Honza Rejmanek will be representing the USA beginning July 17th at the Red Bull X-ALPS
500 Mile Hike & Fly Competition!

The X-Alps is the worlds toughest and longest hike and paraglide endurance race covering over 500 miles of mountainous terrain. It lasts for over two weeks. (17 days in 2007).

The rules are simple: Fly or hike carrying your glider around set turn points all the way across the Alps to Monaco! The whole event can be tracked live at www.redbullxalps.com.

It is the premier spectator event for paraglider pilots in the world. If you weren’t “tuned in” last race(2007), you will be this year.

Honza came from behind to do very well at the last X-Alps 2007. He has been training full time ever since. Not only is Honza one of the finest XC pilots around, he is a graduate student of meteorology. Honza has been intensely training for this event and also fund raising for the US team’s 2009 mission. Raffle tickets supporting the 2009 US X-Alps team are available for purchase on line at www.honzair.com. Raffle takes place during the event with the winners posted on line at the USA team blog daily.
