Postcard from Marshall Islands

Posted on April 17, 2014 in Dean Eldridge   

If I wasn’t convinced before, I definitely am now, I live the most privileged life, especially one that an adventurous Paramotor pilot could wish for. Since the last scribble, not only have I been one of only a few to have ever ventured around the postcard perfect Seychelles Islands but even fewer have been to the exotic and mystical Myanmar with their flying gear and now my ventures have brought me once again to the incredibly remote Marshall Islands and to everyone’s knowledge here, I seem to be the only one who’s ever gone skywards in this independent island republic with a propeller on his back!

Once again I find myself in the eviable position of not only being able to escape the horrid British winter, but also being asked again to take my beloved paramotor to some exotic locations to film aerial footage for a Brazilian TV series called ‘Paradise Islands.’

From the cool northern fjordlands of Norway, the next destination on this epic paramotor/filming trip for ‘Aerials2’  was Austria, though we arrived in Vienna to find that Sylvestre’s Parajet Zenith’s had gone missing.

It’s been a crazy month!

Posted on September 02, 2013 in Dean Eldridge   

This last month has been the busiest and most varied I think I have ever had since choosing paramotoring as a career but every second has been epic and I wouldn’t ever wish to change a thing. A very warm welcome was received by the flying folks in Brazil although the weather was the chilliest on record and a bit of a shock after leaving a heatwave in the UK, usually it’s the other way around…

Good Result at Boston

Posted on April 22, 2013 in Dean Eldridge   

Having just returned from 2 months traveling abroad with my Parajet Zenith, I was in a favourable position going into the first round of the British League competition this weekend, having been able to keep my flying skills in shape with good weather whereas many pilots have been scuppered for training during the earlier months of the year with unfavourable flying conditions. Also, the first four tasks were precision based, my speciality, so I was able to make a good head start. My two Parajet Team mates Ric Womersley and Phil Jennings also got off to a good start where others were still shaking off the winter rust.

Around the World with the Zenith Top80

Posted on December 20, 2012 in Dean Eldridge   

At the end of the summer season this year I had the most fortunate opportunity of traveling around the world with my paramotoring equipment and a small documentary film crew. The brainchild of the project is Sylvestre Campe, a well respected film maker in his homeland Brazil (although his origins are from Germany/France.) Deciding that he really wanted to use the paramotor for aerial filming, we worked together to formulate an itinerary at extremely short notice and and also to incorporate some training for him too as he had never before piloted anything himself!
