Sikkerhedskursus i Tyrkiet

Så er der åben for tilmeldingen til sikkerhedskurset i Tyrkiet - nærmere bestemt Ölüdeniz. I år vil der være fokus på være sikkerhed og acro. Der vil også være en del tid til friflyvning, spisning, fest og ballade ;) Kurset vil være egnet for alle piloter på trin 3 eller derover.

Formålet med kurset er selvfølgelig at have det sjovt og få fløjet en masse. Vi starter med basis manøvrerne og arbejder os op derfra. For de piloter der rent flyvemæssigt er klar, og som føler for det, vil der også være mulighed for at snuse til acrolight og acro.

Træningen vil selvfølgelig være tilpasset den enkelte pilot.

Starten ligger ca. 1900 m over havet, og der vil være ca. 1200 højdemeter til øvelserne, når man er ude over vandet.

Før vi flyver, vil vi gennemgå alt udstyret som på et pakkekursus.!!

Kurset starter lørdag d. 16.10.2010 med kontrol af udstyret og slutter lørdag d. 23.10.2010.

Downteam Challange 2009

Down Team challanges in Åre in Sweden was without doubt one of the best-organized competitions that I have been compeeting in. Everything was on time and there was organized a concert, hammocks for the lazy and dinner with the finest food.
It was a pleasure that Thomas Fasterholdt had come to Åre and should participate. He had his mother Grethe with him, who after a little persuasion decided to be part of the swoop competition. Unfortunately we only flew one of three rounds, but she made her first Sat - very nice!
The Acro competition went very well and we flew the entire 5 rounds. There was not much height, so 3 exercises were max. I came anyway to show my infinity and impress the other pilots. We were just two of the 19 participating who could make this maneuver. Ove from Voss was the other pilot.
The day before the competition, we had the opportunity for training. Thomas had decided to fly his Mustang in the competition, although he had bought Essie´s Slingshot. Apparently he had to fly the Slingshot anyway after making a dynamic Sat, which broke entire 27 lines on the Mustang.



Although Thomas hardly had flown the Slingshot, he managed the competition beyond all expectations and ended on a fine 11 place. Among others, he managed to create such a high Dynamsik Sat that the judges insisted that he had made a Tumbling. After a brief look at the video they had, however, to admit that they had been mistaken. I must say I am really proud of him.

I also managed competition beyond all expectations. After run 3, I was number 1 and the pressure increased. I must admit that it is a little stressful to lie entirely in the top and know that there are still several runs to be flown.
I won the 4. run, and now there was just one run left.
I was sitting on the top waiting for my turn. I could feel the tension rising but I tried to relax. I had decided to make Tumble instead of infinity because I did not believe that the height would be sufficient. Now it was about making every maneuver flawlessly.
I started my program. First Tumbling - it went perfectly. Then the Helicopter - it could hardly have been better and then finally Misty Flip. I did the entire program with only very small mistakes and landed on the raft after a long foot touch. I knew that I had done well, but was it enough to keep the 1 place?



Lookely it was, and I am now the proud holder of the title Nordic Champion. I can not quite describe how it feels to suddenly stand on the top of the podium and know that you have won a competition out of 19 pilots. I am at least proud and very happy.



Let me finally take this opportunity to tell that Siamak from Iran, which I had trained with in Villach, ended the competition on a splendid and deserved 5 place in the Downteam Challange 2009.



See you in 2010.

SEE THE RESULTS HERE!!!
