Overcoming the Fear of the Motor - Paramotoring. Aviator Episode 14 in 4K

[@dottie8756]

Wow! Thank you Reese, this brought tears to my eyes again remembering. An awesome experience. Thank you to Judson, Micah and everyone at Aviator for helping me push through! And thanks to my awesome fiancé for all the encouragement. It was definitely NOT easy for me, but I'm so excited to keep flying and learning.

[@aviator]

It was an honor to be a part of your experience... And especially to share it! Thank you!

[@kamleshjethwa4151]

it was very great to see you in the air finally . Internet makes it look easy to fly and thanks Aviator for showing the behind the scenes .very helpful

[@markpellerin2768]

Damn! I was on the edge of my seat and almost started yelling to cheer you on. Congratulations Dottie!

[@edwardrr1114]

Awesome vid! Dottie what helped you get over the fear of the engine???…cuz thats my problem, is fear of the engine while trying to launch…

[@MeatTheBible]

I had tears when she left the ground. If it was easy anyone could do it. Dottie is a ROCK STAR. Come to NC to fly with us. Great video, thanks.

[@aviator]

[@ryanrrides4829]

Huge PORPS to my man Judson for getting her airborne! Great Job to Dottie for never giving up...always stay determined!

[@aviator]

Judson crushed it!! So did she :D

[@justbrentbenson5419]

Dottie, you brought tears to my eyes and that is VERY hard to do -- congratulations!!!

[@MrRaleighman123]

Brent, you would cry watching a puppie play! :)

[@justbrentbenson5419]

@@MrRaleighman123 In all fairness, only if it's a cute puppy...

[@MBASSFORD]

Reece, you did it again. The Dottie experience made my eyes leak. I got to re-experience my life-changing adventures at Aviator. I am so thankful for Eric Farewell and the team for sticking with me. There are so many adventures ahead!

[@GolfFoxtrot22]

The world of paramotorist are with you Dottie, CONGRATULATIONS.

[@kmikemoore16]

Great job Dottie...that was awesome!

[@ericsheridan9208]

Great job Dotty!!! Welcome to the Aviator family!

[@luappaul7240]

I taught myself and been flying for a wile now the first time ya leave the ground it sure is a hell of a feeling

[@vikp8817]

OMG what a jitter of chills!! Keep going Dotty!! and @AviatorShow please keep making these training videos....so many of us get to re-live our first flight experience by watching your videos....

[@dkumpula001]

I LOVE watching someone run into the sky for the first time, especially those who aren't total naturals. Most likely because I can relate better to those that struggle a bit! :) Congrats to Dottie and the rest of the class for a job well done!

[@cfrias99]

Dottie made my eyes sweaty. Congratulations

[@Robbo1966]

Excellent, go girl. Everybody seems to be getting up into the air, whilst here, right now in the UK its rubbish, started training Sept 20, still running around the field

[@aviator]

Come visit!

[@mdugan1990]

Looking forward to next week! Midwest PPG is where I am in the middle of training. Waiting on some slightly warmer weather to get my first flight in.

[@marknewvine1073]

I really Like this episode.

[@jaafit]

Amazing video. Watched this just after finishing my Aviator class and I can relate so much to that struggle. 🥲 Smooth to full!

[@hondacivet]

Good for Dottie! I'm just starting the towing stage, I'm still not perfect at kiting yet but I've gotten a lot better. The times when her wing dies and flops over, pretty much my life. XD KZbin definitely makes it look easier than it really is.

[@albynospyder4120]

Congrats Dottie.

[@aricellis]

Great show and congratulations to Dottie!

[@ripmanridin7092]

Congrats Dottie!!!

[@chrisbajema8002]

That was awesome Dottie, wonderful job and spectacular perseverance 👌🤛!

[@lvsqcsl]

Eric, I thought you traded your problems off with the old motorhome. I guess not. That fear of the motor is real. Then, your feet leave the ground and you are terrified....I guess that is why you never forget your first flight. Great video!

