Student Ratings & Reviews
I was enthusiastic about the sport of Paramotoring, but unsure if I could learn it all in a compressed format like the typical bootcamp. I wanted to make progress while I saved up for training and equipment and the Enthusiast Program fit the bill. With the rental equipment and video feedback from the instructor, I achieved success in kiting. When the time came to train with a live instructor, I was less stressed and made it to my first flight in half the days most students did. I launched into the sky unafraid.
So as anyone should be before taking on a new hobby and throwing money at it, I've got to say this definitely time and money well spent. This course is extremely thorough and is presented in an engaging video format that makes learning the basics of this unique and Bada$$ sport fun and simple. The instructor has been flying for many years and really cares about his students' success. If you're wondering "Oh man idk if I have the money let alone the time and I'm not even sure if I'll actually be able to get in the air as soon as I want to" let me just say, I am on a tight budget and within six weeks of meeting the instructor I learned to kite the wing, crush the course material, and actually get in the air soaring hundreds of feet above the ground. If you think riding a motorcycle is freedom, wait until you get a load of paramotoring... This community is awesome. This course is awesome. Get ready to change your life.
