XCONTEST XRACE! - new paragliding competition format!
Date for the race is fixed, also the location: 12th-18th July in Tolmin!
XRace introduces new and revolutionary format of task setting and scoring of paragliding competitions with tasks well known from gliding (AAT). Waypoints will have larger cylinders as usual, every pilot will decide by himself how "deep" into the cylinder will go.Winning combination is best average speed at the track. Read more about the cmopetition format. International debate about the comp check at PGFORUM.

This weekend there will be an annual meeting, where they will be discussing the future of paragldiing design, safety and other subjects of interest to all the pilots. Among other things, whether or not to allow carbon technology in paragliders in competition. After winning the Paragliding World Cup Superfinal in September 2009 with its BBHPP, Ozone revealed their winning paraglider uses flexible carbon rods chordwise across the glider. The Paraglider Manufacturers Association (PMA), which represents 28 manufacturers (lots but not all of the industry), cried foul, and argued that the carbon rods meant the BBHPP was not a paraglider as we know it, but a different type of glider altogether... More about read in XCMAG. So paragliding winter cup last weekend was maybe the only FAI event in Europe, where  we could see the "rigid" wings flying together with normal wings. Hope NOT! Check the video of Urban trying hard to take-off  (between 3-4 minute) with the rigid :)
