Documenting the process of learning how to fly a paramotor and the journey into the sky. I like so many others have always had the dream of being able to fly ever since I was a little kid. Finally in my mid 40s I decided to make my dreams come true and decided to learn how to fly a Paramotor. Honestly it was one of the best decisions I have made and love every minute of being in the air. I simply want to share what it is like for those who aspire and dream the same dreams, or for those who would like to experience it as close as possible from a the point of view of a pilot.
After becoming an instructor I now operate a school in Central Alberta and share my passion with new pilots with the same dream! Visit my website at www.paramotorsportscanada.ca/

This whole process has been amazing and there is so much to share and experience. LIVE LIFE my friends!!
OMG ~ do you have some kind of financial interests in some of these paramotor companies? I totally have to do this now! And daughters want to go up too! :^)
I understand a guy could stay on a beginner wing forever if that's what they desire but if you had to guess about how many flights before someone could step up to a B rated wing?
I usually bookmark the wind direction when I launch as it will typically be the same direction during the flight. I also check landmarks along the way like flags, bodies of water, and any smoke in the area.
Jason, it was good to meet you that evening after you landed. I have been watching your videos for years, and they have been a big help. Thanks! Enjoy your travels! Bill (OpenPPG guy)
Thank you for talking me out of para-motor. You have no idea of how much money you saved me!!!! I wish I saw this three years ago as I could have also saved so much time wasted in pursuing/ researching this ridiculous idea and countless hours of videos. ps love your dry sense of humor and naming of video, and happy to be a new subscriber and supper thumbs up!
I don’t see the vest/gloves combo setup you have. I saw the motion heat gloves but not the vest setup. I like the idea of having thinner heated liners and then take on and off heavier outer shells as needed. For a flight suit you should check to tobe onesies!
Great to see you back. I just learned to fly paramotor this year. I bought a used Fresh Breeze 4 wheel setup about 5 hrs flight time and loving it .Perhaps I will look you up when visiting family in Grande Prairie next year. Cheers . P.S From Southern Ontario
Seems you're not using 2D steering correctly: first of all, you're constantly applying pressure, which manual says not to do. Second, you turn by using middle breaks instead of wing tips. To use wing tips you have to pull down along your body. Wing tips are super effective and pleasure to use. Other than that, I also hate all these magnets and the fact that wrong magnets constantly stick to wrong places during ground handling.
