That is insane! When my instructor and I took a Schweizer 2-33 up to 5000 ft out of Bedminster quite a few years ago, we were getting up into some busy airspace. Can't imagine being too confident about going this high in an ultralight! As for oxygen, well, I've been to the peak of Mauna Kea and did fine, but not a good idea to linger up there too long when your judgment matters.
Funny thing is that you *DROVE* to the top of Mauna Kea!!! At 12,000 ft, they said it was higher than the island hopper 727's which ascend to 10k, then immediately start descending! Amazing place, isn't it?!? It looks like a moonscape. And there is a silver colored flower that only grows at the top of this mountain! I couldn't recommend it more to anyone else!
@@kingjames7273 he explains in the video that if the engine fails he just glides back down. He even turned the engine off once he got to 15000 feet and juat glided down.
To put into perspective, commercial airlines travel at 33,000~42,000 feet, mount everest is 29,000 feet. Pretty amazing how a small engine and a wing can get this high up without issues. Good stuff Tucker, you make me want to get one. (15,000 feet is roughly 4,5k KM)
Hi there, just adding my input as I’m a Virgin Atlantic Commercial pilot (captain). I fly Boeing 747’s and we normally fly the queen at 45000 ft with throttles on 60%. We aren’t authorised to fly higher than 48000. 45 is really high in perspective. The fact that 2 grade G props pushed into one cage can get you to 15000 with one wing, is quite amazing.... until you think about the weight. A queen’s maximum takeoff weight is more than 500,000 KG!! And maximum landing just over 350,000. If you attached one more seat to that paramotor, it will start to flutter.A flutter is when the weight is too much so the aircraft goes up 2 feet down 1.9 feet so basically the accent is impossible and if you turn in a flutter, you would plummet. Nice to put my input in. Want great prices? Fly Virgin Today. Visit our website to view all our destinations! I hope to welcome you onboard soon!
You are friggen LITERALLY living my dream, and especially at this age. Doing tandem from 1700mts from Babadağ (dead sea, Muğla, Turkey) 4 times with a few wing overs and spirals relying on the pilot while I record it on video and I thought I was the adrenaline junkie... This is exactly why I want to learn PPG so I can literally fly anywhere from anywhere followed by some adrenaline rush... I just wish that I was in the seat in front of you to experience it. Pál Takàts is my idol and now you SIR, with what you have accomplished are my 2nd that I will follow... Keep living people's dreams, let nothing stop you.
Josh Katz actually the oxygen level in the atmosphere doesn’t change based on altitude, however, the phrase comes because your lungs can’t process the air as well at high altitudes🤙🏼
Tucker: what kind of payload can you comfortably carry? Or is that the limit that it's comfortable to carry? My friend is studying atmospheric ecology and currently is doing some work on so called "trace gasses" at specific altitudes. The device weighs about a kilo and maybe 500mm x 800mm x 300mm and is fully automated, 2 buttons, button 1 breaks the seal, button 2 cycles the ventilation fan to saturate the sensors and fill the sample containers. Indicator light goes from red to green and you push button 1 and it self seals and shuts off. It'll come fedex with prepaid return box, and she would ask that you just document the altitude and location over 3000' that it was cycled. She's been paying a Cessna rental & pilot fee out of her own pocket you can imagine the cost. I showed her your channel and she thinks it'll work, so she asked me to ask you, since I subscribe to your channel by her it means we know each other! If this is something you might consider I can send you the specs on the sampling device & some photos, she asks if the aluminum case needs to be drilled for straps or attachment to you or your paraglider assembly that she be permitted to do the drilling for you, even if it needs to be mailed back and forth several times, as she has but one, built it herself. It's beautiful I think, the hydraulic mechanism makes a satisfying "ker.. klunk!" Upon resealing it's airtight portions itself. Anyway if this interests you please let me know, you would be assisting someone who will dedicate her life to ensuring the earth has breathable air for future generations. This altitude air sampling is a large part of her dissertation. All that being said, if there's any chance it would be unsafe for you for some reason, please don't feel that it won't happen if you don't do it, we have other options, including a fully automated version that cycles at a specific altitude she's working on, using a barometer switch, giving it to other recreational flyers who fly things with easier storage, so the fate of the world having air rests not in your hands! I just asked because I subscribe to your channel and this means we know each other (she slaps me in the back of the head upon reading). No I subscribe to your channel so you HAVE to do what I say! (Slaps me again) thanks for reading sorry it's long
I'd swear loudly and curse the fact that any moron can just do this without even a VHF radio or a transponder and leave the responsibility for traffic avoidance entirely in the hands of those of us who actually put in the time and effort to earn an actual pilot's licence, including how to avoid mid-air collisions, just to end up with this dude coming through the cockpit window like some flying moose from hell at 120 knots and killing me...
