The Acro World Tour 2018 continues with the 3^rd qualification stage being held August 11-15th in Italy’s AcroMax festival.

In the two previous stages - Norway’s ‘Vertigo Voss’ and the Italian ‘King of Brenta’ - international aerobatic paragliders took to the skies to show their incredible technical skills and impress the judges.

Seven pilots have already gained places to compete in the final of the Acro World Tour, to be held at the Sonchaux Airshow in Villeneuve (SUI) at the end of August.

Huge crowds gathered along the shore of Lake Molveno, Italy, this weekend, to witness the incredible acro stunts performed by the elite paragliders battling in the skies to win the second stage of the Acro World Tour 2018.

It was Théo de Blic (FRA) who managed to impress judges the most with his jaw-dropping performance, beating Chile’s Victor Carrera and fellow Frenchman François Ragolski to be crowned King of Brenta 2018.

Against the backdrop of the dramatic Dolomite mountains and the crystal-clear waters of Lake Molveno, aerobatic paragliders from all over the world will battle in the skies to be crowned ‘King of Brenta’ at the Acro World Tour’s 2^nd stage, being held from 18-22 July 2018.

At this stage of the Acro World Tour 2018 competition, around 30 riders from 10 nations will perform aerobatic manoeuvres then attempt to make the most spectacular landing they can onto a floating platform in the lake.
