The very talented young paramotor instructor from England walks me through how to perform a SAT (spiraling backwards) but encourages people to seek proper training at an SIV clinic! Through trial and error, Oscar has learned a lot.

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!

Ryan Roberts joins us to share how he's been filling the demand with the products he and his business partners have been designing at PPG Smoke.