Ps, sorry for being so dark about it @wilmer. but people who most of time tell everyone how they should suicide should just do it then. but i assume you ment it as a joke. cheers lol
Experimental Fun I tried that once but my paper airplane folded with the high wind speed, before I could throw it. I either need a better design or thicker paper.
make a paper plane out of dollar tree foam board, Just draw it up and glue it together with hot glue. Leave the paper on and use some coins as nose weight. Also put in some dihedral and leave some up elevator to keep it stable.
I got into paramotoring after skydiving once… I love the idea of the higher altitude flights instead of foot dragging. I’m going to go for 10,000 feet tomorrow since that’s where we did our skydiving jump. Looking really forward to it.
Hey man, love your channel. That's a good point. I know about hypoxia, I'm a private pilot also. I chose this level of risk but I wouldn't encourage anyone to do the same.
Idk anything about this but how long would he be unconscious and would he go straight down if it happened? Or would he calmly go down and wake up at let say 5000 feet and land without problem? =)
Sat on an office chair, with a sheet over your head and a ceiling fan on your back, crazy. Loved it, thanks for sharing. I've just taken up the sport, but you will never see me that high Tucker.

As if I wasn't impressed enough, you go and land next to your car, and then lay the wing down gracefully right next to the boot (trunk) with a finale chuckle. You're just teasing us with your brilliance lol.
I'm trying to get a grip on how hard you ran the motor during your climb. Would you call it 3/4 throttle? Full throttle? Do you know your RPM? (If so, which motor do you run?) I'm tempted to do a lightweight version of that but the manual on every paramotor I've seen tells me to go easy with heavy throttle duration. BTW, going to Wings Over Winter? It's getting close. :)
Buy the PPG Bible and study it for weeks on end..then find a local trainer..there are a couple around Jersey.Save up $12 for new gear or $6K for good used gear,then another $2k for training :)
Flying isnt that bad. I was a little scared before my first time in a jetplane... But right before entering the plane, everything was gone and I was excited like a 6 year old for xmas... As it started to accelerate and finally launched... Wow... I wanted nothing more since then... Great feeling! First time felt a little weird cause everything is crazy more than you can imagine or experience on Land with a car for example....launch and landing made me laugh actually, cause of the Super crazy acceleration. Landing was funny too smh. Hope you will find out what its like some day and will have fun 👍🏻🤗😅 Even if it is just a 1h flight The sight you get is great and made me loose some tears... You actually feel free..... 👍🏻
@@cristianiacob1050 well your pretty much right about that. I'm not really the type to be flying 15,000 feet in the air while being held by a couple of strings.
Krytical 1 The risk of dying from risky sports like this is disproportional because of all the strongheaded idiots that do dumb shit and get themselves killed, ie most deaths are caused by negligence and pilot error. just git gud
.....Man with his flaming pyre has conquered the wayward breezes,.climbing to tranquility, far above the clouds, conceiving the heavens ,clear of misty shourd. Love this video and all its view you made.many,many thanks.
Theyre about £3000 in the Uk for just the motor so quite expensive with the full set up and of course lessons but its probably no more than many other hobbies like horse riding and once you make an initial investment of getting the gear and lessons. You wont really have many more costs other than fuel and upgrades when you want them.
The Moon looks amazing also.From the camera angle it's like we're flying. You're right, to be able to lift ourselves off the ground to such heights is Amazing!
The higher you flew, the dizzier I became, until I fell out of my office chair!!! I am 77 years old and way too old to fly this high,,,,lol. By the way, this video is dated December 22. That was my birthday.
It took me a while to finally find the location, but it was a rewarding moment when I finally did. The blue/gray area that keeps coming up is a solar array at 40.706108, -75.103635, and the lake in view is Merrill Creek Reservoir. I kept looking around Round Valley and Spruce Run reservoirs, as they were mentioned, but they are about 10 miles away. When he says, "look at the park down there" at 5:55, the Idaho shaped brown area beyond the 3 horizontal lines (massive hamburger menu icon?) would be Heritage Park.
