It would be nice to see some of the "monster suits" and their results in comparison to our ordinary wings http://www.fallschirmsport-marl.de/fsm-extern/events-2008/wings-over-marl-2008.html German beer, Bratwurst and Stroopwaffles . . . ...your mother... www.pralle-zeiten.de

Yes, for some memory pics it will be ok, but difficult situations, the different part of the flock and how they find together, the angle of the sun -to get enough material for editing - to study the flight skills . . . and if you got too much video material, there will be possibillities to delete it

Hi guys! Did anybody received the PIN for Cochstedt registration already? Will 3 camera men be enough? I don´t think so Everybody should fly his slot- so it would be professional to have cameras at the important angles . . . ...your mother... www.pralle-zeiten.de

ok,i think it is possible to have problems to make the jet-engines run above 3000 ft may be you can get help from rocket-birdman good luck ...your mother... www.pralle-zeiten.de

SkyJester’s Wings over Marl 2007 Three years after the inaugural running of S. WoM, the first international wingsuit competition with the highest prize money worldwide, the third running of the event took place on July 21 and 22. In the meantime, the prize money has increased to 3000.00 Euros as well as items to be won with a value of 3500.00 Euros. Even more impressive than the prizes was the sportsmanship shown by the contestants. The rules for the competition have remained the same: Who will achieve the longest fly time between 3000 and 2000 metres? The measurements were done through the use of Neptunes from the company Alti-2 and valuated with the software PARALOG software provided by Klaus Reinwald who was present and a big help to Steffen “Kaba”. Thanks to the improved software from Klaus, the readings of the Neptunes was faster and a better overview was maintained. Rick was again our man on the front. He waited for the jumpers on the landing area to pick up the Neptunes and pass them on to Kaba and Klaus. For the first time, a GPS system was used with the three dimensional results being displayed on Google Earth. The receiver fitted comfortably in a match box and was able to receive the signal without any problems. New this time was the “Index Run” in which even less experienced jumpers had a chance at winning a valuable prize. The goal here was to estimate the amount of fly time achieved during the third jump (between 3,000 and 2,000 metres). The jumper whose time was closest to their estimate, won the BLADE from the company Bird-Man. Tobias Koch, who has only marginal experience with a wing suit, took first place with his estimated time of 38.3 seconds, only 0.5 seconds off from his measured time of 37.8 seconds and took the BLADE. Second place in the Index Run was Sandro Böhme with a difference of 0.6 seconds (estimated time, 47.0 / measured time, 47.6 seconds). With this time, he was able to take the totally crazy, hand built and unique “LUNATIC” carbon WS helmet. He decided on the full visor version and visibly excited about his prize. Third prize, a redish gold AIRREX Chronograph with a value of 900.00 Euros, went to Helmut Tacke. His time was as follows, Estimated – 38.7, measured – 37.3 with a difference of 1.4 seconds. He managed to achieve this even though he only has less than 20 jumps with a wing suit and had just got his new Firebird that Friday morning. Tied for fourth place was Sascha Tillenburg and Lutz Lüdtke. The results are as follows, Sascha, estimated – 40.3 7 / measured – 38.5 with a difference of 1.8 seconds. Lutz, estimated – 49.0 7 / measured – 47.2 with a difference of 1.8 seconds. The tie was broken through a drawing of lots with the winner being Lutz who could take home with him the Garmin GPS Forerunner 201. Sascha was awarded two jump tickets. Susanne Böme walked away with the newest version of Kaus Reinwald’s PARALOG software for 5th place (estimated – 46.8 7 measured – 44.8 with a difference of 2.0 seconds). And last but not least, Marco Strobelt was awarded the POLAR Pulse metre for 6th place (estimated – 39.2, measured – 41.8 with a difference of 2.6 seconds). The competition remained close and tense through to the last jump. On Saturday, Sven Knoch flew the best time for the competition with 54.8 seconds for the 1000 meters. The remarkable thing is, that although he had lost his orientation during the measured segment of his flight, with nerves of