With a lot more paragliding clubs recognising that not everyone has a mountain on their doorstep, many have turned to teaching paramotoring. Although strictly speaking there are no true regulations today for paramotoring, paragliding clubs are taking it upon themselves to ensure that people can understand the behaviour of a canopy before they take to the air, and then understanding how to live without a motor (such as in the event of an engine failure or lack of fuel).

Many classes today seem in my humble opinion very expensive without clear justification of value received. Perhaps the cost is simply to detract people from learning, or to cover the inconvenience of a paragliding club teaching paramotoring, I have yet to understand, but I hope that more places will offer training, and we will see a more competitive 'certification' programme, leading to trained 'pilots' taking to the air safely, and with a passion for aviation.

So what is the site all about?

Well, I want to get into paramotoring. People tend to do it for a while, then give up, or store away the equipment for a not so rainy day.

I would like this site to grow to become a great source of information on paramotors, paramotoring events and  much more. (Its a hobby site, and not a large corporation!)

So why paramotorshop?

Its an easy name to remember. and I wanted people and clubs to post details of equipment for sale, exchange, or wanted, and use this site for doing so. We hope to gain revenue from google ads to pay towards hosting and admin costs

The site also contains a calendar to ensure people know what is goinig on and when, and  with articles from various contributors to ensure that people knew all elements of safety, can read equipment reviews, and see how regulations are changing.

By getting all Paramotor and paragliding clubs to register their details free, we can keep track of who is who, keep the sport competitive in pricing (as some people are charging what appears to be a premium without viisible rationale as to the reason), allowing others to join in and try this amazing experience.

If you are interested, register on the website, and we shall keep you posted with a newsletter (no fixed frequency yet) on how the site is developing, and any interesting new articles...
