justACRO Team

Yesterday we did our first flight in Brasil, on the Island of Florianópolis. However the conditions were not too strong it was possible to climb up to 5-600 meters and to cruise around above the breathtaking Lagoon!

Today morning Szasza, Gábor and me arrived to the Island of Florianopolis in South Brasil. Here we met with our friend Fabio Baretto Fava, one of the best brasilien acro pilots and we will travel together in the next 2.5 month, to fly acro and also some XC in Brasil.

Today is hot but a bit rainy here, but now it's just perfect for us to chill out after 48 hours of travel...

I hope we will have internet connection regulary, to upload some pictures and videos about our stay here.

By the end of Coupe Icare our round tour is also over. We left home in May and travelled more than 15.000 km in 4 mounths through Europe, spending all our time with training and participating acro competitions. It was our first synchro season with Gábor and we learned a lot not only about the maneuvers but how to compete, what can be even more important sometimes.

However 2 days ago I made nice 4 turn Tumblings, yesterday I managed to fall into the canopy right in the 3rd revolution of a very very bad Tumbling...

I wish you will never ever experience these moments!

2 cameras were filming the action, one from the startplace and another from the landing field.
Cick here to see the video of the accident

Last thursday I took Gábor’s G-Force to try some MacTwists and to check if the length of the brake is comfortable to enter the maneuver. However I already made lot’s of MacTwist with my glider probably I still do something wrong, because I twisted again exactly the same way like few weeks ago…I tried to spin the glider immediately to resolve the twists but somehow I turned further together with the glider and maybe even got some more twists (I’m not sure). Finally I was locked in Full Stall and threw the rescue.

I have been very busy recently because today we start an AcroTour togather with my friends Gábor and Szilárd. That's why the site wasn't updated so often, in the last weeks I didn't have time at all...

In the first part of the tour we'll visit Acrofolies, Wagas Festival and Acrolac and in the meantime we'll spend a lot of time in Spain to train as much as possible.
