Matt Bickerdyke represents Ireland at Acro World Championships

Matt Bickerdyke recently competed in Red Bull Vertigo 2006 - the 1st FAI World Hang Gliding and Paragliding Aerobatic Championship, in Villeneuve, Switzerland. He cleared the qualifiers with ease and finished a respectable 36th.

Our esteemed Chairman, Dara Hogan, said "In my view, to have an Irishman ranked 36th in the world in acro paragliding is a fine result and one of which Matt should be rightly proud."
