Powered Paragliding Videos / DVD's

Seeing is believing. Hearing at the same time is even better. These productions chronicle visits with our country's premier flying sites and sessions along with others.

Have you ever wondered what's so magical about PPG? Then "Why We Fly" will be an inspiration. It's the story, sometimes tense, about four pilots who set out to explore. Yes, incredible flying plays to a rousing score, but it's far more than that. Humans will enjoy it, not just pilots. If there's one video that you wanted your non-flying friends to see, to understand what we find so irresistible, this is it. Plus it makes good fun at the rift that simmers between some free flyers and powered pilots.

Are you a pilot? If so, Risk & Reward is the most important video you'll ever see. Make sure you own a copy and understand the material. It is not preachy and it tells you how stay alive in the sport. FootFlyer.com makes very little money on it but feels that it is a "must-see" treatment of our sport. Read more about the production.

Wanna good laugh? Check out Meet Powered Paragliding. Besides flying and funny comments from participants, Brewster's Helicopter story is worth it, let alone his "You gotta be tough if..." story. It's based on the 2005 National Convention and highlights many of the sport's most dedicated folks.

Wanna see some history? Check out videos from fly-ins of times past. See where the "Grasslands" were. Although these are some of Jeff Goin's early efforts, they are still tightly edited and packed with beautiful flying and humorous comments caught on camera.

See why this is the most important PPG Video you should own.

Produced by Lite Touch Films in conjunction with the USPPA, this gives an entertaining, even sometimes humorous look at how to minimize some of the risks inherent in our sport. The material is serious, to be sure, but the presentation is quite entertaining. You can see what many pilots have to say about it on the usppa site.

Paramotor pilot William Shatner provides an intro along with other appearances.

Powered Paragliding has made it into the Guinness World Record database only one time: at this event. 103 pilots swarmed the skies over Fantasy of Flight for the famed "Mass Launch." You'll see the extravaganza from several vantage points including the air. Just the recovery alone is a spectacle worth seeing where dozens of paragliders make their way home in a darkening East Sky.

Of course, there was much more too and this gives highlights on the people and flying that made it so much fun.
