltshire in the U.K. and only in July and August due to the weather. Italy or Spain are much better training locations due to more consistent weather. Get in touch via www.skyschooluk.com for further info
@ElectricRemi: Not sure what you're commenting about. My reply was directed at Phil Yermummin who doesn't seem to have his comment posted anymore. It had nothing to do with licenses. I think it was about incomplete training and going on to learning the rest in the school of Hard Knocks or something to that effect. Do you fly paramotors too?
P.S. I can't afford to buy any bridge, what I spent on training wiped me out! Also, licensing is a big money-grabbing scam by guvmint entities to turn our rights into privileges.
I don't think my chances of death are all that high. The most likely potential injuries I'd risk would be to my legs, ankles, and feet. I just don't wanna have to go to camp somewhere to learn. Luckily, I found a local paragliding and hang gliding club that will train me for $180, so I think that's what I'll end up doing.
People pass out in these things 2,000 feet up and survive their unconscious landings without sustaining life-changing injuries, there are videos of little kids flying these things. I think $180 for 1 on 1 instruction that I can drive to on the weekend is a much better deal than paying for room, board, and group lessons with strangers who live on opposite sides of the country. Can you find any examples of paramotoring accidents resulting in fatalities?
The British Journal of Sports Medicine has done some pretty extensive research into parachuting injuries. Your risk of sustaining an injury in parachute sports is 1/12 that of "regular" sports.
This training course is far superior to other training courses I have seen. I wish this level of instruction was more common.
Haven't seen better,,,I've searched,,just too expensive, ,care workers don't earn alot. ..
How much did you get paid for saying that??

Great video, I got hooked by watching the Tucker Gott videos on You Tube, glad there is some proper training over on this side of the pond.!

You guys are one of the best schools out there...wish you were in Canada....NOTHING HERE
I am in touch with Alex and he has been very supportive and helpful. I can' t wait to start my training … and keeping the dream alive.

Pretty shady way to sell the priciest full APPI course with the phantom license.
I have heard no officially recognized licenses are required or issued by FAA

After my privet pilot license I'm looking to this as a side hobby
Looking fwd to training with you ... just waiting to see what overseas courses you do next year - would have loved to have done Turkey.
loved this video great explanations for this sport🤗
I would love to do this but it's the fear of heights that's keeping me grounded.. at the moment
Anil Chopra you just need to dive in the deep end and discover you can swim (fly) safely!
I would love to learn paramotoring and been wanting to do it for a long time sadly funds will always be a problem and that that’s why I think a lot of people try and teach them selfs through you tube. Which is ludicrous.
Very Good video Alex!!!
Good coverage of your offering, and what training is required to go from noobie to PPP.
Great video guys well done, from a person looking to learn and just looking at everything on youtube. On the other side of the globe so a bit far to travel haha.
Decent training with equipment rentals to finish: 3-4 days shouldn't cost more than $1500.
Can't wait!
Hi i suffer from vertigo but have flown hang gliders and never got the sensation of vertigo and was wondering if paramotor flying was the same ?
Yes its the same, you should not experience Vertigo when flying Paramotors

Excellent. 😀👍
Very nice video!
Been looking at coming to your school maybe next year if possible, i was under the impression you dont need any form of official license to use a paramotor?
What do you learn from training classes that you can't learn from a book or instructional video?
Safety. By learning with those who have experience in this sport you will learn this amazing sport safely.

dave cox Training location is Lake Bornos and the nearest airports are Jerez, Seville and Malaga
That’s beautiful

Pre Covid we were operating in the UK, Portugal, Spain and the UAE. Post Covid we are only operating in the UK and Portugal.
@@SkySchool any chance you guys will ever operate in the us?
Multiple choice!!! For real
How much does the school cost? Total eating, sleeping, learning and flying?
