Lolcow Dell Schanze / Dell Buck Schanze / SUPERDELL - Manic Mormon megalomaniac, armed paragliding owl kicker, Utah's official state lolcow.

[sperginity]

Dell "SUPERDELL" Schanze has been infamous in Utah since the 90's for his bizarre public behavior, unwise business dealings, failed election campaigns, and increasingly absurd criminal record. Two things are constants with Schanze- he is always doing something uniquely stupid, and it is always Satan's fault that he got in trouble for it. Schanze gained national news attention when he filmed himself kicking an owl during a paragliding session and uploaded it to YouTube, ultimately ending with Schanze pleading guilty to federal charges of "knowingly using an aircraft to harass wildlife" and "pursuing a migratory bird " (newspaper article) (archive). He has been implicated in a student death while teaching paragliding.

Video of Schanze kicking an owl:

Schanze can be heard exclaiming "WOO HOO! I JUST KICKED AN OWL IN THE BUTT!" quite clearly.

The Beginning:

SUPERDELL originally came to the public's attention via local television and radio commercials for his store, TOTALLY AWESOME COMPUTERS. Most ads consisted of Schanze manically ranting about anything except computers, often about his controversial political opinions. Few ads are available online. The surviving ad most emblematic of his style is here:

tl;dw he says "faggots" can get a special discount at his store so they can save up for a shrink

Dell also made an ad about a fictitious Indian tribe called the Shiffers, and said they all died because they had "shiffer brains" (hur hur, sounds sorta like "shit for brains"). As a Mormon he is allergic to cursing, but not racism. The ad is lost, but the butthurt lives on forever in various articles and comment sections. (original) (archive)

Schanze also recorded ads to target the better business bureau (for giving him a negative rating) and a dentist (for being "heinously evil" and "an idiot"). (news link) (archive). After the dentist dropped their defamation lawsuit, Dell bought a billboard reading "I beat the dentist and the BBB (Better Business Bureau). When your chips are down, you can count on me".

Sadly, people could not count on him for long. Totally Awesome Computers shut down after several discrimination lawsuits against Schanze by his employees, low sales, and problems with the IRS. At the store's closing, Schanze blamed Satan and the media. (archive)

And though the collapse was prefaced by dismal sales, mounting legal problems, and an IRS inquiry, Schanze had his own culprit.

"This is thanks to all of you," Schanze told reporters gathered outside the Jordan Commons Megaplex. "All the media in Utah are liars and murderers . . . . I would not want to be in your shoes having caused this. You are agents of Satan and you need to repent."

Criminal record:

In 2005, Schanze decided to speed through a suburban neighborhood in a sports car, and brandished a gun at neighbors that confronted him about his dangerous speed.

Dell Schanze: "I was absolutely shocked when I found out they're pressing charges against me, and not the bad guys, hello!?"

For Dell Schanze, the charges--reckless driving and threatening with a weapon in a fight--are an injustice. But to people who live in a Draper neighborhood, the injustice was a speeding car on their street a week and a half ago.

Witnesses say Schanze's Jaguar was going at least 50 miles per hour, so fast it brought people out of their homes. A few actually followed the car to the Hang Gliding park at the end of the street. According to a police report, when they confronted Schanze, the scene escalated.

Dell Schanze: "They're absolutely steam coming out of their ears, psycho road ragers, you have no idea, you can't trust what they're going to do."

Schanze says he was so concerned for his safety that he drew a 10 millimeter Glock handgun after one of the neighbors threatened to damage his car. That's when someone called the police. The group who confronted Schanze are now shy to comment on the incident. But 11 of them dispute Schanze's version of what happened.

This happened at the sentencing:

Dell Schanze: "If I had not had a firearm, the odds are very likely that a physical confrontation would have happened. There would have been a fight, they would have attacked me, and since I am a black belt, I probably would have had to kill two of them with my bare hands; but instead I had a gun, so no harm happened."

In 2006, Schanze was fined by the FAA and charged with a misdemeanor for flying his paraglider over morning rush hour traffic on I-15. (link) (archive)

In 2007, Schanze was again fined by the FAA for operating his paraglider dangerously, this time flying over a tour boat on the great salt lake and scaring the shit out of the people on board.
"Everybody had a blast, and one little whiner filing a complaint, you know, can cause huge damage to a whole society. It's crazy. It's not against the law." -SUPERDELL

In 2011, Schanze was arrested for jumping off the Astoria Column on the Oregon Coast, paragliding off of it and uploading a video of it to YouTube. (article) (archive)

Interviewed outside the Clatsop County Jail on Monday afternoon, Schanze said the government was stifling his creativity.

"Did they arrest the birds that fly off the tower? There is no law against what I did," he asked, adding, "The people of Astoria should fight to get a better government in place and to get rid of people who would stifle creativity."

Edited to add, it occurred to me that people might want to know what he jumped off of. The column is 125 feet tall. The gift shop next to it offers little wooden planes you can throw off of the column but there are signs warning people that nothing else is allowed to exit the top of the column. There is metal fencing at the top to prevent falling/jumping. Here's a picture of it.


In 2014, during the court appearance for kicking an owl, Dell Schanze was handcuffed and accosted by US marshals for interjecting into a case being heard before his was scheduled to start.

As he waited to be called, she was handling another defendant's case, imposing routine pre-trial conditions of release.

Schanze then stood in the courtroom.

"Your honor, may I address you?" he said. "That's totally unconstitutional."

"Sit down," Judge Wells said.

Schanze continued to address the judge as U.S. Marshals in the courtroom swarmed him.

"That's totally not cool!" Schanze protested.

"Take him into custody, please," Judge Wells snapped as he was handcuffed and led into a side-room. "Sir, when you're prepared to behave yourself in court, we'll call your case."

A few minutes later, Schanze was brought back into the courtroom, still in handcuffs.

"I would move to dismiss the case," he told the court. "It's all based on a fake YouTube video."

He was ordered to surrender his firearms and ammunition as a condition of pre-trial release, which he failed to do. His excuse in court was that a severed human head had been thrown through his window and he would be defenseless without his firearms. (article) (archive)

Spoiler: Article Cap

Schanze attempted to protest the order, and at one point he claimed complying would leave him defenseless. Schanze said that recently a human head had been tossed through his living room window.