steel, he kept his heading fully concentrating on his performance. This, in consideration of the danger that landing off the drop zone brings with it, is only found in someone with the mindset of a winner. Still an outsider last year, his time from this year was only 3.9 seconds under Rod “Rocket” Millner’s time from last year of 58.7 seconds which set a world record during last years S.WoM. With a total time of 152.5 (54.8 / 50.8 / 46.9) seconds, Sven decided the competition in his favour. First place (1000 Euro) for Sven Knoch! Second place (800 Euros) was flown by Lutz Lüdke with a total time of 145.7 (51.7 / 46.8 / 47.2) Third place (600 Euro) went to Christian Stadler (BMI) with 50.8 / 50.8 / 40.8 for a total of 142.4. The ten second difference in the deciding flight was the result of a 180° curve made during the measured segment in order to keep sight of the landing area since he, in contrast to Sven, didn’t want to land off drop zone under the weather conditions at the time of the jump. An understandable precautionary undertaking in consideration of the amount of surgical steel already existing in his body. Fourth place (400 Euro) went to Sandro Böhme who, along with his wife Susanne (www.wingsuit.de) traveled up from Pforzheim. His total fly time, 141.8 (47.9 / 46.3 / 47.6). Susanne Böhme (BMI) placed as best woman with 135.7 seconds (46.5 / 44.4 / 44.8) and fifth place (200 Euros) overall. Daniela Busatta in sixth place (25% off coupon from Alti-2) with a total time of 128.6 (42.4 / 45.2 / 41.0). Since only two women were entered in the women’s category, it was decided to cancel it. Susanne also received a ‘special’ prize along with her prize money. For first place in the women’s category, a Neptune had be donated by the company Alti-2. Appropriately, she also won the PARALOG Software in the Index Run and is now well prepared for training towards the next SkyJester Event in 2008. Sixth place went to Lutz Piotrowski whose home dropzone is in Cape Town, South Africa. He flew a total time of 120.9 (36.8 / 45.1 / 39.0). Since he has only had his Blade for a short time, his performance is expected to improve. Food was also well provided for. Rick had prepared an unbelievable amount of super tasting chilli (chilli should taste, not stink = no garlic) for Friday night and on Saturday a fantastic BBQ with excellent salads with help and support from Timo and Jogi. And of course a massive amount of free beer from the club. Let’s also not forget the “STROEWAFFELS” provided by Gerd Währisch. On Saturday afternoon, after all participants had completed their first two official runs, a mini-cake was given to each of the ‘Jesters’ at which point they were asked to give up their predicted run time for the Index Run for jump three. The weather on Saturday was super and the BBQ could have been relaxing if it weren’t for the Mega R3 Party which was going on at the airport with excess girls, music and lightshow effects. And so, the day ended for some in the wee hours of the morning. On Sunday, A few cloud fronts came through threatening but allowed a few blue holes to show through and thus the third round was able to be completed. At exactly 3 pm, the prizes were awarded being moderated by Kaba and a large round of applause for the winners and helpers without whom the event could never have taken place At this point, I would especially like to thank Guido Bleckmann for his tireless efforts in recognizing large and small problems and eliminating them in advance with his keen sense of problem solving. After the awarding of the prizes on Sunday, two huge cakes from the SkyJester were cut and all those present, participants, club members and guests, had their fill. The best at last, Susanne organized a 13 way with the Caravan consisting of strictly of the winged ones going up to 4,500 meters. And it gets better, during the collective off D.Z. landing, Volker landed with his canopy in a tree but was released with the help of a friendly neighbour with a ladder and a saw. Luckily nothing happened to Volker except for a couple of scratches. Due to the unfortunate switching of dates, a few registered national and international jumpers were unable to participate. However, the event was still a great success and it was also noticeable that most of the participants who had competed the year before, have greatly improved which means that the 60 second barrier will be broken next year! ...your mother... www.pralle-zeiten.de
