Bad Apples 2024 part 2

[@shanesplanetshane3795]

Lovin' these. Watching those long toe drags on launch, make me fear for peoples heels...

[@warrenkral6562]

I always think the same thing

[@cloudpandarism2627]

i learned so much! really helps to see all these different pilots launch differently.

[@cloudpandarism2627]

5:50min STOP LOOKING AT THE BLOODY WING! add power ya knucklehead! wuhahahha 🤣

[@paramotorhead]

7:09 Was that Tom from Parajet taking his annual bath again? The knucklehead comment had me in stitches 😂

[@ripmanridin7092]

🤣.........he almost ran it out!

[@kevincollins8014]

Great footage thanks for sharing

[@keithgrey]

Yikes ! Was that the Parajet guy on the GTX taking the first swim?,,,again?

[@shanesplanetshane3795]

Job security for prop manufacturers, right there!

[@ripmanridin7092]

😂

[@greglaney6317]

I hate that I missed the first swim. I'm glad you were there to memorialize it.

[@SkyFlyingShaun]

At least the swimmer was on the edge. He almost saved it too.

[@mydogischoking]

Great content! Not sure if that guy is quite ready to fly that snake though. A bit sketchy.

[@markrenkens9759]

Good stuff! It's funny how so many people at fly-ins feel the need to do a foot drag on takeoff. But, when I fly with people normally, they hardly ever do them. Just an observation

[@577buttfan]

People get big muscles around other people. You know that LOL

[@warrenkral6562]

Not sure why people are so stuck on doing a reverse. If it's questionable, just do a forward.... Unless it is super gusty, then I get it.

[@mj47749]

My thoughts too. When you have to do reverse launch on paramotor its probably too windy to fly. Unless you want to fly circles around LZ. Or launching from beach

[@CoyoteOne]

Bruh that nucleon was painful to watch......

[@joshperryppg]

I love these compilations you make Ripa! Sounds a bit windy from the wind hitting your mic.

[@NelsonsWings]

Todd!! Everyone's there but me. What are those ozone wings with winglets?

[@ripmanridin7092]

Viper 5 think?

[@CalebJohnsonlivingca]

Where are all the saucy dudek launches this year? Just saw the one.

[@warrenkral6562]

ER- body getting Ripped by Ripman. Haha. love it.

[@charliewalsh9247]

Nice bro 👊🏻

[@paraglidingtalk]

Tom likes that water. thats not his first time is it?

[@ripmanridin7092]

😂 2nd

[@dkumpula001]

I just don't understand why pilots with questionable skills attempt to take off with bare feet . . and then double-down with a foot-drag launch.

[@jasonsatterley4282]

But they always have a helmet on . Seems like knee pads , elbow pads and leave your phone in your pocket are extremely more important than a helmet

[@dkumpula001]

@@jasonsatterley4282 maybe, but in case of a really bad drop, I'd still like my helmet - plus you definitely need ear protection and a place to mount a camera. ;) I've scraped my knee twice in ~400 flights, but long pants generally offset that risk. I've taken a few line burns and bruises on my arms, but never my elbows. I've twisted my ankle three times, so good boots are a high priority for me. A prop to the shins though . . ugggh, that would be terrible.

[@warrengibson5988]

@@dkumpula001 10000% agree on the boots. I don't care if it's 99 degrees outside, I always have 2 pieces of gear - a helmet and my Saloman hiking boots. Good support for my old-man ankles and beefy heel coverage in case the worst happens. I'd prefer not to sever my achillies.
