We're learning to fly Paramotors!! :D - Day 1 Learning to fly a Paramotor - BANDARRA

[@AndreBandarra1]

For those of you who are Paraglider pilots would you try Paramotoring? And vice versa, any Paramotor pilots that want to try Paragliding too?

[@TONYPARAMOTOR]

IAM A PARAMOTOR PILOT AND YES I WOULD TRY PARAGLIDING .TOO. AND KEEP IN MIND IAM ABIT BIAS. BECAUSE I HAVE A MOTOR.HAVE A PICKUP SO NO NEED TO STRIP DOWN.JUST STRAP DOWN TO PICKUP GO TO LZ IF WEATHER PERMITTING I CAN FLY... AND FLING IS LIKE MAGIC. ;0). WENT TO OLUDENIZ TURKEY A SIV COURSE PARAGLIDER. YEARS AGO.VERY NICE PLACE FOR A HOLIDAY FLYING.

[@DougBow96]

I'm a paramotor guy who will try paragliding next year if time & $$$ allow.

[@AndreBandarra1]

Really cool that a lot of people from PG and PPG seem interested in the counterpart. In my view rivalries are silly and they are both great sports and have much to gain from learning both

[@gerrycollins9409]

I’m still new with a motor but want to learn free flight also. Maybe next year, I’ll need some training and another wing

[@DougBow96]

@@AndreBandarra1 Totally agree! Both PG & PPG have amazing facets. There is no reason to have rivalries. Learn to fly both and become a better pilot. Great videos, keep going. :)

[@flyblueskyguy5863]

Before watching the video, let me first say - YEAH!!! Been waiting for this video. Congrats on your PPG journey!!!

[@GolfFoxtrot22]

I've achieved so much with a paramotor, height, distance, Icarus adventure. Its just another world. Been following you for a while, I feel you are going down the path I make videos on now.

[@AndreBandarra1]

Nice to see you here Giles and a big well done on your adventures! Seen a few articles here and there over the year :) fascinating stuff! Yeah we'll see where this goes, for sure won't stop paragliding but I'm hoping it will open doors to explore even more places. Cheers

[@GolfFoxtrot22]

@@AndreBandarra1 it certainly does open the days that are not free flying ones. I'll be watching your journey. Love your videos.

[@tomgillotti]

Love the team at SkySchool! Always a great time getting together with them.

[@lashley370z]

Great video. Glad to see you guys trying something new. I'll be tuning in for series. Following your stories from Oklahoma.

[@AndreBandarra1]

Awesome, welcome on board! There's a lot of videos coming and few fun weeks ahead!

[@SkyFlyingShaun]

It's awesome to see you guys getting into paramotor! I'm on my 26th flight. You guys are gonna love it!!!!

[@paramotorhead]

Great news Andre and Gemma. Welcome to flying wherever you want.

[@jhernellmusic]

Hey Andre, I watched day 2 before day 1, but congrats to both of you. Welcome to my world of PPG, I've enjoyed your winging videos but now I will enjoy your PPG videos. Come visit us in Galveston TX. We'd love to have you both here flying with us!

[@flierbill]

I'm so excited for yall ! Thanks for letting us experience this with you !

[@HR41Plan]

Cool I hope you will enjoy it ! I'm in paramotor world still 5 year , and I love it .... Free fly !

[@ripmanridin7092]

Awesome..........you guys are gonna luv paramotoring!

[@AndyRial]

Welcome guys!!! You’re gonna love it!

[@mhbjeep]

Been watching your beach videos and really like the ground handling you do in Paragliding. You will enjoy foot dragging and flying low for sure. If you’re ever in northern Virginia look us up and come fly with the NoVa AirDogs! Have fun...looking forward to your feedback on how different you think it is from free flying.

[@AndreBandarra1]

Cheers, appreciate it! We'll see how it goes :)

[@MitchG]

Yay! Congrats! Welcome to the world of endless footdragging!

[@TheChrisBreyShow]

I’m a free flight pilot but I am really excited to get a paramotor when they are fully electric with no torque steer and much less weight. A lot of people are getting into this and so it should be perfected within the next five years I imagine! It would complement the paraglider perfectly having the ability to get established and then free fly in thermic stuff. Brushless, li-po, It would need to have a quick release jettison feature in case those batteries burst into flames! Or maybe encased in something. Your videos are great, keep up the good work! Look forward to the next episode

[@DougBow96]

Great to see you adding to your bag of skills. 👍

[@ironhead9507]

you two have a great vibe. I love the videos and I hope to get started by this coming summer. I want to start with a ground kiting wing and progress from there

[@AndreBandarra1]

Cheers Eric! Yeah you can't go wrong with doing lots and lots of groundhandling. Will make everything else so much easier

[@ironhead9507]

@@AndreBandarra1 that's what I figured. I'm soaking up all of the knowledge about all aspects in the mean time

Maravilloso amigos, saludos desde Cadiz, España

I've been waiting for this video, it will change your life...

