stroop·wa·fel (de ~); is the correct Dutch spelling for this delicious cookie, which we know, since we are Dutch. However, most English speaking customers spell this word differently. So, for PR reasons, we decided to use this alternative spelling on our website. Thank you to all who have emailed us in the past, but we have a reason!



The funny thing is, it looks like two dealers here in city have spelled this word false, in your shop-windows. :D

Thats great Tom -- you haven't hardly showed your face in weeks -- no banning me or Ted or even really responding to anything and when you finally do its about cookies????



They're not just cookies, they're STROOPWAFELS!!!

Clearly you have never been to Holland and sank your teeth into the tender yet firm crust and pressed your tongue against the golden syrup.
For once you have tasted stroopwafels you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards Holland, for there you have been and there you will long to return.

So how dare you diminish this gift from God as mere cookies!

Will you answer "NO" to my next question?

You're right, I was in Holland last year and had quite a few of them. Those are some damn good cookies! ;):P

Well regardless how you spell it, there aren´t any STROOPWAFELS :( BUT there is a fridge full of tasty German beer B|

Cloudy today but we managed to fly in the holes. 2 rounds completed and things are close, all to play for in the third and final round. Rod has set the best time so far of 58,7sec (between 3000m-2000m, measured using Alti-2 Neptune and Paralog).

This evening there was a "social" drag race meet at the airport :)
There is €2000 prize money for the open category (12 pilots) and €1000 prize money for the female category (6 pilots) B|

More tomorrow,

Sounds cool. So James, are you using the Phantom now or the V2? I imagine the V2 and setting your ProTrack alarms at the 2 altitudes? Good job on the flying/floating everyone! :)

Just got back home.

I went for the Phantom as the glide distance was not a factor.

The complete results will be posted on the Skydive Marl website soon :)
Thank you to Sky Jester and everyone at Marl dropzone for an awesome weekend; Christian, Guido, Daniela, Kaba (aka stunt cock), Rick and Regina.

AND of course all the other participants for a great competition (especially Rod for being a true sportsman and Toby for my travel "kit" ;)).

We also squeezed in one 12 way flock at the end yesterday :)
PEOPLE! YOU NEED TO GO TO THIS EVENT NEXT YEAR!!

Social drag meet: lots of petrol heads racing American cars down the runway B| None were as cool as Christians low rider though! :)

Id like to second what James said, it was a ripper of an event! Thanks to Christian and Guido for the forsight to create the event in the first place.And for all staff and now friends who helped make this event possible a big YA? FOOK YA!!
Personally id like to see this event become part of wingsuit signature events, the same with Cochstedt. The idea being that we have a type of circuit that we can all save and prepare for, especially for those of us who have to travel from a bloody long way, and at these events we have all the manufacturers and any other related skydive related dealers,etc, along with a no. of events which we could train for, be it big ways, time and or distance event, free training etc. That would include Stupino.
If they were held around the same time of year, say within a month it could act as a finals event for all the comps that I hope we start to run back home. Some people could come for part or all of these international events.
I think anyone that was at these events can really see were this sport can develop, it would be great to coordinate its growth so everyone can benefit.
Luv ya work bruva!!

Also thanks to WBT for your help, Mark F, all the competitors... how cool was it?

Also, Jarno for working the idea of a stuka dive after a Gainer, wicked, mate!!!! And for your kind hospitality in Rotterdam, cheers.

nice helmet, I wonder how long its gonna be till someone wears an aerodynamic helmet like bicyclists wear, i'd love one for camera, those guys are always complaining about the drag a camera gives off,
wonder if it would make looking up at your canopy hard, would it hit your reserve container?

I tried aerodyn. bicyclist- helmet; I just draw a mark in my goggles to remind me not to pull the reserve :S:S
but the Lunatic is absolut fine; it´s very smooth; 190gramm without visor
just one problem: Wonderlucky needs about three weeks to build one Lunatic [:/]

I bet you the speed racers will be wearing them pretty soon, I would if i was in a race

and if I had one
