Paragliding Unlimited: Fulfilling Dreams of Flight Since 2003
About Paragliding Unlimited: St. Louis & Midwest Powered Paragliding Since 2003
Our Story: Pioneering Midwest Aviation
Driven by a lifelong passion for aviation, founder Jiri embarked on his professional powered paragliding and paragliding training venture in 2003. While exploring flight territories across the United States, he noticed a rapidly growing interest in foot-launched flight but a lack of structured, professional training in the heartland. To fill that gap, he established Paragliding Unlimited, bringing world-class aviation directly to the St. Louis metro area.
Over the past two decades, Jiri has showcased his elite piloting skills at numerous national and international competitions, including the prestigious World Air Games (WAG) qualifier. Today, his core mission remains simple: to spread pure happiness through flight and cultivate a thriving, joyful community of Midwest paramotor pilots. Through active participation in community aviation events and spectacular flight demonstrations, Paragliding Unlimited continues to be the premier name for paragliding in Missouri and Illinois.