[@shaynemckinlay6406]

Good on you both for taking paramotoring up. You’ll spend less time at the beach and explore inland more.

[@mullenaero4486]

Wishing you blue skies for school.

[@dnorthup65]

I look forward to Paragliding at some point. For now, the paramotor allows me to fly when I don't have a lot of free time (local paragliding sites are all about 60 - 90 minutes away but I can paramotor just 5 miles from my home!).

[@eylphant]

Amazing, I saw Ricardo, Rob and Dan... I trained PPG with Skyschool, amazing guys.

[@Flyswamper]

I'm sure you guys will do great at it. A bit of getting used to the throttle control is probably the main thing that will be new. And yes, as PPG guy I am interested in learning to free fly (PG). It's funny because I always say that while sitting on my couch looking at the computer, then occasionally when I find myself in the air with turbulent conditions I sometimes wonder if I'm really ready (mentally) for it.... My "bump tolerance" has grown quite a bit over my 2 years of flying but I'm well aware that as a PPG guy I generally fly in really calm conditions compared to what you guys do. By the way, if you guys ever add a long-sleeve shirt to your store I'd still like to buy one and contribute to you guys in that way.

[@AndreBandarra1]

Thanks for letting us know. Well timed comment as we just got the merch shelf. What design and colour would you like sir? :) we’ll make you one

[@Flyswamper]

@@AndreBandarra1 Just noticed what I assume is the merch-shelf just now. As for color I'd probably favor a green, gray, or blue (in that order of preference). For design, the biggest thing I would suggest would be for the logo to be smaller...like the size of your fist and only on the left or right breast side of the shirt.... not a tiny logo, but something a bit more understated I guess and similar to so many other golf or t-shirts with a logo on them that doesn't take up the full front of the shirt. From your old designs I'd go for the simple hammer.... but the new one I see showing a watercolor wing would probably work there too...... my main thing is just long sleeves... so take the rest as just my wishes and not a requirement for getting an order. :)

[@AndreBandarra1]

@@Flyswamper thanks for the info. Yeah we don't expect any sales but it's nice to actually hear directly from people what they would like. Even with 10k subscribers you'd be surprised how difficult it is to get direct feedback on something. btw, you mean something like this but with long sleeves? teespring.com/fly-hammer-circle?cid=100036&pid=373

[@Flyswamper]

@@AndreBandarra1 yeah, that is the idea with the smaller logo. I feel nitpicky now, but I would remove the little circle colored background around the hammer and just have the hammer (or whatever logo) directly on the t-shirt main color... but again... get me a long sleeve and I'll get it regardless.

[@Flyswamper]

@@AndreBandarra1 Hi Andre/Gemma.... I noticed you added long sleeve sweatshirts to the store with the logo like I suggested. Thanks... Would it be possible to get the same basic design but in a long sleeve "tee shirt" instead of a sweatshirt. Here is a link to an example long-tee that I found on tee-spring. teespring.com/shop/triplegs-long-sleeve-tee?aid=marketplace&tsmac=marketplace&tsmic=search&pid=11&cid=2490

Paramotor !!!!! .... vrrrrrrrrrrr . GH will be so easy for you guys .

[@AndreBandarra1]

Vroom vroom 😁

[@niconico3907]

I find forward launches in no wind difficult with paramotor, because you have the weight of the motor on your back,so you dont feel what the wing is doing.

[@LouGuskeJr]

Wow! All those students from the U.S. when there's so many good schools there. It's a long way to Spain from the States. What's up with that?

[@Ripstop_pilot]

I can see the appeal for 0 wind days when you NEED to fly. I just dont find powered flight much fun. It's so point and shoot with little to do to achieve anything.

[@AndreBandarra1]

Have you tried it? Spoiler alert, I was immediately hooked!

[@cw2126]

👍👍👍

[@EVANGEaSCOOT]

When taking off just remember to keep your posture up and don't be afraid to throttle on take off. Have Gemma put her hair in a pony tail for safety. I'm happy for you guys AWESOME. PS be careful for your wing overs.

[@davidcrooks1752]

Excellent 👍👍👍👍👍 Although..... Depending on your viewpoint.... you're either Seeing the light 😇 or passing over to the dark side 😈 Either way at least it's not a rainy Tuesday in Leicester 😥 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
