British Open Paramotor Championship Documentary (3/3)

Having attended my first paramotor competition last year, knowing there wasn't much information regarding what classic paramotor competitions are, I decided to film/document my experience of The British Open Paramotor Championship 2020.
I entered into the Club Pilot class. A new class added for the 2020 championship which is aimed at introducing new pilots with lower airtime into the competition scene. I fully support the addition of the Club Pilot class as it provided the perfect base to go from knowing nothing about competitions to how each task can be planned for and completed.
This is part 3 of 3 of the British Open Paramotor Championship Documentary. In this episode we learn how to plan the declared time task, Look through the championship pilots equipment, find out the results of our BHPA pilot exam, have a ground handling race & I give my final thoughts on the whole competition.

The joys of planning then having to scrub, then plan again. great video as always Dan.

[@DanielJonesParamotor]

It was borderline weather conditions for CP class but Championship managed a flight on that day. It just goes to show that safety is #1 priority at the comps. Regardless of not getting to fly it was good to learn how to plan the task.

I thought that fuel reserve was a drink bottle at first! 😂 Great video series, cheers

[@Bexxy]

Awesome job again Dan! Great series of videos, I don’t normally have time to watch long ones, but these were worth watching 👍

[@DanielJonesParamotor]

Ah mate, that means a lot! I knew they were going to be for a bit of a niche market being so specific and lengthy but I’m glad they were worth it ☺️

[@GolfFoxtrot22]

Nice touch to remember Paul Martin, a stalwart of the sport and would help anyone. Great video Dan and thanks for putting so much effort into these 3 great videos promoting the comps.

[@DanielJonesParamotor]

This years comp is going to be strange without Paul.

[@justharryjohnson7250]

I only spoke to him a few times but a very humble man. Was sad to hear when he past.

[@craiglebeter790]

Again, great footage Dan. And well done! 👍🏻

[@DanielJonesParamotor]

Thanks Craig, glad you’ve enjoyed the series ☺️

I have been, watching paragliding for the past three wks,I really love it so yesterday at night I dreamt that I was given a new paraglider by someone I didn't know well, since ,I have been watching paragliding, I had a clue about it ,so the bag was black with white and green color, I removed the risers and glider, I weared helmet and since I was in the field allone it was vehemently difficult for me to fix the belt in my legs and my waist,so I guessed carefully to avoid mistakes, then I fixed risers into the bag ,I was ready to take off, I noticed that it was a safe time to glide, so i ran against the wind in the gentle sloppy land, suddenly I felt as if I was in the lift I had fliyed like an eagle ,I want to tell you I was very happy indeed, it didn't took long before I was ouwaken by my brother I noticed that it was dream.so thank you, I come from eldoret,Kenya
