THE TOLL ROAD

In the summer of 2014, four friends met up with foreign pilots to go on the ultimate paramotor adventure - to tour the American Southwest. Only weeks after the trip, Jeff Toll was tragically killed flying at his home flying field in Chesapeake, VA.
Nine months later, remaining members of Team Fly Halo revisited the southwest to honor and commemorate their fallen friend; and to share his story with the world.
The Toll Road is a non-profit and completely independent film, the soul purpose of the production is to honor Jeff Toll's memory and share his love for the sport.

The production quality on this is absolutely professional and top notch. A great tribute to Jeff, I hope you can all heal properly and thank you so much for this upload. Subbed

[@ryansouthwell]

Thanks Evan.

[@jessicatoll9581]

Thank you to the guys and Ryan for putting this together. For some reason today made me want to watch this video. I had not watched it since the unveiling in our home town. At the time I knew it was a beautiful adventure, but I was unable to watch it without eyes full of tears, fixating on his voice and the emptiness my heart has. This time around there were still tears and mixed emotions of joy and sadness, however I was able to see the beauty of it in its entirety. This video makes missing my best friend a little easier knowing the impact he had on so many. I'm so glad you all finished the trip, I know he would have wanted you to. Things have definitely changed for us all but I know he will always tie us together. Love you all.

Seriously, who gave this a thumb down. Some of the best free content out there

[@ryansouthwell]

Thanks Adrian. I know who gave it a thumbs down and they aren’t very reputable in the sport. But thanks anyway.

[@mikerockwood8988]

So sorry for the loss of your friend. This is an excellent tribute video that shows how strong a bond your group of friends has. The rendition of Cold Play's "O" at the end gave me chills. Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing this work with us.

I just came across your video which gives us all the feeling of meeting all of you first hand. Beautiful story and Jeff has to be proud of what you guys set out to complete. If ever back to Goulding's Lodge let me know would love to meet all of you. Best wishes to all friends and family.

[@ryansouthwell]

Monica Lafont thank you very much. Are you up at Goulding’s Lodge? We are looking to go back but have met some technicalities with restrictions. We’d certainly love to meet you though.

[@wilsonlim9043]

A truly wonderful video Ryan. Epic, moving and inspiring. Hope to be flying also one day. Still hesitant because of the dangers of the sport. But your video makes me want to experience it for myself.

[@PredatorParamotor]

You know its good when you laugh and cry!

[@joegarret6598]

I am so new to this sport but hopefully start school in may. for the past month I have been watching every PPG video I can find. I have the bug sooo bad! Someone at KZbin should be in jail due to the fact I have not seen or stumbled across any of your stuff. Literally took the bug to another level. I may have cried a little on this one. Still have the chills! WOW!

[@pentachronic]

I’m the same as you Bro’. A bit dizzy with anticipation. I’m so itching to get the training started !!! Where are you training ? I plan on training in Northern California.
