I was always close to near-nature extreme sports. After 4 years of caving and mountain climbing on the autumn of 2001 my attention turned to paragliding. During the basic course I already knew, it is not only another, new hobby but much more. Flying became quickly a passion and soon after turned to be a real lifestyle. As my airtime was growing I felt I need something more than most of the pilots and in 2003 I started to practice the very basics of acro flying. At this time I met with Gábor Kézi and we started to learn together, self-educated, since there were no other acro pilots in Hungary at that time. In 2005 we participated in our first international acro competitions that gave us huge impulse and motivation to continue in this direction. In the meantime I become a tandem pilot and flight instructor.

From my enthusiasm for free flying borned the idea of justACRO.com portal that I started in May of 2006 after one year long preparation and soon it became the biggest, informative website of aerobatics paragliding. Since then I am editing and updating the portal with the latest news of the acro world.

In 2006 after lot of training I could stand up at the podium both in solo and synchro categories and during the 2007 season we could catch up with the best pilots in the world, that exceeded even our bravest expectations...

I will continue competing in the World Cup series but we also put a lot of effort to explore new events and entertain people with our spectacular shows worldwide.
