No US teams yet? The TonySuits team has flown in the competition in 2008 and 2009. With registration for this year being open for about 2 hours, it would probably be a bit premature to claim there will be no US team this year...:P

We've also set up a Facebook page for the competition, for those of you who use Facebook a lot.

I also created an event you can RSVP to.

If you are interested in coming but do not have a team, let us know we can hook you up with other people in the same situation.

We will be updating the wingsuitcompetition website this week with some minor additions to the rules related to the working altitude.

Thanks to backing by L&B we will be using AltiTracks to monitor exit altitude, and each team will be getting 7500 ft of working altitude. Meaning the scoring stops the moment they pass that exact freefall distance (12500 ft exit. 5000ft 'stop', 12200 ft exit. 4700 ft 'stop etc.)

Meaning there isnt any difference between teams who exit first or last, as well as easier rules (no more 'showing' of altimeters to the camera, or cameraman deployment altitude being used to check seperation etc).

So all in all, more robust and fair rules. And still, fly better = more working time. Everyone gets the same 7500 ft of freefall to 'show what you got'.

L&B is also sponsoring prizes, as well as a spontanious offer from DeepSeed freefly suits and FlyYourBody and PF are the two main organizing parties, both sponsoring the prizes as well.

Expect more news soon!
