Description

The SRS Podcast returns, and this time we're deep in the heart of the Italian Alps. Episode 2 takes you inside the SRS Skywalk Edition in Bassano del Grappa — the highest WPRS-scoring event in the entire history of the Sports-class Racing Series, drawing 130 pilots from 33 nations to one of paragliding's most iconic venues. We sit down with three of the biggest names in the SRS: series standouts Luke Nicol, Pal Takats, and Serge Durrant. Together they break down what it really takes to compete — and win — at this level. With Andreas Malecki, we touch on reading the infamous Bassano valley crossings to managing risk across five demanding tasks in the Veneto-Friuli foothills. But this episode isn't just about the racing. We dig into the gear question every SRS pilot is asking: what glider and setup gives you the edge, and how do you squeeze every point out of a sports-class wing when the competition is this stacked? Our guests hold nothing back. Whether you're chasing your first SRS start gate or eyeing the overall series title, this episode is your insider's guide to the sharpest end of sports-class racing.
