In 1981, Johannes Schwarz “Blacky” was born in Upper Austria. His father took him a few times to a nice slope in “Micheldorf” where he got the first impressions of this beautiful sport.When he was 16, he started at a flightschool making his first experinces. At this time he knew that this will become a very big part in his life. With his friends he collected a lot of experince in thermal and distance flying and got in contact with competition flying.

3 Years he was part of the scene and met a lot of great people. Because of his job, he could not continue anymore with competing and focused more on free flying. The possibility of flying and testing different hanggliders offered a lot of experience. This was the countdown for acrobatic flying. Since 8 years he is a aerobatic pilot.
