Paul - Retired from full time 15 yr instructor 1 year ago and a Sun 'n Fun announcer, which is the 2nd largest airshow in the world.Robert - Born as Robert Jedrzejczak, in Milwaukee Wisconsin, lived in the surrounding states until my parents split up when I was 8. At 10, I moved to California to live with my dad, where I learned to surf in Santa Maria California. I used to jump off the dunes near Pismo beach and didn't even know what parkour was. White water rafting and cliff jumping soon followed. Throughout my adventures I ended up in Florida where I was only able to surf during hurricanes because the gulf side has little waves. I made primetime news twice on SNN for surfing Hurricane Charlie and then Katrina. But I wanted more! So I started skydiving in Homestead FL at Skydive Miami. While attending the school, I kept seeing people flying paragliders near the dropzone. They were flying every day and in skydiving, if the plane ain't full of jumpers, it ain't flying. Then, one day on my way to work I saw a guy selling 2 paragliders on the side of the road. I introduced myself and he introduced me to Paul Czarnecki at PlanetPpg. I started flying paragliders in 2010 and haven't been back to my other adventures. I love flying! I have participated in Sun N Fun airshow! I have shared my love of the sport with others to carry on. I will live every day till the day I die!

Meet Ryan...My powered paragliding journey began many years ago, like most everyoneās does, with obsessing over YouTube videos of people flying. I wanted to find a way to get into aviation but didnāt want to shell out the kind of money it takes to learn to fly and own a fixed-wing plane. A pilot friend of mine told me about PPG and I couldnāt get enough. I finally decided that I wasnāt going to waste any more time ā so I contacted Mojoās Flight School in Charlotte, NC and started classes. About 5 years later, I became one of the owners. Today, weāre 11 years old and have 3 sites across the Carolinas. I have my PPG1, PPG2, PPG3, WLPPG1, WLPPG2, WLPPG3 ratings and obtained my Foot Launch instructor, Wheel Launch instructor, and tandem instructor ratings from Noah Rasheta. Since the first day my feet left the ground, this is all I want to do. I love to fly because it is just me and the air with no distractions and no problems. The sky is where I go to decompress, to escape the day-to-day grind, and to have an absolute blast. When Iām not flying, or talking about flying, Iām thinking about flying, scouting for new places to fly, and checking the weather for the next flyable day.Iām passionate about this sport and helping others to experience that absolute euphoria that comes with flying a powered paraglider. I have worked to build on our legacy of integrity, safety, and community. It is important to me that all the students that train with Mojoās leave with light, high-quality gear and learn to be great pilots that are safe and care about the integrity of our sport. Outside of Paramotoring, I like to spend time on Lake Norman on my boat, get out in nature with my Rhodesian Ridgeback named Walt, explore the local brewery scene, and travel.