After the hearing, Schanze declined to elaborate on the claim regarding the head. He said he would not speak with the media because he said they are all liars.

In 2019, he was charged with target shooting too close to neighbors (archive). Kind of boring except for this exchange in court:

Prosecutors also pointed to Schanze's arrest record during those same proceedings, noting that he had arrests for investigation of charges of concealed weapons violations dating back to 1992. His defense attorney countered that most, if not all, of those weapons charges were later dismissed in court.

Schanze himself told a judge that his record reads like a "record of awesomeness" and the incidents cited by prosecutors showed he was "being a hero in the community" because he was defending either himself or his family in every situation.

Political Campaigns:

Dell Schanze ran for governor in 2008 and was rejected by the Republican Party, and ran as a Libertarian. He had a robocall declaring his opponent the Antichrist, and promising that cars will run on water if he is elected.

(full audio of the robocall)

Transcription of the autodialer call to Utah voters:

HEY THERE this is super dell schanze FOR GOVERNOR, you got it, a real american is actually going to be on the ballot! this fall there's only three people on the ballot, Dell Schanze, a real american, Bob Springmyer the Democrat, who personally told me, ON THE PHONE, he does not CARE about the constitution... he actually said that! Then Theres the antichrist socialist [John] Huntsman, whose raised taxes, more than any governor, in the history of Utah, and he's taken away more of your freedoms than any governor in the history of Utah. Tell the socialists to go away! We also need to get Huntsman's thumb out of your asshole because guess what?? ALL OF OUR CARS WILL RUN ON WATER. I know my friend runs his four stroke weed eater on water! The technology is REAL and its been suppressed by socialists like Huntsman. So get those guys out of there. You only got one choice, for an american that will stand up for your rights, and the constitution. SUPERDELL SCHANZE FOR GOVERNOR! If you need more information, check out... (audio ends)

He tried running again in 2010, unsuccessfully as a Republican. He ran for governor once more in 2016 (never getting more than 3% of the vote) as a candidate for the Independent American Party and once for mayor of Sarasota Springs in 2009, also with very little votes.

Spoiler: Application Form

He seriously signs his forms ALL CAPS as SUPERDELL.

ETA: I found a copy of the voter guide for the first election.

OurCampaigns website entry on Schanze (cannot verify being banned from Wikipedia, but it is claimed on here) (archive)

The PBS station is obligated to give governor candidates screen time and here is Schanze's video. (archive)

"Righteousness is the solution to pretty much every problem."

Miscellaneous:

In 2013, a man died (archive) while being taught paragliding by Schanze. I have no idea how he wasn't charged with something.

“Over and over and over, he’s just a habitual violator of any kind of air sport we have,” said paraglider instructor Billy Purden.

Purden said when it comes to Schanze, he’s had too many bad encounters to count.

But Schanze defended his safety record, saying it was perfect until Ho’s fatal accident.

“It was a fluke thing. I could never have guessed he was going to freeze up like that,” Schanze told Fox 5.

In 2017, Dell called the news media to report on "discrimination" against himself and his wife from Trump Tower. He claims to be disabled and require a Segway to get around. Trump Tower doesn't allow Segways indoors and offers wheelchairs. The article seems to be gone (hopefully after the reporter was fired for believing any of this), but it is still on the Wayback Machine. A good quote:

""Well I have 11 vertebrates fused together. My hip is bolted on. My hands are bolted together. My neck is bolted together in two places," he said. "I fell out of a tree when I was a kid and was actually quadriplegic for a little bit ... and then a couple of motorcycle accidents later, I broke my back two more times, and so here I am!"

He even manages to look like a total piece of shit in an attempted puff piece by the local media. (archive)

After announcing Totally Awesome was out of business, Dell Schanze approached me off-camera and asked "When are you going to start reporting the truth?" So I offered Dell an opportunity to show the real Dell Schanze and give you a chance to try on Schanze's shoes, if you will. He kindly accepted.

Welcome to the high-flying world of Dell Schanze, where the sky is a sanctuary. But recently, the man who calls himself Super Dell has been grounded by some Super Problems, problems he blames entirely on the media.

Dell Schanze: "You took an enthusiastic, outgoing, friendly guy and tried to make him look psycho. It's totally and completely backwards. That's not me."

To prove his point, Schanze invited us into his very well guarded world to see for ourselves. He lives in a cozy mountain home, complete with a six foot electric fence topped with razor wire. Excessive to some, a necessity to Schanze.

Dell Schanze: "No, it's not excessive. You get Elizabeth Smart, it happens all the time. You can't even be remotely too careful."

And Schanze says he has plenty to protect. He and his wife Teresa have four kids, two girls and two boys, ages 2 to 12. According to Schanze, this is the real Super Dell.

Dell Schanze: "People are missing out on the real Super Dell. The real Super Dell is the nicest guy on the planet and it's kind of sad that people don't get to experience something like that because of a misconceptions."

Schanze admits his often arrogant and cocky persona on camera rubs some the wrong way. "Not my fault," says Schanze.

Dell Schanze: "Just because I think I'm a superhero and I love me and I think I'm great doesn't mean I think anybody is beneath me. All I'm trying to do is say, 'Hey, everybody should be the center of their own universe. Everybody should be happy with the way they are. It's not an arrogant thing; you only take it wrong if you have a low self esteem and don't really comprehend where it's coming from."

In fact, in some ways, Schanze considers his polarizing personality somewhat of a blessing.

Dell Schanze: "I kind of like being me because I have a neat ability to quickly polarize people, because mean people will be extremely mean to me and nice people will be extremely nice. So I get to tell very quickly whether somebody is a good person or a bad person."

So what now for Super Dell? Totally Awesome is no more, his trial is over?

Dell Schanze: "I'm Super Dell. I'm always going to be able to take care of myself, no matter what. I'm a superhero. I should be used as the example. I'm not the one to be concerned about. I'll be able to take care of myself."

