As a pilot - You have to be correct all the time; that giant rock you and your buddy are straddling only has to be right once. Most pilots will tell confidence is key but arrogance gets you killed. Unnecessary risk for most paraglider pilots - but I’ll watch form the comfort of my couch until the moment comes.
Ah yea the best pilot in the world with way way way over 11,000 flights without injury is taking unnecessary risks by flying around a rock... ummm okey dokey. You are the one taking unnecessary risks sitting in front of thousands of computer components all built by the lowest bidder and all hooked up to 120v. You are more likely to stub your toe and break it on your coffee table than I am to break a toe flying.
Hi Dell, do you discuss flying conditions during the day in your training? Also, do you discuss how to recover from a collapse and other recovery techniques? Thanks
Yes all of that is part of the ground school that you receive when you go through SUPER training. Plus you don't just hear about how to respond to collapses you actually experience them thousands and thousands of times safely on the ground where you work how to respond to them into reflexes so you don't even have to think about it. Telling someone how to respond to collapses is like telling someone how to react in a fight. It's pretty much useless without the piles of practice that train the body to respond to it instinctively. SUPER training is sadly the only school in the world truly doing this. You should be able to kite that glider all day long and never ever ever take a collapse. If you can't do this we don't put you in the air until you can. Just watch the piles of videos of SUPER students kiting up a vertical wall for example. That is exactly the same skill it takes to actively pilot the glider. It's also exactly the same skill it takes to make perfect launches & landings as well because that precision of loading control is what it takes to maintain a perfect altitude give or take 1 inch. No other paragliding/paramotoring school out there teaches true and real skills like this and as a result, people take collapses all over the place and it gets very ugly. 99% of the issues like that can be prevented with SUPER training and the best & safest gear. The skill level people attain through SUPER training is truly a completely different level from anything else. In order to get 25-60 HOURS of glider control though you need 25-60 hours of wind. Trying to get that many hours in Ohio or Colorado or anywhere inland would literally take 1-2 years. Only at the perfect beach can we get that many hours of glider control and then rock upwards of 500+ flights on top of it in just 10 days. Hope this helps. Just call 800-707-2525 if you ever want to discuss anything in more detail.
Great flight and vid as per the usual fine sir, I loved the weight shift laugh at 20:04. One has to go thru super training to fully understand the joy a well executed landing and taxi brings.
Definite no on the big huge honking trike as they would require a special license in the US and with that much weight and bulk you would be very limited in the conditions you can fly in. So what we have is an extremely lightweight trike that we make a tandem kit for so you have the lightest possible weight and best possible design allowing one to fly in pretty much any conditions. With huge heavy units they tend to oscillate all over in turbulence so it's important to have the weight in close around the center as much as possible. The Flat Top Ninja will carry over 600 lbs so with a 36 lb tandem capable trike the weight it can carry is truly incredible.
@@DellSchanze thank you for your answer Mr. Schanze. I would highly encourage you to built something bigger for people who live outside the US. After doing lots of research, i think you have the best equipmets and the best SUPER training..i would love to get proper training, obvously at your school in a few years but i like tamdem flights more because you are able to share your passion and love of flying with others.
@@jochycastillo4500 Umm I just explained why you don't want a huge heavy trike as they are unsafe. Since there is no such thing as "perfectly smooth air" and crazy conditions can happen ANY time it's absolutely critical to fly with a unit designed to be able to deal with the worst of conditions. Flying tandem is no problem at all. You absolutely do not want a super heavy unit as it changes the whole dynamics. In this sport it's very important to listen very closely to what the true experts are saying. Come take SUPER training and I'll have you rocking the skies and equipped correctly to deal with anything. So WHEN you get hit with that 30-35mph gust front you just fly right through it no problem and continue having fun. SUPER training is the only school in the world that can get people from never having touched a glider to tandem instructor level in just 10 days. It's truly incredible how quickly you can progress when you have the very best giving you every detail of exactly what's what and how to do things. :) Just call me at 800-707-2525 or email ppghero@gmail.com You just won't see those with huge heavy units flying hardly at all let alone during the day. They severely limit you to only fly in wind below 8mph. Since it's impossible to guarantee wind that light at any time there is zero reason to even have an aircraft that is sold as a dream and not a reality. If you want to fly anywhere and do anything you gotta train with those who can and do.
@@DellSchanze okk, i understand know..well i will keep the flat top as my number one option. Thank you, i will get in contact with your office when i am ready to start my training. Have a nice day.
When it is 100 degrees is the air hotter or cooler up above? In the cooler weather we hear people say that it is much colder when they are up in the air. Is it much cooler on a hot day as well? Thanks.
Normally yes it gets colder about 3 degrees each 1000 ft you climb. In an inversion it actually gets warming as you climb though. So it depends on the day.
@@DellSchanze Thanks very much for getting back to me. I'm in the desert so I was wondering about that. I am just thinking about getting into paramotoring and I just learned about the Flattop and its great safety reputation. I'm definitely going to be looking into a safe unit like that. Thanks again.
@@notsosilentmajority1 The main thing about this sport is to look very closely at the skill level of whom you talk to. Forget "reputation" as each comment for or against something must be valued only by the skill and competency of the one saying it. There are just so many liars out there you have to be very careful to ONLY accept advice and input from those who truly are the best. Before you take advice from anyone in this sport demand they SHOW a video of themselves doing things like in this video of me: th-cam.com/video/1gLA5T0x73c/w-d-xo.html You don't get to be the best without massive experience and you don't get massive experience if you are dead. So you gotta figure that following with what the very best does will be far more likely to keep you alive and give capability others don't have. Just call me at 800-707-2525. Also when looking for training once again always always look at the skill level of the students: th-cam.com/video/RXC5Jx_URoQ/w-d-xo.html if they are truly training people with real actual skills then they should have the videos to show for it. If they refuse to send any videos and claim they don't have anything to prove then you know they are a scammer. Sadly there are so many scammers it really jacks up the image of the sport when in fact this sport is truly incredible and amazingly safe if you simply get the right gear and training like we use.
am i rigth if i say that MidDay flying is safe but the majority of critics fly superbig beginnerwings that react much worse and do not keep the same high pressure as a smaller wing and therefor is much more prone to collapses, and such? Dell you are awesome man! been watching you for years!
No actually the glider size makes very little difference as long as you have a Dominator. It's primarily skill level that allows you to fly through anything without issues. Most out there pretending to be instructors literally don't have even the most basic skill or understanding of the sport themselves. The skill to prevent collapses is learned very safely from the ground at SUPER training as we do 25-60 HOURS of kiting as we build every single detail of glider control into reflexes. If you can prevent collapses on the ground then you can prevent collapses in the air. At SUPER training you will be able to kite all day in any conditions without ever even once taking a collapse. The second you attain this skill level on the ground then and only then do we move to the flying part. If you can kite up a pole the odds of you taking a collapse are very very small as it's exactly the same active piloting skill. It's all about controlling loading and altitude give or take 1 inch while also controlling direction withing an inch of perfection. Then in the air if the glider gets slammed you will automatically maintain that same perfect level of loading and direction. It's pretty incredible what you can do when you graduate SUPER training. If you look at this video where my son set the world record as the youngest paramotor pilot in history at age 10 you can see that later in the video he kites up a pole. So he literally had mastery level skills before he ever took his first flight. That's why he makes it look so incredibly simple and stable. Just call 800-707-2525 when you want to fly as it's seriously the coolest thing you will ever do IF you get this specific gear and training.
Well paragliders are very specifically designed to be flown in the middle of the day off the mountains. Those without proper training or gear though just don't have the active piloting skills required to keep their gliders under control. So they are scared to death at the slightest thermic activity. Those with SUPER training along with Flat Tops & Dominators have a completely different experience in the sport than others. It's truly remarkable what you can do when you have the very best gear and training.
I didn't kick any owls. That was a lie made up from a competitor intentionally to drag me down. The man who fabricated that lie was very unstable mentally. We had a disagreement and he did everything he could to destroy my life and business. The lie he made up about the owl was outrageous. I love owls and all other birds. They fly with us all the time. Any paramotor pilot can tell you just how fun it is to fly alongside birds.
Hey Dell can you explain more about weight shifting one direction while adding brake the opposite direction? You mentioned that in this video while you were riding the thermal. I still don’t understand why you do that. Maybe you could do a video explaining that technique??
Howdy fine sir! In a thermal you want your glider as flat as possible to maximize lift. The more sideways the glider is the higher your sink rate and therefore the lower your climb rate. So I weight shift hard to make the turn but then use the opposite brake to prevent it from diving into the turn to help it stay more level while turning. Just a bit of a trick from paragliding without a motor to make the most of the lift you get. Let me know if you have any more questions at all.
@@etiennelavigueur2955 No you weight shift one way and then use brake on the other side to help keep it flat. There are different tricks to doing that as well we can share.
No but I get incredible blessings from God every time I save someone's life by sharing these facts. In fact not one single SUPER training in all of history has ever been ruined by bad weather. Just getting a day 10 class without it getting rained out or something is pretty miraculous but never not even once in all of history? Yes it pays to do what's right and tell the truth so God's got your back.
