Nice vid indeed. Looks like Paraskiflex is still alive and well in CN.

Kinda wonder why with all that space to kite everyone is going in a straightline:dunno:

Holy crap

Look at all the kites.
Is that where you kite Dennis?(where this was filmed)
How come you have all this neat stuff in Quebec?
Paramotors, and didn't you post a parasailing video of a Silver Arrow a while ago?
I may have to learn french and make a move.

awesome videos guys!!!!

That paramotor thing does look saweet. That looks like it would be incredible to ride around also wondering why everyone is going straight. Almost like a track and they are racing or something lol.

Never thought that one would ride a wheeled bug in the snow. Now it makes me wonder if one could get a set of wheels studded for winter use.

My paramotor passion fizzled quickly when I did some looking around and al I hear was the rangy fan motors.......looks nice and peaceful with the sound overdubbed by music. Perhaps parasailing is the answer...but that's a bit impractical for me and my life.

I'll appreciate it from the ground (or as high as I learn to let my kites take me) and hope that at least one day I'm flying somewhere where I get footage of myself from above. Very cool. Watched it a couple more times since.
