No flying today - 28th August 2005 - View the entire paragliding news archive
It's Emma's birthday today so there is no possibility of flying today. Instead I thought I would share the results of some of my web surfing

I stumbled across this website (it was one of the google ads on Andre's PPO website.

Anyway there are some really cool video clips of miltary uses of parachutes and paragliders, as well as some skydiving footage.

Civilian/Recreational videos

Their military videos

Or read about their revolutionary new textile that is....wait for it:-

300% stronger
600% less stretchable
68% lighter

than conventional rip stop nylon

that is also:-

100% non porous
mildew proof
UV proof


Sound too good to be true?
That's what I thought. Surely this has to be made available to the comp pilots, or those needing ultra lightweight kit for bivouac paragliding. Maybe someone out there with more cash than me can bring this to the paragliding public at an affordable price.
