A dream came through on the 8th of November in Brazil by entering the elite club of pilots who flew more than the 500 km with a paraglider. My longest ever flight of 11 hours...this was a true mission, requiring top endurance, motivation and support and teamwork of friends such as Veso Ovcharov and Maurice Knur. Thanks to Ozone Paragliders for creating the best equipment out there!

Dear fans, I need your help! Please share your emergency situations caught on tape and help other people not to make the same mistakes! From cross country emergencies to acro, collapses, twists, cravats, reserve deployments, etc. - everything is welcome!

I am working on new episodes for Master Acro such as Misty Flip, Misty to Heli, SAT to Heli, Heli to SAT, Heli to Heli, MacTwist, MacTwist to Heli, Tumbling, Rythmic SAT, Infinite Tumbling...There are many special situations and emergencies that I am not able or not willing to reproduce. Not only looking for situations related to the maneuvers above, but also in general. Even non-acro related action can be very useful...

I successfully completed the course to the next level of the German/Austrian instructor certification! In the future I will become a DHV certified 'Performance Trainer' instructor.

Another TOP 10 result in the second Red Bull X-Alps participation of my career, this time 7th, only 89km from the shores of Monaco! What an adventure, what a team, what a fight to work my way back after the 2 days penalty due to a silly airspace violation...I don't even want to think 'what if.'...but I am really happy with the result! After the 2009 edition I told myself I'd never do this to myself ever again...but somehow I failed my own promise.