Air sick is just motion sickness through air travel, some people are more at risk, some just dont get sick, others it takes a lot of motion without visual veiws of the horizon...some get sick really easy....altitude sickness is different, it is a form of hypoxia, and starts to occur more seriously with extended ventures above 12000, with seriousness after 18000......above 8000m is deadly for everyone if time up there is long enough...the death zone
Johnny Nunez I am not a flat earther but you realise he is using a go pro? you may want to do a little research on the lenses used. Hint: they make everything elliptical
Luke Nallen I know he is using a go pro. So fast to correct bro ! I asked if he physically seen the earth curve with the naked eye being so high. I should have spelled it out for people like you.
Andrii Povkh its impossible to go upside down and still fly. He just moves his body 90° forward, looking down in a bird view and combined with the fisheye effect of the cam it gives the illusion of a full sideturn
They have that rather annoying issue of needing to take off and land though, don't worry though, we're hoping to eliminate that need in the next few years.
Damn MY palms started sweating when he was doing those asymmetric turns, just watching it on video after the fact. Tucker must have nerves of steel. Well done
1:40 He said "This climb up is just going to be boring!" .. 3:20 "It definitely sounds like the motor is loosing power" .....at 5,000 feet ......Hell Nah
Imagine you're sitting in your house bored, and you decide "eh, I think I'll go for a fly" It's crazy this guys pass time is literally most people's dream
@@charlesjefferson4372 you can go cheaper im talking good gear if you get lucky you can get a full set of gear (parachute paramotor and trike) off somebody who is quitting for about £1500
@@temsbab1565 this is definitely true, but when you’re trusting something to save your life, going chief is not the best idea. I say the same thing about used scuba equipment… not worth it haha
most people dreams? Where did you get that from? in contrast to what you said i could say that for many if not most people this very well may be one of the worst things to do instead of any kind of dream
He doesn't actually go upside down on a wing-over or a SAT. Visually it looks like it a little bit because of the angle of the go-pro positioning on his helmet.
British explorer and mountaineer Edward "Bear" Grylls, has set a new altitude record by piloting a powered paraglider above Mount Everest reaching 29,494ft (8,990m). ... Remarkably, in 1998, after months of rehabilitation, he became at 23, the youngest British climber to scale Mount Everest and return alive. - there just searched it .. you can
That is the coolest concept I've ever seen in my life: 1. Where can I get a paramotor? 2. What does it cost? 3. What kind of training/certifications do you need, and how long does that take? 4. What kind of airspace restrictions do I have to worry about? 5. What am I allowed/not allowed to bring up there? 6. What are the main dangers? 7. At what altitudes do certain things cease functioning? and 8. Do you just poop/pee yourself if the need arises? I'M IN.

Step 7: fly fairly far away
Step 8: watch news to see survivors explain that a man flew over and dropped the grenades
Step 9: toss paramotor in someones backyard
Step 10: go to payphone and call police to the house
Step 11: watch the confusion rise
You do a great job describing what you are doing and why for those of us that have no idea, great job thanks!
Next video: Flying to the Moon on my paramotor.
fly too mars
Lmaoooo
😂😂
Lol, yeah right! Man has never landed on the moon
Lol good shit
After all this, the most impressive thing to me is how close he got to his car.
he makes it all seem so easy
BigBadCiviC hes been training for 5 yrs
I mean being that high also doing spins like that without shatting his pants is pretty impressive
I suppose so. :P (Yeah, that stuff is hugely impressive, I can't say that I've ever done anything as cool as this.)
“I got all day to glide down” that statement alone made me feel relaxed
Wow, almost 6 years later and you're making my hass pucker up, and I fly, sort of. Beautiful!
As if I wasn't impressed enough, you go and land next to your car, and then lay the wing down gracefully right next to the boot (trunk) with a finale chuckle. You're just teasing us with your brilliance lol.
Imagine if all of the storm area 51 people knew about this.
i could see that they would air naruto run lol
Barely anyone showed and the people who did looked like complete morons.
@@DankDaHerbalist r/woooosh
It would be like D-Day Group 1 is fliyng Group 2 are on land XD
Wait how would they naruto run tho.....?
I'm trying to get a grip on how hard you ran the motor during your climb. Would you call it 3/4 throttle? Full throttle? Do you know your RPM? (If so, which motor do you run?) I'm tempted to do a lightweight version of that but the manual on every paramotor I've seen tells me to go easy with heavy throttle duration. BTW, going to Wings Over Winter? It's getting close. :)
Mr Woodworth knew i would find you here haha
Was wondering the same.
Go fuck yourself Woody you flameout fuck
Definitely drunk when I said that, but I regret nothing
Your mom regrets having you!
