Competitions

The competitions in Paragliding/Hanggliding during Ekstremsportveko 2012 are Acro competition, ¨Capure the Flag¨, Precision landing and X-pression session.

Acro Competition
This competition aims to push the pilots' skills as far as possible. You are welcome to watch the spectacular manoeuvres that expose the pilots to G forces up to 7G at Prestegardslandet! The athletes get points on the basis of how clear and well executed the manoeuvres are. Points are lost if they land in the lake!

Capture the flag
Distance, speed and audacity are the main keys in this competition. Flags will be placed in and around the mountains of Voss. The pilots get information about the name of the mountains and the GPS coordinates of the location of the flags. All the flags have different grades of points as the distance and difficultness varies. The first pilot who captures the flag gets points. The pilot who has gathered most points wins.

Precision Landing
The athletes have to land on a small platform on land and floating on Vangsvatnet.

Expression Session
This is a freestyle paragliding show at Prestegardslandet, where the pilots launch off a helicopter. The spectators judge the winner.
