>Can fly anywhere you want within 100 miles and back home
>You don't need a license
>You don't have to pay for insurance
>No getting cucked in traffic
>It saves you lots of time traveling
>You get to be a Chad soaring above traffic and dropping panties when you land in front of Trader Joe's
Why haven't we thought of this before? This is the ultimate mode of travel unless you need to haul heavy things.
This guy flew his Paramotor to McDonalds and ate it on his way back home: youtube.com

This is pretty epic ngl user
You need at least 10k to get into that.
Yeah it's all fun and games until a bunch of faggot geese fly into the propeller and cause you to crash
So for the price of a car you can buy something way better :)
>not lashing 100 Canadian geese to a sleigh for transportation.
Only a leaf would do this. If you see a flock of geese then you go in the other direction. Fly around them. You don't try to be courteous and fly past them and wave them a nice day.
There are restrictions in a lot of states. You also cant fly unless conditions are extremely mild.
Weird, a channel by a guy flying these shows up in my recommended list like a week ago.
Looks pretty fun honestly, though hazardous.
>these things exist
>they're cheap
>why isn't everyone using one?
user, you really need to learn to do your homework.
Based
Does it fly itself? I hardly trust myself to drive a car, I'm not flying an industrial fans trapped to my back
>WHOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH GUYS
>LOOK WHAT I DID
Fuck YouTube. I bet people actually watch this garbage.
Decent paramotor is at least 7k and up
If it's so chad than why is every video/picture you posted full of onions boys?
That King of Random dude died using this shit.
>There are restrictions in a lot of states.
whats the fuel cost for that to go get a $1 burger lol
Paramotoring is entry-level, right after hang gliders. I did it from 2005 to 2009, then got bored. I now fly Ultralights and own a few(pushers and trikes). Hadn't the crisis made things difficult, then I had started construction on my first self build this year.
Badass until a downdraft tacos your glider and your life flashes in front of you, then you drop even faster toward your back with the engine weight and your organs liquefy as you splat upon impact in a sickening noise resembling dropping a blood filled watermelon from a skyscraper.
vote Democrat goy! They know what's best for you
PS it's better to get good gear and quality training, 10k is sensible in that case.
Look the videos where he replies to crashes, you really need lessons for these things as well as good weather info. Also rotor wash or wind shearing is invisible and can cause you to drop dead to the ground (no joke).
I love watching his videos. He triggers all the betas on r/paramotor too.
>2009
Thats badass. I like the Titan 2
Modern reserves deploy in under 2 seconds. I had to pull mine on two occasions while proximity flying.
i feel like that could be a part of a transportation system, it seems to awkward to put away.
could see it as being paired with a truck or a boat, park on the edge of town somewhere easy and buzz in, store the lolocopter in work/wherever and then back to the truck when youre done.
when i worked in the city a couple of years ago, there was a 'park and ride' place id pass out of town that had a warehouse full of bike lockers people could rent out. the idea was people park somewhere easy and then follow bike lanes into the city, with their bike being secured at the car park end, wonder if you could secure one of these things there with the right loicense.
A guy flying a paramotor just flew over my house!
planes seem a lot more boring than a paramotor or hang glinding. its like how going 60mph in a car is boring but going 60 mph on a bike or skateboard is crazy. plus its way more illegal to risk your life proximity flying in a plane
Yeah, I had some Blackhawk gear, good stuff but pricey.
Why the fuck has no one told me about this
*Titan Tornado 2
What are the laws regarding that shit? I assume there's plenty of (((laws))) preventing easy access or use of these things since they really would be convenient and way better than owning a faggot car.
I can do everything a paramotor does in my REV X trike...and more. With the small wing I can actually go places. Cross country flying with a paramotor was never that pleasant.
His videos are fun but he's far from being a Chad. His dad had to tell girls on the beach to give him a kiss on the cheek as payment for taking them up on flights. That's pretty beta.
A REAL American would blast his way through with his shotgun .
Same here.
What is the algorithm trying to tell us?
>tfw your dad never tried to be your wing man
You know people always bitch about how they don't live in a stereotypical future with jetpacks and shit yet ignore the existence of paramotors.
If you really want to be flying through the sky you don't need a jetpack.
you can glide those things retard it's not like a helicopter without a prop. If the wing fails you're fucked. A gust of wind in the wrong direction can cause it to collapse.
can't wait to see some cunt get eviscerated by the fan when he crashs
That was a great movie , doesnt get the credit it deserves .
