Carlsberg High Five

Posted by Stuart, March 1st, 2009

Another great High Five event from our sponsors, Carlsberg. The race was probably the biggest yet and as usual we were there to animate it from above. Such a great day, with skiers jumping so high and gliders flying so low….just remind me who has the right of way in a head on situation between ...

NEW YEAR…WITH A BANG!

Posted by Stuart, January 1st, 2009

WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN

Posted by Stuart, May 20th, 2008

CAMELS, GLIDERS AND AUTOMOBILES! This was definately not the highlight of my paragliding career. We needed a guide to take us to a place hidden away enough to fly without being seen and therefore running the risk of being locked up as spies!
