Not exactly what we had expected but we had a great time in SPA

The Competition is almost over we have done all our rounds. and we finished last;o(

The main reason for the bad result is us not  being able to train together for the last 2 month Mette just lost 10 Kg and I gained 5 so on the first 3 jumps I fucked up the video. When I finally ate my pride and borrowed a Phoenix fly STEALTH wingsuit that had wing area to keep me up with Benny and Mette they were not able to perform in the 2 last rounds.

Tony suit and Phoenix fly were supreme in this competition and won over the rest with a BIG distance to fly like brick that came in Third. But I think that the difference between the 2 teams and the rest of us is that they were skydiving (falling RW style) for there points. And all the other teams have been flying for there points witch look a lot nicer but takes more time.

Tomorrow I will fly some more in the STEALTH suit and experience how the suit is flown when I don't need to focus on the competition. BUT one thing is for sure the suit SUCKS at pull time

We arrived in SPA and its freezing cold.

Most of the teams is here in Spa now but the weather is so cold that no one wants to jump. James Boole and he's girlfriend was laughing all the way down because there noses froze and I guess there is a potential danger of icing condition in our wingsuit's.

and by the way the potential danger of having a out in this location is pretty big. And the forest is pretty BIG here

I fucked up and only came in second.. lesson learned.

The speed precision competition is now over I only came in second because I had to play smart ass on jump no 2 instead of  playing it safe I made a 450 turn too far away and got a 10 point score. The wind made it impossible to finish more than 4 rounds and I scored 1, - 10, - 1, - 0. But lesson learned there is a time to play around and a time to compete. And the time to fool around I found on the last jump yesterday, where I made a superman on the grass in front of some of the classic Precision guys. Some of them meant it was a waste of shoes dragging them on the ground like that......

 

  

Skyswoopers in Belgium is the next event I am going to attend. We are leaving Denmark Tuesday morning so we can be fresh for the training jumps Wednesday..

First Speed precision comp. 2008 this weekend

This weekend we have the first of 4 speed precision competitions.

Haralds minde cup is actually in memories of a Danish soldier that died in Iraq  a few years ago he's Fond is paying for some of the jump price so we only pay 30 Dkr (6$) for a hop n' pop. The weather is not looking good but we all hope it will be jumpable.

My sister just got a new Baby so I need to go for the baptizing Sunday so maybe I wont be able to finish the Comp. I will make a update after the weekend.

Superman Swoop to the limit

BA.com "we are sorry"

How unlucky do I need to be its the second time on this trip I have lost my luggage with BA in Heathrow airport. This time its just lost together with 15000 other pieces of luggage so I wonder when my rig and toothbrush together with my clothing is going to show up."We are sorry"

Home after a great Swoop trip.

I am sitting here in the train back to Aarhus thinking about the Perfect trip that is about to end. The first 6-7 days was clearly the best after the mountain swoop trip it seemed like we were getting tired both physically and  mentally. 15 - 16 jumps every day the first week was very learning but when you pack your self it get a little hard going back to back on a 20 min turnaround for a week in a row.

Bundy took a  lot of pictures of us swooping and some of those are picture perfect magazine covers. The video that was taken during the week will also get sorted so its possible to see the progression during the 2 weeks. I feel I have learned so much compared to the last trip and it was almost working from day one. But I also knew exactly what I had to change after seeing all the video from last trip.

The 450 turn is dialed in the gate is there on almost 90% or more of my swoops. Next thing to focus on is competition and saving money for my next trip. 

We have a upcoming speed precision comp her in DK  and a Wingsuit comp in Belgium Spa within the next 3 weeks . So more update will follow.
