General discussion

Hi Everybody,

I guess I am the last arrived in this forum, which look really interesting and cool. I am not an Acro pilot, although I really enjoying seeing you boys, but I am really your 'average paraglider pilot' . I live in a pretty flat place (only a small ridge available with Northerly wind) and while my paramotor friends fly all the weekends I am pretty much earthbound most of the time for my refusal to go 'noisy'.

hi for those who are visiting to Pokhara NEPAL. we got cottages for rent . veryclosed to Landing area, beautiful views of lake.

Wondering if I can get a few thoughts from the more experienced acro peeps. My buddy got hurt the other day when both of his reserves ended up going into his wing. He was twisted up and the glider was either in heli or tailslide. He wasn't falling fast enough for the reserve to deploy and I think it just wrapped around the lines. He ended up hitting the ground and got very lucky with a broken foot.

Let's do a brainstorm session together!
It is all about the Freestyle 3!
The evolution continues!
We love the current Freestyle 2 glider. You can:

- walk up the mountains (weight size 20 is 4,2 kg)
- go for XC flying (good glide ratio about 8+)
- do Acro flying (12G)
- feel the glider, let it immediately act how you want
- fly in super strong soaring conditions because it is fast
- .....

There are many good things, but also things to do better.

WE WANT YOUR IDEAS!

Hi, a friend of mine was in Organya last week and told me about a fatal accident (on Friday 23 I think). Does anybody have more info to share? It seems that the victim was a french pilot, of very good level (infinity), flying a thriller. I understood he couldn't control a massive collapse and fell into his wing. What happened exactly, I don't know. My friend told me the conditions in the air suddenly changed because of a big Congestus and went very very ugly.
