“Super Dell” Schanze, a Utah version of Crazy Eddie, is being charged with harassing a migratory owl with a powered paraglider. Video here.
Obligatory link to one of his ads.
He’s facing various charges, although it remains to be seen if he can get off with a crazy plea.
Maybe it was the owls?
What a piece of shit. If it was him. Whoever that was, that person is a piece of shit. I await the karmic results. I can wait.
I love that the judge didn’t ask him to elaborate about the human head. Curiosity would have gotten the better of me.
But I doubt this will be the last we here of this guy. I have a feeling it’s not going to end well for him.
Huh, from the text of the OP in the mouseover, I was expecting some “oh noes your house is in the owls way” type of treehugger nonsense, but watching the video, damn, actually chasing down a flying owl? The fuck?
The judge had ordered that all his guns were to be taken from his house. If his enemies are catapulting human heads, I’m not sure that guns would have stopped that. Anti-head missilies are obviously the way to go.
I had always assumed that people doing the Crazy Eddie type of commercials were just doing an act. That’s what you get for making assumptions.
Head-seeking, perhaps?
My hat’s off to you.
The secret to getting a head in life.
I remember “SuperDell” from his earlier exploits in powered paragliding. Since then I see he has split from all of the PPG organizations that required actual experience to be an instructor. He has formed the World Powered Paragliding Association to certify his own instructors, rate equipment, and promote his own business. Since then he has flying sites shut down because of his unsafe flying, including the entire coast of Oregon. Worse, he was instructing a student at a closed site ( that was shut down because of him). The student crashed into nearby rocks and was killed. Superdell denied that the student had any connection to his school. Dell also directly caused a crash onto a frozen lake by another PPG pilot by tangling and collapsing that pilots wing. There is a couple of anti-Dell web sites on the web, as well as a pile of “show-off” videos showing very unsafe flying.
If this fool had to answer to the FAA he would be grounded and in jail
I heard that he got his start in a store that was jam-packed to the point where all hands had to spend every waking moment running fans to get air in and clear the flood of incoming junk out.
He led a strike for better working conditions.
