"Under the skies of blue..."
Late, but great conditions from Stoderzinken on May 2nd, where over 100 enthusiastic XC pilots got rewarded with outstanding conditions - and many new personal bests.
For me 282km on this fist "Hammer-day" of 2026 in the eastern Alps 🤩
SRS Gin Edition has kicked off today in Roldanillo COL.
Very proud to have been nominated for the @xcmag team! 😃 I tried to give it all and overcome my mixed experiences regarding flatland flying.
It paid off: I am super happy as I was able to come in 8th of 120 pilots 🤩 - that is all that is in for me, flying the same glider for the 4th season and a non-submarine harness.
Congrats to task winner @elisa.deutschmann , who delivered what I would call a perfect race. Start to finish leading without any mistakes - bold style!

Last weekend the prize giving for cross country and competiton paragliding was taking place in Hallein.
Super-happy to confirm my Austrian XC Champion again after 2024 and that even with my club Mojo we could win the XC Club Championships! 🤩
Additionally proud, that the @_business_insights team pilots Eli Egger and Daniel Tyrkas could win the Overall Categories in competition flying - almost a clean sweep for all official overall categories 💪
What an outstanding season to share with my fellow free-flying minds! Big Thanks!!🤗

See the comments for some of the highlights in the local press (German)
Austrian comp season came to a worthy ending at Bischling. 2 days of great
flying during the Austrian Club Championships despite windy forecasts - simply the most reliable spot for hosting this event. Great to see all air buddies again in a even more relaxed setting. 😃
Thanks for the organization to the whole team of Ikarus Abtenau!
See you next year!
Being above 4000m around the longest day of the year? Priceless!
Some sub-optimal decisions, no records - just enjoyed the stunning views again after last year's Grente was discarded from the menu due to bad weather.
Still ranks currently as my third and "worst" flight this year with 283km. Niiice 😃
