Anthony is easily the funniest paramotor content creator. And, no question, the sexiest. Notice how he did not show himself flying or running? It's because nobody looks sexy doing this.
Awesome and clear steps! Nice. One thing to add -- Aborting takeoff is ALWAYS an option. There is a natural tendency to believe that you can overcome a red light in any of those steps you outlined and recover it. While this is true for more experienced pilots, pilots should ALWAYS have the mantra "I always have the option to abort." So many broken lines and broken props and injured humans and damaged wings could be avoided if the pilot would have aborted when too many takeoff checklist items were in the red. I have 220+ flights, and I made the mistake of not aborting when I should have and it cost me a pretty penny. You can ALWAYS abort a takeoff. Also NEVER STOP FORWARD RUNNING PROGRESS, even if you are killing the motor and aborting. Bring the wing down behind you in a controlled manner.
@@AnthonyVella I still had more in my luck bucket when I launched what should have been an abort. Cleared obstacles and climbed out safe but it was really sketch!
Great way to explain the process for new pilots - I would have preferred that explaination when I was training. Love the green light - all steps need to be in the green! You're doing a great thing out there teaching new pilots! Keep up the great work brother.
Dude I love you enthusiasm and dagginess it’s contagious, glad you’re keeping it after the accident so excited to see you get back in the air!!! Bless you and your family mate 😊
Great video. I followed it and have now taken off, but it didn’t tell me how to land! How do I get down from here? Currently circling the LZ while waiting for a reply! Thanks!
You are repeating same old knowledge, but you are sure doing it in a more entertaining way! 🙂 I can see your training being way more fun than what the more bori...err....serious... schools offer.
I was happy to see that you brought in a professional for the demonstration T.O. at the end of the video. The 2X4 on top of your head teaching tip is GOLD! BTW...I question #4) Given the video evidence, I am not sure Anthony runs "straight". 😆
In my case, I have to disagree. Take-off was quite easy every time. Landing properly was much harder. It took over a year before I found out my brakes were tied improperly. Manual said they would come from the factory tied for low-hook in. They were in the low-hook in "position", but their length was set for high hook in. Result was I never had any flare authority.
Thanks for the tips Anthony. Question... How do you know if you have enough airspeed and can start to apply brakes? Is it when your feet start to lift?
Thats being a pro when you save the camera at ALL costs. How long do you think theyll build enough homes around that LZ that someone starts to complain and we get to see another RUclips Karen episode? On another note, ive got this camera that wont let you run out of the frame. You can tell it to follow you, in post, and you dont have to buy a buddy behind the camera a beer for helping. Or a coffee if they dont like beer if thats possible.
Conspiracy theorists claim the paramotor pilot kicked you off of your One-Wheel. At least that is what they are saying on Fox News. And the video appears to show it. 😁
Dude…. This was so helpful for guys who have some paragliding background… basically u put all the schools out of business with this video…. God bless u.. 😎🫶😎not for that😅 but for such a cool condescend Paramotoring lesson 😊

Awesome addition! 💯 I have personally paid the price for not aborting a launch. Broken parts and pretty hurt. Thanks for adding this!!!

Who needs training when all everyone needs is this awesome instructional video! Now need the landing instructions.
Dude I love you enthusiasm and dagginess it’s contagious, glad you’re keeping it after the accident so excited to see you get back in the air!!! Bless you and your family mate 😊
Great sum-up of common pitfalls. Concise, entertaining, at times damning. Great stuff!
That timing and dosing of a little takeoff brake pressure can be as satisfying as a long flare at landing
Great video, really explained well and what is needed to get that proper forward launch and a great demo at the end
Correct posture will make you feel like you are running in water with the flow going your direction. It should feel almost effortless
Dude, I can't wait to sign up for the classes and get the gear to take to the skies!!! hahahah these videos get me amped up
Can't wait to teach you buddy! We’ll have a blast. 😁

Long story short, just dont be like Jared lol. Thank you Anthony (and Jared) for this video
I always wondered what I was doing wrong 😅. Nice video Anthony.
Nice and precise informations. Thanks to share.
Get well soon,hope you’re able to fly again thanks care of yourself.

I realized I never lean back enough. I try to step forward into the sky when I should be letting the motor push me into the sky at an angle.
Good stuff. 💯

😂u got me on 3:02 minutes 😂😂 , great video
This dude rocks!
Great video, how much caffeine did you drink before?
First 💯
Congrats! Haha! Keep texting me when you fly over EP. I always run outside to check.
Went parasailing last weekend and it was so awesome. Would love to get into paramotoring. Weather in my area won’t allow it though for awhile
I bet that was a blast! Where do you live?
@@AnthonyVella up in New Hampshire
@@_spartan11796I’ve been flying almost every day lately in NH. What part of the state are you in?
Nice pants Tom. Leave Jared alone.
work pants, not fly pants.
@@tombird4263 Get back to work then. What am I paying you for????
I have that exact same tacoma.
You must pay your demonstrators well cause you can’t get ones better than this.
The crazy thing is that these demonstrators pay me!!! Lol
Funny stuff!

Howdy! You can find it at www.flyeptx.com

Chida😂
He needed a how to land video might helped in the future
Good video but the knots / line check was way too short in the example…better take your time and have a good look to 100% verify nothing is wrong
You gotta teach us how NOT to land😂😂😂
I’m the SME. No doubt about it!
@@AnthonyVella You gotta make a video about it even if you won't be flying again

I don't see any wheels on it..🫤