At one point during the interview, Schanze said he was poor, no more Jaguars, no more Vipers. Instead, he's now driving a leased Volkswagen diesel. He knows because of his public persona, people won't feel sorry for him. And Super Dell, being a super hero, isn't asking for any sympathy.

Monday morning on Eyewitness News Today, Super Dell explains why he feels the media is to blame for the downfall of Totally Awesome Computers.

If you're interested in seeing Scott's interview with Super Dell in its entirety, we have it here at ksl.com.

I've found more than one paragliding website writing angry rants about how dangerous Schanze is. (link) (archive)

He is still active on Facebook, posting frequent updates about his life. (link) (archive)
Dell's YouTube channel (mostly paragliding videos) (archive)
(a page debunking a lot of his claims on YouTube) (archive)

Dell made a post on a Mormon forum which discussed his gubernatorial run:

You seriously need help with your power of discernment or you totally are not living worthily enough to use it. No I'm not mentally unstable. When mentally unstable people are attacked by 3 road ragers armed with a lethal weapon they don't react calmly and correctly. Things don't end peacefully and harmlessly. What is wrong with your brain? I taught karate for 9 years, my brain is quite solid and able to react calmly and properly even in pressure situations that would be too much for you. I seem to be able to hold my own singlehandedly against the entire evil worshipping part of Utah. I am quite solid. To suggest I'm mentally unstable is completely ignorant and quite possibly mentally unstable as it would really take a serious yoho to even suggest such a thing. Different yes, unstable NO.

Next Totally Awesome Computers didn't go out of business and I didn't lose it. I liquidated it at its peak and have been doing what I enjoy ever since. Notice the economy crashed right after I liquidated?! Yup, nice tip from God thanks and don't be second guessing him as I won't stand for it.

No I didn't routinly drive WAY above the speed limit with neighbors asking me to slow down, no I wasn't pulled over for speeding and arrested for carrying a gun. Where do you get this stuff? Are you mentally unstable? Do you just make stuff up or believe stuff aired by total liars calling themselves news?

Little reguard for others??? Hello? I've been very happily married for going on 17 years without any yelling, arguing, fighting or name calling. I have 4 totally awesome kits that are quite well raised. Again you are so out of line you are not even remotely close. Telling lies like that is heniously evil. The liar shall indeed be THRUST down to hell.

No I didn't crash into traverse mountain. Again what kind of crap is that??? Are you on drugs?? I've never even been seriously injured more than a sprain or scraped knee.

I think you have some serious repenting to do, you just posted a totally false not even close view of someone that is truely Totally Awesome. I challenge you to find any dirt on me at all that is actually true. There isn't any. Why do you think the news has to make stuff up?? Shame on you big time. You are just a discrace. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Yes you are freaking evil making that post. I suggest you apologize and then repent.

I am Dell Schanze known as SUPERDELL. Yup it is me. If you don't believe it then feel free to give me a call at 801-631-1731. I am a real person, I know who I am and you obviously don't have a clue so stop making crap up. I still love you though and will be happy to take you flying if you are nice and say sorry.

Dell has a really insane Blogspot: http://dellschanze.blogspot.com/ (http://archive.md/oThkf)

He seems to have nuked the posts where he talks about Satan and posted inspirational quotes from himself that I remember reading years ago, leaving mostly paragliding shit, but there is still a lot of crazy left here. There are also some rants left on the Wayback Machine that are more in line with what I remember.
https://web.archive.org/web/20100118163335/http://dellschanze.blogspot.com/
This is a rant that I am assuming is directed towards Sarasota Springs after he lost the mayoral election. It is from 2009 so that would be the correct timeframe.

Here is what life could have been like had you voted for an American...
(broken video)

Instead you went to work 8 hours, wasting half an hour for lunch and 2 breaks of 15 minutes each all to give most of your money to a communist who thinks they know how to spend it better than you. Then you wasted away in front of the TV watching socialists pretending to do "news" destroy in your brain the entire concept of America, a free market, constitutional and God given freedom while they flooded your mind with impure thoughts, completely anti-Christ ideology and convinced you that you are meaningless, powerless and nothing you do makes a difference.

Then show after show impressing on your mind that marriages all fail so why try, abortion is the answer and that it is ok to be a total scumbag and sleep around and that you should be tolerant of others who commit horrible ObamaNations. Then they slipped in how all gun owners are "nuts" and that there is no need to be prepared to defend yourself, your rights, your liberties and your faith.

Every wonder why KSL contracted hundreds of billboards around Utah trying to make you think they are "Reliable" and "Trustworthy"? Do you think for one second the person creating those billboards were the real people faking the stories pooring out to you what they truely feel in their soul?

Then you sat down at your computer knowing you were totally screwed because you didn't stand up for SUPERDELL, so those hundreds of jobs left Utah because you allowed the total liars in the media to convince you the only guy who told you the truth was actually a "convicted liar", "Pulls guns on fathers of children" "Drives recklessly endangering children" "Racially and religiously discriminates against others"... Now where are you going to buy a computer from an honest person who will tell you the truth and really do everything they can to build you the very best computer possible for the money? Who? Why did you allow the media to flat out lie to you like that and you just eat it up? Now where are you going to buy a computer from an honest person? Do you think one exists?

Do you think a person of such moral character that they would PAY MONEY to the terrorist network of KSL, channel 4, 2 and 13 to tell you what a hired liar told them to air... do you think that person is going to actually help you? Do you seriously think ANY honorable person would advertise on satan's networks? Pooring money into a system to deprive you of truth, virtue, morality?

One of those angels of hell called me the othe day, trying to fish out a story suggesting that I called the employer of one of my fellow mayoral candidates and tried to get them fired. They didn't want to know about the inventions that would help all people in Utah. They didn't want to know about free energy they themselves deprived you of when they tried to make all the good candidates look like loonies while making the socialists look like the "safe" choice. Do you think you will ever hear the truth from an angel of hell? Have you EVER talked to someone that has experienced the "news" first hand that says they got the story right??? Ever? Have you ever heard of a celebrity say how noble the media was in how they portrayed the story about them??? Even one? Anyone at all?

