A living community
Share your adventures with people who get it and learn from others in an active community — whether you are new or a pro.
Learn by analysing

Sidekik [ˈsaɪd.kɪk]
“Sidekick” is another word for “wingman”. It reflects the platform’s role as a trusted companion. Sidekik is there to support, motivate and guide you on your paragliding adventures.
Everything has a beginning
The idea started at the landing field in the Stubai Valley. Members of the “Stubaier Jochdohlen” were buzzing about a peak-collecting adventure they had just flown — bad decisions, close calls, summit wins. We brought the format to “Parateam Virgen” and immediately saw that this kind of challenge does not only excite XC specialists: it includes every experience level. It is a great long-term challenge and a huge opportunity to grow as a pilot.
Inspired by that energy, I set out with Sidekik to make the format available to more pilots. Sidekik should motivate you to explore new areas, give you goosebumps when you soar new peaks, occasionally push you out of your comfort zone, and let you share those adventures with friends — to learn and to have fun.