[@MrUpscaleman]

Is that the same Judson that flies with Tucker?

[@ryandinan]

Sure is!

[@lvsqcsl]

The one and only.

[@mikeabrohams1553]

DOTTIE DOTTIE DOTTIE !!!!!! GO GO GO GIRL POWER !!!! Way to cool

[@Mark-wm1tj]

Mark From Ocala Florida Here. Good instruction Judson,. Keep it up.

[@wenigdabei]

Inspiring stuff! Love it. Regards from Just another Paragliding KZbinr.

[@vaidasantanaitis9891]

[@rich_vincent]

Love seeing new pilots take to the air :)

[@skysportsusa5010]

We're hooked! Another banger!

[@lucianosantucci108]

Brilliant 👍

[@luappaul7240]

Dottie I yelled YEAH when your feet left the ground It was like the first time I flew I was that excited for her

[@daveoller266]

Great video Reece. Nice

[@roberteshelman5917]

Great video, Aviator!

[@ulaB]

Your issue with the bus at the beginning reminds me of a joke: I have a friend who is gynecologist. He did some paperhanging(?) in my appartment a while ago while I was on vacation. He didn't even need keys, since he could just use the mail slot in the door.

[@jimcr120]

Balu my old friend! What a delight to find you here!

[@GuyT-z7o]

Epic Dottie!

[@GuyT-z7o]

And that footage!!

[@matthewevans2831]

This is awesome!!!

[@benkov9260]

Slow motion replays are really helpful 👌

[@aviator]

We use them in our schools a LOT.

[@thomasnappo6309]

Judson is Famous..big superstar in the Paramotor world..

[@Florentin-Parapente]

I love it !!! great video :)

[@Just_Derek]

Hopefully I can join while I live in FL.

[@GodzillaGoesGaga]

Awesome. Just discovered your channel. Plan to get training ASAP.

[@aviator]

We'd love to have you!

[@99problemsbutafishaintone35]

Awesome

[@markpellerin2768]

Great video! What was that first song?

[@ryandinan]

Great video Reese! When did this take place?

[@aviator]

Our travels were in September. The training was happening at our schools at the same time... This training was in November

[@aviator]

Class was filmed 11/17/20 Reese is working his hardest to stay current. Glad you enjoyed!

[@williamfarrell2958]

I would like to try the sport but I seen two fatal impacts with the leading edge curling under . I use to fly fixed wing.

[@aviator]

Flying in safe conditions with safe gear is everything. We teach how to use a safety bubble to maintain your safety.

[@michaelkennedy2528]

This is one of those videos you look at and say "Damn, it is only 18 minutes. Can ya make them like 30 minutes?

[@aviator]

Generally we shoot for 21-24 minutes... Hopefully we'll have them on TV soon!

[@samirbabayev2363]

Micah (Aviator PPG Dunnellon manager) is the best! I highly recommend him as a PPG instructor.

[@aviator]

He's the best!

[@drx630]

Reese, these edits are next level bro, You and AJ is making me want to get back into the film/editing game again, aka doing it just because I love it and nothing else (after complete burnout with multigp back in the day) - looking forward to trekking up to Lake Wales (its 2.5 hours from me, no big deal) to fly with you and the rest of the aviator crew one of these days! (been too long since my last paramotor video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/maG0f2SOir-hsKM)

[@shanesplanetshane3795]

My first flight came after about 2 seasons of working in the hot Sun. Schedule limitations and personal ability made it take a long time. Its not as easy as it looks and some of us struggle. I wanted to quit but my instructor insisted I just TRY taxi with motor. His courage gave me courage (nothing to lose). Bingo... in the air and will never forget. Once it does happen, it becomes clear that its all worth it. Congrats to Dottie and the rest of the hurricane class! Tbh, fear was getting in the way and sometimes still does. I wasnt born with wings!