That’s was AWESOME! Thanks for taking me along. Beautiful the higher you got.
WHO:"Stay at least 6 feet away from other people." Tucker: "Bet"
lol
Get reported kid
Russell Zahorik
Why
lol this was filmed 3 years ago bro
Seraphina G Tucker knew what was coming. He could see it from up there.
I couldn’t mentally handle that. Great job. Just to see his body dangling from a few strings at 15k makes my stomach turn into knots.
I know.
It's INSANE but also INSANELY cool.
Same
Doesn't matter if it's 150 or 15000 feet. He's dead if he falls :)
Dan, tell that to your brain :P
its not that weak the strings are made of kevlar or titanium so they only break under some insane stress
Imagine looking up in the sky seeing a guy spinning like a helicopter on a fan attached to a parachute...
JordanDaGoat x Merica!
Lol!!!
🤣
imagine that you fly and you start to run out of fuel and you cannot see where you park your car?..lol
I actually saw that once
That was really amazing. You got guts kid! To be the man you got to beat the man. Nobody gonna beat you.....you da man
This is the perfect way to just get away when you don't want to be around anyone
Yungking 47 how do you do this in NJ? How do you get started?
JerzeyRebel 47 Amen to that
Thomas the Dank Engine I share a room with a kid who never stops playing videos games. My room isn’t a place to be alone either.
Here comes the sad emo kid
Buy the PPG Bible and study it for weeks on end..then find a local trainer..there are a couple around Jersey.Save up $12 for new gear or $6K for good used gear,then another $2k for training :)
I would choose this paramotor glider over a supercar
saad salman or you could just get the supercar and sell it and buy yourself a paramotor for £2k
Me too
And it’s way cheaper
Supercars are normally unreliable
They r only like 2k you can sell the supercar and buy the paramotor but I see what u mean
When this guy no longer posts anything, we'll know why.
Yup, that means he flew out of our solar system
Fucking savages 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol respect to him tho
f
@@goldensperm7182 He should sign a contract to release the gopro footage in the event
What an inspiration, young man! Keep living adventurously, and always be safe.
Tucker: goes 15000 feet in the sky with a paramoter
Me: still scared to go on a plane
Same
Flying isnt that bad.
I was a little scared before my first time in a jetplane... But right before entering the plane, everything was gone and I was excited like a 6 year old for xmas... As it started to accelerate and finally launched... Wow... I wanted nothing more since then... Great feeling!
First time felt a little weird cause everything is crazy more than you can imagine or experience on Land with a car for example....launch and landing made me laugh actually, cause of the Super crazy acceleration. Landing was funny too smh.
Hope you will find out what its like some day and will have fun 👍🏻🤗😅
Even if it is just a 1h flight
The sight you get is great and made me loose some tears... You actually feel free..... 👍🏻
Like with most things you get accustomed to heights over time.
737 Max is waiting for you
Hello Heillo
Bruh no
Im jealous as hell. You can literally wake up and say "I think ill fly today"
Krytical 1 if odds of death keep you from doing stuff you won't do many interesting things in life.
@@cristianiacob1050 well your pretty much right about that. I'm not really the type to be flying 15,000 feet in the air while being held by a couple of strings.
@DutchGreen Gaming Yes but I dramatically increase the amount of time I have left by staying on the ground where I belong.
@DutchGreen Gaming I am living my life. Happily too. I don't need to be some adrenaline junkie to have fun.
Krytical 1 The risk of dying from risky sports like this is disproportional because of all the strongheaded idiots that do dumb shit and get themselves killed, ie most deaths are caused by negligence and pilot error.
just git gud
“I don’t want to go too crazy”
(Starts breathing super hard and going too crazy)
.....Man with his flaming pyre has conquered the wayward breezes,.climbing to tranquility, far above the clouds, conceiving the heavens ,clear of misty shourd. Love this video and all its view you made.many,many thanks.
"I'm still getting Instagram notifications" lmfao
I literally got dizzy. I was zeroed in on the park buildings and had to look away! Awesome trip!!
7:21 Tucker: “i dont wanna go too crazy”
Also Tucker: goes almost upside down.
ChrisYT so true lmao
helicopter spins
My dude he was doing a 180° barrel roll maneuver like a dive bomb maneuver from a SBD Dauntless from WWII
this is a good transportation
bad smoke 0%
air pollution 0%
traffic cause 0%
give us happy 100%
God bless you
happy new year 2020-2021
This is my first video I've ever seen by this channel or even about a paramotor........ but it's already on my to do list to buy one and learn to fly
Jaden Cuffy Vlogs Thats exactly wat i thought
Jaden Cuffy Vlogs same
PizzaPandas/Minecraft And More that's fine!!
