Gerlitzen prices more than double

I just found out that the season ticket price for paragliders in Gerlitzen has more than doubled :(

It´s now 386€, that´s more than 200€ more than last year!

There is a "light" version, that costs 186€ but which is hardly good for aerobatics training as you can only use the gondel twice per day.

In comparison, hikers only pay 74€ for the season card.

Acro courses & Coaching

Hi everyone,

I am offering an SIV / Acro course in Oludeniz in May and October this year. The course will be fully tailored to suit all levels and kept to small group sizes so more time can be focused on each pilot. I am also offering private courses and online coaching for acro.

What is Freestyle vs Acro?

I googled and I can't seem to find an answer to this. What is the difference between freestyle and acro? I see wings advertised as one or the other but I don't quite understand where freestyle ends and acro begins.

Can you put it into words?

different brake line length

I recently did some stall to back fly on my freestyle3. I was having trouble with it spinning in backfly. I can back fly my B wing no issues.
I measured the brakes and the left is 2cm shorter Tha the right. I cant remember which way it was spinning.
Do you think the difference would effect me?
Or is it a combination of a more sensitive wing and less experience?
First 2 back flys were perfect now I having trouble
