My name is Jillis Slingerland and I live in Putten.
As a little boy I often went on Saturday evenings with my parents to watch airplanes where people jumped out. I loved seeing this and couldn’t wait for Saturday night again. It is therefore only logical when I myself was of the age to follow the AFF (Accelerated Free Fall), individual free fall parachute jumping training that I also followed this.

I did skydiving for a while and then switched to paramotor flying. Here I got to know Harold van Veldhuizen, who subsequently enthused me to participate in the slalom competitions. I have been doing this for quite some time now and with great pleasure. With a smile on my face I start every race both at home and abroad with healthy excitement to fly a great race.

I am an entrepreneur, which sometimes entails a high workload. Flying gives me positive energy to fly around after a working day. What could be nicer to do this during sunset.
