Jamie Lee Thrill Ride
Pick your feet up ladies and gents, lest you scrape them on the Alps. Our friend Jamie Lee unpacked his Rapido, found an incredible line to carve on his last day of the season, and thankfully grabbed this thrill ride point-of-view video to share with us all. Cheers from all the team!

New lightweight Spyder
Following on from the Sirocco – the first dedicated lightweight paramotor wing – we are proud to introduce the Spyder, a fully reflexed lightweight wing for powered flight based on the successful Roadster 2. Like the Sirocco, the Spyder combines the knowledge learnt from the development of our lightweight paraglider range along with our world championship winning paramotor range and features well proven lightweight materials and special construction techniques.
The Spyder retains the same levels of comfort, performance and stability of the Roadster2 with a top speed in excess of 65kph but due to its low weight – 1.5 kg lighter on average depending on size – it has noticeably better handling and improved inflation behaviour, especially in nil wind.
Suitable for a wide range of pilots from beginners to experienced, we believe the Spyder to be one of the easiest and safest paramotor wings available.