I was born and raised in Brazil, moved to France when I was 14, and finally moved to LA when I was 24. Ever since I was a kid, I had a passion for dance and was self-taught. In France, I taught dance and performed in shows all over the country. When I came to America, I eventually signed on for a world tour with a US dance company where I was able to travel to over 54 countries dancing and teaching workshops for almost 6 years.A few years ago, I was on YouTube and came across a few videos about a guy flying to McDonaldās on his paramotor! I thought it was so cool and wanted to learn more. I watched countless paramotor videos and joined a forum but initially, I couldnāt afford the gear, so I waited few years and finally decided to go for it. I bought used gear on Craigslist and watched every video I could get my hands on. It took me forever to learn because nobody wanted to help and be liable if I was to get hurt so I had to self-train. Eventually, I kept pushing and became more and more passionate about the sport and with practice and luck took my first solo flight. From that first flight, I became addicted to flying. I had already been certified for skydiving, but this was a totally different experience. Soon when I wasnāt teaching dance, I was using my spare time to fly. Eventually, after more flying and training I was able to connect with paramotor brands that reached out to have me join their team. On the side, I also had friends that became interested in flying so I would informally teach them and help them get started in the sport. As I kept sharing my newfound passion with people on YouTube, I decided to make the jump and get my certification in order to officially open my paramotor school!My background is in dance and when I moved to LA, it was tough starting as a dancer from scratch. For months I was in a cycle where I performed in street shows on 3rd Street Promenade in order to pay for my hostel stay, then I became homeless, and then would find gigs again. Eventually, I signed on for a world tour with a US dance company where I was able to travel to over 54 countries dancing and teaching workshops for almost 6 years but for those initial years it was a real struggle to find steady work.Back when I was dancing BAD was an acronym for Born A Dancer, but once I started flying, I realized that the best part in life was to be Beyond Any Definitions, meaning you donāt have to stay stuck in whatever box you might have spent your entire life (for me it was a dancer) living; you can always become whatever makes you truly happy! STAYBAD, meaning to Stay Beyond Any Definitions, is to live life without limits and to push oneself to greater heights. One of my main pursuits is flying and teaching others to fly. It is extremely gratifying.As the instructor, my approach to teaching students differs from others in that I go at the studentās pace and work individually with each student. I am also a dealer for all the gear a student could need so I help walk them through that process and find whatās best for their flying journey. All my students become close friends and we have our own flying community where we meet up regularly to fly. It is a great forum to meet like-minded people and share the love of flight and I am always helping them along their journey.I teach everyday people how to fly into the sky! Paramotoring combines a paraglider with a motor that is used for flying. It is extremely gratifying to share the freedom and beauty of being outdoors in this unique way whether itās flying over sand dunes, the ocean, poppy fields, itās truly like nothing else. I have been a pilot now for six years and am a USPPA certified instructor as well as being certified in tandem flights. My flying school, Staybad Paramotor, is unique in that itās the only training school in the US to offer one on one classes until my studentās first solo flight. I also offer unlimited training, meaning thereās no minimum or cap on the classes and we are the ONLY paramotor school in L.A County with flying sites all over southern California. Typically, people can learn to fly paramotor within a week or if youāre looking for a fun activity to do with friends/family, I offer scenic tandem flights along the coast where you can see what itās all about and start training. When I am not flying, dancing, or teaching, you can find me creating videos that combine my love of flying with original content sharing of my adventures.Pricing:Full unlimited Training $3000Tandem Flight $250 (40min)Mention Voyage LA article and received 15% offContact Info:Website: www.staybadparamotor.comInstagram: @staybadparamotor and @DanielostaybadFacebook: / 581128196326453 Youtube: / @staybad

Meet Melinda Bliss! She was bit by the aviation bug back in 2020, and immediately fell in love with powered parachutes. She did the bulk of her training in Dunnellon Florida, starting with sport pilot, then proceeded to New Hampshire to work on her private pilot certificate. However, she wasn't ready to stop there!! She pressed on to become a CFI, and in a short 10 months, she accomplished her goal!! Since then she has been training students to be powered parachute land pilots at various locations along the east coast. My goal is to spread the word about this sport that she loves so very much, and to encourage other girls, that they can DO IT TOO ā¤ļø

Streamed live on Feb 21, 2024Bring your questions, and ideas, to give give to the designer of this cool APP that lots of of use, and he will be happy to listen and write down our ideas for any improvements to Gaggle!Hennie is a tech enthusiast and software developer with a 12 year career in designing and creating software solutions for companies around the world. In 2020, his journey took him to the skies when he discovered paramotoring. Realizing the lack of modern apps for pilots, he created Gaggle, an app designed to enhance the flying experience for every pilot. Gaggle, now a staple in the paramotor community, boasts over 4,000 pilots that record more than 20,000 flights each month. It's packed with features to keep pilots safe, informed, and foster connections among them, including an in-flight computer, alerts about nearby aircraft, and the ability to share live-locations. Hennie's vision for Gaggle goes beyond simply tracking flights; he's committed to making it the go-to app for pilots seeking community, progressing their craft, and finding more opportunities to fly. This year, Gaggle has plans to introduce more community-driven features while refining existing functionality. Hennie is also busy working on his next product, a solution aimed towards the motorbike loving adventurers out there.

