Join Till Middelhauve, Michael Werner and Eric Behr as they embark on a border crossing-adventure of eastern Europe on 'Flykes'… flying bicycles!
The Flyke is a hybrid of a push-bike and a paramotor, and can be pedalled engine-off, motored propeller-on, and, of course, flown.
Over 15 days the trio fly, pedal and motor the 1632 km from Hanover to the Black Sea. Travel with them as they breeze down leafy lanes, cycle across summer meadows, fly over wondrous cloudscapes, push through deep valleys under orographic mist and propel themselves, motors on, down bustling highways, dwarfed by articulated trucks.
It's an eyebrow-raising, hilarious adventure that crosses boundaries and leaves bystanders astonished. With the Flyke, the journey never ends - you touch down, fold your wing, and cycle on!
This 25 minute film tells the story of Acrofolies, the acro festival organised by David Eyraud and won by Raul Rodriguez. Stunning footage of all the latest manouvres, including the Infinite Tumble as seen in Cross Country's issue 101, is complemented by a sound explanation of the contest format and pilot interviews.
Filmmaker Sean White (Never Ending Thermal) described it as 'capturing the excitement of an acro competition like no other film I've seen'.
This film is in French language with English subtitles.
Bonuses include a heart-pumping short film on pilots flying free-fall parachutes at 30 mph down ski slopes. Awesome!
