Power Sport For The 21st Century!!!

2009-10-28T14:38:00.000-07:00

This really is the coolest thing ever. Flying only inches off the ground dragging your feet through the weeds is one seriously awesome feeling. Totally Awesome in fact! I even spotted a stolen car for police that was hiden clear out in the desert they likely wouldn't have found for a very very long time. Every search & rescue vehicle should have one of these units in the trunk as it would make it sooooo easy to find lost people anywhere. You can also get 2300 times more people in the air for the same cost as one helicopter.

My new Aircraft I designed is finished, I call it the S-Trike. It is 3 aircraft in one. The canopy can be flown without a motor using thermals or ridgelift, the motor unit can be strapped to your back like a backpack and foot launched and the S-Trike can be used for even more speed and range. I've spent many years perfecting this unit and it is offically Totally Awesome!!!! I also designed a transport rack so the whole thing can be stuck right on the back of your vehicle quickly and easily:

I manufacture them myself and sell them all over the world. Too darn fun!! Take a look at how it works, it is super versitile and can carry up to 350 lbs:

SUPERDELL Sets World Speed Record... Again...

2008-07-18T17:07:00.000-07:00

50mph isn't that fast for your car but for flying a parachute it is flat out moving and sets a new all time record for the industry. Dell Schanze accomplished this with an 11sm paraglider prototype and a new 30hp version of the Simonini Mini 2 plus on the S-Trike which he designed. His S-Trike design is extremely revolutionary and sets an all new standard for ultralight aviation for performance, safety & portability. The S-Trike is 3 different aircraft in one. The glider can be flown without a motor at free flying sites. You can detach the motor unit which turns into a backpack that can be foot launched for tight areas and the S-Trike ads wheels for maximum speed and luggage capacity. It will carry up to 350 lbs. This incredible new unit which can be ready to fly in less than 60 seconds or packed on the back of your vehicle retails for only $14,400.

SUPERDELL Sets Powered Skydiving US Distance Record

2008-07-08T22:22:00.000-07:00

Powered Skydiving is the power sport for the 21st century. Classified as an ultralight aircraft it is limited to only 5 gallons of fuel so a distance record in the US takes serious skills & advanced equipment to achieve. Dell Schanze launched from the shore of Utah lake at 12:15pm on July 5th 2008 and landed 7 hours and 13 minutes later just outside of Rawlings Wyoming. This record was achieved flying a brand new high tech paraglider called the Airforce from U-Turn paragliders, sporting an amazing 10.1:1 glide ratio and the Flat Top 200 from Revolution Paramotors.

SUPERDELL Invents a new aircraft!!!

2007-11-24T19:43:00.000-08:00

Powered Skydiving, a new extreme sport invented by Dell Schanze makes history. The safest ultralight aircraft ever devised is ground tested by the designer himself on November 24, 2007. Exceeding his expectations this ultralight aircraft does not require a pilots license or any FAA registration to be flown. It is very versitile as it can be used with pretty much any paraglider and many skydiving & base jumping canopies. The unit is actually 2 aircraft in one, both a packpack version and a wheeled version. The packpack fits on the back of the Flat Top S-Trike for a wheeled launch to extend speed & range and when maximum portability is require or for very small launch areas the backpack can be flown by itself in a foot launch configuration.

SUPERDELL Base Jumps off Bridge with Team Redbull

2007-10-11T20:13:00.000-07:00

"Woooo Hooooooo!!" SUPERDELL yells after jumping off Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls Idaho. Fellow extreme sports enthusiasts and the #1 & #2 ranked base jumpers in the world teamed up with Utah Celebrity Dell Schanze for a day of base jumping. "The dude has nadds of titanium the size of basketballs" was one comment "I've never seen anyone on a first jump take the leap without any hesitation at all like that before" said a long time local instructor. "Most people climb over the railing, climb back over the railing and take up to 30 minutes working themselves up to it before they jump. Many refuse to jump at all even after all the preparation and training"

"I don't even bother counting down" said SUPERDELL, "It drives me nuts to see people stand there for 20 minutes fighting with fear. After the final checks and the man says I'm good to go I just said ok and jumped. I went up there to jump, I already accepted the risks and made my mind up to do it, I said my prayers and got my confirmation from God so why be a big sissy? I'm the boss, fear is my employee. I make it work for me, not the other way around."

SUPERDELL throws 2 reserves; neither works!!!!!

2007-10-03T21:21:00.000-07:00

Driven by sheer motivation for mastery, Dell Schanze works on the most difficult maneuvers in the sport of paragliding. While working on a maneuver known as the helicopter on a brand new, high performance, acrobatic paraglider; SUPERDELL messed up and didn’t check a surge fast enough after riser twist had him facing the opposite direction his paraglider was going. The surge flicked him towards his glider causing a major collapse which resulted in a cravat where the glider tangled beyond a point where it could be controlled. Immediately assessing the glider was no longer flyable, SUPERDELL threw his reserve. Instead of deploying correctly it was scooped up by the tangled glider and failed to open. Being very safety oriented SUPERDELL is one of the few pilots that fly with 2 reserves when practicing higher risk maneuvers. Without hesitation he grabbed his second reserve and tossed it. This also tangled in the main and failed to open. Now running out of altitude but determined by the challenge of the triple failure he vigorously worked to pull one of the reserves back in to attempt to force it open. With riser twists it was very difficult as everything was wrapped up together but after working it for several seconds he pulled one of the failed reserves within reach where he was able to get it open. It was still snagged in the other lines and instead of opening normally it opened inside out and with a tangle but it was enough to slow his decent for a safe landing in the water below.

When asked if he feared for his life he responded “Some people focus on stress of a conflict taking away their undivided attention on the problem which can dramatically hamper their ability to react effectively under pressure, others are filled with excitement and see a challenge that is fun and completely satisfying to overcome. To me it was a total blast and I was filled with confidence and peace through the entire experience. I wasn’t thinking about living or dying, laughing or crying. I had a job to do and a short deadline and I don’t fail. I expect to succeed at whatever I do. I didn’t waste a single second on how I felt about the problem or the way in which it was placed upon me. I just did what needed to be done and was enthusiastic and happy about doing it.”

Dell Schanze sets another world record!!!

2007-09-11T06:03:00.000-07:00

On September 4th of 2007 Dell Schanze set a new world record for a Powered Skydiving Trike by reaching an altitude of 15,833 ft. Flying only a 21sm glider he stated he could have gone much higher on a normal 31sm glider so this record is only the beginning.
