Birdman_Mike 0 #2 January 21, 2010 Hi Jarno, I heard that there is a big way around this same time in the Czech Republic, but I don't know if the exact dates have been set. It might work out for some people in the US to attend both events, if they are around the same time. Do you know anything about this big way? Thanks, Purple Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 74 #3 January 21, 2010 Gransee (the performance competition) is 3 days after the planned dates for the Wingsuit Competition, so for overseas people, already a good chance to go all-out in Europe. I havent heard anything about a EU bigway as of now. Last year there was also some Spanish invitational thing many people asked about about, but I also never heard details on what/where/who. So you probably know more than I do about that one:) I do know there is an invitational formation event planned in Belgium for later in the season. Specifics for that one will follow. But the aim for that one wont be 'record' though, but just 'visualy pleasing' and seeing how tight it can be flown (spacing it within/max one meter). I update the boogie calendar on wingsuitnews.com this weekend, to show the EU scedule in more detail. If you know of planned weekends or boogies, let me know per PM or email to news@flylikebrick.com For the wingsuit competition, the above dates are set (many people mailed, liking those dates, none against), so hoping to see everyone there for the competition! If you have a team or need teammates, give a shout!JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By lottery (drawing em out of a hat, with each figure in it twice) we will determine the final rounds. So an example competition could be: round 1: A C (repeat) round 2: B B (repeat) round 3: F A (repeat) round 4: D E (repeat) round 5: C E (repeat) round 6: free round So everyone can practice the figures.
