Brothers Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier launched the first independent, hot air balloon ride in France in 1783. At that time little, little advancement had been made since the technology and resources were still under research. Ten years later, in 1793, Jean Pierre Blanchard became the first to fly a hot air balloon in North America with George Washington present to see the balloon launch. As time progressed with technology and research advancement, adventure enthusiast pushed the boundaries of what was once considered a challenge to an easy to achieve sport today.
