Paramotoring, or Powered Paragliding, is an amazing sport โ€” the cheapest way to fly! The gear is also very compact and there's no licensing in the United States (although training is strongly recommended).

There's a nice brochure here with some of the more frequently asked questions. But also please feel free to ask below and I (or someone else) will try to answer! :)

Note: I realize this is a niche community, so feel free to ask even if this post is old!
