Today, Ojovolador is one of the most visited websites about paragliding in the World Wide Web, with an average of more than 2500 visits a day –more than 1000 since June 2004 (according to our server statistics)- and +3500 subscribers to our Newsletter by email. What makes our site unique is the experience and knowledge behind our vast collection of specialized articles: we have degrees in journalism, communication and graphic design and many years of work in these fields related to paragliding; more than 10 years of experience as pilots; experience as collaborators for paragliding magazines; and good results in paragliding and paramotor international competitions. This background allows us to offer reliable information treated professionally.
In these almost 5 years, Ojovolador has become a true independent online magazine giving updated information, fresh news and live reports about the most interesting successes of the international paragliding community; all this available in Spanish and English (also accessible at www.theflyingeye.com). We really enjoy to see that we have built a media capable of connecting people that are so different and from such distant places as Argentina or Iran, but who have something very special in common, which is the passion for flying.
2006 saw the consolidation of Ojovolador.com as ‘The’ number 1 paragliding and paramotor media of the Spanish spoken world. About a 50% of all our visits come from Spain and the USA; most of the pilots from these and Latin American countries –including Brazil- are frequent visitors of Ojovolador.com, and our online-mag is their main reference for the sports, above any printed magazine. Our English site is growing at a very good rhythm too in terms of visits and hits, and this will be reinforced with even more contents and a new dedicated section for Paramotor, coming soon.
Claudia Riequelme
Chilean professional journalist, her desire for knowing new places and experiences has led her to travel thousands of world km., through 4 continents, dragging behind her paraglider or just a small backpack. While in her home country, she developed her career in TV news and production, and institutional journalism (PR). Claudia started flying in 1995 and though she never found competition appealing, in 1997 she decided to move to Iquique (northern Chile) one of the best sites for free-flying in the world, where she lived for 3 years. In 2000, Claudia decided to move again, this time to Spain, where she originally planned to develop post-degree studies in Literature. Soon after, however, she got involved in journalistic work for PG specialized media, which allowed her to combine her profession with her favorite sport, paragliding, and also with her other passion: travelling. She is still settled in Spain, where she parts her time among writing, doing translations English - Spanish for some PG companies, preparing some audiovisual projects in OjoVolador, and flying. She is in charge of the Communication department of OjoVolador
Daniel Crespo
Born in Venezuela and living in Spain since 1994, Daniel studied Graphic Design with specialization in Design for Television. His career in a renowned TV company in Caracas was suddenly interrupted by the discovery of paragliding in 1993, when he decided to dedicate his time and effort to professional paragliding. Soon after, he was ranked one of the Top world pilots, and in 1998 he founded the Safety ACRO Team with other PG pilots interested in aerobatics. With the SAT Team, Daniel directed 3 successful Acro videos: "The Manoeuvre", "The New Era Voyage" and "SAT Republic". From his passion for free-flight, Daniel has directed his artistic skills to the flying world, designing posters, T-shirts and logos for various championships, events and companies related to this sport. He has also been a collaborator for different specialized media, like 'Cross-Country Mag', 'Parapente-Vuelo Libre' magazine or web-based magazine "Aventurarse.com". At present, he is dedicated to audiovisual design and communication through OjoVolador, and flies every time he has the chance.