Why do you think they keep making movies portraying the "reporter" as the good guy trying to get the story out and warn the people?? Are you a complete idiot? Do you understand the power of the media and who controls it?

Anyhow go back to work tomorrow. Slack off doing just barely enough to keep from getting fired while continuing to support those who feed money to the terrorist network of KSL trying to destroy your life with socialism. Just forget what some guys says who "pulls guns on fathers of children" that never saw a gun and even put in their police report they never saw a gun.

Just ignore the illegal police barracades stopping people illegally, searching people illegally, throwing people in jail illegally. What business is that of yours? What do you care about crazy guys "reckless driving" who are denied legal council, denied a jury trial and throw in jail after a fake trial? Is the corruption in government your sin even though you voted for the corrupt candidates because you believed the flat out lies of KSL and the rest of the angels of hell? Of course you are not going to do anything about it. You will just mind your own business because you were convinced by the shows on TV that it isn't cool to speak up and fight for the truth. You certainly wouldn't want to be the "boy scout" or "goodie goodie" now would you?

So never mind, do nothing about the horrible injustices. Donate nothing to the honorable candidates made to look like loonies. Continue to talk bad about those crazy do gooders like George Washinton who faught with his life to free you from high taxes. Ignore Thomas Jefferson's quotes about God and the importance of being a Christian nation. Besides, you don't know what to do about any of these injustices anyway so why worry about it... go back to bed so you can continue your slavery tomorrow.

JFC.

Well once again it seems the people of Utah want to incur the wrath of God. Supposedly the majority voted for more babe executions, more government, thousands more laws and socialism to rule every aspect of their lives. We are led to believe that the Republican Party chose a non republican as their candidate of choice. Again! So now your only choice on the ballot will be socialism. Not one single American, as in one who actually believes in a free country, made the ballot for governor.

Well many have made their choice and now they will have to live with it. So now another 2 years with further destruction and mayhem. As a parent would you not discipline your children? Do you think God will do nothing when you vote to remove him from school and government? Do you SERIOUSLY think God is going to “bless amerika” when it chooses evil, slavery and destruction of freedom and righteousness??

Do the people of Utah reaaaally want to give $2000 of their money away for no good reason when they buy a car? Do they really want to work half their lives only to throw gobs of money into a black hole of Godlessness? Who wants to be a slave? Who likes writing that check to give away everything they have left at the end of the year to a Godless government that wastes it?

Years and years ago we actually had a prophet of God as our governor in Utah. That quickly ended when the federal government stepped in and said oh no to that one. Well I for one would like to see men who follow God in charge in government so that our direction can be guided by God himself. If you don’t follow God, you certainly won’t get to where he wants you to go.

SUPERDELL For Governor, The Leading Republican Candidate

The very best way to help the economy is through righteousness. How can we allow 4000-5000 abortions per year, ban God from schools and government buildings, enslave the people of Utah through communist federal programs and then expect to prosper??? All the oil we need is right here in Utah. All the money we need to explode the economy is right here in Utah but being taken and wasted by the federal government. We need to cut ties to ObamaNation. We cannot take part in or sit idly by and do nothing about ObamaNation and expect to prosper. It just doesn’t work that way. If elected I will do everything possible to restore our government to the way God intended it to be. I will do everything possible to end all federal income tax and communist programs. Utah will work towards freedom and prosperity the way the majority of Utahans truly believe in.

Just imagine what would happen to the Utah economy if we were not slaves to ridiculous levels of federal taxes. If people keep the money they make, they will spend it and grow businesses in every manner. No matter what we do though, we cannot prosper through unrighteousness. We are still one nation under God and no matter how loudly a small minority want to argue with it, we cannot deny that fact. We are a Christian nation. The entire Republican platform is based on that fact.

Christian leaders urge all people to vote for the candidates that will stand most closely to Christian principles. I don’t know of one single Christian leader that urges people to vote for the lesser of 2 evils, rather they want you to vote for the BEST candidate regardless of what is popular. If you choose the right, you will be blessed for it regardless of the outcome.

As usual one of our biggest enemies to freedom in Utah is the media portraying themselves as “news”. They deny the Christian candidates to participate in debates, they spread completely false information about those most dedicated to fighting for your freedoms, and time after time they twist information to lead people to believe things that are not accurate in order to sway votes towards complete communism. If you voted completely on the basis of whom was smeared the most in the media you would vote almost exclusively for the best defenders of freedom. Wake up Utah, if you get your “news” from those trying to destroy your freedoms then how can you possibly expect to prosper?? Everything you need to know about our government you can get from the scriptures. Read them every single day and you will start to more fully understand exactly what is going on in our world. History has repeated itself over and over and over. We are yet another cycle of gain riches, become arrogant and wicked and along comes destruction. There is no reason to be completely blind. Because of unrighteousness and those voting to take from those who work hard and give to those who don’t are the cause of the current destruction. Get educated, read from the very best books and get in tune with the spirit of God that is working so hard to get your attention and encourage you to do the right thing.

Once again I’m on top in the polls which you certainly won’t see in any “TV news” reports:

Utah News | KSL.com

The KSL.COM Website

www.ksl.com

I was in the top of their poll last time as well but then ignored as a candidate and even though I won their own poll they suggested the debate was only for the “major” candidates. Don’t believe anything you see in the media. They do NOT want you to know anything about the REAL candidates.

The darkness that overshadows us CAN be cast off. Look to those who follow God to lead the way through the darkness. None else can help you; the blind leading the blind has gotten us to where we are. It is way past time to stand up and fight for real candidates that are real people who you can really talk to and who will really do everything they can to help before and after elected. I know people are far past tired of the downward spiral into communism. Vote for the candidates that most closely reflect true Christian values and you will be blessed for it no matter the outcome.

Sincerely,

Dell Schanze

SUPERDELL For Governor

If you vote for anyone but me, what do you think your odds are of getting lower taxes? Zero? What do you think your odds are of improving education? What are the odds that anyone but me will STAND for even the most standard Christian principles? Pretty much everyone knows that socialism is taking over but they keep voting for the same types of people over and over and over expecting a different outcome. People already know voting for the typical candidate isn't going to change anything but rather it keeps making it worse and worse and worse. I know that as well which is why I wanted to ensure at least one candidate would be a real person. One who would do what is right and ignore pressure from any and all sides that would entice them to do anything other than the right thing. People have a choice once again, they can vote for wisdom and freedom. There may be other good candidates but there is no question I am a Christian American.

