Starting Powered Paragliding?

Training Reimbursement | Top 10 Tips | Brochures

Here is a quick overview of powered paragliding. Need an instructor? Here is a list of certified schools. Powered Paragliding or paramotoring is the simplest, most portable, affordable, and possibly the safest way to get into the air—but get un-biased advice to avoid disappointing and sometimes dangerous sales information.

Risk & Reward, The Essential DVD

It is the essential DVD for aspiring Powered Paragliding Pilots. If there's only one DVD you see about PPG, Risk & Reward with William Shatner should be it! Our sport is probably the safest form of powered recreational flying but there are risks. Thankfully, there are great ways to reduce those risks, too. Details | Reviews
