"The Sky Paragliders ANAKIS 2 is the successor of the first generation and ever popular entry level EN-B gli. The goal was not to increase the speed, improve the glide ratio, we did not push the R&D team and test pilots for faster glider to improve the technical date sheet. The improvements of ANAKIS 2 lie in the improved efficiency, homogeneity, complexity and pleasure which pilots experience when ANAKIS 2 glides gently into the turbulent air, nicely and comfortably turns and cores the thermals. No need to mention that the handling remained excellent and still very unique and typical for SKY gliders. We wanted either the wing to allow the pilot to move forward and improve her/his skills or to understand better the air mass to avoid stress and have fun in during occasional flights."

We'll be adding this glider to our product list when it becomes available (shouldnt me long).

Paramotor comparison Paramania Fusion vs Ozone Speedster vs Antea 2 from Sky Paragliders. Powered paragliding review side by side test. In this comparison the Antea 2 from Sky Paragliders blazed on by the Paramania Fusion and was a bit faster than the Ozone Speedster. Numerous deaths have occured on "reflex" gliders as they are known and because of piles of money spent in marketing on these uncertified wings most people don't know what they are really getting compared to other wings as they don't have much data to go on. All 3 gliders in this comparison are EN-C certified at trim speed and marketed as EN-C gliders. The Paramania Fusion and Ozone Speedster though which are called "reflex" wings cannot pass any level of certification in "reflex" mode. Most people don't realize the huge loss of safety by flying these uncertified wings and even fewer realize they can get a fully certified wing like the Antea 2 which can indeed be fully accelerated in it's certified configuration and since it also out performs the less safe wings it makes no sense at all to sacrifice safety. This is no small difference. When a reflex glider collapses the results are so violent that numerous people have died. Even one safety test pilot trying to conduct very basic safety tests in a controlled enviroment died after the Dudek Nucleon glider collapse and went into such a violent spin that the pilot loss conscieness. Any certified glider would have almost for sure recovered on its own but "reflex" gliders are our worst nightmare because they CAN'T pass any of those life saving certifications. So the pilot died after the glider never recovered. What's worse that is often when they collapse the pilot has zero control to either prevent the collapse or help the glider recover where a good certified glider keeps the pilot in full control and even in a collapse the pilot often has full control with which to drastically improve the outcome of the scenario. Now if people realized that certified gliders often have much better performance as well like you see in this video it would be an easy choice to stay away from the uncertified "reflex" wings.



Sadly the pilot flying the Paramania Fusion in this very video only days later took a collapse, the glider reacted exactly like you see in the video and he tumbled all the way to the ground and hit upside down and was unconscious for an hour and forty five minutes. It is miracle he lived to tell the tale. He reportedly ordered 3 certified gliders immediately following that incident.

U-Turn has just officially release the details on its new high performance glider called the Passion.  The Passion is an ENC rated wing with the efficiency of a Comp glider.  We are the exclusive dealer for U-Turn Paraglider in the USA in cooperation with U-TurnUSA.com  Pal Takats just set the Chilean Paragliding Distance record on the Passion!  He flew over 300kms.  Check out the U-Turn Passion Product page here.

If you're thinking its too cold to fly in the winter, think again.  Winter flying is just as fun if not more than summer flying!   The air is crisp and usually very smooth.   The snow is soft and begs for your feet to drag through it as you swoop past the white powder.   Paramotor Flying over snow covered earth is unbelievably beautiful and with the right gear is tons of fun!   Dress warm and get out there, flying doesnt stop because it's cold!  Just in case you need more motiviation, check out the winter paramotor flying videos below.

The U-Turn Reflaction is the first ‘reflex’ glider Dell has ever tested that he has absolutely fallen in love with. It is highly efficient, fast and allows pilots to maintain full active flying control through out the trim range. Even with a huge 28m above his head, dell easily passed fellow Flat Top Team Pilot Shane Denherder who was overloaded on a 22m Antea 2! The Antea 2 is a fast glider, Dell just walked by it like it was nothing. We will have more videos to come on this new glider and plan on testing smaller sizes in the near future. U-Turn has a smaler size- a 26 and may be making an even smaller one- 22m.

If you’re an advanced pilot, this may be your next wing.  Give us a call to find out more.  We will have more up on the website very soon!

Here are all of the videos we’ve put together in cooperation with our friends @ U-Turn USA and Extreme PPG. We hope you enjoy!