SUPERDELL

And so on.

It turns out that Dell was in The Singles Ward, a Mormon romantic comedy that virtually everyone in the state has seen. It was a brief cameo as "the Star Trek guy" (archive).

Found a parenting video where SUPERDELL treats his 2 year old like a dog for "obedience training"

Spoiler: obedience training for kids

Dell's latest YouTube video is him walking up a pole with his paragliding shit, getting unusually jazzed about it. It is titled "Only 1 Person On Earth Can Do This!!! Paramotor Grand Master SUPERDELL Walks Up A Pole!!!"

He charges $2500 a person for paragliding training at U-Turn Paramotors (archive).

Dell "SUPERDELL" Schanze has been infamous in Utah since the 90's for his bizarre public behavior, unwise business dealings, failed election campaigns, and increasingly absurd criminal record. Two things are constants with Schanze- he is always doing something uniquely stupid, and it is always satan's fault that he got in trouble for it. Schanze gained national news attention when he filmed himself kicking an owl during a paragliding session and uploaded it to youtube, ultimately ending with Schanze pleading guilty to federal charges of "knowingly using an aircraft to harass wildlife" and "pursuing a migratory bird " (newspaper article) (arcive). He has been implicated in a student death while teaching paragliding.
Video of schanze kicking an owl:

Schanze can be heard exclaiming "WOO HOO! I JUST KICKED AN OWL IN THE BUTT!" quite clearly.

The Beginning:

SUPERDELL originally came to the public's attention via local television and radio commercials for his store, TOTALLY AWESOME COMPUTERS. Most ads consisted of Schanze manically ranting about anything except computers, often about his controversial political opinions. Few ads are available online. The surviving ad most emblematic of his style is here:

tl;dw he says "faggots" can get a special discount at his store so they can save up for a shrink

Dell also made an ad about a ficticious indian tribe called the Shiffers, and said they all died because they had "shiffer brains" (hur hur, sounds sorta like "shit for brains"). As a mormon he is allergic to cursing, but not racism. The ad is lost but the butthurt lives on forever in various articles and comment sections. (original) (archive)

Schanze also recorded ads to target the better business bureau (for giving him a negative rating) and a dentist (for being "heniously evil" and "an idiot"). (news link) (archive). After the dentist dropped their defamation lawsuit, Dell bought a billboard reading "I beat the dentist and the BBB (Better Business Bureau). When your chips are down, you can count on me."

Sadly, people could not count on him for long. Totally Awesome Computers shut down after several discrimination lawsuits against Schanze by his employees, low sales, and problems with the IRS. At the store's closing Schanze blamed satan and the media. (archive)


Criminal record:

In 2005, Schanze decided to speed through a suburban neighborhood in a sports car, and brandished a gun at neighbors that confronted him about his dangerous speed.

article (archive)

in 2006 Schanze was fined by the FAA and charged with a misdomenor for flying his paraglider over morning rush hour traffic on I-15. (link) (archive)

in 2007, Schanze was again fined by the FAA for operating his paraglider dangerously, this time flying over a tour boat on the great salt lake and scaring the shit out of the people on board.
"Everybody had a blast, and one little whiner filing a complaint, you know, can cause huge damage to a whole society. It's crazy. It's not against the law." -SUPERDELL
(link) (archive)

In 2011, Schanze was arrested for jumping off the Astoria Column on the Oregon Coast, paragliding off of it and uploading a video of it to youtube. (article) (archive)



In 2014, during the court appearance for kicking an owl, dell schanze was handcuffed and accosted by US marshalls for interjecting into a case being heard before his was scheduled to start.


He was ordered to surrender his firearms and ammunition as a condition of pre-trial release, which he failed to do. His excuse in court was that a severed human head had been thrown through his window and he would be defenseless without his firearms. (article) (archive)



2019: charged with target shooting too close to neighbors. (archive) Kind of boring except for this exchange in court:




Political Campaigns:

Dell Schanze ran for governor in 2008 and was rejected by the republican party, and ran as the independent party candidate. He had a robocall declaring his opponent the antichrist.

(full audio of the robocall)

He ran for governor once more in 2016 (never getting more than 3% of the vote) and once for mayor of Sarasota springs in 2009, also with very little votes.

lol he seriously signs his forms ALL CAPS as SUPERDELL

The PBS station is obligated to give governor candidates screen time and here is Schanze's video. (archive)

"righteousness is the solution to pretty much every problem"




Miscellaneous:

in 2013 a man died while being taught paragliding by Schanze. I have no idea how he wasn't charged with something. (archive)




In 2017 dell called the news media to report on "discrimination" against himself and his wife from trump tower. He claims to be disabled and require a segway to get around. Trump tower doesn't allow segways indoors and offers wheelchairs. The article seems to be gone (hopefully after the reporter was fired for believing any of this), but it is still on the way back machine. A good quote:



He even manages to look like a total piece of shit in an attempted puff piece by the local media. (archive)


I've found more than one paragliding website writing angry rants about how dangerous Schanze is. (link)(archive)



He is still active on facebook, posting frequent updates about his life. (link) (archive)

This man looks and sounds like he has cocaine instead of blood.

This man looks and sounds like he has cocaine instead of blood.

Is he related to Charlie Sheen by any chance? They have Coke for veins

 

[sperginity]

This man looks and sounds like he has cocaine instead of blood.

pretty sure its untreated bipolar I. Chemically, it is a lot like being on amphetamines 24/7. He did have to do a court ordered psych evaluation after flying low over the interstate highway, so there is some proof somewhere of his specific psychiatric condition that may come out eventually. Like if he ends up in the shots fired forum someday.

 

[The Manglement]

That political call is amazing. He calls Jon Huntsman, (now Ambassador to Russia under Trump) a socialist, and the antichrist. He also accuses socialists (?) of suppressing water-as-fuel technology. It's a minute long and it is almost perfectly crazy.

