UPSIDE DOWN
Paragliding Aerobatics includes Solo and
Synchro disciplines. Pilots execute a pre-
planned series of manoeuvres either on their
own or with a partner before landing on a raft
below. One of the most spectacular tricks is
the Infinite Tumble, pictured.
MIND READERS
Théo de Blic, left, and Horacio Llorens work
things out before their run. They won gold in
Synchro.
SMOKE ON
To be a good Synchro team you need to be in
tune with each other, and practise a lot. Both
de Blic and Llorens fly more that 500 hours a
year.
