Me starting paragliding was only pure
luck for my part. I was always dreaming of hanggliding, beeing
brought up by a hanggliding father who started flying long time
before my birth. We travelled all over the country to different
competitions and meetings. Until 1994 when he stopped being an
active pilot. After that I wanted som mutch be fly myself, but I
didn't have the money before 2000. I looked all over Norway for a
hangglider course, but no sigar. In the end I joined a paraglider
course in despare. Later I found out this was not such a bad idea. But my original dream of flying hangglider never dissapared, and in 2002 I joined a conversion course and are now flying both types of gliders. In the beginning of
my paraglider carrier I flew cross-country as everybody else, but
when acro-paragliding started in Norway I relly felt that this was
the real me. Nowdays acro-paragliding is 95% of my flying. |