I am planning to transcribe it at some point, it doesn't seem like anyone has.
eta- I added a transcription. I totally fucking forgot the part where he says cars will run on water.

He seems funny, but how much of his content is online? Does he have other places where he posts often?

All the other paragliding instructors are so pissy about him in part because he spams youtube with so many of the videos, I would say that is most of his content right now.

eta- I FORGOT HIS BLOGSPOT. OH MY GOD. Give me a minute to edit the OP.


edit 2-Ok it is up to speed.

He really does post frequently on facebook, it would be hard to catch crazy things when he posts every stupid mundane thing that happens on FB. He did go to fucking japan this year so he isn't broke. I don't know how he makes so much money.

NGL, this OP kinda took it out of me today, any help rounding up things about him is totally welcome & of course I give credit when I add it to the OP.

Before reading the thread and seeing the mugshot, you know this had to happen.

american is actually going to be on the ballot! (inaudible)
I know my friend runs his (inaudable) weed eater on water

The first one is "this fall!" and the second one is "four stroke." Its very important, as my two stroke just skips a few times then falls right in.

“It was a fluke thing. I could never have guessed he was going to freeze up like that,” Schanze told Fox 5.

I think this is the craziest thing about this guy. The way this quote is worded I could see him either:

1. Saying it nonchalantly, almost like he expected the kid to die, or
2. Dropping his positive act and actually showing some remorse.

Are there any pictures of his house? I wanna see this fence.
----------------------------
Addendum
----------------------------
Checked out his Facebook a bit. He recently went on a trip to Japan with his wife.


His about me is also fairly limited, but I think the high school attended one is pretty funny.

the person who died was a middle aged man I believe? I guarantee he said it nonchalantly.

thank you for the help, I've amended the original transcript.

I don't believe he has the saragota springs address anymore, so I don't think I can get pictures of the schanze razorwire compound. I'll do more snooping later.

Most people in the area wait for dell to get arrested again to get updates on him, so there is likely a lot of untapped potential in his FB, which he doesn't seem to protect at all. Despite owning a computer store he doesn't seem technologically savvy (like when he was trying to say that the youtube uploads he made to his own channel were faked). Unless some poo toucher fucks it all up I would say he will probably keep oversharing on FB for the rest of the foreseeable future.

His application form has him listed at 6695 N 7300 W, American Fork, Utah, and looking it up he doesn’t have the fence and it’s a surprisingly large house.

I think this is the same article you pulled your quote from, (archive isn’t working for me, will try again later)

Schanze said it was hard at first to deal with the accident, “but now I realize I couldn’t have done anything more. I am the best instructor and the leader of the biggest paragliding school in the world, and this is the first death I’ve ever had in my 12 years of instructing.

So he might’ve felt something at first.

Is he rich, or does he launder money, because his house is fairly large, this sport he’s involved in seems pricey, and he’s going on trips abroad?

I'm not totally convinced that is his house. You can't get a good look on google, but on bing maps the street view is of a warehouse looking structure with no windows or fence. The KSL article referencing the razor wire shows him in a normal looking house (drywall and such) with a big window behind his computer desk. It's kind of a confused timeline with at least 3 houses (saragota springs, american fork, and sandy), but possibly more.

 

[Ronnie Rocket]

Do the people of Utah reaaaally want to give $2000 of their money away for no good reason when they buy a car? Do they really want to work half their lives only to throw gobs of money into a black hole of Godlessness? Who wants to be a slave? Who likes writing that check to give away everything they have left at the end of the year to a Godless government that wastes it?

Bruh, you give 10% of your income to the church.

 

[The Reaper]

Found this, his paraglider and paramotor gear website (archive was six years old, so I resnapped it). Found it on one of his videos on the Youtube channel.

I guess he was in a Discovery Channel video at some point. He claims he did break 11 vertebrae in a motor cycle accident, and also shattered his hip, had his hands bolted together, and lost a finger in the process. He doesn't show the finger in the video. He claims to have designed a lot of the gear he sells, focusing on modernizing the paragliding gear and emphasizing safety above all else.

From the training page (archive) from his website.

Spoiler: Its long.

Training


Training: Getting the very best training can be broken down into 4 simple elements:
1) The very best instructor: First you need to find the very best pilot and instructor. The WPPGA Paramotor World Champion and US National Glider Control Champion is none other than SUPERDELL Schanze. This is the guy that has set just about every record and first in the sport and you can see him all over youtube doing things no other pilots on earth can do. Not only is he the very best paramotor pilot the world has ever seen but he is also the very best instructor. He trains more people than anyone else in the world and they come from all over the world to train with him exclusively. Is it better to train with the master or a student? If you don’t take the SUPER training then you will likely be training with one of SUPERDELL’S students. His students are lead instructors for schools like Superfly, Paratoys, Flyhalo, Eastcoast PPG and a list of others. If our competitors hire our new students as their instructors it pretty much goes without saying that SUPER training is the very best in the world. Why train with a student when you can train directly with the master himself? SUPERDELL doesn’t hire some joe blow to do his instruction. He does it personally. Now while there are often expert assistant instructors helping out depending on the class sizes the main instruction is always done by the master himself. Also the guy helping you and the guy on radio for your very first flights is none other than the very best in the world himself. There is simply no replacement for experience. Getting the very best instruction is not just your life but it will determine your whole experience in the sport. So #1 on your list should be getting with the very best instructor and that is without question SUPERDELL Schanze. He is so good that his competitors have done everything they possibly can to discredit him. You can see lists of websites bashing, trashing and lying about him in every single way trying to eek out a few students for themselves by using mass disinformation. From fake videos lying that he kicked an owl to suggesting he buys up shelter dogs and fights them to the death, those that don’t have the skill or ability to compete honestly and fairly have made up every lie they possibly could. If you look around for who has the skill though and look at the sheer number of not just those he has trained but their skills and what they have achieved in the sport the facts don’t lie. SUPERDELL is the very best instructor in the world. He is also the tandem instructor administrator who passes off other instructors with their legit BFI (basic flight instructor) rating which is legally required to take passengers. So if you ever want to fly tandem with passengers you will need to take the SUPER training anyway. Countless numbers of people have trained elsewhere only to find that the “free” training or 4 day class with joe blow who has only been flying for 5 months just doesn’t get make you into a skilled pilot. You can see videos of our students who have first gone to 2-3 other schools for training before they finally came to the best. They alll recount the same thing; they learned more in the first hours with SUPERDELL then they did in all their other training and previous experience. Don’t waste your time, money or safety with less than the best. Just do it right the first time.
[embedded videos from his Youtube channel removed to focus on the text.]

