Learning how to fly from Background PPG was the best decision I've ever made. You won't regret it!

@@Team.Louish thank you Clint!!

I wish I learned to fly with you guys. I don’t think you were established when I had learn to fly regardless, flying is awesome and you guys are doing a great job.

[@rayloupenay1502]

Man! Makes me want to learn how to fly all over again! Great summary of the training!

[@TONYPARAMOTOR]

hi trevor. iam a paramotor pilot. and I do not do enough kiting with my wing. no matter how experienced a pilot can be .kiteing is... kite the wing don't let the wing kite you. good video Thumbs up. Oh... pilot and wing become bonded. as one.

I trained with Backcountry last year. During my training and first flights I was nervous but felt prepared. I never felt unsafe. They have you repeat critical tasks again and again until it is muscle memory. I love flying and get to confidently because of backcountry PPG!

This is great. Amazing video on some of the basic training. I remember my instructor making me land next to him and continue kiting while he asked me how my flight went --- then he was like "this is a touch and go --- when you are ready, take off again"

Awesome video! I’m sharing this with friends interested in getting into the sport. Have you all considered getting a winch tow or hitting the south side for some sled runs prior to first flights? The feeling of flare timing can be so unfamiliar when you’re brand new, and I feel like winch towing helped me a lot.

[@TrevorSteele1]

I have mixed feelings about towing and have had poor experiences in the past. I don’t prefer it and have had several conversations with instructors who do tow, and they don’t think it adds any real value to the training experience from a skills standpoint. But finding a bunny hill to run off is not a terrible idea!

Hi . Firstly thanks for all the videos. I just wondered what you have found to be the best throttle to use? I have the std pap one.. i tend to find my throttle hand a bit busy and hard to park the brake smoothly.. do you have the brake handle round all 4 fingers? Any advice would be appreciated.

[@TrevorSteele1]

@@davebutcher701 off grid throttle is my preferred throttle!

[@davebutcher701]

@@TrevorSteele1 thanks I'll get an off grid.... do you put your brake round all 4 fingers?

instead of "a inside look" it should be "an inside look"
