Oh guys, what a battle this is," shouts Cross Country pilot Anne Jan Roeleveld during his flight, desperately searching for thermals. His paragliding flight above Frutigen (Switzerland) seems to be failing. The thermal air currents don't seem to be kicking in yet. Will he make it, the planned triangle to Adelboden, Kandersteg, and back to Frutigen? It's a real battle in the air for altitude.
During this special flight, we were allowed to equip Anne-Jan with cameras and sound. This Dutch top XC pilot (according to XC Contest) shares his secret tips and tricks with us. How do you gain altitude and when do you cross? Follow him closely as he flies his FAI triangle.
