In the meantime I managed to convert and upload a video that I found on www.guiadevoo.com It's showing my final run at BrasilAcro 2007 (program: Tumble, Rhythmic SAT, Infinity, Misty Flip, Helicopter). Thanx to the camera man for filming & lending me the helmet camera (see "read more..." below the video) ! Another thanx to Luca Soulos for doing the speaker
On
Tuesday, 23rd October we (Bernd, Xandi, Marcell & Martin) left
Austria (where it just started to snow) and headed to South America.
After our first two flights (Vienna to Milano, Milano to Buenos Aires)
we had some hours to spend in Buenos Aires before our last plane took
off to Salta. We have a lot of fun with all the other guys from South
America and enjoy the sunny weather .
In the middle of October I (Bernd) met Andy Busslinger in Switzerland to shoot some product photos for U-Turn as well as to get some nice Infinity shots. We spent two good days together.
A few pictures for you

The biggest acro competition of the season is over: Vertigo Swiss Riviera 2007. A little bit rainy in the beginning but afterwards sunny flying conditions every day. The competition was very successful for against the grain in many ways: Bernd and Xandi won the synchro competion this year, close in front of JUSTacro, third SATisfaction. We felt a little unconfident in the beginning because of ...
In the middle of August I (Bernd Hornböck) decided to change my wing. I will be flying U-Turn wings from now on. Alex will continue with Icaro. Nothing else changes.
I'm happy to have spent nearly 3 years of good cooperation within the Icaro company. It was a very interesting time that I don't want to miss.
Anyway - life goes on and so I will give my best together with my new partner for paragliders: U-Turn. At the moment I'm flying a Morpheus 17 (very big thanx goes out toMike Küng who borrowed me one of his gliders to be able to train and compete at Vertigo).
