Pál Takáts (picture right side), the most successful acro pilot this season (1.place Acro World Cup 2007 - solo) and at present placed second in the FAI-Acro worldranking, and Gábor Kézi, ranked 18th in the FAI list, joined the U-Turn acro team. Both pilots employed up to now a glider that was developed by U-Turn Designer Ernst Strobl, but built by another manufacturer. Now the Hungarian pilots want to get the best of the continuosly enhanced original G-FORCE 360.

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...

Raúl Rodríguez, the most well known and respected ACRO world champion pilot ever, has announced that he is to quit competition flying. Raul has perhaps been the most influential pilot within the sport of paragliding and his contribution to the discipline of acro has been inmeasurable. Raúl, invented most of the extreme acro manouvres used today, such as the “Sat” or the incredible “Infinity Tumbling.” - He is still the current Guiness world record holder for the most consecutive “Infinity Tumbles” completing a perfect 108 tumbles in June 2006.

Yesterday was a nice day for me. I was practicing helicos, and it went very well in the begining. I was also able to do a dynimac fullstall to helico :) Then I climbed up again, and went for an other helico which didn't work well, so I lead out... but it was too fast, and shoot in front of me, and below. In the next moment I was in the lines, so I throw to rescue immediatly.
