Paramotoring

Paramotoring has been around for some time. I first saw one in 1998 and I remember thinking what a noisy machine and who would want to do that! Since then, things have changed as technology has progressed. The machines are quieter and the modern reflex wings enable higher flying speeds as well as a higher degree of safety. It is possible to fly with both hands off the brakes; free to take photos; free to turn the engine off; free to thermal like a bird up to the clouds! I bought a machine back in 2007 and I can take off from the field next to my cottage and fly to the coast to buy an ice cream.