2) The optimal location: The perfect location is another critical element in getting proper training. The first part of proper training is absolutely mastering control of the glider by flying it like a big kite for 15-40 hours with the best instructor in the world helping you every step of the way with every detail of glider control, body posture and fundamentals that go into true mastery of glider control. How do you fly a kite for 15-40 hours though in a location without consistent wind? You don’t. Trying to train in some farmers field in Ohio for example just isn’t going to happen. Without consistent wind it could literally take 6 months or more to try to get 15-40 hours of real glider control. That is why we travel to the absolute perfect and most optimal locations for training. In the locations we use we often get consistent winds all day upward of 10-12 hours or more per day. This is the only possible way to get the sheer hours of practice required to really master the skills in only a 10 day class. Often the first question people ask is where can I get “local” training? It just isn’t cost effective to try to train in a location that doesn’t have optimal wind. Once you learn how to fly you don’t need any wind at all so you can fly pretty much anywhere anytime but for training having the perfect wind all day long is absolutely critical. So it is by far more cost effective to just travel to the perfect location as apposed to skimping on proper training or trying to squeeze out a few minutes here and there in less than optimal locations. From years and years and years of experience we know without question it is absolutely critical to travel to the perfect location for training or it just doesn’t get done right. Now another huge issue with “local training” is that “local instructors” often feel they have to skip the hard parts of training and get people to the fun part of flying as quickly as possible or they get a high drop out rate. Another great thing about traveling to SUPER training is that you are then a captive audience and the instructors don’t have to worry about skimping on the hard work it takes to get it done right as they don’t have to worry that you won’t come back the next day. Plus training in the perfect most beautiful location is just a lot more comfortable and feels more like an adventure vacation then the sweltering heat and bugs you might get in farmer joes field or the dangers of getting chucked off a cliff on your first days of “training” at some “free flying site”. Those who are dedicated to learning to fly the right way can just make time for the best training in the world in the best location. Other groups admit drop out rates over 80% where those that go to SUPER training have about a 95% chance of becoming very skilled pilots. Perfect practice makes perfect and the way to get the most possible practice is by traveling to the most optimal location to make that possible.

3) Safest & best gear: All the very best gear is provided for you at SUPER training for no extra charge. We use all the very best and latest gear with all the latest technology and safety features. SUPER training has the largest inventory of equipment in the world with upwards of 60 different wings to choose from and often a dozen different paramotors. All too often “training” elsewhere you get stuck on the one old beat up wing & motor and that is all you have. Or you are forced to train on YOUR gear that you had to purchase before training. If you damage the gear you might very well be grounded blowing the whole training opportunity. We have a pile of gear and gear for every size, weight, age and wind condition. Lighter winds to high winds we have the gear to keep on training. From speed wings for high winds to every size and tons of different models for every stage of training we’ve got you covered. Nowhere else on earth do you have this much equipment available to you. Even if you purchase gear through us you won’t have to use your gear for training. You can train on the exact same type of gear so you know exactly what it is like but we let you beat up our gear for your training instead of putting all that wear and tear on your nice new gear. Imagine putting upwards of 80 hours on your nice new gear during training and what that would cost in depreciation. By using our gear for your training you literally save almost the whole cost of the training class just in saving you from wear & tear on your gear. Plus since we have every single size glider as your skills progress you can progress to smaller & smaller gliders and many different models without being stuck on just one single wing to train with. Higher winds, no wind we’ve got you covered with the perfect gear. Pilots from 80 lbs to 400 lbs we have the right gear and tons of it. Zero people have ever died on Flat Top paramotors. They are the safest most durable and most reliable paramotors on the market and you only train on the very best and safest gear at SUPER training to continue our track record of having the very best safety on earth. Flat Top paramotors are the ONLY paramotors that have crumple zones, protection from the prop, quick release harnesses, handless seating, face plant protection, trigger throttles with a grip safety and the hundreds of other safety advancements that are so critical to preventing all the know issues in the sport. Especially on your first flights it is absolutely critical that you are on the very latest and safest gear that is all in perfect working order and precisely maintained by the best staff in the world.

4) The best method: Mastering control of your paraglider BEFORE you fly is well proven to be the very best and safest way to really become a true paraglider/paramotor/trike pilot. Sadly the vast majority of others out there focus only on getting you into the air which has caused lists of injuries & deaths. A paraglider is really an incredible aircraft in the fact that you can almost completely learn how to fly it without ever leaving the ground. By flying it like a great big kite you can learn, progress and master the skills to control it BEFORE you get in the sky. There are really only 2 methods out there. Those that chuck people into the sky BEFORE they even learn to control the aircraft and those that take the time to really do it right and ensure people truly master the skills it takes to control the glider perfectly BEFORE you get into the sky. This doesn’t take a pilot or much intelligence at all to figure which one is best. You can see lists of our videos where every single student can control the wing with no hands on the controls at all and even kite the wing with their eyes closed BEFORE they get in the sky. It literally takes about 15-40 hours of practice controlling the paraglider to really be able to master the skills like this. There is absolutely no possible way you are not only going to master the skills of controlling a paraglider AND have time left to master the skills & launch, landing, flight, maneuvers, soaring, thermaling and other skills in a 3-4 or even 5-7 day class. From years and years of experience we have found that 10 days works the very best. It can only be done in 10 days in the perfect location where you have consistent enough weather to get that much practice into those 10 days. It can ONLY be done with proper instruction from true instructors that actually have the skills. Kiting is not something you go pick up on your own as there are so many tiny little details to glider control that you wouldn’t know what to practice. So make sure you don’t go trying it on your own before SUPER training. Without a master instructor ensuring you practice correctly with every tiny detail that goes into doing it right you would only pick up bad habits trying to do it on your own or trying to learn from “instructors” that don’t even have a mastery level of skills themselves. The best and only method to really learn how to fly properly and in only 10 days is to come to SUPER training. You literally can’t afford not to do SUPER training. One little oops elsewhere and you could end up spending more in repairs to your gear then the whole SUPER training class costs.

