Nigel

Are there many Freeflyers planning on coming to the Bodyflight New Years Party?
The level of freeflying has increased alot in the last year and it would be cool to throw together some fun stuff!

The suit in Matt's picture is tony's original suit that Bill Sullivan flew with the addition of more leg wing. This suit was dubbed the "death suit"

So i was correct then Kris

Nigel

When i went to Z-Hills in April, Tony showed me a wingsuit that he had made many years ago, it had a single skin material (like the one pictured) but he said he hadn't flown it.

So i'm guessing that in the picture with 4 suits, he's showing his original idea plus the 3 finished products.

Nigel

He got to No.5

Still not bad!

They all appear to be the same size here in the UK,
Too tight for sure!

The famous Bodyflight New Year party is happening again with some fantastic games, competitions and entertainment planned.

Scrambles and Tunnel Twister as well as 15 minutes of flying time is available for each flying ticket holder, but you can maximise your time by sharing with others and fly for longer!

Last year's party was an outstanding success and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone!

Magician Matthew Stirling, a Casino and fireworks display will be entertaining the party goers along with top tunes by award-winning DJ Richie.

Food & drink a fully licensed bar will be provided by the brand new Bodyflight Diner. Don't forget you can save the night's drive home by staying over in the newly completed accommodation wing.

Party flying will start at 1 pm and cease at 10 pm, giving plenty of time to dance and socialise with a beer or two before the clock strikes twelve.

Tickets inclusive of flying time are £150 and the Party only tickets are just £20!
(You can fly with a party ticket if someone with a flying ticket invites you to share their time)

You can buy your tickets online in the store section of our website.

Anyone know when 2007 Midsummer Boogie is?

Nigel

After the huge success of the 1st Bodyflight World Challenge, this awesome event will be returning on 7th-8th April 2007

Many Top Teams are already showing an interest and with the prize fund looking to be even bigger than last year be sure to register your team quickly as there are only 20 spaces in each discipline.

http://www.worldchallenge.info

Changes for 2007 include both disciplines running at the same time so both will finish on the Sunday evening when there will be the awards ceremony and a nice big party to round things off.

Also there are plans for a Freefly rounds to be flown in time to music! More on this to follow.

To enter the competition you will need to have flown in Bodyflight before, even if it is just 5 minutes the day before,
Due to the interest, the week prior to the Challenge is being booked up fast for training, so get in now and reserve your time.

This is gonna be a great competition, will any teams top the scores that Element-R (Fabian and Cathy) and Airspeed Odyssey achieved this year? I look forward to finding out.

Nigel

If anybody in the UK has Chronicle 1, If you call Shazam from your mobile on 2580 and hold your phone to the music whilst it's playing it will text you the name of the song and the artist.

That would hopefully answer the question

in a burble zone wilst trucking and felt it was almost impossible to fly cos of turbulence.

Whilst trucking?
If you drive behind a truck you can save on fuel consumption because there is less air resistance on your vehicle, i think i'm correct in saying that Racing drivers also do this to gain extra speed?

Nigel

(Sorry couldn't resist)

I've posted a new video on Skydiving Movies,
Website http://www.faceparty.com came to the tunnel on the 31st October and i produced a video for their website.

Feedback welcome

I've taken quite a few beginners in Bodyflight who have then gone on to do AFF without having to rejump,

For the same price as a rejump in the UK you could do at least 10 minutes in the Tunnel,

Nigel

Craig, i'm here with Bernd (Bodyflight Instructor, worked on open air facilities for 10 years), just asked him if that was normal, it is usual that on those facilities they lose the lift my turning the student round

We have Tunnel Rigs here at Bedford,
Backflying in them is hard work as the rig will move to one side and you side slide into the walls, it takes some getting used to, Sit flying is okay and they have been used for head-down by The Freefly school for Freefly flyers that don't fly too good as well as BaByLoN.

I definately think the Tunnel is a good thing,
My 2005 Freefly B team with Steve Hogan scored 11.9 as UKFreefly.com winning Bronze and in 2006 we scored 35.9 as Out take and took Gold
We did 1 hour of tunnel training the week prior to practise our compulsories more than anything and then 4 team training jumps for the Free Routine

Freefly B has 5 rounds with a maximum of 10 points per round and it's FCFFC

Nigel

C'mon bidding end soon!

The more i go for, the more Ross get's charged for putting me on E-Bay

Currently £1040 with a bid by someone with the same surname as me, which is a coincidence...... honest

Shouldn't you be doing other things on your Honey Moon??

Tell you what, you go to Hinton, and i'll go away with your new missus to Gib

There's no jumping there, i've been, it's windy alot of the time and theres a huge rock in the way, but i know the Falcons have jumped there as it's on some of their postcards.

Make sure you walk to the top of the rock, it's worth it, especially going through the tunnels, and watch out for the monkeys at the top, they'll steal your sunglasses off your head, and anything else they can get hold of,

Oh and there's about 360 bars in the town, which is good to know
