What's this "also canceled"? why were these EST events canceled? Was it due to local DZ scheduling conflicts? Sure would be nice to know that $1200 spent on tickets to Kolomna was not wasted due to some last minute changes in the global EST schedules

AFAIK:
Voss: organiser problems.
Empuria: sponsor problems.
Leipzig: no idea.

None of these were cancelled "last minute" though.

Couldn't help myself here Henny, the right name is 'Bad Lippspringe' (Germany)
If people don't know it I've attached a .kmz file from Google earth showing the ditch. It's looking good ;)

Hi fellow swoopers!

Bjørn Magne told me to write in an apology for the confusion. As Henny writes, the EST at Voss will go as planed on the golf course with EST rules(Distance, Speed Carv and Zone Accuracy)

We had some organizing problems, but it is now solved with Bjørn Magne taking responsibility for the hole event. It will be very good!!!

Be there and compete for the prize money!

Best regards

Hey Mikey!

We have unofficial nationals 21st of July. It's invitational but if you're around I'm sure you can come and "practice", like you didn't know how to swoop :P This is Hanko, the southernmost city of Finland, seafront.

Hope to see you in Bussloo again also...

Greetings from Finland, Jan

Michael,
Hopefully there'll be two consecutive competitions in Sweden. 28th of july in Haninge (Stockholm suburb) and 4th of august (Nyköping, 1.5 hrs drive from Stockholm, or direct flight with RyanAir).

It'll probably be depending on if enough competitors will register though.

No money, no speed event, just fun...
Hope to see you (and others) there!

Nice job in Russia Michael! You were the only foreign jumper there if I understood right...?

We had our unofficial invitational national championships last saturday. No speed, only distance and accuracy.

Top three overall:
1: Simo Moilanen
2. Teemu Järvelä
3. Niko Kiviniemi

Longest swoop, 60.90, Juha-Matti Sironen.

Nice event, great weather, beautiful beach. Hope to make it official and bigger next year.

Greetings from Finland, Jan
