Task 1. of the Worlds

Today we had very good and fast task. Many people in goal and everybody is happy. At the briefing task was set 74,5 km long. Take off Penon and starting cilinder 2km around turnpoint infront of take off. We had lounch order by WPRS ranking and the time before window open to start was hour and a qurter so everybody had chance to make the best starting position.
I lounched as 77th and fasly climbed above take off to the cloud base. Good thing was that we had clouds that the forecast did not predict. Cloudbases were at 3200 - 3300m and thermals strong but not turbulent. At start time everybody was close to cilinder and to cloudbases. We were all above Crazy thermaling and avoiding to be sucked in the cloud. When the start opened every body went to first turnpoint Divisadero at the end of the second ridge to the west. Height to cross to Maguey was enough at Crazy. Me and Urban took a line more south and made a better glide across. When we were across group climbed at Maguey and cought us and even flew more in front. I pushed speed on the ridge in search of good thermal. I noticed a cumuli in front of turnpoint and realized that the thermal comes from the hole in ridge. I went away from the ridge and saw that about 30 pilots are folowing me. We found climb more than 5ms and we were fast at cloud base. Some pilots allready turned turnpoint but were lower so we glided and on speed we cought firstones. Here we all climbed again to cludbase and went to the south for 10km far turnpoint. Here the group splitted in two. Ones pushed the bar and one with me took it easy and we climbed every thermal we find useful. First ones got very low and we came above most of them .Some of the first ones got f... good climb and were again with us. After that group again splitted in two and one went to thre kings and me and others straight to Espina. The ones at three kings did not make it good. We on the way to Espina climbed 4-5ms thermal and again at ridge climbed 7ms and we were again at clud base in seconds. We flew across Crazy and got extra altitude on the road to turnpoint in the back side of take off about 10 k from Crazy. Sky closed by big cumuli clouds and we removed foot from speeding too much. We were below big cumuli and was sucking suckers so I hato make spiral to be far from base. Now we were about 20 pilots in the first group turning in the shade to make turnpoint. Some had balls and went for the turnpoint and last turnpoint to make goal. We little stayed thermaling but we saw the first five that they had good line and we also went for it. Last turnpoint was Cerro gorrdo and the goal cilinder was La torre take off above Valle. I was with Aljaž, Siegel and Blondeau. Greg pushed hard to make good time and was easly in front of us. Three of us took it easy for the first day and we flew to goal at 58km/h not hurring too much. I ended up about 14th and very happy. Winner was Eric Reed from USA on Niviuk Icepeak3 i think. He was pushing all the way so he earned first place hard with time somewhere about 2hours. Me did it in 2:06. and it is my best result ever.

Second task was set to 91,7 k with goal at private ranch behind Sacamate. Sky was again covered with cumuli at 3000m. Not much for this place but fine. Starting cilinder was 6k around take off with exit. Everybody had enough time to make it to the Crazy and wait opening.

Task 3 - pain road

Today was set more dificult task than yesterday.

Meteo conditions were also worse than yesterday and we had strong inversion that blocked creation of cumuli int he valey in front of Mesa. Task was set to 94 km with goal like yesterday. Luckily I made it to the very end.

Tribalj - Registriran

D04077Od danas 19.prosinca letjelište Tribalj za slobodno letenje paragliderima i zmajevima postalo je službeno te je samim time postignut veliki korak u promociji paraglidinga te organizaciji aktivnosti na našem području pogotovo službenih natjecanja.

Registracija je potrajala duže vremena, ali ipak je na kraju sve odrađeno uspješno.

 Ono što bih sada napomenuo, zamolio, obavijestio je:

  • DA SE SVI PARAGLIDER I HANGLIDER PILOTI KOJI DOLAZE NA TRIBALJ JAVLJAJU. Ako vam je bad zvati pošaljite samo SMS sa imenom i prezimenom te koliko vas ima ako ja već nisam tamo. 
  • Da poštujete zračni prostor označen na karti
  • Da ne radite smeće (ovo mi je nevjerojatno da moram pisati, ali viđam grupe da nakon odlaska puštaju smeće)

FAQ - Ukratko o paraglidingu

0000022Što je to paragliding?

Paragliding je rekreacijski i natjecateljski zračni sport u kojem pilot upravlja svojom letjelicom da bi letio u željenom pravcu itd. Paragliding spada u zrakoplovstvo mada je samo letenje nešto jednostavnije nego kod ostalih zrakoplovnih grana. Mi ga još svrstavamo u slobodno letenje jer pilot slobodno leti kamo on želi poštivajući neke osnovne propise.