@@mamatuja You can't really do training in San Diego which is why we used to go down into Mexico for the flight training on the empty beaches. They changed their rules though and now require you to purchase a visa to go down there and that requires a passport that not everyone has. So now we do SUPER training near Corpus Christi Texas which is a much better location than Mexico was. It's so good we just had a student set a new world record knocking out 530 flights by the end of his 10 days of SUPER training. So you would want to just hop on a plane and come through SUPER training yourself instead of just watching. It's the funnest vacation you will ever take and you can literally come back with better than expert level skills. Just give me a call anytime at 800-707-2525 to reserve a spot.
I wish i could be learn how to fly midday but i have had it drilled into me that you cant fly midday i got a sky k2 think very similar to the donimater
Same glider! Go fly mid day! It's totally safe if you have the skills and the gear. Sounds like you have the right glider so now ask yourself if you have the skills!
Total agree what the wing is designed for!! Also if paramotoring in mid-day, just to make it a little easier to find the thermals. And know when you getting a good one, or a weak one and follow them even if you can't see them. Have this on the comfort bars on the other side? Variometer nice addition to a true pilot? happy flying!!!
A vario can be helpful if you are really trying to do nothing but rely on lift and have to use every possible thermal even if it's weaker but generally, once you gain some experience you can feel yourself going up and feel where the lift is if it's a bit stronger.
@@DellSchanze WELL SINCE IN MAY BE YEARS UNTIL, AM UP TO YOUR LEVEL SO, EVER LITTLE BIT HELPS TO MAKE IT A HAPPY AND MOST OF ALL A SAFE FLIGHT WELL IT LIKE A GUN? LOL! "SET THE STANDARD, THEN BE THE STANDARD!" HAPPY FLYING!!
Yes. With SUPER skills that come through SUPER training specifically and with the very best gear which is the Flat Top & Dominator you can pretty much fly when ever the heck you want in most any conditions other than bad weather. Now once the temps drop down below 50 or so you don't generally get as much thermic activity so not only can you fly all day in the winder but it's usually quite smooth. In the desert in summer you can still fly during the day but there will be more activity. It doesn't really matter it's just something to be aware of. So like in this video where we are in about 100 degree temps in the desert mountains of southern Utah it's really no big deal. In fact even in the summer in the mountains it's can be decently smooth as it's not like you are hitting thermals constantly ever second. Now while this is all true you have to read the part about SUPER skills and SUPER training specifically as so many think they have skills when they absolutely do not. So like in this video where I state qualifiers like being able to kite up a vertical wall: th-cam.com/video/geha95mEtoY/w-d-xo.html if you cannot even do this let alone the many other things SUPER students can do then no you absolutely should not be flying at all let alone flying during the day. All too often you hear people say "oh we only fly in perfectly smooth air". Well this only shows their complete and total ignorance and shows just how clearly they absolutely should not be flying at all until they actually graduate SUPER training as there is no such thing as "perfectly smooth air". Even on a calm cold winter morning you can get slammed with crazy turbulence and conditions are constantly changing so while one can try to stay in better conditions one absolutely should be prepared for anything with true and real skills and the very best gear to deal with it. I've taken 80% collapses in "perfectly smooth air" flying along without a ripple in the sky and WHAP!! I've taken a 90% collapse on a cool winter morning without a ripple in the sky and WHAP!! For a pilot with SUPER skills to take a collapse is extremely rare but SUPER skills are not just about preventing a collapse they are also the reflexes trained in to then respond instantly to the collapse and every single time I've been slammed I just popped it right back out and kept on flying no problem at all. That while you can watch those without proper gear or SUPER skills pound in face first all over youtube. 7 more just DIED because they didn't get SUPER training and so didn't have even the most basic skills and all of them on total death trap gliders they call "reflex" which are not actually reflex since there is no such thing as reflex to any paraglider. So your real question that you are asking I would imagine is more of a question of safety and yes absolutely you can fly pretty much anywhere anytime with absolutely incredible safety IF you gain the right skills and fly exactly the gear I very specifically recommend based on all of my experience. In all of history only 1 single person has ever died on the safest gear and that was from attempting acrobatics he had not been trained to do so low to the ground he didn't have time to recover when he messed up and he basically looped himself face first into the ground. So 1 single death in all of history and it wasn't from turbulence or an issue with the gear. 99.9% of the deaths are very specifically because of people not having even the most basic ability to active pilot a glider correctly and horrible gear. So as long as you do gain the ability to do things like I just SHOWED very specifically in that video and as long as I personally as your instructor tell you are good to go and as long as you fly exactly the gear I recommend for you specifically along with the exact glider size I personally recommend for you then yes your safety is incredibly high summer or winter or anywhere. This aircraft, as in the Flat Top paramotor specifically, is one of the most incredibly versatile and capable and safest ever created. That's why and how I have way way way way over 11,000 flights pushing all the limits and doing things nobody else on earth can do all without a single injury. It's why you can see me flying right in the middle of the day in 100+ degree temps in the desert mountains with my kids all without issues. So for anyone that wants to actually enjoy this sport as fully and as safely as possible I am the best guy to call and I can be reached at 800-707-2525. Sadly I'm the ONLY guy to call. I wish there were others I could recommend but they simply don't exist. I'm always open to someone SHOWING another instructor training people and equipping them properly though as that would be awesome to see. I would love to recommend others beside myself if they can be shown to exist. Until that time though it would be highly unwise to trust one's life to anyone other than me personally.
@@PhoenixBoy749 You are welcome. Hopefully it will save someone's life who might not have checked their instructor's skill level or the skill level of those they had trained before trusting their life to them.
@@PhoenixBoy749 There are many variables such as wind and wind direction but in zero wind you can get off the ground in only 20-30 ft and the Flat Top Ninja can climb in a spiral so 150 ft should be no problem at all once you have the skills and that specific gear. Here is a video of what a tight launch would look like: th-cam.com/video/aFpdS-Nk1l4/w-d-xo.html
The Dominator is the safest class of wing and even exceeds the safest class but it also has the best performance and capability. So you get the ultimate of worth worlds by getting the funnest performance while at the same time maintaining the highest level of safety. Plus it allows you to fly pretty much anywhere anytime where others are extremely limited in when and where they can fly. SUPER skills along with a Flat Top & Dominator is a completely different sport from what others experience. It's quite incredible. It's just not fun flying death traps wings knowing that at any second you could take collapse and the wing will back flip 180 straight at the ground so fast that a Macpara Charger hoaxflex death trap wing literally ejected the pilot right out of the harness and he fell to his death. It's hard to comprehend how anyone could fly wings like that at all. The Dominator is in a class all by itself.
Generally we refer to all soaring (thermaling and mechanical lift) as soaring. A flight without lift is typically referred to as a "sled run". "Gliding" is a generic term much like "Flying", it's just referring to flying without propulsion.
@@entelin Yes but none of that changes what I shared. Plus if you are not even a paramotor pilot it makes no sense to try to share your knowledge about that which you admit to know nothing about. It's much much much much safer to fly a Flat Top paramotor that to just free fly. Plus you can learn to core thermals 100 times faster with a Flat Top paramotor than you can free flying. With free flying you get maybe one flight and then have to hike all the way back up and possibly miss the flying window so all you get is one flight and one chance. With a paramotor you can try over and over and over 100's of times in a row and if you sink out you just fire the motor up and try it again. Plus with a motor we can fly in places no other paraglider pilot has ever flown before. We can find soaring sites to fly in places nobody else can really get to. If we want to just paraglide we hit the kill switch. When we want a second chance to try again we start the motor again. The absolute best and safest way to learn to paraglide is with a motor as a harness. It's far more comfortable and the 57 inch roll cage along with 18 inches of crumple zone under your spine and the ability to choose where you want to land makes it infinitely safer by a huge gigantic margin.
@@DellSchanze My comment was aimed at liberty, not you. I am a hangglider pilot, what I said above is factual, I'm not disagreeing with what you said at 22:22.
I flew my AirTrike yesterday around 11:30 to 1:00 PM Nov. 4, 2019, In 79 degree heat. Does that count? I also ran out of gas above the high school soccer field and did the emergency power-off landing. A couple of workers drove me home and to the gas station then back home to mix the oil with the gas. They drove me back to my trike and watched my take off and got some video. After 20 more minutes of flight, I was hitting some thermals which I thought was increased wind speed, so I landed. It was calm on the ground! I could've flown another hour! Elevation here is 3320 ft . Lots of gravel, asphalt, dirt and tundra (not Toyota) makes for interesting flying.
Can you kite up a wall or pole? If not then you shouldn't be flying until you can fine sir. Nobody should fly if they can't active pilot a paraglider first let alone in the middle of the day. Now the height of the wall or pole doesn't matter. So don't go out and try to kite up a 10 ft wall. Try it with a 6 inch wall or just a block, stone or log. Or just put your feet together and hang your butt back over the ground and just try controlling the altitude of your butt give or take 1 inch all without moving your feet. When you can do that then you can work on the 6 inch wall. We don't have people kite up walls to learn they do that as a demonstration of a skill they already mastered. :) Let me know if you need any help on that or have any other questions.
