JARED AND TANYA Newman, of Montrose, Colorado, and their children, Dustin and Jaden, are close, perhaps because they've spent time together pursuing interests not typical of many families. "We were 'motor-heads,'" Jaden Newman, now 18, said of her family. "We were into dirt bikes and snowmobiles and boats." As Jaden and her brother Dustin, now 21, grew older, the family added paramotors and airplanes to its motorized collection. "We didn't have TV," Tanya Newman said, "but we watched plenty of Flying Cowboy YouTube videos. We started out watching Tucker Gott with his paramotor and thought it looked fun, so we invested in three of them." They took a four-day class to learn how to operate the paramotors, which are strapped to a pilot's back and require a running start to achieve flight.
