| Title: Paul`s second flight |
| Comments: Paul was solo flying his Walkerjet paramotor on the very first day of training. He worked hard all day and listened carefully to any advice we gave him. He was fearless and comitted with a lot of natural ability...a good combination....(more) |

| Title: Frank`s downwind landing! |
| Comments: Well, here is proof that Frank wasn`t always the ace paraglider pilot that he is today! I guess we all start somewhere. Most of us have done this at some time. C`mon admit it...I know I have!

| Title: Air Show |
| Comments: This was a great success for us, and very enjoyable too. Lots of interest was shown by a very wide spectrum of people. I think it was the first time Andre launched a powered paraglider to a round of applause.

| Title: Tandem trike fun |
| Comments: Well the tandem trike is a very different experience to foot launch powered paragliding. Andre is now offering 30 minute flights to those under 185 pounds! Any bigger than that and the climb rate is very marginal....(more) |

| Title: Powered Paraglider foot drag |
| Comments: Andre dragging his feet...again. This is best saved until the end of the day when the condtions are far smoother and you are less likely to get caught out by any turbulent air. Just play with the combination of brakes and throttle to maintain altitude. Wet grass is best for foot dragging because you...(more) |

| Title: Trike Training |
| Comments: This thing could get some serious speed up if you had a nice smooth surface.
Barney didn't seem to mind the bumps and had the machine going much faster than we had dared to..
Barney gets used to the trike with a few high speed passes!...(more) |

| Title: Fixing the Axle |
| Comments: This is just field repair so that we could carry on flying....honest!
Well this is us 'fixing' the axle. This is not the original trike axle that comes with the buggy, but a longer version that Andre had made. The buggy should have been delivered with a longer axle....(more) |

| Title: Chris suffers a 100% collapse |
| Comments: Why are we making this video available? Because we believe it is important to remember the risks involved in the powered paragliding (paramotoring). It is always far too easy to become complacent about flying. Videos like these serve to shake off the complacency! Flying low in thermic conditions is ...(more) |

| Title: Trike Training |
| Comments: Lauching the trike is easy, once you know how.
It is important for the wing to be directly above you before applying full power. If it is not, you will swing about after take off.
Andre demonstrates a nice smooth take off

| Title: Trike fun |
| Comments: Mounting the paramotor on a trike means you can have more than your regular flying fun. You could get some serious speed up if you had a nice smooth surface.

| Title: Highlights from 2004 flying season, including the fly in. |
| Comments: Well this little paramotoring video shows some of the fun we had last year. If you think this looks like fun...IT IS! I still can`t believe Mete got back from the Casino at 4:30 in the morning and then got up a couple of hours later...Did I ever mention Mete used to be a make up artist? With snow pi...(more) |

| Title: What happens when you attach a paraglider to kite lines? |
| Comments: Hooking a paraglider to kite lines can be dangerous, apparently, so don`t do it (unless you really want to!). Personally I think flying a paraglider as a kite is only dangerous if you

| Title: Paul`s first flight |
| Comments: Paul was focussed, determined and made that RR look like it weighed nothing. He was at it all day. Few manage to fly on day one, but Paul was one of those students that pulled it all together on day one. After ground school in the morning and a whole afternoon of kiting Paul succeeded in getting air...(more) |

| Title: Some footage of me shot by powered paraglider (and part time comedian) Andre Zeman |
| Comments: I think Andre was joking? You were joking right Andre? It`s difficult to make sense of that crazy accent especially with all that beard rubbing! Nice camera work though... I`ll give you that. Nice smooth air on a Sunday evening
