Acromania - For descriptions of aerobatic tricks on a paraglider, including the horseshoe, full stall, spin, tail slide, wing-over, SAT, ground spiral, loop/inversion, twister and tumble!

Acromania disclaimer: The explanations of the tricks I describe are my perception of how to do these tricks. I could be wrong! I take absolutely no responsibility whatsoever if anything goes wrong if you try these tricks. If you do want to try it, only try when you have at least 500 meters over water! Also make sure there's a boat ready to get you out of the water when shit hits the fan. Don't try these manoeuvres over land, ever. Also, never do these tricks without supervision of someone who controls the manoeuvres you're going to try. Have radio contact, etc. etc. In short: be responsible! But DO have FUN!
