A group of the youngest, most talented and highly ambitious acro pilots from the latest generation are road tripping with the crew of Ahstudio filming through the entire 2012 season!

A message from the guys:

WATCH IN HIGH-DEFINITION! A short film about the evolution in acro paragliding. Interviewing the pioneers of the sport about the good old times and introduces the „new-school" style with the latest moves and inventions of Pal Takats.
For the first time, officially presenting brand new acro tricks (so-called „multi connections") invented in 2011 such as the: „Cork", „Cowboy" and the „Joker".

‘Coloured Sky’ with Marvin Ogger won a golden Icare at the international free flight film festival in St. Hilaire, France for the “best short movie of the year” - enjoy the great work of www.ahstudio.fr

Female acrobatic paraglider world champion Judith Zweifel wants to learn the currently most difficult paraglider manoeuvre. During the two years it takes to achieve success she has to come to terms with her fear and self-doubt. A film about achieving huge goals, freedom and growing older.
Beside many others, Judith's film will be projected next weekend during the Coupe Icare Festival in St. Hilaire, France, as well as a stylish short clip of leading German acro pilot Marvin Ogger.

The Coupe Icare Festival, the biggest freeflying meeting and expo in the world was even bigger and better organized for its 35th edition!
Despite the strong north winds on friday and saturday the weather was mostly sunny and the cliff of St. Hilaire du Touvet released strong lee thermals till mid afternoon. More than 60 acro pilots showed up from all around Europe to participate in the acro demonstrations and unlike in the last years, this time it was possible to climb over the take-off and impress the spectators with acro figures up on the plateu, as well as in the landing place down in the valley.
