Who is SkyTribe? Sky Tribe, originally a paragliding school now offers a form of flight that everyone can enjoy. Not only is it the cheapest alternative (around 2 l hours), but may be easily learned in a day or two. Unlike conventional paragliding there are no long walks up mountains, no more dropping out if the wind disappears and no more long drives to take off sites. Simply strap the engine on your back, pull up the canopy, squeeze the accelerator and up you go. Take-off is now possible from flat areas and elevated areas are no longer needed. This together with the fact that safer canopies may be used (see canopies), paramotoring now may be extremely safe. |
