1st scene
Glider: Swing Astral 4 „M” (DHV 1-2)
Note: SAT from inside. Take a look at the body position and timing.

2nd scene
Glider: Aerodyne Dune „S” (Afnor performance)
Note: The sinking rate is not so much because after the entry the pilot pulls the brake even deeper to make the SAT steeper. At the end the shape of the wing even starts to break (beginning of a Coconut Spin).

Champions Take Nothing - Richard Gallon interview

„First it wasn’t called acro, it was only called crazy stuff. The name of acro came really the day when Raul Rodriguez created the SAT team. It was the beginning of the acro“ – says legendary pilot, Richard Gallon about the rise of the paragliding aerobatics, one of the most edging mountain sport this days. Acro was dominated by two Spaniards, Raul and Felix Rodriguez for many years. These gentlemen created most of the maneuvers and hold the world champion title.