This video was done months ago. Yes we fly all summer no problem. It was near 100 degrees during this video. Doesn't matter what time of year it is what matters is the time, temp and terrain. If it's 100 degrees in Oct it will be exactly the same as 100 degrees in July. No difference.
I definitely agree! Without proper instruction and equipment, you shouldn't be flying in the first place! However, with proper training and equipment, flying in the middle of a summer day is not a problem at all. Pilots do it all the time. Myself included. Paragliders were designed to be flown in the middle of the day during thermic activity. Every pilot should be prepared for turbulence no matter what time of day they fly. Even the calmest mornings can have random pockets of turbulence. Pilots who have little or poor training and are not ready for turbulence have no business being in the air at all. Especially if they are flying dangerous equipment. This is aviation and you CANNOT mess around. You HAVE to have the skills to control the glider at all times and you HAVE to have equipment that is built to keep the pilot safe. PERIOD. Super Training, The Flat Top Ninja, and Dominator are the perfect combination for pilots who wants to have fun flying and be safe while doing it.
You want to check it as soon as is safe immediately after launch just to be sure the bounching of launch or running through weeds or something didn't giggle anything lose. So right about 50+ ft would be where you would do it. Yes the reserve can open in as little as 40 ft.
CAPTAIN FLIGHT JUNKIES IS CERTAINLY AFRAID OF MID DAY FLIGHT ! HE SAYS ONLY SAFE TO FLY EARLY IN THE MORNING BEFORE LAND WARMS UP AND DURING THE EVENING WHEN LAND BECOMES COOL AGAN. LOLOLOL
Yes you nailed it. Those who say such absurd things only admit their complete ignorance of the sport. A paraglider is a glider. It was specifically designed to be flown off mountains in the middle of the day in active thermic conditions. That's what it was made for. So to say you can only fly it early in the morning is absurd but it's worse than that because rough air can happen even early in the morning and late in the evening so it's also a lie trying to deceive people into thinking it's ok to get chucked into the air with zero training or skill if you fly during those times which is also completely false. It's great there is no license in this sport but people need to use their brains to really LOOK at the skill level of those they take advice from in this sport. Those like Kurt Fister, Aviatior ppg, plantetppg... and sooooo many others pretending to be instructors literally can't even do what brand new SUPER students can do: th-cam.com/video/RXC5Jx_URoQ/w-d-xo.html in this sport people need to really look at the skill level of whom they talk to and if looking for instruction LOOK at the skill level of the students people have trained. If you can't find any that also tells you they are training anyone to have any real skills. SUPER training is the only school in the world that I know of teaching true actual skills to properly control the glider. I challenge anyone to SHOW a video of any other school in the world that get's students to the skill level like you see in the SUPER training video. For those that want true and real actual training just call 800-707-2525.
I never heard so much rubbish. I don’t care what your on you hit rotor on a floppy wing you risk flying a bag of washing. Telling people ok to fly in rotor is super bonkers.... I saw a pilot hit rotor behind a pyramid in Egypt and he had a good deflation. Over 30 years of hang gliding and paragliding plus Paramotors now Sorry never heard so much rubbish ...
When the best 2 pilots in the world SHOW you what's possible it makes more sense to learn how to do it yourself from the experts than to talk trash and try to pretend you know more than experts. The fact is you WILL fly through trashy air and you WILL fly through rotor at some point. It's going to happen to you. Right now you have a horrible paramotor and one of the worst paragliders in history and don't have even the most basic skill to properly control it so no of course you are not prepared for what's going to happen to you. No you didn't see a pilot take a deflation behind a pyramid you saw one who doesn't have even the most basic skills who was on terrible gear take a deflation. With real actual skill and the best & safest gear yes you CAN prevent collapses. Just look at my last video where we were intentionally prop washing students wings full throttle and notice they were able to prevent collapses despite the insane wake and prop wash blasted right into their wing. Paragliders were very specifically designed to be flown in mid day active thermic conditions so yes you can fly through insane air and still have the ability to prevent collapses. It just takes real actual SUPER training along with proper gear. You can claim to be a "30 year expert" but how about SHOW even one single video where you kite up a post or wall like you can see brand new SUPER students doing all over youtube. You are literally flying the absolute worst and most deadly gear in all of history and don't have ANY skill to prevent collapses. ZERO!! So of course you think any bumps are deadly as you literally have ZERO skill or ability to prevent collapses. Since you are flying a hoaxflex death trap you have ZERO ability to control how do you suppose you can active pilot the wing? You can't. So even if you were a master pilot which obviously no actual pilot would fly that crap but skill means ZERO on the hoaxflex death traps like you are flying as you have no control of the pitch or loading. Yes one collapse and you WILL die it's only a matter of time on that horrible Ozone death trap hoaxflex wing. Even Ozone admits they should NEVER be flown in any turbulence at all but what they fail to mention is that there is no such thing as perfectly smooth air. Crazy air can happen any time anywhere in any conditions. WHEN it happens those like you flying the absolute worst gear with ZERO ability to control it will die. It's that simple. 6 more just like you died in a matter of weeks ALL on the exact same death trap gear you are flying. Stop flying that crap and get actual SUPER training and learn about the sport and learn what gear CAN actually fly right through insane turbulence without issues. If you knew anything at all about the sport you would know there is no such thing as a paraglider that has reflex. It's impossible since the rear cannot stabilize the front since you CAN'T PUSH A STRING!! A hang glider has reflex because it has physical batons and tubing so the rear can be deflected down which will lift up the nose. This simply doesn't exist on a piece of cloth. Stop pretending to be an expert when you know nothing and have zero ability to prevent a collapse as such foolishness will get you killed just like sooooo many others who like you talked trash to experts instead of listening and then all died exactly how I warned them they would. For those reading this is a perfect example of why so many die. They are exactly like this guy. They pretend like they know more than experts when the facts are so blatantly obvious and simple and logical it's just ridiculous to try to refute them. It's like people trying to claim the earth is flat. It's not the sport that is unsafe it's this exact type of utter foolishness that is unsafe and causes 20 or so deaths per year and rising.
@@DellSchanze What makes you think you are the best pilots You are a danger to students and yourself I have flown Owens Valley and desert conditions, Alpine conditions big mountain conditions. I have seen Hang gliders be turned upside down in rotor Pilots kiss the ground when they survive rotor I have thermaled in rotor many times and believe me its not nice. My friend you know nothing about rotor or flying in the middle of the day in or desert conditions Have some respect for Mother Nature Dont teach flying in rotor is ok because basic aerodynamics says NO floppy wing will stay inflated BASIC ... I have flow as part of the British Team in both hang gliding and paragliding and I can tell from the SUPER rubbish you blurt out you are far from one of the best pilots anywhere in the world. I have lost more friends to free flying sport don't add any more than necessary Everyone reading this ... STAY OUT OF ROTOR. This guy is nuts ....
@@markchick1 We are the best pilots because we can do what no others on earth can do. Feel free to try to beat us in the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships or try to beat any of those things I do all over youtube that nobody else on earth can do. Not only do I have the most experience with way way way way over 11,000 flights and doing what no others on earth can do but I've never once been injured and no SUPER student has ever been injured flying paramotors at SUPER training. So to call the absolute best safety record in the sport a danger is completely moronic and absurd. The FACT is people WILL fly through rotor!!! Nowhere am I encouraging people to fly through rotor I'm simply stating the fact that WHEN people end up in crazy conditions it's really not that big of a deal IF they have SUPER training and proper gear which you don't. You literaly don't have even the most basic skills and literally CAN'T even do what my brand new students can do. Feel free to prove me wrong by SHOWING a video of yourself kite up a post or vertical wall or even just reverse kite no hands or do no hands wing tip drags. You CAN'T because you literally don't have even the most basic skill or understanding of the sport. Of course that is already blatantly obvious based on the simple fact of you flying the absolute worst and most horrifically deadly gear in all of history. I have videos all over youtube SHOWING me collapse test the gliders I fly and recommend both trims up and down. I challenge you to go out and even try to SHOW what's going to happen when your death trap take a collapse trims up. Wolfgang actually tried to collapse test a death trap like yours to show how "safe" they are and WHAP he DIED!!! He is freaking DEAD just doing a basic simple collapse test and he was over 3000 ft with a reserve!!! THAT is how deadly the total crap gear you have is and since you have nothing but minor directional control with "tip steering" your skills are literally ZERO all while you are pretending to fly with bla bla bla teams which would only insult such teams. I live in the desert mountains of Utah and have more videos of my flying than any other paramotor pilot on youtube by a huge margin. You have nothing but talk and ignorance. One of my students by accident and stupidity flew right through the rotor of a huge hotel in well over 20mph winds but despite getting slammed all over the place reacted perfectly as he was taught and flew through it without issue. While this is explained in detail extensively to warn people in the SUPER training ground school only a fool tries to pretend this won't happen to people. Crap WILL happen to people but when they are trained properly and have the best & safest gear in the world the odds are drastically stacked in their favor. SUPER training is the only school in the world teaching real actual active piloting skills while those like you who lie and claim to have been flying 30 years STILL can't even do what a brand new SUPER student can do and you are so incredibly ignorant you are flying a 1980's failed technology wing that eliminates any ability for the pilot to control it and one collapse and you freaking die!!! Then you try to argue with the one doing what no others on earth can do??!! For those reading again this is a perfect example of the types of people that are dying on a near bi-weekly basis. 6 more exactly like this guy just DIED!!! 6 more!!! Over and over and over it's exactly the same!!! They take collapses without any skill or ability to prevent them and when they take collapses on the total death trap horrible gear they fly they do a back flip 180 and lock into a face down spiral right into the ground. ALL of them. Every single one has died in exactly this same manner over and over and even after 6 more DEAD these totally ignorant goofnuts still bash, trash and lie about facts, truth and reality. It's like trying to talk to a Hillary supporter and explain murdering children is wrong. There is no logic, reason or care for fact to those like this. It's not the sport that's unsafe as those with SUPER training and the best & safest gear can fly right through a rotor despite being taught not to. Just flying in a circle back through your wake is enough turbulence to know these ignorant people out of the sky. Just watch the videos where I've SHOWED this happening. Forget being able to fly through rotor, these guys are so ignorant they can't even fly in a circle without dying!!! While there is no possible way to fix stupid so I have no hope of helping these ignorant people who have no skill and still argue with experts I post this in case there are people with brains reading this. In this sport you have a 100% chance you are going to fly through crazy air like a rotor or even worse. 100%!! It WILL happen. Those with real skills and gear though have incredibly high odds to just fly right through it without issues while the ignoramuses will die. Skill and ability are skill and ability. I SHOW what can be done over and over and over then I SHOW the skills of those I've trained. No about of bs or trash talking negates actual facts. It just doesn't. So it doesn't matter how many of these type die on the total crap gear without the slightest ability to properly control a paraglider their deaths have absolutely zero to do with the real actual sport.
