I do physical training, mountain running, skiing, kitesurfing.

Most important paragliding successes?

Twice 2nd place in the Red Bull X-Alps and 3rd place in the X-Pyr.

Why do you fly for ADVANCE?

Because it is one of the companies with the best equipment, they have been a serious and constant company for years, plus they are a family and friendly team.
