u-turnusa.com Paramotor World Champion SUPERDELL powered paragliding with his brand new student. After one hundred launches in a week of intense training with SUPERDELL, Clint takes his one hundred and first flight! He proves his stuff and the value of world class instruction with this almost no wind launch on some slippery California mud! Slipping and a sliding he still gets off the ground no problem in only about 15 feet!!! This is an excellent example of how training with a true master and getting the right equipment really makes the difference. SUPERDELL launches first on the Flat Top 120 and medium K2 with a picture perfect launch you would expect from the world’s best pilot and then Clint launches the Flat Top 200 SUPER and large K2 in the tricky conditions and even though he gets a rough start with the glider coming up a bit crooked his mastery of the skills taught by SUPERDELL becomes quickly evident as he keeps it under control and makes it happen. If you have to think about what’s happening and how you should respond to it you will be far to slow to recover from less than perfect conditions. Here you can see clearly the phenomenal quality of instruction by watching the glider come up crooked, in light wind, on a slippery surface and the new pilot that had never touched a paraglider 8 days earlier is now responding instinctively to correct the situation. Watch the trailing edge of the glider as the pilot makes numerous corrections while simultaneously correcting …

u-turnusa.com Paragliding on Barbados IS possible for paramotor champion SUPERDELL! With limited time he tries to jump into the ridge lift coming up the cliffs. You can see him get a piece of it as he glides quite a ways after leaping off a rock from an altitude of only 3 feet. With a little more time and perhaps a touch higher winds he thinks he could have caught the lift and ridge soared up and down the cliffs for hours. Thinking he should have just launched from the top of the cliff he simply ran out of time and didnt quite make the amazing feet of launching off a 3 ft rock as he hoped. Looked good to us, sounds like another excellent day of fun in the sun. Flying only a 23sm small K2 from Sky Paragliders you can see the incredible efficiency as it makes an amazing glide out of such a small amount of altitude. For more information on how to get into the sport of paragliding or powered paragliding you can contact the largest US distributor at http or call them at 801-631-1731 or Toll Free in the USA at 800-707-2525. Fun fun fun!! No matter where you are, no matter where you go, you can be the bird you always dreamed of being!

u-turnusa.com Paramotor World Record holder SUPERDELL does it again setting yet another world record for the most consecutive wing tip drag circles. Powered Skydiving or paragliding is actually an incredibly safe sport contrary to how it might look. Zero deaths have ever occured on Flat Top paramotors. Only one injury has ever been recorded and that was a Red Bull Team pilot who death spiraled one into the ground at high speed on a low level acrobatics stunt. He has since recovered to fly again. Powered paragliding is incredibly safe if you get the right equipment and training. Because of the remarkable stability of the new K2 paraglider pared with the Flat Top it is very unlikely to ever decend at a rate that would exceed the crumple zone impact protection. Pilots have literally stalled right into the ground and gotten up and walked away completely uninjured. This just doesn’t happen with any other aircraft, it is also one of the safest action sports comparably. World record run with minimal risks. For more information contact the world distributor at http or call them at 801-631-1731 or in the USA 800-707-2525