@@markchick1 Dude, I've never para-anything and even I can use common sense and KNOW anyone flying a glider or motor is going to hit bad air, rotor, etc. So knowing how to deal with it is the answer. Not just saying stay out of rotor. Come on, dude, use your COMMON sense. Lastly, I don't know Dell, I just started watching his videos. Dell speaks common sense, and obviously has the skills to back up his words. The challenge has been laid out for you, so either step up, post your videos showing you have better skills, and or knowledge, or step off. Cause from what I'm reading by you, you're embarrassing yourself. You may not like Dell's braggadocios personality, but the dude backs it up with skills all of use can watch on these videos. I've been watching these paramotor videos for a couple months now, I have seen ANYONE exhibit the skills Dell has shown. He talks big and backs it up. If I do decide to get into this sport, I will be attending SUPER TRAINING, and buying a Flat top and dominator. All anyone has to do is their own research and they will come to the same conclusion I did. Proof is in the pudding. Dell has proof in spades.
@@factman4766 Thanks for your comment. These people are like democrats though they just don't give one crap about truth and hate facts so much they will talk endless trash to try to distract people from the facts. I have many videos where I fly through rotor on purpose to show it's not that big of a deal with proper gear and skills. It's very rare for one with SUPER skills and the best gear like the Dominator to take a collapse. It can happen it's just very rare. That's why we fly wings like the Dominator though so that if and when it does happen the Dominator is designed to just pop right back out and keep on flying. Without SUPER skills one is thousands and thousands of times more likely to take a collapse because they simply don't have the reflexes or skills to prevent it. There is only one school in the world teaching these skills and that's SUPER training. As always by all means let see the videos from anyone at all to prove I'm wrong. I wish there were other instructors doing a good job as I would love to recommend them. Let's see it. Let's see anyone else's new students kiting up a wall or pole like you see SUPER students or just reverse kiting no hands. If you can't do it then you can't deal with higher winds and don't know how to deal with lighter wings or even how to properly control a glider at all. Skill is skill. All the trash talking is worthless and idiotic. Either others can SHOW the skills of their students or they can't. Those offended by the truth don't belong in aviation at all.
GREAT AERIAL VÍDEO PARAMOTOR EXPLORER OVER THE TOP MILLENIAL DESERT ROCK,...... SIMILAR "NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC" EPISODE,......DELL SCHANZE STYLE,....👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌎👍👍👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🇵🇷🇵🇷
You’re like the crazy dude who is actually right and not actually crazy. Just crazy about facts. But when the market is saturated with snake oil and lies it takes a guy like you.
How many hours of flying would you suggest to someone before they take to flying thermally conditions. I am sure everyone is different in their skills. But is not the heavier loading a bigger concern vs a freeflight wing and angle of attack also?
@@csleclerc57 I mentioned that in this video. You should be able to at least climb a vertical wall and kite on top with one foot or be able to kite up a pole. If you can't then you really should not be flying at all period let alone during the day in the desert. It's not about years because those who learned wrong just keep doing it wrong over and over year after year. Just look at scammers like Kurt Fister. He has been scamming people for 15 years and still can't even do what a brand new 2nd day SUPER students can do. So base it off what you can do. Either you can kite up a wall or fence or you can't. That would be a bare minimum. Really everyone should keep coming through SUPER training until they can kite up a pole. If you can kite up a pole and balance yourself on the top perfectly using he glider then you have the skill to truly active pilot the wing and fly in pretty much any conditions with very very little risk. Those who try to fly without these skills simply do not have the reflexes it takes to prevent collapses and so it would make no sense to fly at all let alone mid day. Sadly there is only one school in the world teaching this level of skill to students. That's SUPER training with me personally. 800-707-2525. I challenge any other school to show their instructors doing this let alone their students. Very few acting as instructors can even do what SUPER students can do. When you learn all the perfected technique right up front and practice them into reflex it is absolutely incredible what you can do and how quickly you progress. Logically there is no reason at all to be flying without this level of skill. For people that want to fly just come through SUPER training and do it right. Getting the best training in the world is never going to be a bad thing for sure. Plus being on the right gear is also absolutely critical. It's not so much the size of wing although that does matter as well it's the type of wing that makes the biggest difference. You just can't afford to take a major collapse near the ground. Most wings take at least 30-60 feet to recover from a collapse. The Dominator can recover without any real loss of altitude at all. It's just mind blowing how safe it is. It's also so incredibly efficient the 16sm Dominator can out glide and has a lower sink rate than the 29sm Nucleon. 16sm vs 29sm and the Dominator blows it away. It's really hard for people to comprehend how good the Dominator is until they try it. The Dominator literally has no competitors. Nothing else is even comparable.
SUPER Trevor is the #2 pilot in the world right now behind me. He can control altitude give or take one inch so if he was 5 FEET away it wasn't even remotely close. The control and precision possible with a Flat Top & Dominator it truly incredible.
@@joelbadger9661 Let's see you beat him: th-cam.com/video/ct0Pl4wazFs/w-d-xo.html Bahahahha you can't even remotely come close to beating him!! Let's see you SHOW a video of anyone else beating him.... Bahahahahha you can't even SHOW 1 single video of anyone else in the world who can beat him. BAHAHAHAHAHHAA you don't even have 1 single video on your entire FAKE account BAHAHHAHAHAHAAAHAHAAA you can't even fly let alone compete with the #2 pilot in the world BAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA and what's even more funny is that you NEVER EVER WILL because you have no honor and I have no interest in training those who have no honor. BAHAHAHAHHA so now you are totally screwed and will never ever be able to become a skilled paramotor pilot. EVER!! For anyone reading this LOOK at the date. When it's 10 YEARS from now notice the trash talking losers still can't even remotely come close to doing what you can see brand new SUPER students doing all over youtube. BAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! For those interested in the sport take a good look at this because this is a perfect example of the types of deplorables out there. They bash, trash and lie trying to deceive people away from the facts in every possible way but one click on their name and presto the FACTS are obvious. They are nothing but fake account nobodies who can't even fly. In this sport it's absolutely critical to LOOK at the skill of whom you are talking to as taking advice from fake account nobodies who can't even fly will get you killed.
As a pilot - You have to be correct all the time; that giant rock you and your buddy are straddling only has to be right once. Most pilots will tell confidence is key but arrogance gets you killed.
Unnecessary risk for most paraglider pilots - but I’ll watch form the comfort of my couch until the moment comes.
Ah yea the best pilot in the world with way way way over 11,000 flights without injury is taking unnecessary risks by flying around a rock... ummm okey dokey. You are the one taking unnecessary risks sitting in front of thousands of computer components all built by the lowest bidder and all hooked up to 120v. You are more likely to stub your toe and break it on your coffee table than I am to break a toe flying.
It has been 9 years since I was in Utah and you are still the best pilot that I have seen..
In the beginning, your camera was pixelating in such a way that it looked like Trevor was breaking the sound barrier, lol. Trippy!
Big huge rock is known as Church Rock by the locals. The hole in front is a man made grain storage for the cattle ranchers.
