History
The company was originally started by in 1994 as by Pierzyński as "TNT Sport". The Raven paraglider was the first product designed and produced before the company name was changed to Dynamic Sport and relocated to Kielce in 1995.
By 1996 the company had paramotors in series production using the ubiquitous

motor.
After originally manufacturing paragliders from local materials that proved inferior, the fabric was switched to Porcher Marine. This resulted in higher prices but better performance and durability.
Rene Coulon, in reviewing the company in 2003, wrote, "very involved in the production of paragliders and paramotors, Dynamic is a soundly based company that knows where it’s going. With the growth of the European Community Poland will have access to an enormous market where their technical and intellectual capacity can be appreciated, especially with their very low prices at the moment."
In a 2011 review of the company by the Polish on-line aviation magazine, Lotniczapolska, the company at that time acted as a distributor for Walkerjet engines and reduction drives. The manufacturer did not supply parts in a timely manner, which resulted in criticism of Dynamic Sport. This was resolved by changing suppliers for the engines and drives.
