Guest Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 All, I wanted to say a huge thanks to everyone of you This site has become an amazing source of information about Paramotoring, which is how I always dreamed it would become. Often I find myself googling something and getting pointed to the answer here on this very site lol. This is of course thank's to you all for adding the content and keeping it up to date and not full of BS. You have all helped to create an awesome little site which I am sure will continue to help and inspire others for many moons Thanks in particular to the people who have taken the time out to create training blogs. I hear very often from people who have been inspired by your blogs and taken the leap in to becoming a Paramotor Pilot via whatever school. I have seen people be inspired by the early blogs such as Dan the Man, then get training, then write a blog and then inspire someone else!!!! That's just brilliant! Pat Pux, you have inspired 3 people so far with your blog! ( that I know of ) The first ever training blog award (which is a packet of Prawn Wakers) goes to Slim. (Stuart Morris) Also a particular thanks to the 'geeks' We have radio geeks, mechanical geeks, wing geeks, nav geeks, and so on ( you get the point ) those of you that you happy to share your knowledge to help people who don't yet posses it... you are all awesome! And of course, thanks to my close crew the two Colons and PeteB Seriously... Thanks to all of you! :-) Life is short, and I don't say thank you enough!

alan_k Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks to you also Simon It's such an invigorating sport on many levels that you almost automatically want others to share it. ...... the two Colons Hmmm.....you must be wired differently. I am missing a bit of mine, can I have some of yours Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 My iPhone corrects Colin to Colon. Who I am to question it? So now I run with it. They are the two Colons. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW My first time was with one of said Colons! He checked my equipment, primed me, got me up and brought me back to earth safely... with his unforgettably firm but reassuring voice guiding my every step of the way!

Steve Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 It's a great resource for paramotorists new and old, thanks Si. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_d. Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Phew! I thought Simons post was leading to something awful, like halfway through he was gonna say "But because of....." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatPux Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 It's a great resource for paramotorists new and old, thanks Si. Ditto, Most of the experts manage to contain themselves and give constructive advice even in the face of the numptiest of questions from us beginners. And navigating a difficult course through the occasional personal brick bats whilst performing Moderator duties is masterfully done! Long may it last- thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1buell_wl Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Simon, give yourself a pat on the back too! It takes a hell of allot of work/time to maintain a site and monitor it 7/24 just to offer this wealth of knowledge to others. You even allow the riff-raff to hang around and pitch in (myself included). good on you! "Life is short, and I don't say thank you enough" No one does these days! cheers T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoobySnacks Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I've only met Simon once, but his enthusiasm and infectious passion for the sport has me sold. I hope that I might be able to make a positive contribution to the site too. I'm hoping to start training soon, so will definitely be "blogging" about it. It might help somebody else, it will certainly help me sitting down and thinking through the days lessons to sort it in my head and hopefully cementing it!
