How long have you been flying?
I started flying in 2012.
What fascinates you most about Hike&Fly races?
What fascinates me about Hike&Fly races is the combination of the mental and physical challenge.
Which flight moment stands out the most in your memory?
During the Red Bull X-Alps 2021, there were many highlights, but what stands out the most is how I crossed the Mont Blanc massif just 5 meters above the ground, securing my 3rd place.
Why do you fly for skywalk?
I fly skywalk because I really appreciate the products, especially for Hike&Fly races, and because the whole team lives and breathes paragliding, with a strong drive for innovation in this sport.
