Welcome to our journey! What was your favorite part?

[@ryanflies]

That ADS-B magic you hinted at?

[@MarkHuneycutt]

​@ryanflies, sir, you answer me question with a question

[@brianparker7644]

My favorite part is that you all took the journey to begin with, maybe you para Camp a couple times on the way or either way it's cool. By the way couldn't help but hear one of you talk about a west east trip someday...Just a thought I try infect others with, how about a Paramotor rally in the spirt of Gumball or Dakar, west to east of course call it the Mothball. Keep having fun and as King Air video's would say keep it out the tree's.

[@DenisZholob]

Awesome flight/adventure! Was nice to see some familiar areas you passed that hold amazing memories for me; Salton Sea, Glamis, Parker/Co River and Havasu. Amazed at the stuff you have to carry on you. Looking forward to part 2!

[@lawsonconner5022]

"Eat your food, Tina!". C130s were awesome, too.

[@tomgillotti]

This is peak paramotor adventuring!!

[@JTWardle]

Happiness…Level Two!!! Amazing Adventure!! What a fantastic group! Just seeing Chuck being his fun flying self makes me smile! Glad y’all kept safe and aware of that air traffic. 🤙👍🤘

[@PARANOOB]

Love it.. this is my preferred use of paramotors. 👌🤘

[@brutusbarnabus8098]

That is a magnificent caterpillar on your upper lip, Mark! Well played! Looking forward to the series! 😎

[@CineSoar]

@6:53 adjusting weights and balance, with a ballast dump. 🤣

[@CalebJohnsonlivingca]

He let us know it was happening over Sena almost every time 🤣

[@williamcapps6120]

Whenever it's a long haul adventure Caleb is always somehow involved lol. Good luck y'all. That's a crazy adventure.

[@charmingdevil84]

Wow this was amazing to watch. All the best for your ride guys. May you have the best of winds

[@skycowboyak4549]

Great accomplishment. Reminds me of the famous quests of the great explorers at the turn of the 20th century. Well done!

[@leerichardson262]

Just found your channel. Very cool trip. Have fun. Can’t wait to see the rest.

[@paramotorhead6623]

I love a good paramotor series, looks like I struck gold. Thanks for the edit Mark.

[@tango_sierra8608]

Finally man! So happy to see this series start

[@dreamburn1]

This is great Mark. I'm looking forward to following every single day of your adventure. It was fun enough watching you guys blow all expectations out of the water on GPS; however, it's even more fun watching the trials and tribulations you all had to deal with heading north. I can't wait for the next installment. Cheers buddy! -Deane

[@MarkHuneycutt]

Thanks again for the ride and help!

[@BlackGryph0n]

You keep pushing the envelope and I am so here for it!!

[@McLovin_710]

I don't think I could ever paraglide myself but this is awesome can't wait for more to come , heading to the day 2 video now haha

[@MikeCotter1]

This is Amazing in so many ways! Finding the time and energy to think about capturing it on film is overwhelming, actually doing it is mind-boggling. Great work to all of you guys. Some of the best paramotoring content I've ever seen, and it's only part 1. Congratulations Again and Thank you for the entertainment!😂🎉😂🎉

[@tilghmansmith5705]

Looking good Mark!! Love the commitment and dealing with the challenges. Looking forward to the rest of the trip.

[@nathansterrett3054]

Can't believe that your paramotor broke that easily. I won't be buying that brand. Ready for the next video now! awesome idea for a trip!

[@gonzalobarrosc]

[@DavidNCPPG-1962]

Thank you once again Mark, this looks so epic, This is what I want to do when I become a more confident pilot. Still in my infant pilot stages, but growing with every flight. Take care be safe.

[@paramotortheory]

This deserves more views than it has. A great start to what is sure to be a great series!

[@condorenvy]

Looking forward to the upcoming episodes!

[@acamilop]

This is the coolest thing I have ever seen. I thought I was cool camping with a dirt bike.

[@MarkHuneycutt]

Dirt bike of the sky! Lots of motorcyclists join us in the fun.

[@rogerkieferII]

Awesome video. Looks like a fun adventure.

[@WiggyWing]

I was so looking forward for this video! Glad you made it all the way safely (obviously since we are watching this!) This is the kind of adventure I wanna be part of if ever there is a second edition!! 🤘🏻 Waiting for part two!

[@ResidentStranger]

Balls of steel awards to all you guys...looking forward to the rest of the series. Saw you guys fly over the Flathead valley.

[@Maxrider2009]

Wow, man. Can’t wait to keep watching your adventure! That swing arm has me puckerin’ a bit, not gonna lie. Thanks for the content! 🤙

[@roycehartman325]

Very cool guys! I have dreamt of flying for several years now, and this just lit that fire all over again! I can't wait to see what comes next! 🤙

[@jeffstone2585]

I would only do something like this with a chase vehicle, or two. But then I’m older and need creature comforts at the end of the day. I congratulate you guys.

