Designer and Developer of Hybrid ParaTrikes, adrenaline junkie Mark Denny, was introduced to the aviation world in December 1987 when, after multiple injuries in motocross racing, he decided that repeatedly hitting the ground was not fun anymore, so he set his eyes on skydiving. He sold his motocross gear, bought skydiving gear and Mark's passion for flight took off. On his eleventh student jump he was introduced to Canopy Relative Work (CRW) and found passion in this area of skydiving. He received his Pro ratings and Jump Master ratings in 1989 and continued working with world class individuals honing his canopy handling skills. After mastering his skills as a skydiver, in 1993, he was introduced to the ultralight industry where he assembled and taught himself to fly a Pterodactyl. What a pleasure it was for him to have the opportunity to fly this aircraft and feels today that it was the simplest form of fixed wing flight. Soon afterwards Mark purchased a Weedhopper, a Quicksilver and a tandem seat Explorer that he mounted on floats. These purchases escalated into the purchasing of many more fixed wing ultralights. In 2001 he purchased a DK Whisper Paramotor and signed up for lessons at the Fly By Ranch with Eric Dufour. Mark became an instructor in 2003 in the Powered ParaFoil industry. Now with over 3000 flying hours and 2200 skydives, his experience and knowledge coming from building, flying, buying and selling over 500 types of ultralight aircraft provides him the fundamentals to take the best aspects of all these aircraft and develop them into one....... “The Hybrid ParaTrike” Mark Denny founded AirSportsUSA in 2001. He specializes in buying and selling all types of aircraft and training students to fly Powered Parachutes(PPC), Paramotors(PPG) and ParaTrikes. Over the years, his exposure to so many styles of aircraft has provided him with the ability to see the pros and cons of each design. So, Mark set out developing ultralight trikes that provide more options than any other on the market. His first new design is the Hybrid ParaTrike. Typically, pilots who desire to fly a powered parachute, paramotor or hang glider trike must purchase each individual aircraft and a wing to match. This is costly and usually limits a pilot’s options to purchasing only one of the three. The exciting aspect of the new Hybrid ParaTrike is that an individual can now fly all three wings on one aircraft with one hanging system.
