Team Parajet pilot Dean Eldridge put in a superb performance to finish third in this weekend鈥檚 Parabatix event at the Coupe Icare festival in St Hilaire. Six of the world鈥檚 best freestyle paramotor pilots battled it out to walk away with the coveted Icarobatix trophy.

Despite some tough competition Dean started the weekend in dominant fashion, taking the honours in the Octopus and Ring events. By the end of day one Dean had topped the leaderboard just 19 seconds ahead of second placed Alex Mateus.

As day two unfolded the Sky Racers battled hard from start to finish providing some close-fought, ground skimming aerial action with Dean eventually finishing third and Spaniard Paco Guerra taking the title; a great result for the new Paramania Action GTR wing flown by both pilots.
