Marcelo Borzino, a respected and experienced brazilian acro pilot, also known in the competition scene has died a few days ago while attempting to do Infinity Tumbling. He fell into the wing at about 300 meter above the water. He had no chance to open the rescue parachute, hit the water in free fall and died instantly...

Rest in peace Marcelo!

Please take care...

Acro World Cup 2007 - FINAL RESULTS

The Aerobatics Paragliding World Cup represents the highest competition level in paragliding aerobatics and consists of 5-6 major events every year. The solo and the synchro category has two different rankings. In every run of a competition the pilots get points by their ranking position in the certain run (for example the winner of the run always gets 100 points, the 2nd a bit less, etc. The exact calculating formula can be found in the annexes of the FAI Sporting Code).

Alexandre Aimard: Infinity Dream

The talented french acro pilot and movie maker Alexander Aimard won the Coupe Icare Free Flight Festival in the Best sporting film category with his new creation, the INFINITY DREAM! Excellent idea, funny story and incredible shots! Alex also completed a very nice competition season and he finished 5th in the Acro World Cup 2007 (as first french pilot)!
Enjoy it!
