Aspect ratio 6.4. 69 cells. Shark nose. 3-line technology. The specs and silhouette of our brand new sport class glider don’t need any further explanation. Its purpose is clear when you see it. This super slender wing is at home in any of the world’s top XC arenas.

​@SALEWA x skywalk athlete Markus Anders is a second time competitor at this years @Red Bull X-Alps and knows it can happen that you have to land somewhere super remote - far away from your supporter team.

Markus is an expert in vol-bivouac adventures as he practiced it many times - at his INDIA expedition for example.

„You can plan the day, but not where it will end. Vol-biv is the true synthesis of adventure flying“ - Markus says.

Every competition requires preparation. The tougher the competition, the harder the training. For skywalk x @SALEWA x @Suunto athlete Paul Guschlbauer (@Paul Guschlbauer ) it is even more delicate, as training time has to be in balance with his family life. To prepare for @Red Bull X-Alps Paul likes to involve his favorite activities in his training such as bike rides to improve endurance, trailrunning to enhance balance, and of course a lot of hiking and flying.

The right nutrition is of course crucial for the performance as well, as the athletes need to replenish the calories spent in the race in a fast and efficient way.

Because after all that‘s how you make sure to be the best version of yourself: by staying fit, eating healthy and sleeping well!

paragliding might seem a sport for loners. But it is definitely not: It‘s impossible to imagine competing the @Red Bull X-Alps without the right team.

„It‘s like compressing one year of flying in two weeks.“ — says skywalk x @SALEWA athlete Simon Oberrauner.

The team is the most important component: without logistics, planning food, water, and support the Red Bull X-Alps couldn‘t happen.

The CUMEO is our lightweight interpretation of the CHILI concept. Our glider for performance-driven XC pilots, who prefer to set their turning points off the beaten path, is so light that you won’t need a cable car when your big day comes. The lightweight materials of Porcher Marine are applied to reduce weight only in areas not felt by the XC pilot. That is why the CUMEO is just as solid in the air as its “heavy” brother and has the same balanced characteristics. You’ll feel the difference – in the backpack on the way to launch or in the baggage net of the train on the long way back from your epic flight.

Thomas Friedrich is certainly not new to the sky as his father founded a paragliding school where he learned how to fly at the age of 11.

However, competing in the toughest adventure race of the world, the @Red Bull X-Alps , for the first time is surely nerve-jangling - No matter how experienced you are. That‘s why Tommy‘s plan is to split the different chapters of the race into smaller steps and focus on the present, rather than looking at the race as one big bite.

„It‘s really important to find the right balance between pushing yourself, but not overdoing it.“ - „To try and keep a clear mind to make the right decisions, but also to enjoy what you are doing!“ - The young @SALEWA x skywalk athlete says.
