Cross Country - The Red Bull X-Alps is on...

"Meanwhile a new X-Alps star was being born. Pal Takats, acro king and star of the recently released brilliant film, Adrenaline and Turbulence, had been showing that his flying skills weren’t confined to acro by ploughing through the field on his paraglider in very difficult conditions. Having passed the Marmolada, Pal turned north to follow the Hofer route into the bigger hills, whilst the rest of the mid field players followed Maurer’s southern route towards Lake Como."
