About Me
Hello, I’m Mike Kremer.
I first came into contact with paragliding in my youth through my uncle. Until around 2013, I was actively flying Acro. In 2013, I became a team pilot for AirDesign and began supporting the development of new gliders as a test pilot alongside my regular job at the time. In 2015, I completed my training as a certified EN 926-2 test pilot at the certification center in Switzerland. Since 2016, I have been working full-time in the development of paragliders and equipment across all performance classes. During this time, I have been involved in projects from the initial idea through prototyping, shock and load tests, all the way to the final production model: testing, trimming, modifying, adjusting, and repairing. Many of you may know me as the test pilot for AirDesign, from testivals, from take-offs, or from Instagram. Maybe even as the guy who repaired a paraglider during the Red Bull X-Alps, right in the middle of the race.
The Goal
My New Mission
Whether it’s a torn panel, damaged lines, or harness adjustments – you’re in the right place at our workshop. With many years of experience in the development of gliders, harnesses, and reserve systems, from the first prototype to the final certification flight, I know exactly which details matter. I’ve had the privilege of supporting X-Alps teams, World Cup pilots, and dedicated XC pilots in reaching their goals – including teams AUT3, GER3, ITA4, and SVK1. Today, I want to share this knowledge: with beginners who want to better understand their glider, and with professionals aiming to get the most out of their setup.
