Paramotor Trike Training

This is the time of year everyone makes their "Best Of 2020" videos. I just can't justify that with so many having such a bad year. Instead I'm going to look forward to a more positive 2021!
Since I started my journey into this amazing sport I have been consumed with the Love of flight. I eat sleep and breathe paramotor and it consumes my life in a positive way. During this time I have had the honor of studying under some of the best instructors in the sport. Thanks to the guys at Wisconsin Flight Sports, Flimippg, and One Up Adventures I soon realized that I also love to share the sport with others. Spending time with guys like this and the many interactions by phone, messenger, Youtube, and in person have concreted the desire to be a paramotor instructor. I started out just helping out some guys that had "FREE" training elsewhere but were'nt comfortable to fly. That soon evolved into complete training with the help of Gorilla Ground and Paul Abachoun as my ground school instructors. I am currently an ASC Basic Flight Instructor with a tandem exemption. I will continue my USPPA instructor training as an apprentice/guest trainer with the 3 schools mentioned over the winter and spring of this year.
Florida Flight Sports will cater to wheel launch pilots but I have and will continue to train foot launch pilots as well. Why not fly both if you are able? The skills cross over easily and I can cross train you to do both. Sit back and use your wheels on nil wind mornings then foot launch the beach in the afternoon!
I am the Southeast Dealer for Skymax and Retracta Trikes as well as Power2fly.

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS AND MAKE 2021 YOUR YEAR, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Happy New Year am very happy for you, I know you are an awesome teacher and you will have many students that are interested in the sport and don't know how or where to get trained, specifically for trikes that its a different ball game and just as rewarding as foot mount. God Bless you all .

I am proud to see you evolve Gorilla ! As a helicopter CFI i see a lot of things. In my area (Lancaster - Philly) I see more and more paragliders and trikes flying around. Always interested me.
I’ll be into parachutes soon.
I’m retiring in the fort Meyers / Venice area.
I’ll be in your hood one day soon.

Great video. The quality is great. Happy new year and I am hoping 2021 is “my” year.🤷‍♂️

I'm proud of you Rick I've watched you come a long ways, wish I could have grown with you but it just wasn't in the cards. Hoping 2021 will be a banner year for all of us. Love your videos. Wish you the best of luck. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Gorilla I have a air conception tornado 280. I have put a 2 inch spacer on the prop. I'm not sure if hang test before the spacer was correct or not. I'm getting a lot of rocking horse action no matter how smooth I am on the throttle. Is this normal? Winds 5 mph. Something just doesn't seem right. Hard to enjoy a flight with thoughts like this floating around in my head.

[kevincollins]

This is really col to see you grow in the sport and more importantly giving back so others can get into it. Keep up the great work Gorilla and thank you and Gorilla Ground!

It's gonna be a big year for PPG Gorilla and Florida Flight Sports!!!

That orange beast behind you looks like it has controls attached to the nose wheel steering.

I hope your new business does great. Your prices are low for training. Now is the time to to sign up for Ricks training before the prices go up.

I would love to learn if they didn’t cost so much.
