  • In the summer of 2014, four friends met up with foreign pilots to go on the ultimate paramotor adventure - to tour the American Southwest. Only weeks after the trip, Jeff Toll was tragically killed flying at his home flying field in Chesapeake, VA.
    Nine months later, remaining members of Team Fly Halo revisited the southwest to honor and commemorate their fallen friend; and to share his story with the world.
    The Toll Road is a non-profit and completely independent film, the soul purpose of the production is to honor Jeff Toll's memory and share his love for the sport.

    Thank you to the guys and Ryan for putting this together. For some reason today made me want to watch this video. I had not watched it since the unveiling in our home town. At the time I knew it was a beautiful adventure, but I was unable to watch it without eyes full of tears, fixating on his voice and the emptiness my heart has. This time around there were still tears and mixed emotions of joy and sadness, however I was able to see the beauty of it in its entirety. This video makes missing my best friend a little easier knowing the impact he had on so many. I'm so glad you all finished the trip, I know he would have wanted you to. Things have definitely changed for us all but I know he will always tie us together. Love you all.
