Description

Recorded 14 may 2020. Alex (27) and Marie (28), this delightful couple, are married for 4 years and very successful in the world of paramotoring... Multiple World champs in all disciplines. They own a paramotor school 1 hour south of Paris. The area is flat. Alex loves to free fly. They experimented and came up with a unique system whereby Marie flies the paramotor and aerotows Alex up. It looks much simpler than it is. We discuss the challenges in this. Cutaway systems and communications.