Hi Dell, do you discuss flying conditions during the day in your training? Also, do you discuss how to recover from a collapse and other recovery techniques? Thanks
Yes all of that is part of the ground school that you receive when you go through SUPER training. Plus you don't just hear about how to respond to collapses you actually experience them thousands and thousands of times safely on the ground where you work how to respond to them into reflexes so you don't even have to think about it. Telling someone how to respond to collapses is like telling someone how to react in a fight. It's pretty much useless without the piles of practice that train the body to respond to it instinctively. SUPER training is sadly the only school in the world truly doing this. You should be able to kite that glider all day long and never ever ever take a collapse. If you can't do this we don't put you in the air until you can. Just watch the piles of videos of SUPER students kiting up a vertical wall for example. That is exactly the same skill it takes to actively pilot the glider. It's also exactly the same skill it takes to make perfect launches & landings as well because that precision of loading control is what it takes to maintain a perfect altitude give or take 1 inch. No other paragliding/paramotoring school out there teaches true and real skills like this and as a result, people take collapses all over the place and it gets very ugly. 99% of the issues like that can be prevented with SUPER training and the best & safest gear. The skill level people attain through SUPER training is truly a completely different level from anything else. In order to get 25-60 HOURS of glider control though you need 25-60 hours of wind. Trying to get that many hours in Ohio or Colorado or anywhere inland would literally take 1-2 years. Only at the perfect beach can we get that many hours of glider control and then rock upwards of 500+ flights on top of it in just 10 days. Hope this helps. Just call 800-707-2525 if you ever want to discuss anything in more detail.
Great flight and vid as per the usual fine sir, I loved the weight shift laugh at 20:04. One has to go thru super training to fully understand the joy a well executed landing and taxi brings.
Latest news out of Commiefornia-
“Dell Shanze prosecuted for kicking a rock while flying.
Hey!! I've been wondering, are you planning to built a bigger trike, maybe a two person trike, something like the Xcitor??
Definite no on the big huge honking trike as they would require a special license in the US and with that much weight and bulk you would be very limited in the conditions you can fly in. So what we have is an extremely lightweight trike that we make a tandem kit for so you have the lightest possible weight and best possible design allowing one to fly in pretty much any conditions. With huge heavy units they tend to oscillate all over in turbulence so it's important to have the weight in close around the center as much as possible. The Flat Top Ninja will carry over 600 lbs so with a 36 lb tandem capable trike the weight it can carry is truly incredible.
@@DellSchanze thank you for your answer Mr. Schanze. I would highly encourage you to built something bigger for people who live outside the US. After doing lots of research, i think you have the best equipmets and the best SUPER training..i would love to get proper training, obvously at your school in a few years but i like tamdem flights more because you are able to share your passion and love of flying with others.
@@jochycastillo4500 Umm I just explained why you don't want a huge heavy trike as they are unsafe. Since there is no such thing as "perfectly smooth air" and crazy conditions can happen ANY time it's absolutely critical to fly with a unit designed to be able to deal with the worst of conditions. Flying tandem is no problem at all. You absolutely do not want a super heavy unit as it changes the whole dynamics. In this sport it's very important to listen very closely to what the true experts are saying. Come take SUPER training and I'll have you rocking the skies and equipped correctly to deal with anything. So WHEN you get hit with that 30-35mph gust front you just fly right through it no problem and continue having fun. SUPER training is the only school in the world that can get people from never having touched a glider to tandem instructor level in just 10 days. It's truly incredible how quickly you can progress when you have the very best giving you every detail of exactly what's what and how to do things. :) Just call me at 800-707-2525 or email ppghero@gmail.com You just won't see those with huge heavy units flying hardly at all let alone during the day. They severely limit you to only fly in wind below 8mph. Since it's impossible to guarantee wind that light at any time there is zero reason to even have an aircraft that is sold as a dream and not a reality. If you want to fly anywhere and do anything you gotta train with those who can and do.
@@DellSchanze okk, i understand know..well i will keep the flat top as my number one option. Thank you, i will get in contact with your office when i am ready to start my training. Have a nice day.
@@DellSchanze i understand your point and i trust your advise. Thank you.
When it is 100 degrees is the air hotter or cooler up above? In the cooler weather we hear people say that it is much colder when they are up in the air. Is it much cooler on a hot day as well? Thanks.
Normally yes it gets colder about 3 degrees each 1000 ft you climb. In an inversion it actually gets warming as you climb though. So it depends on the day.
@@DellSchanze
Thanks very much for getting back to me. I'm in the desert so I was wondering about that. I am just thinking about getting into paramotoring and I just learned about the Flattop and its great safety reputation. I'm definitely going to be looking into a safe unit like that. Thanks again.
@@notsosilentmajority1 The main thing about this sport is to look very closely at the skill level of whom you talk to. Forget "reputation" as each comment for or against something must be valued only by the skill and competency of the one saying it. There are just so many liars out there you have to be very careful to ONLY accept advice and input from those who truly are the best. Before you take advice from anyone in this sport demand they SHOW a video of themselves doing things like in this video of me: th-cam.com/video/1gLA5T0x73c/w-d-xo.html You don't get to be the best without massive experience and you don't get massive experience if you are dead. So you gotta figure that following with what the very best does will be far more likely to keep you alive and give capability others don't have. Just call me at 800-707-2525. Also when looking for training once again always always look at the skill level of the students: th-cam.com/video/RXC5Jx_URoQ/w-d-xo.html if they are truly training people with real actual skills then they should have the videos to show for it. If they refuse to send any videos and claim they don't have anything to prove then you know they are a scammer. Sadly there are so many scammers it really jacks up the image of the sport when in fact this sport is truly incredible and amazingly safe if you simply get the right gear and training like we use.
@@DellSchanze
Thanks man, I appreciate that. I will give you a call and check out some of the videos you sent links for. Thanks again.
Fun to watch and got a thermal technique tip.
Thank you
Really,? Seemed like he was having trouble. Didnt have an altitude beepy thing so couldn't tell
am i rigth if i say that MidDay flying is safe but the majority of critics fly superbig beginnerwings that react much worse and do not keep the same high pressure as a smaller wing and therefor is much more prone to collapses, and such?
Dell you are awesome man! been watching you for years!
No actually the glider size makes very little difference as long as you have a Dominator. It's primarily skill level that allows you to fly through anything without issues. Most out there pretending to be instructors literally don't have even the most basic skill or understanding of the sport themselves. The skill to prevent collapses is learned very safely from the ground at SUPER training as we do 25-60 HOURS of kiting as we build every single detail of glider control into reflexes. If you can prevent collapses on the ground then you can prevent collapses in the air. At SUPER training you will be able to kite all day in any conditions without ever even once taking a collapse. The second you attain this skill level on the ground then and only then do we move to the flying part. If you can kite up a pole the odds of you taking a collapse are very very small as it's exactly the same active piloting skill. It's all about controlling loading and altitude give or take 1 inch while also controlling direction withing an inch of perfection. Then in the air if the glider gets slammed you will automatically maintain that same perfect level of loading and direction. It's pretty incredible what you can do when you graduate SUPER training. If you look at this video where my son set the world record as the youngest paramotor pilot in history at age 10 you can see that later in the video he kites up a pole. So he literally had mastery level skills before he ever took his first flight. That's why he makes it look so incredibly simple and stable. Just call 800-707-2525 when you want to fly as it's seriously the coolest thing you will ever do IF you get this specific gear and training.
@@DellSchanze thanks for response! Keep on posting awesome vids :D take care
@@GryteselvFPV No problem at all man. Anytime. Let me know if you have any other questions. Or feel free to call anytime at 800-707-2525.
Super Dell ya hooooo......!
Nice video Dell!
Please keep it up we wait for them.
What beautiful country I wish we had some area like that here in canada trees everywhere lol
Why not fly during the day...as long as it's not 50 mph winds..
Well paragliders are very specifically designed to be flown in the middle of the day off the mountains. Those without proper training or gear though just don't have the active piloting skills required to keep their gliders under control. So they are scared to death at the slightest thermic activity. Those with SUPER training along with Flat Tops & Dominators have a completely different experience in the sport than others. It's truly remarkable what you can do when you have the very best gear and training.
what did you think that owl was when you gave it a swift kick?
I didn't kick any owls. That was a lie made up from a competitor intentionally to drag me down. The man who fabricated that lie was very unstable mentally. We had a disagreement and he did everything he could to destroy my life and business. The lie he made up about the owl was outrageous. I love owls and all other birds. They fly with us all the time. Any paramotor pilot can tell you just how fun it is to fly alongside birds.
Hey Dell can you explain more about weight shifting one direction while adding brake the opposite direction? You mentioned that in this video while you were riding the thermal. I still don’t understand why you do that. Maybe you could do a video explaining that technique??
Howdy fine sir! In a thermal you want your glider as flat as possible to maximize lift. The more sideways the glider is the higher your sink rate and therefore the lower your climb rate. So I weight shift hard to make the turn but then use the opposite brake to prevent it from diving into the turn to help it stay more level while turning. Just a bit of a trick from paragliding without a motor to make the most of the lift you get. Let me know if you have any more questions at all.
@@DellSchanze very well explained, thank you
@@DellSchanze
So basically, you brake hard on one side and brake less on the other side, just to keep the glider flat ?
@@etiennelavigueur2955 No you weight shift one way and then use brake on the other side to help keep it flat. There are different tricks to doing that as well we can share.
Hi. What about daytime and clouds. I see you had no clouds. Thx
Clouds are our friends. :)
Just don't get no bettttttter!!!
