If you hitchhike, Gimmelift will make it much easier for you. It is an easy-to-use, folding, small accessory that enables you to display your destination in a matter of seconds. You can display any destination with the set of letter and number cards by putting them into the plastic sleeves. The folded set fits into your pocket.
I hitch-hiked a lot as a student. I’ve been doing it again since I started paragliding, and I developed this accessory to make hitch-hiking more efficient.

Your chance of getting a lift will significantly improve if you let drivers know that you’re going in the same direction as them (or at least to some point).
Using our sign will help you get a ride in two ways: You’ll start communication with drivers and let them know not only that you’re hitch-hiking, but also where you’re heading for.

„I’m one of the most active cross country paraglider pilots in Hungary. Just like others practicing this sport, I have also frequently experienced the desperate situation of needing a ride at dusk on a side road somewhere far away from home. Using Gimmelift helped me tremendously in these cases.“
Gábor Wiederwald,What’s more, a good-looking and sophisticated sign gives a good impression of you as a hitch-hiker. Drivers tend to trust well-presented hitch-hikers more. Efficient communication and impression management will help you gain credibility.
Our customers told about Gimmelift
GIMMELIFT has been tested and it works. Our main goal during the design stage was to develop a visually efficient tool, so that the sign can be read from a relatively large distance.

PGBS was developed because we saw many times pilots who need to take some additional weight to increase their “flying weight” for the better wing load of their paraglider. But they had to still solve it with improvisations like carrying water in plastic bottles (without possibilities drain water down) or carrying under the seat of their harnesses not very safe possibility – stones.
