do you know if the L.O. fee will be outrageous like last year for Freeflying, or if it will be decent ?

Load Organization cost from Zun was taken from Sponsors - so you have just to pay your Jump Tickets...

But please feel free to pay Zun a Beer (or two)

amazing...absolutely amazing.

In the Navy, you can't put your hands in your pockets but I was always told not to put my hands in my pockets by people with their hands in their pockets. Kinda funny huh?

what is amazing ?
if it is the L.O.fee thing ? I have nothing against paying a L.O. Fee. As long as it is decent.

I think it also depends on the load organiser. But if they do a great job, whats 'decent'

If its somebodies fulltime job, you cant expect them to fly to Swiss (or wherever), sleep in a hotel, make lots of jump filming you and briefing/debriefing, eating, and then hope to pay for all that by putting 10 euros in a hat with a group of 15 people..

At some point these guys have to make a living, and you just need to see the vallue in what they are providing..

I think wingsuit is one of the few diciplines in skydiving where people still dont see the added vallue of coaching (and the price some people ask), and prefer to pay 20 to 30 euros max for a full week of video/coaching/debriefs etc, while its perfectly normal to get a full week of freefly coaching at a price of 2 slots + 30 euros (per jump).

That aside...I think his 'amazing...' was aimed at the video/event information posted in the first message of this thread

I agree with you both...

Zun is definitely a professional Wingsuit Coach.
Everyone who was once in one of his Skill Camps will agree.

I am not the organizer of this event, but took over reponsibility to get Zun here.
So don't worry - Zun will be paid for coaching!

Everyone is welcome, let's make some nice flights over the swiss mountains.

Brand war is forbidden there!!!

Oh yes: it doesn't mean that you are not allowed to pay Zun a beer...
To collect with a hat may be also a cool idea

So the whole GoFast vs Red Bull thing will not be an issue there?

Load organising is different than 1-1 coaching...
34€ per day per person for L.O. was not reasonable (as a "package price")(and some people only could do like 1 or 2 jumps a day...)
If jumping in a group, I'd gladly pay 2-3€ per jump for L.O.
