His family is already with him, hoping for his recovery. I'd like to ask you to be patient for a while and support him by being with him in your thoughts. I'll keep you informed."

Klaus from Austria, who was just in Wilderness?

I'm looking for an acro pilot named Klaus, from Austria, who was just in Wilderness until a couple of days ago. He was flying a yellow and black Skywalk wing.

If you know him, have him get in touch with me! I forgot to give him my info before I piled into the shuttle for another run.

Thanks, y'all. :)

Best
Annette

Rollover/Headober from HotAirBalloon

Hi everybody,

I'm slowly mentaly preparing for a Hot Air Balloon jump in rollover/headover.

I want to know if there are any tricks/clues/rules or informations on the risks of a Rollover jump.

I know the main risk of falling into the canopy if the pilot don't jump far away from the balloon.

Is there any other riss or rules to follow to make a perfect jump?

I red the Aerobatic Book (from Xandi Meschuh and Mike Kung) section on the rollover but there was not so much information
