Worldpremier with Tandemparaglider (www.u-turn.de) A special dream was fullfilled by Pal Takats with his co-pilot Gabor Kezi today: As the first Tandem-Duo in the world, they attempt a real looping with their 31 qm bi-place-parachute in Walensee (Lake of Walen) in Switzerland. Lake of Walen, Switzerland: The adventure started high in the mountains in approx. 1800 m of altidude, where the fields where green and the surrounding amazing. After take off they were able to do 45 real loopings in a row, flighing straight of the parachute. With that first premier, the test pilots from U-Turn showed, what Aerodynamics never expected, real loopings with parachutes are possible, not only with hard wings. „Of course, the borders of physics are set, but where excatly we still have to find out," says Ernst Strobl, Chef-Developer of U-turn. With a modified Acro-Parachute, Takats, one of the world bests acro-pilots, already did various loopings, called Infinity Tumblings. Since today, also in the double - with Gabor Kezi. It was really tough. „Due to longer lines, the way to pass for both pilots was even longer each looping." Takats explanis. For us it was about 6 G. For the parachute it was even more, up to 12 G, which is a real challange for the material. Pál "Pákkó" Takáts (25 years) started paragliding in 2001. Since 2003 he is interested in Acro-flying and this is also where he met his future team partner Gábor „Gäbbi" Kezi (28). Because there is was Acro-flying scene in Hungary at this time, both of them learned the tricks autodidactic. As early as 2007 Pál went all the way with winning the World Cup, and also leading the World Ranking and being crowned Synchro Vice-World Champion. He took third place at the World Games 2009 and became Pilot of the Year in 2006 and 2007 in Hungary. At the Red Bull X-Alps, the scene's hardest race, he landed 8th place in 2009. His co-pilot Gábor became 4th at the World Championships in 2006 and 2nd at the Synchro-World Cup in 2008.

a nice run on the Gerlitzen 2010
