During Eastern Monday were members of Jemm team and Sky paragliders in Italy Bassano.. It was great opportunity to try new glider models and harnesses. You could buy the products and accessories from paragliding and hang-gliding, visit new companies in their kiosk and spoke about new products. It was busy not only on the ground, but also in the air. It was tension to wait for coming competitors to the goal. The sky was full of pilots all day, thanks to great weather. During 4 days were paragliding and hang-gliding pilots competing, starting from different places but flying together around. So you can imagine how busy it was in the air.
I had occasion to fly between them every day for few hours. Once me and Zuzka flow together in Antea XL and I was very surprised with its glide comparing with other competition gliders. My idea: “Good to fly in top weight glider!” was confirmed. Second day we met group of pilots above the Memory on Big Grapa. I´d catched the right open of start, when all the 140 pilots started fly on the way out. Great view!
I saw a new types of harnesses with cocon in the air and also in promotion. Sky paragliders introduce there also new type of harness Excite 3 and new gliders for this season Anakis and Ares 2. The bigges fun of Excite 3 had small Matěj, sleeping inside So for parawaiting is great opportunity how to spend your free time. The biggest interest was thanks for small catalog, looking like similar old pilot diary.
The Sky introduces also new design of overalls with company colors and special design.
We had all the assortment of Sky gliders in all sizes. The most popular was Anakis thanks to achievement, great skills and safety comparing with school gliders. For sure with Italy colors made big response
