Martin Kjellman Swedish acro champ
Martin Kjellman Tumbling to victory in Are, Sweden
On 6 July 2008 Martin Kjellman left the Downteam Challenge in Ã…re, Sweden, his country’s new acro champion. He was flying an Ozone 6907. The Open class was won by Norwegian Kjartan Andvik, on his U-turn G-force.
Four tasks were topped off by a Syncro Expression session, during which Martin and team pilot Filip Haraldsson got their 6907s a little too entwined, and had to throw their reserves… Both pilots were unharmed, but Martin’s glider was ripped in two.
