I was hoping the balloon would kinda slowly come back down and he would be OK.

Couldnt agree more!


I have a buddy here in havasu that does the paramotor stuff, he is always trying to get me to go up with him...


Dude, im not going to snuggle up and buckle in to another dude with a fan strapped to my ass hanging from a parachute.

I always have thought about how scary hang gliding for the first time must be

I'd do a paramotor 100 times over a hot air baloon! At least they glide and function like a parachute!

Is he foot launching or does he have a trike?

I went up with a buddy on a trike and I’m HOOKED!!! I am emailing back and forth with 2 companies specing out trike/motor/foil to see which makes more sense, but this will absolutely be my next big purchase for myself.

If he has a trike, you should give it a shot. No trike, I’m like you, no way. It’s worse than 2 dudes on jet ski.

No trike, it's a fire up the motor and run like he'll till your up in the air scenario