THE GUARANTEE: Our training is so good that if you damage any gear during our training WE will pay for it and not you. Just this one factor can and will save you more than the entire cost of SUPER training. Anywhere else YOU will have to pay for any damage done to the gear you train on. Those who have trained elsewhere have reported to spending over $10,000 just in repairs to the gear they trained on. At SUPER training we guarantee our gear and training is so good that we know the odds of you damaging anything are very very slim. We put our money where our mouth is when it comes to your skills & safety. If you trash our $12,000 worth of gear or shred a $4000 glider during SUPER training WE will pay for it and not you. That is yet another huge gigantic factor as that one detail will almost for sure save you more than the entire cost of SUPER training all together. No other school on earth has a guarantee like this because no other school offers the quality of instruction and equipment that we do.

U-Turn USA and powered paragliding has once again almost taken the aviation world into the realms of science fiction. Paragliding is sometimes known as paramotoring and it is a form of ultralight aviation. The pilot wears a small motor on his/her back called a paramotor and energetically runs into the air producing lift from a paraglider wing. Powered paragliding differs from powered parachuting in that powered paragliders use an extremely efficient wing which aids the lifting process. U-Turn USA’s innovative wing allows the small and light motor to be carried on the pilot’s back for a running foot launch but does necessitate a more experienced and competent handling.

The ever-increasing popularity of the sport of powered paragliding is probably due to the low, slow flowing capacity and the totally free and open-air sensation that the pilot does not experience with a conventional light aircraft. Compact and lightweight portability and low and affordable costs of the maintenance of the equipment are major advantages for U-Turn USA and its powered paragliding machine’s enthusiastic sporting participants. The paramotor weighs anywhere between forty-five and eighty pounds, easily enabling the pilot to wear and support it on his/her back during during the lift-off phase. With an enthusiastic but brief run the wing will lift the motor and the harnessed pilot successively.

After this simple take-off the pilot eases him/herself into the seat that was folded during the launch and comfortably sits back while suspended below the inflated paraglider wing. Utilising the brake “toggles” in each hand together with a hand-held throttle control of the powered paraglider is simplistically available. U-Turn USA have designed and produced a powered paraglider that can fly at speeds between fifteen and forty-five miles per hour. Altitudes of eighteen thousand feet can be attained but just about all flying is kept at below five hundred feet above ground level.

In several countries, including the United States, this powered paragliding sport is minimally regulated. No license or specific course of training is essential either in the United States or the United Kingdom. Receiving instruction and advice from a seasoned and professional powered paragliding instructor is highly recommended by U-Turn USA Those countries that do require authentic certification often solicit the use of non-governmental ultralight organizations for this purpose. A pilot of a powered paragliding machine could invest between one to four weeks getting through the syllabus required by most organizations.

With special gear U-Turn USA has made possible the taking “on board” of a second person but few countries, including the United States, would countenance this tandem flying without some form of instruction and certification. Lightweight carts or “trikes” can be mounted on powered paragliders for the further enjoyment of those pilots who prefer not to foot-launch or for those who for some reason are unable to. Research has produced statistics to show that powered paragliding is safer than riding a motorcycle. Some pilots even carry a spare parachute that is designed to open from as little as fifty feet. U-Turn USA together with its powered paraglider has made possible the means for almost anyone to follow the age-old dream of man to fly.

Are we about to take a Kiwi Paramotor training trip from "The Master" himself?

This is the single best temporal clause I have ever read.

Sorry the archive links were all fucked up. I fixed them.

I spoke to some people that lived in utah at the time and they told me SUPERDELL had an infomercial for his advice. It wasn't for his store or a book or anything, just him talking to the camera about parenting. When I google it I find message boards with people who remember the same thing. It ran really late at night on K-JAZZ. I can't find it online but I am going to be looking into ways to find this treasure IRL.

edit- I have also found out that an ex-employee has blogged about SUPERDELL. In this post we find out that dell regularly conceal carries in a fanny pack. https://www.joelevi.com/video-stand-up-comedy-superdell-part-2/ (archive)

Would Superdell Schanze make a good stand up comic? According to what we saw in this video, not really — he came in dead last. Oh, and that fanny pack that he says is trying to hide his “reaction to the hot girls in the front row” with is actually his lawfully carried concealed firearm.

What you’re about to see is seven painful minutes of Dell Schanze trying to be funny — and failing. Miserably.

Below this you can see a youtube video that has been removed "due to a copyright claim by Dell Schanze - Totally Awesome Computers".

Dell's behavior in Imperial Beach CA caused the city to enact an emergency ordinance to ban all paragliding. Google backs up this employees claim, with newspapers reporting the same. This is from 2012.

SuperDell apparently wants to start a paragliding school in Imperial Beach, California — according to the report, he’s already applied for a business license.


Unfortunately, in true SuperDell style, he went and messed up his chances before they even got off the ground — pardon the pun.


Like what he did in Astoria, Oregon not long ago, Dell found someplace to jump from with his paraglider on his back. In this case it was a house by the beach. He landed in the sand.


San Diego County Sheriff’s deputies cited him and filed a report with the Federal Aviation Administration.


“No matter how you control [paragliders], there’s a possibility of hitting beachgoers. We have a very small, narrow beach. We have buildings that you can run into, ” said Imperial Beach Public Safety Director Tom Clark.


According to the report, this stunt violates FAA regulations because of the nearby military bases in Imperial Beach and Coronado.


After his stunt the Imperial Beach City Council enacted an emergency ordinance which bans paragliding, powergliding and ultralight aircraft — something they may not have authority to do, since airspace falls under the jurisdiction of the FAA.

I'll add more later.
