A week of training is trail, mountain bike, hike and fly and flight. I always try to do a lot of elevation and descent while flying.

There are so many good memories, cross-country, competitions, hike and fly…I think I have so many good memories with paragliding that I don’t have any bad ones.

Unfortunately no, in 2020 I registered but it was cancelled.
