Any topics related to paragliding, and acro flying.
Some days ago i tryed a wing without the pulley's. It felt really strange. What are the advantages of removing the pulleys? In wich cases is it usefull, maybe in helicopter?
Good flights!!!

Bad news reached us from Lenggriss in Bavaria. One of our friends, Martin Gwosdz, crashed with his paraglider.
With his 32 years, the Acro community has lost a friendly, happy and peaceful person.
We offer our deepest sympathy to his family!!!
i think this may be up here already but, do you need any skydiving or base jumping experience to use the harness? and how much does an average base canopy cost for my weight (65kg naked pilot weight) ? because i happen to be on a budget (15year old, only summer job) and Pal how does the harness feel compared to the older versions of acro harness, like the acro 3 and is there extra padding like the Ava sport harness for the more intense tricks?
Please add your videos to the Vimeo Acro Paragliding Group. A place where all acro videos can stay on Vimeo, a place where pilots can access all videos posted to vimeo.
See the video an judge by yourself.

Hi all!
I recently tried to enter SAT with my XC glider (Gin Rebel Race).
The problem is that every time I give the impulse, the wing enterswith the outher (lover) side partially collapsed.
I tried to increase speed and ammount of imput, to pull slighly the outer B riser during entry, to exagerate the weightshift, but had no effect.
Is it possible that my wing simply is not able to SAT or is there anything else I can try?
