As 2022 comes to an end we recap our season.
Well, what can we say as usual 2022 was a wild ride.
The weather was tricky but also provided for some very beautiful views and a start of the season which looked almost magical
After many years of flying and teaching experience, Nikolay Yotov decided to share all his knowledge of Cross Country flying in one of the most detailed books about cross country paragliding, flying tactics and flight optimizations.
Nikis book "Cross Country Paragliding" is available for download HERE and it is translated in Bulgarian as well.
The book is free for download but you can support the author with a donation.
The active season is making place for the winter months but despite the crazy world we have been living in, this year was still full of flying, new frinds and new and old horizons to fly to.
... we added more flying friends to our flock. Both beginners courses were filled up with new faces from all around the world, united in the desire to fly.
Our students from France, USA, Bulgaria, UK, Germany, Holland, Belgium and Sweden made June very colorfull and fun for everyone and of course full of flying!
In the fist week of May, Skynomad along with the Bulgarian National Aero Club and the Bulgarian Paragliding Commision organized the fist competition for the season.
"PG spring XC meeting".
The friendlty competition had the aim to bring together bulgarian and foreign pilots for a warm-up session of competition tasks arround the Sopot valley.
The competition was succcesfull despite the complexety of the weather conditions.
April came with stable and reliable weather. Mild temperatures and light wind conditions made it possible to our 2 groups of beginners to succesfully finish their courses and join the flock of the new paragliding pilots for the month.
On 1-st of March along with the Bulgarian celebration of "Baba Marta" came the time of the first beginners courses for the season.
March came ith the typical weather style of a womens mood (in Bulgaria March is called the women month due to the drastic swings in the weather :) , the first beginners course started with windy conditions which later in the week turned into perfect flyable weather for beginners training.
Dear friends,

However many of you know that the only stronger virus than the corona virus is the flying virus - a "sickness" that yet has to be cured!
Skynomad would like to inform all our friends that our activities are running uninterupted !
February brought more adventures for Niki Yotov and Hristo Petsanov in the wild beauty of Ethiopia.
Niki, Hristo and Yassen Savov set on an adventure to try new flying places and beat some height records.:
Here are some short stories from Niki and Hristo:
As the end of 2019 was getting near and the weather outside was getting progressively unflyable Niki decided to reminese the best moments of the year in a nice slideshow of his adventures.
And as Niki was getting ready to embark on his annual adventure to Africa, Ivelin Kalushkov was setting new bulgarian gliding records in Australia yet again:
November settled in but the winter was nowhere near!
As the warm weather continued we focused on using the conditions to the maximum.
Ivelin practiced some Skydiving drop-oofs with some good friends before setting to another adventure in Australia.
