Cross Country Paragliding Manual<\/h3>\n<\/div>

This is the Spanish edition of Mads Syndergaard's book on paragliding competition. Besides being full of advice and insights on competition and its techniques, it includes a historical overview of the first 25 years of competition, from the first international championship in 1988 to 2013.
\nI have added photos from the Parapente magazine archive and the photo bank of Martin Scheel and other pilots to the book, as well as comments and specific details about some of the competitions it describes.
\nWe promised this book to all subscribers of Parapente magazine with the release of issue 100, we regret the delay, I needed this confinement to be able to finish it.
\nAnd given the situation, we're taking this opportunity to share it for free with all the confined flyers.
\nTherefore, you can download the book in which you will find:
\n\u2013 Preparations before your first competition
\n\u2013 Technical and electronic skills
\n\u2013 Types of sleeves, tactics and tips
\n\u2013 General competition strategies
\n\u2013 Mental aspects or how to become a winner
\n\u2013 Seeking sponsorships
\n\u2013 Also: The first history of international competitive paragliding.<\/p>\n<\/div>
