2008 paragliding world cup & xcontest

The 2008 World Cup came to a close in Castelo, Brazil with that now familiar sight of a Swiss Advance team pilot standing on the top step of the podium. With triple champion, Chrigel Maurer, stepping out of the contest to concentrate on family, work and acro, it was the turn of double Swiss champion Andi Aebi to take the laurels. Behind him lay France’s Jean Marc Caron and fellow Swiss Advance pilot Stefan Schmoker.

XCONTEST

The online XC league, XContest.org reached its climax at the end of September. Brazilian Rafael Saladini, one of the three amigos that smashed the PG world open distance record almost a year ago, held his lead to win ahead of Lithuanian star Martin Bühler and Switzerland’s Chrigel Maurer. Vice-European champion, Tom Weissenberger of Austria, won the hang gliding league.
The 2009 league is now open. Remember every issue Cross Country gives away three random prizes to pilots who’ve entered flights in XContest.org.
