Acro paragliding is popular

There is even a world cup for acro paragliding enthusiasts. There are 4 to 6 competitions. The first world championship was held in 2006 in Switzerland. The International Aviation Federation (FAI) holds a world championship every two years. The competition is in flying solo or synchronised acrobatics. In our conditions this sport is hard to perform. The only suitable terrain for acrobatics is Černá hora (transl. Monte Negro) near Jánské Lázně. In the Czech Republic acro competitions are not held at all due to inadequate terrains and the small number of acro pilots.

What does it look like in practice?

If you are absolute newcomers or have only the basic licence, you should spend months, if not years, training the appropriate skills under the leadership of an experienced trainer and it would be best above water, before you can safely switch to acro. When you become more confident you can start to train spirals and wingovers and other essential things. Periodic training is essential, as well as the building of a solid mentor relationship with the instructor.

This is really the speciality of French phenomenal professional acro pilot Jean Baptiste Chandelier, whose lifelong aim is to create a perfect team, to work with friends and enjoy all the projects oriented to amazing flights and shoot ever-improving shots and videos. He is famous for his luxurious videos, demonstrating all the things that may be achieved with a glider.

The dream is becoming a reality.

A deluxe lifetime experience

I surrendered to my curiosity and decided to try canyoneering on my own skin in the wilds in the Philippines, on Cebu Island at Kawasan. I was sufficiently acquainted with the safety instructions, which there are never enough of, I put on a helmet, a life jacket and solid tennis shoes and set out on my newest adventure.

After completing a trek through the tropical jungle, I saw what looked like a deluxe mysterious canyon. I gradually admired the unbelievably beautiful, water-washed cliff wall forming a narrow canyon with sparkling drops of rushing cool water, caves and sometimes also magnificent waterfalls. Deluxe splendour. The interestingly coloured turquoise water within the limestone cliffs encouraged us to cool down, and I did not expect it to actually be ice cold.

Let’s go!

I thought the first jump was probably the worst, as you have no idea what’s coming. The subsequent jumps and water games are just deluxe cherries on top of the cake. I spent a total of over 3 hours in the canyon. My biggest jump was from 7 metres. I was delighted, I had the experience of a lifetime. I am already thinking about what will come next.