Streamed live on Oct 18, 2023 šŖJust Wanna Fly šŖMeet Michelle Burns -I'm Michelle! I knew about Paramotor for a few years prior to training, but never had any interest in learning until a random birthday balloon gave me an opportunity to do a tandem foot launch and that flight sealed the deal! I trained in April of 2022 and it's been the best thing I've ever done! Paramotor has stolen my heart. The freedom and adventures we pilots get to experience is something I will never be able to put into words. I love the community and people I've met through Paramotor. It's a continuous adventure of a lifetime! Here's to many more flights, adventures and smiles!

Meet Jonathan -I was Born and raised and live in Flagstaff AZ. Growing up, my dad would always say that our family motto was āWork hard and play harder.ā Iāve tried my best to do that. Me and my wife have six kids (all boys), and a garage full of toys that reflect my long history of playing with things that have a throttle or that float or that fly. I took an into paragliding flight in 1996 off of Haleakala in Maui and still remember that sense of wonder as the ground dropped away.I learned to windsurf when I was a teenager, and then learned to kiteboard in my 20ās then started playing with hydrofoils in my 30ās.As a kid I was constantly ādesigningā sail boats and catamarans and hydrofoil catamarans and wanted to be an airline pilot or an aeronautical engineer when I grew up. I didnāt become either of those things, but the curiosity remained.In 2020, a friend of mine sent me a video of Tucker Gott flying around Sedona & Meteor Crater, which are near Flagstaff, and it was like a switch flipped in my head. I knew I had to learn to fly Paramotors. I signed up for training with Epic Paramotor and trained in Eagle Mountain Ut with Noah Rasheta in May of 2021. I have around 170 hours of PPG flight time in. As a result of how much I love flying PPG, I decided I wanted to learn how to fly airplanes & bush planes, so I began training for my Private Pilot Certificate in September of 2023. I have 8 General Aviation training flights and 15 landings under my belt so far.My favorite things about flying PPG are the ability to explore new, often shockingly beautiful areas, the sense of freedom combined with the requirement for self-sufficiency, and the many incredible people Iāve met thru this sport.Want to create live streams like this?

Meet Jon-Alan - I have loved all things aviation as long as I can remember I grew up on a ranch in rural Idaho and was involved in rodeo and mule shows at an early age. As a teen I loved to fly and had family friends that owned bush planes that I would climb into every opportunity me and my dad bought a hang glider trike about 16 years ago and then I was introduced to paramotor 10 years ago when I moved to Maricopa Arizona and found Airparamo right down the road from my house. I took one flight and was instantly hooked it took me a couple years to get enough money for one and I began my paramotor journey in 2015 working with Mo there as an assistant instructor for a couple years and then ventured out on my own starting Windpirate PPG . My dad had a saddle shop and custom leather shop so I was already very familiar with commercial sewing and failing to find any high quality covers on the market at the time for my paramotor I decided to make one and immediately had interest from others in my flight group for orders so I began making and selling custom paramotor covers, kiting harnesses and a few other items. I began training and providing paramotor equipment full time in 2017. traveling to the Northwest in the summer and training in Arizona in the winterLast year I purchased 40 acres near tombstone Arizona to put in a full service paramotor flight Park with a grass field . I am currently An Instructor admin with the USPPA and do instructor clinics as well as regular classes

Meet SKY HIKER MIKE -I grew up in Minnesota in the Plymouth Minnetonka area, ended up in Brainerd for High school. College brought me to Colorado and I could never go back. I studied aerospace engineering, astrophysics and planetary sciences. After college, I worked for a couple different companies, settling in at an energy research company. But I didnāt really like the work. I had always been wanting to learn to fly, but was always deterred by the costs. I would go to the local airport, talk about lessons, then I would tally up the cost and just couldnāt justify it. Then find myself there a couple years later remembering I had already done thisā¦ eventually I stumbled upon paramotoring. And just like everyone, started with āthatās crazyā, then doing more and more research and more video bingeing, understanding more of the risks, I just had to do it. Got training. On my first flight attempt I face planted, went home to think it out. Next day I started flying and nailed out several flights. Since then it has just been and epic adventure after epic adventure. Ive also always loved teaching, mostly math and sciences, but itās has been extremely rewarding combining the two passions to open Sky Hikers.
