The Groundhandling Challenge was launched in 2017 by Portuguese paragliding pilot André Bandarra, who wanted to make groundhandling more approachable, rewarding, and fun. He designed a series of progressive exercises to help pilots build skills step by step. Over time, pilots around the world have embraced the challenge through André’s website, YouTube videos, and in-person retreats.
Inspired by André’s vision, German paragliding pilot Michael Schmidt‑Voigt joined the adventure and developed this companion app that makes it easier and more enjoyable to advance through the exercises while practicing out on the field.
