smiler 0 #1 May 24, 2007 Hi all, Mike Ehlas will be running wingsuiting at Nethers all day Saturday 26th May, mainly first flights and low experience coaching I think. He may stay around for some of the rest of the weekend but the forecast is only looking good for Sat so far so he'll be there from Friday night. Then I'll be doing it for 2-3 June and particularly 9-10 June, which is a practice weekend for the big ways in September. See website for more details and latest news!

smiler 0 #9 May 30, 2007 Sorry but due to a mate's 4 way team needing a last-minute stand-in for a competition at another DZ, I won't be running any wingsuit stuff on 2-3 June. However 9-10 June has got about 8 flockers coming at least so let's divert attention to that weekend instead!www.wingin-it.co.uk Wingin' It wingsuit school Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woodpecker 0 #12 June 7, 2007 Decisions decisions! For demoing and getting sized, what would be a better event to attend? Nethers or Langar this weekend? I have to pick one..........or maybe sat at one and sun at the other. SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

jakee 1,500 #15 June 7, 2007 Since you sound like you are exactly my size I know that at Netheravon you'd be able to try at least a Firebird, Phantom and Acro, which are all perfect for first suits. Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
