It's common saying that every coin has two sides, and the ongoing safety debate has had us looking for answers in every direction.

Because It's a well known fact that when camaraderie thrives, we all thrive.đSoaring High Resources: Elevate Your Aerial Pursuitsđ„ Stalk the Star: â â Instagram | Ozone PageThe content I can't stop braggin about đ â Instagramđ€Connect With Me â â â â â Facebookâ â â â â | â â â â â Telegramâ â â â â | WhatsAppđ Email your AMA questions: â â â â aninder@paraglidlingatlas.comâ â â â đ„ Cinematic Brilliance Showcasing The Art Of Flight: â â â â Paragliding Atlas YouTube Channelâ â â â đŠ

Time and again we as pilots have often debated on weather size really matters or not, and if racing at elite levels can actually be classified as fair play or not considering significant performance advantages that come with flying bigger sized gliders, Bruce has long been an advocate of weightless competition format which negates this issue upto an extent. In this episode we explore this notion in depth and also the scientific explanations behind it. đSoaring High Resources: Elevate Your Aerial PursuitsExplanation of MRT and It's Ecosystem : Google Driveđ„ Stalk the Star: â â InstagramOfficial Website : BGD ParaglidersThe content I can't stop braggin about đ â Instagramđ€Connect With Me â â â â â Facebookâ â â â â | â â â â â Telegramâ â â â â | WhatsAppđ Email your AMA questions: â â â â aninder@paraglidlingatlas.comâ â â â đ„ Cinematic Brilliance Showcasing The Art Of Flight: â â â â Paragliding Atlas YouTube Channelâ â â â đŠ
