Electric paramotors are unquestionably bad ass! I consider myself very fortunate to have recorded this episode with Paul Whitehead, the owner and founder of OpenPPG. The number one electric Paramotor industry is the SP140. Truth be told, I've spent a lot of time considering getting one of them, but I figured I would reach out to Paul to get a deep dive on the pros and cons of his creation. One of the great things about Paul is that...

Super Trevor hangs out with Clint and Anthony to share a juicy story on coming up in the sport with Super Dell Schanze! He says, "you were either with him or against him," and that now he is a sworn enemy. Drama aside, Trevor has grown into a very talented pilot who is building a school of his own that takes the good and avoids the bad attributes that he learned from Super Training.

Nope! This isn't a paramotor, but it's similar. Giles Fowler has stepped off from powered paragliders and into the world of flying powered delta wings (think hang gliders)! "They're not better, just different." Admittedly, I would love to try out one of these flying contraptions. How about you?

Travis Burns is top instructor in paramotoring. He also loves Tom Cruise...yeah. I love this episode of The Paramotor Podcast. He's also the US importer for Fly Products, who we've had on the show before, and breaks down the lineup of trikes and footlaunch units that they offer. Most importantly, he dives into the philosophy of teaching people how to fly; It's incredible!
