Twisted infinity Devil Twist 😈🔥🪂
Sound on to hear the massive relief and stoke of doing this manoeuvre 🔊🔊

Over the last season I hit a brick wall being too scared to figure out the twisted tricks. Managing fear is a big factor of acrobatic flying, as fear can take up a massive part of your mental capacity. I got very frustrated as all my attempts on twisted tricks were dominated by the fear.

The feeling of finally sending after weeks of frustration is almost overwhelming! Finally it worked ✨🪂💚

Thanks to the acro community for support and tips, and thanks to @mael_jmz and @copilotparagliding for mental support !

We all do mistakes - sometimes big ones 🫣🪂

I am grateful to walk away from this one unharmed 🙏

I was attempting to do a twisted exit without losing the twist. On my exit i was not 100% straight vertical, and i got some rotation on the stall-exit. I wanted to let it fly and catch the shoot keeping the twist - big mistake 😅😅 the glider went to backfly and i let it fly🫣
full on shitshow followed, i completely lost control and the momentum threw me into the glider ☠️

A bit sore back from the reserve opening, otherwise only hurt my pride. Thank you @highadventure.ch for the nice beamer 3 opening.

Time to repack and get back in the air 🪂💚

Curtains are closing on this first How-To Workshops season 🎬

Against all odds and challenging weather, our students pushed through, reached their goals, and truly embraced our teaching methods. The “all-inclusive” format turned out to be a game changer — it allowed us to connect with each pilot on a personal level and build something real.

So many laughs, shared moments, and unforgettable flights. The vibe was incredible — a genuine team spirit that brought us all further than we could have imagined.

Massive thanks to @antonchruick, who for his very first season as an instructor showed amazing teaching and social skills, always keeping the group smiling and motivated 🙌

Big shout-out to @hugoglide, who joined us straight after a full competition season as content manager/creator — and became a real force both at takeoff and within the team.

And of course, to all our students — thank you. For your trust, your energy, your passion, and for making this first season so special. We can’t wait to see you again next year… and we hope you’ll be doing your “homework” over the winter 😉

This year was a blast 💥
Now it’s time to gear up for winter with the #acroacademy, fine-tune our methods, and keep raising the bar for next season.

We are proud and honoured to count @antonchruick from now on as one of our instructors. From the cold and cranky Norwegian weather, Anton will be a very strong asset for us and the development of our teaching model.

But who’s Anton ?

“I’m a passionate pilot and dedicated instructor with a deep-rooted love for pushing boundaries—both in the air and in personal development. Based in Norway, I’ve been part of the acro scene for years, competing and helping grow the sport nationally. My main focus today is coaching pilots through SIV and acro training with a highly individualized, one-to-one approach.
With a background as a paramedic in the Norwegian ambulance service, I bring a calm, focused mindset and a strong sense of safety to everything I do. I believe real progression doesn’t come from just ticking off maneuvers—it comes from understanding your own psychology, managing fear, and building the right mindset. That’s why I tailor each training to the individual: from the technical skills to the mental game.
I have a keen eye for detail, a broad and deep understanding of paragliding, and a particular passion for working with pilots operating outside their comfort zone. Helping others find flow, overcome fear, and take confident steps forward—safely and with purpose—is what drives me as a coach.”

Can’t wait to see him wear our Pink hoodie and help our pilots become the best version of themselves 🫶