Do you think you can land and take off from the top of that rock which you referred to as resembling a Sphynx
Yes no problem. I can even land on a pole and take back off again. :)
Your a amazing skills del
Pretty nice video, but do you get like a quarter every time you say dominator?
No but I get incredible blessings from God every time I save someone's life by sharing these facts. In fact not one single SUPER training in all of history has ever been ruined by bad weather. Just getting a day 10 class without it getting rained out or something is pretty miraculous but never not even once in all of history? Yes it pays to do what's right and tell the truth so God's got your back.
@@DellSchanze you are probably right. When do you give lessons near San Diego so I can come over and see you guys if you allow me?
@@mamatuja You can't really do training in San Diego which is why we used to go down into Mexico for the flight training on the empty beaches. They changed their rules though and now require you to purchase a visa to go down there and that requires a passport that not everyone has. So now we do SUPER training near Corpus Christi Texas which is a much better location than Mexico was. It's so good we just had a student set a new world record knocking out 530 flights by the end of his 10 days of SUPER training. So you would want to just hop on a plane and come through SUPER training yourself instead of just watching. It's the funnest vacation you will ever take and you can literally come back with better than expert level skills. Just give me a call anytime at 800-707-2525 to reserve a spot.
I wish i could be learn how to fly midday but i have had it drilled into me that you cant fly midday i got a sky k2 think very similar to the donimater
Same glider! Go fly mid day! It's totally safe if you have the skills and the gear. Sounds like you have the right glider so now ask yourself if you have the skills!
@@DellSchanze not got your skills del dont have any training school in England with your skills
Total agree what the wing is designed for!! Also if paramotoring in mid-day, just to make it a little easier to find the thermals. And know when you getting a good one, or a weak one and follow them even if you can't see them. Have this on the comfort bars on the other side? Variometer nice addition to a true pilot? happy flying!!!
A vario can be helpful if you are really trying to do nothing but rely on lift and have to use every possible thermal even if it's weaker but generally, once you gain some experience you can feel yourself going up and feel where the lift is if it's a bit stronger.
@@DellSchanze WELL SINCE IN MAY BE YEARS UNTIL, AM UP TO YOUR LEVEL SO, EVER LITTLE BIT HELPS TO MAKE IT A HAPPY AND MOST OF ALL A SAFE FLIGHT WELL IT LIKE A GUN? LOL! "SET THE STANDARD, THEN BE THE STANDARD!" HAPPY FLYING!!
Necesito comprar xxs dominator paragliding
The Dominator is the ultimate. Incredible safety and performance in the same glider.
I set the paramotor world speed record with the 19.75sm Dominator at 51mph. th-cam.com/video/IRxBiR8NHZI/w-d-xo.html
Can you fly in Summer mid day or after noon same way as in winter's noon?
Yes. With SUPER skills that come through SUPER training specifically and with the very best gear which is the Flat Top & Dominator you can pretty much fly when ever the heck you want in most any conditions other than bad weather. Now once the temps drop down below 50 or so you don't generally get as much thermic activity so not only can you fly all day in the winder but it's usually quite smooth. In the desert in summer you can still fly during the day but there will be more activity. It doesn't really matter it's just something to be aware of. So like in this video where we are in about 100 degree temps in the desert mountains of southern Utah it's really no big deal. In fact even in the summer in the mountains it's can be decently smooth as it's not like you are hitting thermals constantly ever second. Now while this is all true you have to read the part about SUPER skills and SUPER training specifically as so many think they have skills when they absolutely do not. So like in this video where I state qualifiers like being able to kite up a vertical wall: th-cam.com/video/geha95mEtoY/w-d-xo.html if you cannot even do this let alone the many other things SUPER students can do then no you absolutely should not be flying at all let alone flying during the day. All too often you hear people say "oh we only fly in perfectly smooth air". Well this only shows their complete and total ignorance and shows just how clearly they absolutely should not be flying at all until they actually graduate SUPER training as there is no such thing as "perfectly smooth air". Even on a calm cold winter morning you can get slammed with crazy turbulence and conditions are constantly changing so while one can try to stay in better conditions one absolutely should be prepared for anything with true and real skills and the very best gear to deal with it. I've taken 80% collapses in "perfectly smooth air" flying along without a ripple in the sky and WHAP!! I've taken a 90% collapse on a cool winter morning without a ripple in the sky and WHAP!! For a pilot with SUPER skills to take a collapse is extremely rare but SUPER skills are not just about preventing a collapse they are also the reflexes trained in to then respond instantly to the collapse and every single time I've been slammed I just popped it right back out and kept on flying no problem at all. That while you can watch those without proper gear or SUPER skills pound in face first all over youtube. 7 more just DIED because they didn't get SUPER training and so didn't have even the most basic skills and all of them on total death trap gliders they call "reflex" which are not actually reflex since there is no such thing as reflex to any paraglider. So your real question that you are asking I would imagine is more of a question of safety and yes absolutely you can fly pretty much anywhere anytime with absolutely incredible safety IF you gain the right skills and fly exactly the gear I very specifically recommend based on all of my experience. In all of history only 1 single person has ever died on the safest gear and that was from attempting acrobatics he had not been trained to do so low to the ground he didn't have time to recover when he messed up and he basically looped himself face first into the ground. So 1 single death in all of history and it wasn't from turbulence or an issue with the gear. 99.9% of the deaths are very specifically because of people not having even the most basic ability to active pilot a glider correctly and horrible gear. So as long as you do gain the ability to do things like I just SHOWED very specifically in that video and as long as I personally as your instructor tell you are good to go and as long as you fly exactly the gear I recommend for you specifically along with the exact glider size I personally recommend for you then yes your safety is incredibly high summer or winter or anywhere. This aircraft, as in the Flat Top paramotor specifically, is one of the most incredibly versatile and capable and safest ever created. That's why and how I have way way way way over 11,000 flights pushing all the limits and doing things nobody else on earth can do all without a single injury. It's why you can see me flying right in the middle of the day in 100+ degree temps in the desert mountains with my kids all without issues. So for anyone that wants to actually enjoy this sport as fully and as safely as possible I am the best guy to call and I can be reached at 800-707-2525. Sadly I'm the ONLY guy to call. I wish there were others I could recommend but they simply don't exist. I'm always open to someone SHOWING another instructor training people and equipping them properly though as that would be awesome to see. I would love to recommend others beside myself if they can be shown to exist. Until that time though it would be highly unwise to trust one's life to anyone other than me personally.
@@DellSchanze Thanks for an elaborate explanation!
@@PhoenixBoy749 You are welcome. Hopefully it will save someone's life who might not have checked their instructor's skill level or the skill level of those they had trained before trusting their life to them.
@@DellSchanze one more query, I have 150 feet long ground surrounded by 25feet trees on all sides. Can I get airborne above that without difficulty?
@@PhoenixBoy749 There are many variables such as wind and wind direction but in zero wind you can get off the ground in only 20-30 ft and the Flat Top Ninja can climb in a spiral so 150 ft should be no problem at all once you have the skills and that specific gear. Here is a video of what a tight launch would look like: th-cam.com/video/aFpdS-Nk1l4/w-d-xo.html
can someone explain me about the dominator wing? is this a c wing or what is it?
The Dominator is the safest class of wing and even exceeds the safest class but it also has the best performance and capability. So you get the ultimate of worth worlds by getting the funnest performance while at the same time maintaining the highest level of safety. Plus it allows you to fly pretty much anywhere anytime where others are extremely limited in when and where they can fly. SUPER skills along with a Flat Top & Dominator is a completely different sport from what others experience. It's quite incredible. It's just not fun flying death traps wings knowing that at any second you could take collapse and the wing will back flip 180 straight at the ground so fast that a Macpara Charger hoaxflex death trap wing literally ejected the pilot right out of the harness and he fell to his death. It's hard to comprehend how anyone could fly wings like that at all. The Dominator is in a class all by itself.
someone told me if you fly on mid day will die!
They lied! You sure can!
SELL ME A PLOT OF LAND NEXT DOOR WILL BRING MOTOR HOME AND BECOME FLIGHT DECIPLE.....LET FLY BABY!!!!
22:22 I dont fly but that is bs. Thermaling is different than coasting off a calm hii to the bottom with no lift. That is gliding
It's not bs. It's straight up truth. Feel free to ask questions though if you don't understand something.
Generally we refer to all soaring (thermaling and mechanical lift) as soaring. A flight without lift is typically referred to as a "sled run". "Gliding" is a generic term much like "Flying", it's just referring to flying without propulsion.
@@entelin Yes but none of that changes what I shared. Plus if you are not even a paramotor pilot it makes no sense to try to share your knowledge about that which you admit to know nothing about. It's much much much much safer to fly a Flat Top paramotor that to just free fly. Plus you can learn to core thermals 100 times faster with a Flat Top paramotor than you can free flying. With free flying you get maybe one flight and then have to hike all the way back up and possibly miss the flying window so all you get is one flight and one chance. With a paramotor you can try over and over and over 100's of times in a row and if you sink out you just fire the motor up and try it again. Plus with a motor we can fly in places no other paraglider pilot has ever flown before. We can find soaring sites to fly in places nobody else can really get to. If we want to just paraglide we hit the kill switch. When we want a second chance to try again we start the motor again. The absolute best and safest way to learn to paraglide is with a motor as a harness. It's far more comfortable and the 57 inch roll cage along with 18 inches of crumple zone under your spine and the ability to choose where you want to land makes it infinitely safer by a huge gigantic margin.
