andybr6 0 #1 July 5, 2005 Hi all, I am considering making the espace boogie in lapalisse this year my first boogie. I would really appreciate any info' on it; have you been? are you going? would you recomend? etc' etc' At the moment I am 'flying solo' as the idea only just came to me the other day. As you can see I have pretty low jump numbers but have just started trying to get into freefly, would this be a good oportunity to get coaching or would everyone be waaaay to busy. If i go on my own will I be lost for people to jump with as a newbie or are people generally quite open to jumping with the new blood? Sorry for the mass of questions but if anyone can give me any idea about anything it would be cool A A ------------------------------------------------ "All men can fly, but sadly, only in one direction" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 140 #2 July 6, 2005 organising at Espace Boogie is great. But i doubt you can get much coaching... Depending on your level you might be able to find organising for realistic jumps and have mucho fun...scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dazzle 0 #3 July 6, 2005 They used to put a min 200 jump limit on for the espace boogie which would kind of imply that there isn't much coaching going on. Freefly coaching might be available. There are a number of low level flat groups but I think that they are more aimed at people who have their FS1. Your best best might be to call them - they don't seem to be very good at replying to emails. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 30 #4 July 6, 2005 With the boogie being at Lapalisse with smaller planes this year, I would be tempted to guess that they wouldnt have the jump number requirements they have for the big events at Vichy. That being said, check 1st.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 140 #5 July 6, 2005 QuoteThey used to put a min 200 jump limit on for the espace boogie which would kind of imply that there isn't much coaching going on.. last year they had Jan's Beech 99 and the Skyvan from Lapalisse for "low jump numbers" (under 150 or something) but higher numbers could also jump... They even had students jumping, but as I see it it is not optimal for them. As this year the boogie will be in Lapalisse, I bet the regular structure (with students etc...) will be working too...scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
