Another Podium Finish

Posted on May 19, 2014 in Phil Jennings   

So summer is nearly here and it has kicked off in style in the UK with the start of the competition season. Early April saw us holding the first leg of the British Championship at the fantastic Hull Aero Club, as usual the British weather forecast was marginal so many pilots avoided the long drive north thinking it would be wasted. This was a mistake for them as we managed to set several good tasks and get an official league result. Myself and Mark Morgan shared joint first with Barney Townsend in third place.

World Paramotor Slalom Competition

Posted on September 17, 2013 in Phil Jennings   

So as usual it’s the day after another epic trip, this time to the small airfield in Aspres-sur-Bu毛ch in the French Alps where the first World Paramotor Slalom Competition was being held. As competitions go its a very simple format. You launch and fly a pre determined route around several inflated pylons. Your time is measured using infrared gates and scores are instant. Of course flying full speed 2 meters from the ground whist doing high wingovers turns is great fun it requires lots of training and nerves of steel!

Flying in France

Posted on August 19, 2013 in Phil Jennings   

So as promised in my last blog here is the latest on my trip to France. I have known Pascal Valle猫 from 2009 when we met at my first British Open and have competed against him many a time since. For those unaware of him he is one of the top pilots in France and recently became World champion in 2012. When he is not competing he runs a very successful school in Angoul锚me and also runs various Master classes across the country.