@@DellSchanze My comment was aimed at liberty, not you. I am a hangglider pilot, what I said above is factual, I'm not disagreeing with what you said at 22:22.
I flew my AirTrike yesterday around 11:30 to 1:00 PM Nov. 4, 2019, In 79 degree heat. Does that count?
I also ran out of gas above the high school soccer field and did the emergency power-off landing. A couple
of workers drove me home and to the gas station then back home to mix the oil with the gas. They drove
me back to my trike and watched my take off and got some video. After 20 more minutes of flight, I was
hitting some thermals which I thought was increased wind speed, so I landed. It was calm on the ground!
I could've flown another hour! Elevation here is 3320 ft . Lots of gravel, asphalt, dirt and tundra (not Toyota)
makes for interesting flying.
Can you kite up a wall or pole? If not then you shouldn't be flying until you can fine sir. Nobody should fly if they can't active pilot a paraglider first let alone in the middle of the day. Now the height of the wall or pole doesn't matter. So don't go out and try to kite up a 10 ft wall. Try it with a 6 inch wall or just a block, stone or log. Or just put your feet together and hang your butt back over the ground and just try controlling the altitude of your butt give or take 1 inch all without moving your feet. When you can do that then you can work on the 6 inch wall. We don't have people kite up walls to learn they do that as a demonstration of a skill they already mastered. :) Let me know if you need any help on that or have any other questions.
Sniff that rock, and see if it Sphinx! 🤣😂
Can you do 2 pm in july and not november
This video was done months ago. Yes we fly all summer no problem. It was near 100 degrees during this video. Doesn't matter what time of year it is what matters is the time, temp and terrain. If it's 100 degrees in Oct it will be exactly the same as 100 degrees in July. No difference.
I see Trevor's having a little bit of trouble with reflex wings
@@DellSchanze I know I was just talking foolish
Not recommended....
I definitely agree! Without proper instruction and equipment, you shouldn't be flying in the first place! However, with proper training and equipment, flying in the middle of a summer day is not a problem at all. Pilots do it all the time. Myself included. Paragliders were designed to be flown in the middle of the day during thermic activity. Every pilot should be prepared for turbulence no matter what time of day they fly. Even the calmest mornings can have random pockets of turbulence. Pilots who have little or poor training and are not ready for turbulence have no business being in the air at all. Especially if they are flying dangerous equipment.
This is aviation and you CANNOT mess around. You HAVE to have the skills to control the glider at all times and you HAVE to have equipment that is built to keep the pilot safe. PERIOD.
Super Training, The Flat Top Ninja, and Dominator are the perfect combination for pilots who wants to have fun flying and be safe while doing it.
2:40 I've never flown but checking your reserve there would seem erelavent? Why not wait till reserve altitude?
You want to check it as soon as is safe immediately after launch just to be sure the bounching of launch or running through weeds or something didn't giggle anything lose. So right about 50+ ft would be where you would do it. Yes the reserve can open in as little as 40 ft.
Lets go flying!!!!
LMAO 🤣😂😅🤣🇺🇸
CAPTAIN FLIGHT JUNKIES IS CERTAINLY AFRAID OF MID DAY FLIGHT ! HE SAYS ONLY SAFE TO FLY EARLY IN THE MORNING BEFORE LAND WARMS UP AND DURING THE EVENING WHEN LAND BECOMES COOL AGAN. LOLOLOL
Yes you nailed it. Those who say such absurd things only admit their complete ignorance of the sport. A paraglider is a glider. It was specifically designed to be flown off mountains in the middle of the day in active thermic conditions. That's what it was made for. So to say you can only fly it early in the morning is absurd but it's worse than that because rough air can happen even early in the morning and late in the evening so it's also a lie trying to deceive people into thinking it's ok to get chucked into the air with zero training or skill if you fly during those times which is also completely false. It's great there is no license in this sport but people need to use their brains to really LOOK at the skill level of those they take advice from in this sport. Those like Kurt Fister, Aviatior ppg, plantetppg... and sooooo many others pretending to be instructors literally can't even do what brand new SUPER students can do: th-cam.com/video/RXC5Jx_URoQ/w-d-xo.html in this sport people need to really look at the skill level of whom they talk to and if looking for instruction LOOK at the skill level of the students people have trained. If you can't find any that also tells you they are training anyone to have any real skills. SUPER training is the only school in the world that I know of teaching true actual skills to properly control the glider. I challenge anyone to SHOW a video of any other school in the world that get's students to the skill level like you see in the SUPER training video. For those that want true and real actual training just call 800-707-2525.
Loud mouth!
Yes those that speak up loudly for the truth people's lives depend on are greatly blessed for it.
I never heard so much rubbish. I don’t care what your on you hit rotor on a floppy wing you risk flying a bag of washing.
Telling people ok to fly in rotor is super bonkers....
I saw a pilot hit rotor behind a pyramid in Egypt and he had a good deflation.
Over 30 years of hang gliding and paragliding plus Paramotors now
Sorry never heard so much rubbish ...
When the best 2 pilots in the world SHOW you what's possible it makes more sense to learn how to do it yourself from the experts than to talk trash and try to pretend you know more than experts. The fact is you WILL fly through trashy air and you WILL fly through rotor at some point. It's going to happen to you. Right now you have a horrible paramotor and one of the worst paragliders in history and don't have even the most basic skill to properly control it so no of course you are not prepared for what's going to happen to you. No you didn't see a pilot take a deflation behind a pyramid you saw one who doesn't have even the most basic skills who was on terrible gear take a deflation. With real actual skill and the best & safest gear yes you CAN prevent collapses. Just look at my last video where we were intentionally prop washing students wings full throttle and notice they were able to prevent collapses despite the insane wake and prop wash blasted right into their wing. Paragliders were very specifically designed to be flown in mid day active thermic conditions so yes you can fly through insane air and still have the ability to prevent collapses. It just takes real actual SUPER training along with proper gear. You can claim to be a "30 year expert" but how about SHOW even one single video where you kite up a post or wall like you can see brand new SUPER students doing all over youtube. You are literally flying the absolute worst and most deadly gear in all of history and don't have ANY skill to prevent collapses. ZERO!! So of course you think any bumps are deadly as you literally have ZERO skill or ability to prevent collapses. Since you are flying a hoaxflex death trap you have ZERO ability to control how do you suppose you can active pilot the wing? You can't. So even if you were a master pilot which obviously no actual pilot would fly that crap but skill means ZERO on the hoaxflex death traps like you are flying as you have no control of the pitch or loading. Yes one collapse and you WILL die it's only a matter of time on that horrible Ozone death trap hoaxflex wing. Even Ozone admits they should NEVER be flown in any turbulence at all but what they fail to mention is that there is no such thing as perfectly smooth air. Crazy air can happen any time anywhere in any conditions. WHEN it happens those like you flying the absolute worst gear with ZERO ability to control it will die. It's that simple. 6 more just like you died in a matter of weeks ALL on the exact same death trap gear you are flying. Stop flying that crap and get actual SUPER training and learn about the sport and learn what gear CAN actually fly right through insane turbulence without issues. If you knew anything at all about the sport you would know there is no such thing as a paraglider that has reflex. It's impossible since the rear cannot stabilize the front since you CAN'T PUSH A STRING!! A hang glider has reflex because it has physical batons and tubing so the rear can be deflected down which will lift up the nose. This simply doesn't exist on a piece of cloth. Stop pretending to be an expert when you know nothing and have zero ability to prevent a collapse as such foolishness will get you killed just like sooooo many others who like you talked trash to experts instead of listening and then all died exactly how I warned them they would. For those reading this is a perfect example of why so many die. They are exactly like this guy. They pretend like they know more than experts when the facts are so blatantly obvious and simple and logical it's just ridiculous to try to refute them. It's like people trying to claim the earth is flat. It's not the sport that is unsafe it's this exact type of utter foolishness that is unsafe and causes 20 or so deaths per year and rising.
@@DellSchanze What makes you think you are the best pilots
You are a danger to students and yourself
I have flown Owens Valley and desert conditions, Alpine conditions big mountain conditions.
I have seen Hang gliders be turned upside down in rotor Pilots kiss the ground when they survive rotor
I have thermaled in rotor many times and believe me its not nice.
My friend you know nothing about rotor or flying in the middle of the day in or desert conditions
Have some respect for Mother Nature
Dont teach flying in rotor is ok because basic aerodynamics says NO floppy wing will stay inflated BASIC ...
I have flow as part of the British Team in both hang gliding and paragliding and I can tell from the SUPER rubbish you blurt out you are far from one of the best pilots anywhere in the world.
I have lost more friends to free flying sport don't add any more than necessary
Everyone reading this ... STAY OUT OF ROTOR.
This guy is nuts ....
