Tom took me on and as part of a small but supportive group we spent a very entertaining week training with Sky Riders from one of their location on the Somerset Levels.
Tom makes learning fun. Always with safety at the forefront but education close behind everyone learnt at their own pace. By the end of the week two of us (both experienced paraglides) got our Club Pilot signed off and, as importantly, we got introduced to the Sky Riders community.
Tom has built a fabulously supportIve group of like minded flyers who are really pleased to share their experience, good and bad, with each other. Tips on kit to buy, places to fly and pubs to retire to are readily available.
Tom and the Sky Riders group really are a five star experience. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I received some great instruction and guidance, delivered gently and thoughtfully, with excellent attention to those subtle details which help to improve and grow pilot skills. The training environment felt friendly, supportive, and encouraging without compromising instructional technique. Tom was clear on training objectives, next steps, and the flying/training plan for the coming days.
I thoroughly enjoyed flying with Sky Riders and will be back to fly some more.
The equipment is 1st class and you feel your in safe hands with his school
Calm ,patient and exacting, he created an excellent learning environment and helped build strong foundations of knowledge and skill that have kept me safe in the air .
They have a vast intricate knowledge base of airports in the company which shows after a short chat.
I go to wing trim for my servicing and repairs ,very quick and accomodating of last minute poor planning ! (Sorry).
Sky riders are now my local kit shop in bath and west,heading down there to try a couple of harnesses when I'm back . Prices are very good but I'm hoping this glowing review will assist in the negotiating process 🤣
