Hey all -

I've put a new post on my blog: http://teamblog.flyozone.com/novadasalla/2010/02/21/wait-a-year/

A lot of you have asked me about this competition that'll be held here in the US in June. Here's what I can tell you:

In January, I was asked to be part of a competition symposium organized by our flying association, USHPA. The association realized that in order to grow the sport, sanctioned competition in the US needed to happen. In addition to XC, acro was included. As we all know, it's a challenge to put on a legitimate, FAI-sanctioned comp and this one in the US is no different. The important stuff that you European guys want to know is whether or not you'll earn FAI points towards your ranking or will there be any prize money, well . . . . it's up in the air at the moment. (This is my goal in the US to get you guys out there, but not in 2010, IMHO.)

I'd love to have all you guys come out for this, but I know there's gotta be some incentive as the US isn't a place where you guys can just drive your acro vans over! ; ) I'll do what I can! As for now, the only European I'll have to worry about is Cyrille Marck since he'll be working here until late June. He's just the French champion and if he doesn't have the misty-tumbling down by then . . . . he's mine! Hee-hee.

Hi Guys, we have plans for an acro comp at Bear Lake, UT June 11-13, 2010. It is our second time doing a competition there and it is called Wings Over Bear Lake. We will have HG and PG categories. I will try to provide information as it becomes available.
