Winter Slalom Training
Posted on November 27, 2013 in Phil Jennings
Having not flown much for the last month due to catching up on all the unfinished jobs at home, it was great when some of the guys decided to organise a mid-week slalom training session. Even more exciting for me as I had a brand new wing to fly.
After the success in the hands of the Polish team I have got the latest 16m Dudek Snake slalom wing. So combined with my Parajet Zenith Thor 200 I knew it was capable of great things.
After a lots of sedate runs getting used to the differences it was time for breakfast! So we just hedge hopped to the local farm shop and landed for a fry up. The afternoon allowed for more practice and each time pushing a little harder and the times kept dropping. By sunset I was worn out so glad of my lift back home and a rest!
Unfortunately the first British slalom competition is in two weeks time and I’m not able to make it….but more of that to come. All I can say its going to be and amazing week in a totally different continent.