Theyre about £3000 in the Uk for just the motor so quite expensive with the full set up and of course lessons but its probably no more than many other hobbies like horse riding and once you make an initial investment of getting the gear and lessons. You wont really have many more costs other than fuel and upgrades when you want them.
PizzaPandas/Minecraft And More
Some save the money for a car, i will save it for such a cool thing.
if he got a call he could've been like "I'm super high right now"
haha right
Haha Lol! :)
They would think hes smoking weed heigh
Bonnie that’s the point lol
@@gabcea you don't say
“Today’s just one of those days”
*flies 15,000 feet*
Diego Santin underrated comment
Yeah, since.. you know, the average joe owns a paraglider. Who doesnt?
Actually it’s spelled fliesyses. Please learn correct granper.
Hoodwinked
im
The Moon looks amazing also.From the camera angle it's like we're flying. You're right, to be able to lift ourselves off the ground to such heights is Amazing!
imagine this is all wright brothers needed
UNDERRATED COMMENT 😂
"I don't want to get too crazy." ....flips upside-down @_@
he did no such thing.
LOLHICRONO if you watched the video he did go upside down for a sec
He literally called it "Over wing." He went upside down. Multiple times.
10mmPig "at a reasonable altitude " above 3000 feet in the air...
He didn't go upside down you fucktards. It's called hook turns, you can't go upside down with a paraglide. READ or comment about things you know
The higher you flew, the dizzier I became, until I fell out of my office chair!!! I am 77 years old and way too old to fly this high,,,,lol. By the way, this video is dated December 22. That was my birthday.
Happy late birthday
Joyeux anniversaire ! Félicitations!
Bonjour de France l'ami ✌😉👍🇫🇷
Happy late birthday!
Was? What up is it now?
Snap. But I’m only 40.
It took me a while to finally find the location, but it was a rewarding moment when I finally did.
The blue/gray area that keeps coming up is a solar array at 40.706108, -75.103635, and the lake in view is Merrill Creek Reservoir.
I kept looking around Round Valley and Spruce Run reservoirs, as they were mentioned, but they are about 10 miles away.
When he says, "look at the park down there" at 5:55, the Idaho shaped brown area beyond the 3 horizontal lines (massive hamburger menu icon?) would be Heritage Park.
Bro just doxxed him
Did u just dox him?
9:00 🤢 how is he not air sick?!
Probably cause hes experienced and has been doing this for a long time, But your right experience or not, I'd start to puke lol.
Tampatec The camera he uses seems to be fish eye or something like that. It wouldn't look that sickening in real life.
Thats less than the half way point of the big 7 mountains and lower still than downtown "urban" tibet :-/
I think they call that being dizzy LOL
Air sick is just motion sickness through air travel, some people are more at risk, some just dont get sick, others it takes a lot of motion without visual veiws of the horizon...some get sick really easy....altitude sickness is different, it is a form of hypoxia, and starts to occur more seriously with extended ventures above 12000, with seriousness after 18000......above 8000m is deadly for everyone if time up there is long enough...the death zone
why dont you set a personal best and try to land on the moon
summs hed run out of air
yeah no shit
Zach Attack Gaming no shit, take the joke😂
Maybe you're the one who didn't get my joke. No need to ruin the comment thread :)
Zach Attack Gaming Oh really... really... hmmmmm........
this makes me so fucking nervous just watching it
john jaxon Pretty damn cool tho !
Did you see the curvature of the earth?
For all those flat earthers out there who still think we live on a flat planet
john jaxon nunez nice try its not a curvature carry on lol
Johnny Nunez I am not a flat earther but you realise he is using a go pro? you may want to do a little research on the lenses used. Hint: they make everything elliptical
Luke Nallen I know he is using a go pro. So fast to correct bro !
I asked if he physically seen the earth curve with the naked eye being so high. I should have spelled it out for people like you.
That was an awesome flight, i enjoyed the views and watching you sitting in a chair above the world, fantastic 👍
should air drop toys on xmas..
Matthew meehan-lam Accidently knock a few kids out...
I want an Xbox One
great idea
I want a bicycle

"I don't wanna go to crazy" - and goes upside down!
