World Fly Games Champion, Yes please!

Posted on September 17, 2012 in Dean Eldridge   

Well it was a long way to go from the east coast of Spain to northern Quebec for a weekend competition but thankfully it all paid off splendidly. It started with an 8 hour drive from the Costa Brava in Spain with very little time to pack everything after a busy but very enjoyable week teaching Brazilian film producer Sylvestre Campe to fly.

Slalom comp in Canada

Posted on September 14, 2012 in Dean Eldridge   

It’s been a fairly interesting start to the trip out here to Mont Joli in Quebec for the Fly Games World slalom competition. It all started at Montreal airport where we had to pick up our bags and clear customs before the short flight out to Mont Joli. Unfortunately I discovered that the fuel tank of my Parajet Zenith had been confiscated during transit in Frankfurt so an alternative had to be found. Thankfully there are some wonderfully helpful Parajet/Paramania pilots out here in Canada that have helped me ‘retro’ fit a tank from a different machine with cable ties, straps and pop-rivets!

Paramania wing testing with the Zenith

Posted on August 20, 2012 in Dean Eldridge   

After a very successful Paramania testing session in the south of France with the new GTR22 wing, I hopped over the Pyrenees to continue testing at altitude with my great friends the Guerra family (Paco Sr. Paco Jr. and Javi.) All were very impressed with the new Zenith 200 which they hadn’t seen in the flesh before.

Posted on August 06, 2012 in Dean Eldridge   

Well, after missing out on the podium at the last Slalomania event by just 2 points after a silly mistake at the end, my focus for the latest round was consistency throughout and this certainly paid off with me gaining the 3rd spot this time!

Festival of 1000 bikes

Posted on July 11, 2012 in Dean Eldridge   

Well it seems like the UK ‘monsoon’ continues through into July but that hasn’t stopped us attending events and jumping on any available opportunity for flying activities, sometimes needing to be up at some un-Godly hour of the morning or waiting for that calm little session to be available half an hour before a very late sunset.

British PPG Comp 2012

Posted on June 11, 2012 in Dean Eldridge   

Having just built a fresh Parajet Zenith 200 just a few days before and without having any time to test with it due to our inclement British weather, I arrived at the 2012 British Paramotor Competition with a little bit of trepidation.

A break in the weather

Posted on May 15, 2012 in Dean Eldridge   

Despite the recent chilly, wet and windy weather, we’ve still managed to find mornings or afternoons favourable for conducting ground training and getting people in the air safely. Saturday morning we had Charlie Boorman down for his second training session and is now ready to take to the skies on his next trip down to see us. Phil Jennings also arrived on Saturday and brought some great weather with him so, with some local pilots and some of the Parajet crew we had around 10 Parajet pilots together zooming around the Dorset countryside in the evening before all heading to the pub!
