Dear justACRO fans, I need your help! Please share your emergency situations caught on tape and help other people not to make the same mistakes! From cross country emergencies to acro, collapses, twists, cravats, reserve deployments, etc. – everything is welcome!
I am working on new episodes for Master Acro such as Misty Flip, Misty to Heli, SAT to Heli, Heli to SAT, Heli to Heli, MacTwist, MacTwist to Heli, Tumbling, Rythmic SAT, Infinite Tumbling…There are many special situations and emergencies that I am not able or not willing to reproduce. Not only looking for situations related to the maneuvers above, but also in general. Even non-acro related action can be very useful…

This year sees the launch of the new Asian Tour. Each event has the same status as a Pre World Cup, as the winner will automatically qualify for the Super Final. Apart from giving pilots the opportunity to discover fantastic untried locations, the idea is to train new organisers and bring the Paragliding World Cup concept to Asia.
Some of the World’s finest pilots will be taking to the skies, enjoying the rich autumn colours in South Korea from the 4th of October onwards, including European champions and World Cup task winners.
South Korea is well known for its artistic cuisine, mostly unrecognisable to westerners, but impossible not to fall in love with, punctuated with a bowl Kimchi at the end of every chopstick. South Korea is a must visit location for any World traveller.
Join the PWC family above the forested mountains of Gochang, in the south west corner of South Korea, via the Flymaster live tracking on http://pwca.org/asia.
For those who can’t make this event, a Paragliding World Cup will take place in Gochang in October 2020.
