Mark Janaway

slovenia

Mark started flying at just three years old, with his father in Bassano. They flew tandem together for quite a few years before he got his first glider, a Seed. He spent 6 years groundhandling before he getting his first flying wing and going to a paragliding school! He says he learned with one of the best instructors there is, and quickly levelled up his skills. His first short XC was on the BGD Magic. Not long after that then stepped up to his next glider, the BGD Epic 2. On his first flight with it he got a personal best flight of 53 km and it just kept getting better! By the age of 15 he had already set three world records on that glider! His goals for the future are to start flying in some high level comps and eventually fly in the PWC. Outside the sport he enjoys spending time in the mountains. He loves riding downhill on the local tracks he builds with friends. During the winter he does a lot of skiing
