Vertigo Voss

As the part of the great Extremesportsweko event, this competition started in 2002 and since then, it’s held every year at the breathtaking land of western Norway, in the small town of Voss.
This is a very unique contest. In 2003, all pilots started from a helicopter (by d-bag jumps), for the first time in the acro competition’s history, instead of using the regular startplace of Hanguren. 84 successful jumps were done and by this, the competition became more spectacular, and almost independent from the weather.
Since then few other competitions already followed this idea, like Paranoia or AcroBeach and probably many other will join in the future!

This competition is a station of the World Aerobatics Tour (WAT).

I'll be coming from the USA to compete in the Acro World Tour and this would be very disappointing.
I just emailed Pal Rognoy to see if this is really true!

Hm...I also knew that they have financial problems, but then I heared that they finally find some sponsors in time. So what's going on now? If it is cancelled I can relax, stop training and fly justXC this season :-))
According to Alex Aimard the 2nd Aerobatics World Championship are cancelled :( !
