When you make acro videos - music

Ooooh. It's so much nicer to se an acrovideo with music than without. So please take the time to put in some music.

Then you have the problem that youtube do not approve just any music due to copyrights. And I guess that's OK. So where to find music?

If you would consider norwegian music, then this is the web for you. This is norwegian artists without a recordcontract yet, but recomended by the radiochannel P3. It's called "urørt" (untouched).

Acro for real "strong" persons?

Hey guys!!

I really have a problem... Maybe someone of you can help me.

I slowly want to start flying acro but the problem is that my naked weight is 135 kg.

So its difficult for me to find a glider which is not to "hot" for me. I am flying since 2008 and my actuell glider is a UP Kantega 2. Its a very comfortable glider, i did a SIV that year and it was great. But for starting acro i want to fly something new.

Has anybody of you a sollution for me? That would be great.

Thank you for all your help!

Nice flights
Chris

2k12 Thriller - brake line length adjustment

Dear experts,
can anybody share their experience about thriller brake length?

My experience is as follows:
Currently I'm 66kg nacked and I'm flying Thriller 2k12 size 18. (~4,5 stress load)
I practice ritmic sat to infinite tumblings.
So it was initially very complicated to work with the brake lines standard length. Which was performed by default from U-turn.

So I've reduced it 15cm. It's more convenient to do ritmic, but some problem I had with fast heli manoeuvres.

Finnish acro pilots

As the organizer of the Open Nordic Championships paragliding Acro 2012, I'm trying to get in touch with some acropilots from Finland. If they exist.

Since 2006 we have organized The Nordic Championships (Open). The nordic countries are Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Finland. Never have we had pilots from Finland joining the competition (nor Iceland).

So... if you are or know some acropilots from these countries, register for the comp her:
