About Pittsburgh Paragliding

With nothing but their legs, a launch pad, and a little wind, paragliders achieve mankind's ancient dream of flight without the help of motors or fancypants pilots. A dedicated revolutionary against the tyranny of gravity, paragliding instructor Jon Potter invites one and all to join him atop the hills of Pittsburgh for a flying lesson that can be tailored for students of any experience level. Potter gladly hurls himself from virtually any flyable hill in and around the city. Beginners start by taking wing from bunny hills, and more advanced gliders tackle the more challenging courses.

This experience was awesome! It takes a bit of strength to get under canopy, but once youre in the air its worth it! I recommend wearing comfortable pants and a long sleeve shirt to protect against rope burns and scratched up knees from any wipeouts.

You probably need more than one session to get in the air. Helps if you are a good runner.

Jon (the instructor) is a laid back trainer with lots of energy. Really good instructor and he makes the activity enjoyable. He goes above and beyond to teach you...as long as you have the energy to walk back up the hill. :)

John really knows what he is doing. He got all of us flying right from the beginning. We all got at least 40' in the air. Great time and we would like to do it again! Thanks John!
