A couple of friends and I picked up a new hobby. One has flown about 18 times and the other has flown 4 times. My first flight was yesterday afternoon. It is a blast.

Looks pretty awesome. I dont know about just strapping a motor to your back though.

 

damn. thats crazy!

 

looks nuts, yet fun

 

SWEET!!! So what kinda training or classes did you have to go through?

 

There are a few guys that offer training, but we just watched videos and did a good bit of reading on paramotoring.

 

Looks like ya'll were having fun...not something I would want to do. I like the in flight videos!

 

I would LOVE to do that!!! The reason I got into SCUBA was because I couldn't afford skydiving. Flight is amazing and is on my list of things I have to do in my life!

 

That looks awesome! I would love to try that.

 

Its not that expensive. After the initial cost of the equipment, you only need to buy gas for the motor and the gas for where you want to go and fly.

Curt, we went over to Guntersville last sun. Jerry went back over there to fly again today. Next time we head over we will give you a heads up if you want to come and hang out with us.
