Super Trevor hangs out with Clint and Anthony to share a juicy story on coming up in the sport with Super Dell Schanze! He says, "you were either with him or against him," and that now he is a sworn enemy. Drama aside, Trevor has grown into a very talented pilot who is building a school of his own that takes the good and avoids the bad attributes that he learned from Super Training. IN OTHER NEWS: Thank you for your patience in getting this episode out to all of you. Our dearly loved friend, Lee Boone, passed away in a tragic flying accident at the start of this month. Yesterday, we laid him to rest. There never was or will be a better role model to our local flying community. Not just in paramotoring; He was a beautiful sole with an intense devotion to God. We love you, Lee. Become a supporter of The Paramotor Podcast! CLICK HERE Links from this episode: Trevor's YouTube Channel Backcountry PPG

Between monthly subscriptions, podcast equipment, and hours arranging, recording, and editing, It’s very costly to keep the show on the air. Several businesses within the paramotor community have offered to pay my expenses for the show in exchange for promoting their product or services, but that doesn’t sit right with me when a large portion of the listeners have never flown before. Products and services should be promoted based on their merit because that’s what’s in the best interest of our listeners. Please CLICK HERE to become a Patron of The Paramotor Podcast!
