On Tuesday the 7th of June me and Wolfi went to a G-Force Training in Gröbming. Paul Guschlbauer and Mike Küng were also there. It was a really interesting experience to get to learn more over the centrifugal force and how it feels when nearly your whole blood leaves your head.

The G-Force Trainer is a really special trainingsinstrument for paraglider.

Every possible decline level of the glider can be simulated there.

A nice day !

The Bordairline Race in Werfenweng was a good testing time for XAlps. My supporter Wolfi an me were aimed to test as much as possible in this 'small 12 hours' race. We wanted to improve and refine our mission - and therefore the Bordairline Race was a good frameset, which simulated the race character better than just our training days !

With the 6.th place i am also pleased !

In the easiness the energy is sleeping! Austrian saying !

 

It looks good!