[@moppman3191]

I like the whole cross country thing, really cool.

[@travismartin936]

Can't wait for the rest of it!!

[@kevinschultz413]

🙃 Thnxs for bringing us along !!

[@user-xc1zi1rv1h]

Thanks Mark!

[@4444brock]

Love it. Cheers from Australia

[@mustangmikep51]

I flew a powered parachute for 3 years back in the day...fun, but limited if winds were over 15 mph

[@razia9689]

Cool to see what’s possible with ppg, props!

[@davidmack8813]

Mark outstanding video so professionally done this is what a great KZbin adventure video should look like, awesome job very well done. I kid but your work and whole thing is the best sir. All the best David

[@fredread9216]

Nice adventure going here. I have crossed oceans in my sailboat. You are crossing the continent or nearly so. Very cool. I am a PP and glider pilot.

[@stephenenglish4150]

Wild guys keen to watch

[@abbott876]

This is fantastic guys! awesome.

[@jerrydelyea5820]

Very cool Mark. Safe travels boys!! The C planes we’re frigging awesome man,WOW. ✌️🇨🇦

[@MarkHuneycutt]

Thank you

[@mmcowan]

Hey Mark, thanks for putting these videos together. Part of me wanted to join y'all but the "we're carrying 150lbs+ on our backs" quickly squashes that idea for me. Glad I could join via your videos. 😍

[@MarkHuneycutt]

A Lil bit of exercise for a few months prior and you won't even notice.

[@chuckaeronut]

You don't HAVE to carry all that weight. With various projects underway, once you can reliably stay up comfortably under 3 L/h, fuel load will be much lower. And you can save more by flying shorter legs. And you can probably carry only emergency shelter (much lighter) if you're stopping at airports and motels. We came up with all sorts of ways to reduce weight! But... once you get the bug you'll want to just launch with it all.

[@mmcowan]

@@chuckaeronut yeah…I’ve seen what you launch with! I also know what kind of shape you’re in. 😜

[@porscheoffroad]

Epic footage! Those C130’s where out the gate 🤯

[@JonKnight-st1ws]

Great video. Thanks.

[@ParamotorNC]

Launch with 150 lbs of equipment? Insane. But when you are doing a trip like this without a support vehicle… wow. Much respect fellows.

[@swillhide]

great job guys!

[@TrevorSteele1]

I cannot wait to watch this!

[@michaelcollins900]

I’ve never been into paragliding until one time I went to a sand dune in Washington state and there were paramotors everywhere I was fascinated!

[@robertgoodale7204]

Outstanding bros!

[@samik83]

This is awesome. Not a lot of people dare to do these long paramotor adventures. Last one I remember seeing was Tuckers Icarus race.

[@claudioxunorus5015]

Wooooooa, what an awesome voyage! I wish to do something similar one day. This is good content ; )

[@sideburnie]

holy fuck dude, caleb told me you had an issue with your swingarm, but jesus, fuuuuuuuck that. you a brave man, mr. huneycutt!

[@CalebJohnsonlivingca]

riiiight?

[@curtishunter1472]

He’s got an extra ‘swing arm’ ;)

[@MarkHuneycutt]

Paramotor for sale, lightly used, know what I got, no low balls

[@mmcowan]

yeah, when I saw you doing those wingovers while carrying all your gear, I was all "uh....I'm not sure that's a good idea".

[@CalebJohnsonlivingca]

@@mmcowan hey, same thing I was thinking in the moment, 😂

[@mariadoistoy1190]

Yes! This content I need right now! Let's go!

[@dallintaggart482]

Never has a gas station been such a interesting location.

[@12vibaba]

yes i love this kind of content. what a trip already. please include some flightplanning.

[@matthewf1979]

The desert in that area is so beautiful from the air. Probably the most inhospitable places to have a forced landing though. You might just be a little crazy to do this run, but my God it looks like fun. Safe travels!

[@MarkHuneycutt]

Thanks! We had SOS devices so worst case, we think a helicopter could get to us within a reasonable amount of time

[@deezynar]

This was recommended to me, so I am watching it and I subscribed. Can I make a couple of requests? Please keep text on the screen for a while longer, and post what towns you stop in. Thanks.

Man, I'm so jealous. This is something I've been wanting to do for decades now but couldn't due to either other commitments or lack of money.

[@tengonadacluewhatsgutsprec1419]

This is so exciting! My favorite part is yall making it to the hotel safely after the potentially disastrous decision to have a pilot fly with no sleep and several items breaking.

[@MarkHuneycutt]

same 😂

[@pittsjohn57]

Keep it up!!!

My dream. Well done guys.

What an exciting adventure!! Looking forward to the whole trip! Finally a proper PPG saga to follow!! Would really like a breakdown of all of the gear you guys packed with you. Did you bring any spare parts?

Some spare parts, yes. For a really in-depth look at my gear, check out the website paramotoramerica.com
