Herckydude 0 #1 March 4, 2010 Hello swoopers, The time has come to take your rigs and come to Belgium. Last year we had a great competition and this year we're going to make it happen again! The dates of the Black Mountain Canopy Piloting competition 2010 have been set!!! Unfortunately we had to change our dates because everybody had to, due to the WPC in Russia. So now we meet from Friday 21st of May till monday 24th of May. On friday we have scheduled a training day where we can start jumping from 1000hrs till 2000 hrs in the evening. Saturday and Sunday competition, we have one training round and nine competition rounds (3 Distance, 3 Speed and 3 Zone Accuracy). With the new rules. :-) Monday is our spare-day... hopefully we don't need it but if we have to we plan to jump till 1400hrs for the competition. Whenever possible, we try to finish all rounds in the weekend, followed by a nice barbecue and some nice cold Belgian beer... The cost of the competition is 250 Euro's. This includes 10 jumps, 1 training jump and 9 competition jumps and a barbecue on Sunday evening. Competitors who register before the 7th of May and pay a 50 Euro advance get a 25 Euro discount cash-back after the competition! This allows us to organize the things better and anticipate on the amount of people coming. You can pay this money on the following account: Para Centrum Vlaanderen Fortis: Iban BE69 0354 3267 2278 Bic : GEBABEBB Jump prices for the training day are 14 Euro/jump, exit altitude 5000 to 6000 ft. Jump prices during the competition are also 14 Euro/jump and will be refunded if they are not used. Prize money will depend on the amount of competitors, but we guarantee at least 500 Euro's prize money for the overall winner. Competition rules in general will be the FAI rules with the new accuracy rules (again), exceptions will be made well clear before the start of the competition. In Belgium, an AAD is mandatory for all jumps, but for the swooptraining and the swoopcompetition jumpers are allowed to jump without AAD when they sign a waiver. Funjumps from 13000 ft without AAD are not allowed! Lodging is possible in a tent on the dropzone or the airfield, and there are also some alternatives nearby, ranging in price from cheap to expensive. Rooms can be reserved for you (shared with 4 to 6 swoopers) if you request it on the registration form, and the cheapest solution is about 16 Euro's/night. If you are interested to participate, please send an email to evanlommel@hotmail.com with the registration form and I am happy to answer all your questions. Hope to see you soon, The Black Mountain Swoop Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

berchtoldaj 0 #4 May 11, 2010 This was a fun one last year, wish I could make it again. Where else do you get a bunch of ladies in mini skirts and devil horns armed with red pitch forks on the sidelines of the course judging and cheering. Somebody give the Swoop Duvel ladies a kiss for me. Maybe next year..************ Watch out for planters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
