I went to the Training Hill today in Santa Barbara and got a real nice thermal up and over launch. About an 8 minute flight, and I caught most of it on my gopro Hero camera. If you want to see what flying a paraglider can be like without a motor, You’ll enjoy this. Nice gentle thermal – up, up and away! It’s really fun to track the lift using a small variometer and the visual of a bird here and there getting a bug as it gets sucked up off the ground. The video ran out of memory just before I came back in for a nice top landing (and a round of applause). Really, a very special little flight!

www.u-turnusa.com Flat Top Paramotor Psycho Powered Paragliding pilot crashes Flat Top PPG into weeds on purpose!!! The worlds best PPG truely can save your butt when you are in over your head!!!! What is being demonstrated in this video is the durability and prop protection the Flat Top paramotor offers. Even flying 1 foot off the ground through 7 foot weeds the Flat Top came through unharmed. With other units the cage would flex back into the prop and the whole thing would blow up. Weeds are used for the demonstration that the Flat Top keeps things out of the prop. With other units there is a very high occurance of injuries where people have gotten their hands & body parts in the prop during falls or accidents. With the Flat Top there is a ton more protection as you can see clearly from the video. What is difficult to see in the video is how hard the unit is crashing through the weeds. Hitting those weeds at up to 40 mph the front of the pilots shins were completely bruised the following day. At Revolution Paramotors we push hard and do things nobody else does to ensure your safety.
