What is Paramotoring?
Who hasn't dreamed of being able to fly? No I'm not talking about planes or helicopters, although those remain some man's greatest accomplishments. No, I'm talking about feeling the freedom, the adrenaline rush and the breeze slapping the sh*t your face. And of a selfie or 2 after for flexing on your friends.

Well, Paramotoring lets you do just that! Paramotoring aka Powered Paragliding(PPG) is a kind of ultralight aviation in which the pilot wears a motor on his back to help him gain momentum faster and more easily.
I had seen it in action on TV and youtube a couple of times but had never really been intrigued by it. But now that it is being offered in my country it's a different story.
It looks really fun and scary, very scary! Would I have the courage to go through with it or would I back out like when I had once drunkenly agreed to go bungee jumping? Who knows, only 1 way to find out though, or not. But first things first I would have to find some like minded fools to take on the challenge.
The activities will start in 6 months and for safety measures, 5-8 training days will be required before being allowed to fly one. As of now they're only putting them in touristic venues but hopefully, soon they will also be coming to cities and even better, private businessmen will want to compete and we get cheaper prices. And even if not, this looks like one of those activities definitely worth saving up for.
That's all for today fellow steemians! Have you ever partook in PPG or a similar sport? If so how was your experience? Feel free to share specially if it was an embarrassing one. lol And in psychology today, do you think Paramotoring just once again proves people's obsession with needing to dominate everything? I sure do.
