DanielO Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi all, As the title states I'm a total beginner. Always been fascinated about being in the sky, went on a sky diving course a while back and did a few jumps. I loved the views, the peacefulness of gliding down once the canopy was open. But I wanted to experience it longer and following research I stumbled upon paramotoring. Now I read a couple of paramotor magazines then subscribed, checked gallery's of photos and vids on YouTube and I'm still eager to start this as my new hobby! I live just outside Manchester by the airport and have checked out all the courses throughout the country but really don't know which is best! Can anyone recommend a good total beginner course for me as well as the best beginner equipment!! Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan_k Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Daniel and SteveB, If you haven't found this thread viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3711 you are in for a treat. There are loads of PPG videos all in one place, enjoy. Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielO Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks for the link Alan. The videos are excellent! An additional bit of news from my side. For my birthday the wife has bought me a groupon voucher for a half day paramotoring experience with Manchester Parargliders, so this will wet my appetite and keep the paramotor flame burning until i save up for course and gear!
