Pre-PWC Ukranian Open - Kruševo

The Pre-PWC Ukranian Open is the last comp on our European tour. Kruševo is a sweet town in the mountains, and the flying here is awesome! We've had 4 tasks in 4 days, and tomorrow is the final day. Day one had only 3 pilots in goal, day 2 also only a few into goal, and Yassen is winning. Yesterday was a super fast day, and i was 6th into goal! Today was a fun 58km FAI triangle, and I also made goal in the top 10.

Kruševo, Macedonia

Крушево

Another country! This is my first time to Macedonia, a small country to the south of Serbia. Kruševo is the highest town in Macedonia, situated at an altitude of 1250 m (over 4000ft) above sea level. We are here for the Ukranian Open Pre-PWC Paragliding Competition. More coming soon.

Pre-PWC Niš, Serbia

We had 4 of 4 tasks in Niš, with lots of sunshine and hot days. The first 2 days were the best for flying, with strong lift and clouds, and then super high pressure arrived. Only 2 pilots in goal on task 1, i finished 4th landing a few km before goal. Day 2 I landed at the first turn point: raced myself to the ground. The next two tasks no pilots in goal, conditions were very challenging with weak climbs not going very high. I placed 10th overall, and Melanie was 13th overall, and 1st ladies!

Град Ниш - City of Niš

Melanie, Jens & I arrive to Serbia after some wonderful beach time in the Adriatic Sea in Croatia. We are excited to fly here and take part in the upcoming Pre-PWC Paragliding Comeptition.

Poggio Bustone

The Pre-PWC paragliding competition in Poggio Bustone from Sept. 6-9 was the final event of my summer in Europe. The first two days were blown out, but we had excellent conditions for the last two days. This area of Italy has numerous flying sites and I look forward to flying again in Italy, actually anywhere in Europe!








Eike brought this crazy hydroplaning device called an Aqua Skipper and we headed to the lake to pass the time on one of the canceled days.
