Welcome. I don’t use this much blog anymore, but there is still some good content here from back in the day, and I still travel a lot. Now though I just share on my Facebook and Youtube channels and then share that content here.
Paramotoring in Puerto Morelos, Mexico. This was my 24th and 25th flight but my first proper flight on the Caribbean coast. It was an amazing couple flights with a spectacular view. [vc_video link=’https://youtu.be/02pFDl9T0z0′] Check out more Paramotor videos here on my channel… The wind has
[vc_video link=’https://youtu.be/6yL3hxi4JoQ’] Check out my other Paramotor videos here! I had not flown for 6 months so could not wait to get back up on my paramotor. Which is why I made a bad decision to fly even though I knew it was not good
It has been just over a year now since I first got into the Powered Paragliding game. So far I have taken my flying through three countries but really haven’t flown anywhere near enough. Mostly because being a beginner it was hard to find places
My second powered paragliding flight back in the USA was without a doubt a doozy with some fairly intense turbulence. It also marked my twentieth flight which when I look back over how hard it was to get to this point, makes me fairly proud of
Back in the USA for the first time after my training here just over nine months ago and I had my first Powered Paragliding flight in an amazing location, the Jean Dry Lake Bed outside of Las Vegas. I put together what I think is
What is it like to watch a sunset over the ocean from seventeen hundred feet in the air while sitting on your own private swing? Watch the video to find out and then have a read about an amazing day. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCZej_Mf3No?rel=0] After two weeks
It had been about a week since I had flown, and I was starting to get that feeling again, you know the one I mean, the one that says “You should really be doing such and such”. I still struggle with this sometimes. The feeling that there are
Oh my God that is the most awesome thing I have ever seen!!! …is what you will be saying by the end of this Paramotoring video. Actually I don’t mean to be flippant about these things, but I think this is definitely the best paramotor
I have now gotten up in the air here in La Penita on two separate occasions. Both times I was on the verge of soiling my pants, but this last time I actually managed, in between large bouts of fear, not to soil my pants
Slowly but surely we are edging our way back to what is the new normal in our lives, travelling without travelling, living without the regular rules, and just enjoying being alive. For a little while there these things left us, me in particular, and the
I finally have my engine back, and it actually engines! It has been about a month since my paramotor engine blew a piston, although it feels like much longer. I was just starting to get really confident with the whole flying thing when it
No more Powered paragliding for this fella. Check out the video below and then have a read as to why. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDWn6WU2IXA?rel=0] I have blown a hole in the piston of my Paramotor. After a total of about 3 hours flying, at about 100
So now we are in Guatemala I am lucky enough to have found a trainer for Powered Paragliding. I say lucky because although I had a few great sessions with my paramotor trainer Joe Cruz at the Blackhawk Paramotor Ranch in California, I only
And that’s a wrap! Our time in Playa del Carmen has come to an end. It is a very bizzarre feeling, almost as wierd as when we packed up and left Australia over 2 years ago. Playa has become like home to us, and that,
Below is a video of the last two days of training, which also happen to be the second and third day, which means I only had 3 days of training! And now I am solely responsible for a little airplane thingy which straps to my
Despite the fact that we had traveled around 5000 miles to Valley Springs, California to learn how to fly a paramotor, and despite the fact that the area was experiencing a severe drought and hadn’t seen rain for quite some time, after our first day
As promised, here it is, video proof that I actually got in the air with nothing but a paramotor on my back, a wing above my head, and an extra layer of underpants! [vimeo 86800702 w=800 h=450] The training ended up being around 3 days
I am shortly going to be putting together a video of my time at the Blackhawk Ranch in Valley Springs, California, but until then I wanted to share with you the amazing thing which has just happened, my incredible foray into the heavens. Goin’ Up!
