Did you know that the Dutch delegation prepares for the UK challenge at the ESL Championship 2008? posted: Aug 29th, 2008 The national championship of the Netherlands went almost unnoticed, as well, due to the separate event date and competition draw.

Did you know that the interview with Bodyflight Storm includes a Fun Flag showing? posted: Aug 15th, 2008 It came as it had to be expected: it is a beautiful Friday morning with clear skies and lots of sunshine. One more day of competition, before or after the dedicated five days, would have completed the meet. That's how it goes, and the IPC committee will take a closer look at the rules for the event duration.
Thursday was a great day of celebration though. The airshow and award ceremony at the dropzone attracted once again a large crowd of spectators. It was a wonderful presentation of the sport to the general public. The TV and print media participated very well in the event and covered it consistently.... (more)