@@markchick1 We are the best pilots because we can do what no others on earth can do. Feel free to try to beat us in the WPPGA Paramotor World Championships or try to beat any of those things I do all over youtube that nobody else on earth can do. Not only do I have the most experience with way way way way over 11,000 flights and doing what no others on earth can do but I've never once been injured and no SUPER student has ever been injured flying paramotors at SUPER training. So to call the absolute best safety record in the sport a danger is completely moronic and absurd. The FACT is people WILL fly through rotor!!! Nowhere am I encouraging people to fly through rotor I'm simply stating the fact that WHEN people end up in crazy conditions it's really not that big of a deal IF they have SUPER training and proper gear which you don't. You literaly don't have even the most basic skills and literally CAN'T even do what my brand new students can do. Feel free to prove me wrong by SHOWING a video of yourself kite up a post or vertical wall or even just reverse kite no hands or do no hands wing tip drags. You CAN'T because you literally don't have even the most basic skill or understanding of the sport. Of course that is already blatantly obvious based on the simple fact of you flying the absolute worst and most horrifically deadly gear in all of history. I have videos all over youtube SHOWING me collapse test the gliders I fly and recommend both trims up and down. I challenge you to go out and even try to SHOW what's going to happen when your death trap take a collapse trims up. Wolfgang actually tried to collapse test a death trap like yours to show how "safe" they are and WHAP he DIED!!! He is freaking DEAD just doing a basic simple collapse test and he was over 3000 ft with a reserve!!! THAT is how deadly the total crap gear you have is and since you have nothing but minor directional control with "tip steering" your skills are literally ZERO all while you are pretending to fly with bla bla bla teams which would only insult such teams. I live in the desert mountains of Utah and have more videos of my flying than any other paramotor pilot on youtube by a huge margin. You have nothing but talk and ignorance.
One of my students by accident and stupidity flew right through the rotor of a huge hotel in well over 20mph winds but despite getting slammed all over the place reacted perfectly as he was taught and flew through it without issue. While this is explained in detail extensively to warn people in the SUPER training ground school only a fool tries to pretend this won't happen to people. Crap WILL happen to people but when they are trained properly and have the best & safest gear in the world the odds are drastically stacked in their favor. SUPER training is the only school in the world teaching real actual active piloting skills while those like you who lie and claim to have been flying 30 years STILL can't even do what a brand new SUPER student can do and you are so incredibly ignorant you are flying a 1980's failed technology wing that eliminates any ability for the pilot to control it and one collapse and you freaking die!!! Then you try to argue with the one doing what no others on earth can do??!! For those reading again this is a perfect example of the types of people that are dying on a near bi-weekly basis. 6 more exactly like this guy just DIED!!! 6 more!!! Over and over and over it's exactly the same!!! They take collapses without any skill or ability to prevent them and when they take collapses on the total death trap horrible gear they fly they do a back flip 180 and lock into a face down spiral right into the ground. ALL of them. Every single one has died in exactly this same manner over and over and even after 6 more DEAD these totally ignorant goofnuts still bash, trash and lie about facts, truth and reality. It's like trying to talk to a Hillary supporter and explain murdering children is wrong. There is no logic, reason or care for fact to those like this. It's not the sport that's unsafe as those with SUPER training and the best & safest gear can fly right through a rotor despite being taught not to. Just flying in a circle back through your wake is enough turbulence to know these ignorant people out of the sky. Just watch the videos where I've SHOWED this happening. Forget being able to fly through rotor, these guys are so ignorant they can't even fly in a circle without dying!!! While there is no possible way to fix stupid so I have no hope of helping these ignorant people who have no skill and still argue with experts I post this in case there are people with brains reading this.
In this sport you have a 100% chance you are going to fly through crazy air like a rotor or even worse. 100%!! It WILL happen. Those with real skills and gear though have incredibly high odds to just fly right through it without issues while the ignoramuses will die. Skill and ability are skill and ability. I SHOW what can be done over and over and over then I SHOW the skills of those I've trained. No about of bs or trash talking negates actual facts. It just doesn't. So it doesn't matter how many of these type die on the total crap gear without the slightest ability to properly control a paraglider their deaths have absolutely zero to do with the real actual sport.
@@markchick1 Dude, I've never para-anything and even I can use common sense and KNOW anyone flying a glider or motor is going to hit bad air, rotor, etc. So knowing how to deal with it is the answer. Not just saying stay out of rotor. Come on, dude, use your COMMON sense.
Lastly, I don't know Dell, I just started watching his videos. Dell speaks common sense, and obviously has the skills to back up his words. The challenge has been laid out for you, so either step up, post your videos showing you have better skills, and or knowledge, or step off. Cause from what I'm reading by you, you're embarrassing yourself. You may not like Dell's braggadocios personality, but the dude backs it up with skills all of use can watch on these videos.
I've been watching these paramotor videos for a couple months now, I have seen ANYONE exhibit the skills Dell has shown. He talks big and backs it up. If I do decide to get into this sport, I will be attending SUPER TRAINING, and buying a Flat top and dominator. All anyone has to do is their own research and they will come to the same conclusion I did. Proof is in the pudding. Dell has proof in spades.
@@factman4766 Thanks for your comment. These people are like democrats though they just don't give one crap about truth and hate facts so much they will talk endless trash to try to distract people from the facts. I have many videos where I fly through rotor on purpose to show it's not that big of a deal with proper gear and skills. It's very rare for one with SUPER skills and the best gear like the Dominator to take a collapse. It can happen it's just very rare. That's why we fly wings like the Dominator though so that if and when it does happen the Dominator is designed to just pop right back out and keep on flying. Without SUPER skills one is thousands and thousands of times more likely to take a collapse because they simply don't have the reflexes or skills to prevent it. There is only one school in the world teaching these skills and that's SUPER training. As always by all means let see the videos from anyone at all to prove I'm wrong. I wish there were other instructors doing a good job as I would love to recommend them. Let's see it. Let's see anyone else's new students kiting up a wall or pole like you see SUPER students or just reverse kiting no hands. If you can't do it then you can't deal with higher winds and don't know how to deal with lighter wings or even how to properly control a glider at all. Skill is skill. All the trash talking is worthless and idiotic. Either others can SHOW the skills of their students or they can't. Those offended by the truth don't belong in aviation at all.
GREAT AERIAL VÍDEO PARAMOTOR EXPLORER OVER THE TOP MILLENIAL DESERT ROCK,...... SIMILAR "NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC" EPISODE,......DELL SCHANZE STYLE,....👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌎👍👍👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🇵🇷🇵🇷
You’re like the crazy dude who is actually right and not actually crazy. Just crazy about facts. But when the market is saturated with snake oil and lies it takes a guy like you.
12:37 just me or is jr pushing the adrenaline?
1:35 "uphill... Both ways... In 5 feet of snow..."
Yay, you can fly. But that mouth.....
The luke warm shall be spewed forth from my mouth... Real men speak up about the truth. :)
Yeah but that mouth is pure education mixed with loving fun towards his son and his fans!
How many hours of flying would you suggest to someone before they take to flying thermally conditions. I am sure everyone is different in their skills. But is not the heavier loading a bigger concern vs a freeflight wing and angle of attack also?
@@csleclerc57 I mentioned that in this video. You should be able to at least climb a vertical wall and kite on top with one foot or be able to kite up a pole. If you can't then you really should not be flying at all period let alone during the day in the desert. It's not about years because those who learned wrong just keep doing it wrong over and over year after year. Just look at scammers like Kurt Fister. He has been scamming people for 15 years and still can't even do what a brand new 2nd day SUPER students can do. So base it off what you can do. Either you can kite up a wall or fence or you can't. That would be a bare minimum. Really everyone should keep coming through SUPER training until they can kite up a pole. If you can kite up a pole and balance yourself on the top perfectly using he glider then you have the skill to truly active pilot the wing and fly in pretty much any conditions with very very little risk. Those who try to fly without these skills simply do not have the reflexes it takes to prevent collapses and so it would make no sense to fly at all let alone mid day. Sadly there is only one school in the world teaching this level of skill to students. That's SUPER training with me personally. 800-707-2525. I challenge any other school to show their instructors doing this let alone their students. Very few acting as instructors can even do what SUPER students can do. When you learn all the perfected technique right up front and practice them into reflex it is absolutely incredible what you can do and how quickly you progress. Logically there is no reason at all to be flying without this level of skill. For people that want to fly just come through SUPER training and do it right. Getting the best training in the world is never going to be a bad thing for sure. Plus being on the right gear is also absolutely critical. It's not so much the size of wing although that does matter as well it's the type of wing that makes the biggest difference. You just can't afford to take a major collapse near the ground. Most wings take at least 30-60 feet to recover from a collapse. The Dominator can recover without any real loss of altitude at all. It's just mind blowing how safe it is. It's also so incredibly efficient the 16sm Dominator can out glide and has a lower sink rate than the 29sm Nucleon. 16sm vs 29sm and the Dominator blows it away. It's really hard for people to comprehend how good the Dominator is until they try it. The Dominator literally has no competitors. Nothing else is even comparable.
I am predicting that someone will die because of this video.
Well I was just dominated for 24:56
8:41 seems awful close
SUPER Trevor is the #2 pilot in the world right now behind me. He can control altitude give or take one inch so if he was 5 FEET away it wasn't even remotely close. The control and precision possible with a Flat Top & Dominator it truly incredible.
