5 Things I Learnt At My First Paramotor Competition

Back in August I attended the 2020 British Open Paramotor Championship. I’ll be honest, I was put off the fact of entering into a competition because I thought it would be really high level pilots, I wouldn’t stand a chance and it would be a total write off for me. However, that was far from the truth and I had an amazing weekend. I put that down to the fact the club pilot class was introduced in 2020 which was aimed at lower airtime pilots looking to further their skills and challenge themselves in a friendly non pressured environment. So, here’s the top 5 things I learnt attending my first paramotor competition in the club pilot class.
