Arizona Flying Circus 2009 Powered Paragliding Event

It was another great event with lots and lots of powered paragliding for all who attended. There were many greats of the sport in attendance from the paragliding and paramotor community in the U.S. as well as Canada and Czech Republic. It's really nice to see everyone come together for a common passion in a one of a kind setting.

I hate to hear that Adam it would have been great to have had you here. I think you are definitely an asset to our sport.

Thanks John, wish the best for your event this year. Long live the Beach Blast! (Because I want to attend next year!)

Great camera work, how do you get such still in flight video? I am just a newbie, but hear lots of good things about the flying circus. Hopefully I can make it out next year if it happens again.

Lot's and lots of practice! I wouldn't recommend anyone start helmet camera flying until they are an advanced pilot. It is way too easy to become distracted and you've got to have keen situational awareness and top notch flying skills. Getting still shots is a challenge, smooth conditions are best. Flying with experienced pilots in neat locations also makes it interesting. But getting somewhat still shots is hard, practice, practice, practice.

John, I'm bummed I can't make it to your Beach Blast this year. Thanks for attending the Circus and keep working with the camera, it takes lots of time and expierence with it to get the cool shots for what we do. Helmet cam is an art and it takes a bit of ingenuity, practice, the right conditions and pilots to pull something off that is kind of cool to watch.

The Nirvana guys are lots of fun to hang with and they have a great team. Their products are pretty cool too. Yes, Pavel was hauling some ass most every second of flyable weather. He often was the only one in the air.
