This is how a competition has to be, nice food, lots of spectators and a cool show for the competition. The special award for the best organized competition goes to Xandi. Thanks!
The weather was not so good, but Xandi was able to hold three tasks in Syncro and two tasks in Solo. With two solid runs Horazio Llorenz Fernandez ruled the Solo-part. Basti became the best Lorit with rank 17, followed by James 18 and Ricky 23.
It seemed that Tobi and Pati trained hard in their valley. For their first world cup event they did very well and became the best Austrians with rank 6. Ricky and James followed on rank 8. after Xandi and Bernd, who got 7.
Judith Zweifel from Switzerland rocked the house in the woman’s category.
We, the Lorits and everybody who was at the competition will look forward to the next Acro Austria, which will (hopefully) take place the next year. It will be amazing, this is for sure.
Daniel had a show flight in Ramsau for the Airpower 2010, but sadly the north wind was to strong that Masi, Tom, Clemens and Daniel just could party in the tent and look at the Gamsjagas how they shoot with bow and arrow.

After the strong Austrian Monsoon rain fall in June the weather became perfect the last fourteen days. Simon and Daniel where soaring over the “Achensee” with the strong Northwind approx two hours just in Sweatshirt. In the Zillertal valley Tobi, Pati and Sandi also found a awesome place for late night soaring sessions. They took a lot of pictures, have a look at them.
On Tuesday Sandi is going to Switzerland to the Nissan outdoor games, he will prepare food for the boys and supports team Aragon with Bernd and Basti with their film production.
At the 10th of July the Acro Jam will start in Krippenstein. Do not miss this date and meet a lot of people from the Acro World Cup and our Team Members. After this weekend Rik, James, Daniel and Basti will train like hell over the Ossiachersee for the Competition in Zell am See.
