Paragliding and Paramotor info:
We manage our paragliding online store with the motivation to educate people, either on the gear we sell or on paragliding and paramotor in general.
We did run our paragliding School in New York, Letsgoparagliding, for 10 years with good success, and a lot of our students becoming great pilots today.
We know by experience that our sports paragliding and paramotor are in constant evolution, so it’s important to have access to info, magazines, tip and tricks to follow all the new technologies and trends, techniques.

Great paragliding and paramotor equipment reviews. Good competition updates. Great pilots interviews. XCMAG is a fantastic paragliding and paramotor magazine always available on your phone and tablet.
Airspace Law Ultralights
The best video to learn about airspace.
If you want to become a paragliding or a paramotor pilot you need to master the understanding of Airspace. For example, because you can have a restricted airspace just next to your flying site. So there is a lot of book explaining the basic but I really think that this video is a fantastic tool to really understand all the detail about airspace in general. And in an attractive 3D demonstration.
(a must for all pilot)

About the Author
Jeff Goin has been flying since age 13, starting with gliders and now as a 737 Captain for a major airline. But when he discovered powered paragliding, everything changed as the sport became a burning passion.
He founded the U.S. Powered Paragliding Association in 2001
He also Wrote the script to their top-selling Risk & Reward video which was produced by Lite Touch Films.
The Powered Paragliding Bible was a result of concern over the lack of a truly comprehensive training manual.
