posted: Aug 24th, 2008 It took only one day until the scores from Russia were already replaced by scores from the United Kingdom. The national championship was on the UK agenda, and the participation confirmed once again that the United Kingdom is slowly becoming a powerhouse of Formation Skydiving competition. UK Teams have already dominated the world wide 4-way competition in the female category for quite a while. Bodyflight Storm continued the tradition this year with the gold medals at the World Meet 2008. (more)
News Article Did you know that the interview with Bodyflight Storm includes a Fun Flag showing?
posted: Aug 15th, 2008 It came as it had to be expected: it is a beautiful Friday morning with clear skies and lots of sunshine. One more day of competition, before or after the dedicated five days, would have completed the meet. That's how it goes, and the IPC committee will take a closer look at the rules for the event duration. Thursday was a great day of celebration though. The airshow and award ceremony at the dropzone attracted once again a large crowd of spectators. It was a wonderful presentation of the sport to the general public.

It is also possible that Round 7 could become the final round with only six teams if nothing changes. The weather forecast for Thursday is much better. However, the last take-off is scheduled for 11:00 am at the latest. The rules say that the host has a maximum of... (more)

News Article Did you know that Gary Smith and Shannon Pilcher have one more day as reigning 4-way world champions?
posted: Aug 13th, 2008 It was a rough afternoon in Maubeuge on Tuesday. The teams were jumping, but the conditions were not the best ones. In fact, Meet Director Patrice Girardin even received a warning from the FAI Controller that he sent some loads in too critical conditions. Yes, it was windy, and it still is. It is almost a fact by now that the meet will not be completed after ten rounds. Patrice Girardin has all teams of all events on stand by at the dropzone, and each jumpable weather situation will be used. From here on, each jump could be the last one of the competition. The teams may consider this in their... (more)