Andrii Povkh its impossible to go upside down and still fly. He just moves his body 90° forward, looking down in a bird view and combined with the fisheye effect of the cam it gives the illusion of a full sideturn
Astra Nox U get his point, right?
Astra Nox fuck you
Daniel Borthwick fuck you too
Y'all shut up
Imagine flying this every morning in the summer
Adam M the life to live
Saene sadly that’s not happening so stop fucking dreaming kid
Cicero Progontus yeah fuck u
swaggershatter I mean you could because you don’t need a license to fly a paramotor
Derpy Derp and you don’t need a license to plug in your beautiful TH-cam video for others to enjoy watching th-cam.com/video/nfoEXM8IABQ/w-d-xo.html
Def the best 12min of content I've seen on TH-cam by far. That was amazing. I got excited flying my drone @ 1,000' but u ruined that for me, thanx.
What would you do up there if you saw an Airbus coming at you at 500+ mph?
I don't really see that being a problem. If I recall, planes usually fly at around 40,000 feet.
They have that rather annoying issue of needing to take off and land though, don't worry though, we're hoping to eliminate that need in the next few years.
I was only referring to their cruising altitude.
I'm sure the guy is aware of the airspace his in. It's not really the airliners that are the problem but rather smaller aircraft.
They have a responsibility to give way to paragliders/paramotors. See and avoid.
Imagine escaping from the police on this
Gta
@@GawainSSB but they can't catch youuuu, lol. Bring extra gas & food, be up there all day if you glide properly
@Optimus27 its called helicopters
Gawain clouds my friend. Clouds
@Optimus27 Use a helicopter with a hook attached. Military has done it all the time to capture parachuted cargo.
Everyone has had that dream when you were young having the ability to fly
i havnt ;(
I still have it ,best feeling ever ˘ ³˘
Sevaytlan he prolly has done over thousands of flight simulation already.
I now want to be like him when i grow older
@@nikola2364 He has a parachute so he should be good.
Damn MY palms started sweating when he was doing those asymmetric turns, just watching it on video after the fact. Tucker must have nerves of steel. Well done
I wonder how many people aren't aware of Paramotors and think you're a ufo.
Well if they are unable to identify what it is then he really is a UFO to them. Maybe he should dress like an alien next trip.
Phill Huddleston Lmao that’d be great 👍
someone hasn't been on redit yet there are remarkable people on there who know remarkably little about literally anything :)
Everyone: such beautiful views

meh I live in the year 20234025025 *anti-gravity shit activated*
1:40 He said "This climb up is just going to be boring!" .. 3:20 "It definitely sounds like the motor is loosing power" .....at 5,000 feet ......Hell Nah
Keylan the parachute would catch him
Keylan the engine is louder at lower altitudes because the air is thicker and the engine has to work harder.
Keylan, losing power, not "loosing". You can still correct your comment.
ronstacie3 chill grammar nerd
Keylan

That was definitely insane! Amazing experience even just to watch. Thanks brother!
Imagine you're sitting in your house bored, and you decide "eh, I think I'll go for a fly"
It's crazy this guys pass time is literally most people's dream
And its actually cheap about 5k with full new good quality gear and training
@@temsbab1565 not sure I'd say that's "cheap" but it's definitely not as expensive as I thought it'd be!
@@charlesjefferson4372 you can go cheaper im talking good gear if you get lucky you can get a full set of gear (parachute paramotor and trike) off somebody who is quitting for about £1500
@@temsbab1565 this is definitely true, but when you’re trusting something to save your life, going chief is not the best idea. I say the same thing about used scuba equipment… not worth it haha
most people dreams? Where did you get that from? in contrast to what you said i could say that for many if not most people this very well may be one of the worst things to do instead of any kind of dream
i don't want to go to crazy: he goes upside down
He doesn't actually go upside down on a wing-over or a SAT. Visually it looks like it a little bit because of the angle of the go-pro positioning on his helmet.
With the kind of content he makes it's kinda worryin when he's late on the upload😐.

that feeling of landing after being at such high altitudes must be unreal....
I don’t know how the heck TH-cam thought I’d like this but I’m damn glad it did. So cool! Looks like an awesome sport.
That is the coolest concept I've ever seen in my life: 1. Where can I get a paramotor? 2. What does it cost? 3. What kind of training/certifications do you need, and how long does that take? 4. What kind of airspace restrictions do I have to worry about? 5. What am I allowed/not allowed to bring up there? 6. What are the main dangers? 7. At what altitudes do certain things cease functioning? and 8. Do you just poop/pee yourself if the need arises? I'M IN.
