Everyone must make their own choices but I would never personally push anyone in the direction of self training. Have a great day.

[@erikpfingstner3902]

@@ponasfeliksas5299 Well let me reply instead: It is indeed possible to self teach paramotor or paraglider. But most people want to get airborn too quickly. Thus they skip preparation steps which are need for doing so safely. I know 2 guys who self taught paragliding. One did his homework and prepared a lot, the other one got airborn almost completely unprepared. He crashed on his second flight - ankle broken, 2 vertebrae got a small crack and his brand new wing got molten by a power line. Both pilots had big balls, one was (a bit) crazy. The question is not if it possible to self teach, it is whether you have the right set of mind to do so safely. In the film above, Jason had done some preps and learning, but definitely NOT enough. His choice of terrain was not good for a first flight (many obstacles) and his landing aproach was very dangerous (just look at it again).

[@beeqool]

I m wondering, why isnt there paramotor mentoring? I think it would be a great middle ground for people who cant afford training, so everyone doesnt have to argue back and forth training vs self taught.

[@ryandinan]

Hey, if you want to self-train, that's entirely your decision. I know someone who self-trained and he's an excellent pilot - but he definitely had other pilots around him that he took lots of advice and instruction from. So, in reality, he didn't really self-train, but he never went through an official course either... At any rate - once you're in the air - you need to fly by the rules, otherwise you risk putting the entire sport in jeopardy (flying directly over houses is a no-no). Get altitude and build familiarity with the wing and motor. Don't overdo anything - pull gentle brakes at first. Make gentle throttle corrections. For landing, make sure you're into the wind (get yourself a nice extendable pole with a long streamer), kill the motor at 80ft or so, go hands up and let that wing build speed. Speed is what gives you flare authority. Be looking out to the horizon (and slightly down) - gently add pressure - just enough to feel the wing - and at 3-4 feet above the ground, start adding more brake pressure to round out your descent. You should be flying just above and parallel to the ground; keep progressively adding brakes all the way down to your butt and walk it out. The idea of making a good landing, is "practicing NOT landing"; the longer you can hold yourself off the ground as you come in, the softer and gentler the landing. Good luck to you - and fly responsibly and safely!

Except there were obstacles I had to negotiate (fence, light pole, truck, etc).

There were multiple times in this video that things could have gone horribly wrong and he didn't even know what situations to avoid. He has no throttle control and is flying close to the ground. One of those times that he let off the throttle the wing could have surged in front of him. His response would have been to gas it and it would have plowed him straight into the ground.
