At St. Hillaire our friend Jean Baptiste Chandelier received two film prizes, both for his recent Light Line, a movie where you can see the Mach 1.0 wing. Precisely speaking, you will be able to see it soon, as the movie is not accessible so far.

We’ve just returned from a fun weekend at the Coupe Icare, where the Ozone team stayed busy inflating well over 6,000 balloons for our stand and the public. The balloons were all 100% biodegradable (they totally degrade in about 2 weeks of normal climate exposure) so if you were worried about that, fear not, we thought of it too Thanks to those of you who came to visit us at our stand, and we hope to meet many more of you there in the future!
While at the event, we presented our new wings for the rest of 2012 and for the 2013 season. A brief summary of them follows below. Please do not contact us for more info at this time, as we cannot say any more than this – thanks for your understanding!
Coming very soon:
Slalom – This new PPG wing is available for order now. It is our answer for pilots who want to carve the tightest turns at the highest speeds, on or off the race course.
The XXLite – This revolutionary single surface wing has been talked about for over a year, and is now finally going into production. It will be available for order later this week in the 16m and 19m sizes, weighing in at about 1.37kg and 1.2kg, respectively. More info will be available on the XXLite product page shortly.
The Trickster – We’ve released some photos and video of this exciting new acro wing recently and we’re very happy to announce that it will be available to order this week. This wing is for advanced acro pilots. The Trickster is a totally new design and initial reports have confirmed that it is vastly easier to execute all of the most advanced acro maneuvers than any wing we have designed to date, and will

Jimmy Huang (flying his EnZo) and Dean Stratton (flying his R11) have broken the California distance record, flying 270km along the Eastern Sierra and into Nevada through some truly wild terrain. The American West has massive potential for big XC flying, and although the Owens Valley has been a famous XC destination for several decades, […]

The final leg of Slalomania 2012 took place last weekend in Aspres sur Buech, France. Once again it was a game of milliseconds played by the new generation of PPG pylon racers, who are now training specifically for PPG Slalom, the fastest growing aspect of PPG competition.
Alex Mateos remains the undefeated champion of the discipline flying his Viper 2 18m, with Mathieu Rouanet following closely (well, not too closely) behind with his Speedster 19.
Alex’s style is unique and clearly a level above everyone else on the scene. Mathieu’s result confirms that his low aspect ratio wing, the Speedster 19, is totally capable of surpassing the performance of  “higher level” wings in agility and speed. Mathieu reported that the 19m Speedster feels comparatively easy and is a highly accessible wing, suitable for a wide range of pilots.
The overall Slalomania Results for 2012 are 100% Ozone, congrats guys! Thanks so much for flying Ozone.

The overall Slalomania France 2012 results can be seen here.
Cheers from all the Team!
