Adrenaline overdose...

A few days ago Gábor had a crash after he broke an A line in an Asymmetric SAT. The glider was flying and he decided to land without rescue but when he was already very low the wing entered a deep stall what he couldn't recover and he hit the ground. His back hurt so the ambulance bring him to the closest big hospital in Lleida by helicopter. They did some X-Rays, but it didn't show too much. Since then he is waiting for a CT scan to make sure if there is a problem or not. In the meantime he starts to feel better and got totally bored in the hospital's bed.

However the competition season has already began in July with Acrolac, the rules for paragliding aerobatics hasn't been published yet on the official websites.
Actually there are quite a lot of changes this year, like the difficulty coefficients of many maneuvers.

Shooting

Yesterday we had perfect weather so we decided to work a little bit to make some nice photo and video images. I have to say it was a really successful afternoon, we managed to make some amazing air-to-air video and photo images from tandem. András was piloting and Pícsör was shooting the footage, both of them are very experienced cameramans and pilots of course.

I'm going to upload some more pictures and hopefully some video clips later on.

Busy campsite

Hi 4 all,

I'm pretty happy to write the first comment at justACRO blog. Gotta be short, since we have to go to the take off soon. Where? Of course we are in Organyá. Actually this we constituted by many people. The oldest residents are Pál, Gábor, Szasza and the filming crew: Saci and me.

The campsite was empty at the beginning, but nowdays it's hard to find a place to pitch a tent. Two days ago other Hungarian pilots arrived: Lupus, Pícsör and Adri. Evenings are loud by German words too, members of Against the Grain Acro Team cooking their pasta in their big tent.

Next APWC - Paranoia ACRObatixx

The next Aerobatics Paragliding World Cup event will take place in the beginning of August, at the beautiful Zell am See, which is also one of the most famous cross country starting points in Austria. However the competitors will take-off from Schmitten Hoehe which is facing directly to the lake. The landing platform wil be placed just next to the city center, so thousands of spectators are expected to see the competition and different shows between the runs like BASE jumping, The Renegades, ACRO Fr!tz and Mike Küng. In the final task the best pilots will jump from helicopter.
