Learn before you do...

Some people say education is overrated. Then you have those who think they can teach themselves better. I have to admit there are some things you can teach yourself but then there are things you shouldn't try to teach yourself for your own safety. Paramotoring is one of those things you should not try to teach yourself. There are so many details you can't learn by watching a youtube video to learn. I learned so much during my eight days at Skyfield Flightworks. There is so much more to learning paramotoring than knowing how to get off the ground and return to it. The knowledge I gained from the years of experience, numerous flights, and training of my instructors is something you can not get from watching a video. This wonderful way of experiencing the sky is amazing and so freeing. However, without the proper education, just like flying a plane, it can be dangerous. Without the education of how to handle things which can happen unexpectedly or happen because you think you know it all will leave you making the wrong choice in a very serious situation. Just as with people who represent themselves is a lawyer who has a client who is a fool. So don't be a fool and go to school!
