1st PlaceLake Bussloo comp in the Netherlands (August 2008). The competition itself went really well, with some sensational weather on the 2nd day.
Unfortunately Rodrigo Ferreira from Portugal hit the water hard and died on a training jump the day before comp began. A bunch of people went home and others stayed on the ground and watched. The rest of us did 2 training jumps on the first morning of comp to get our confidence back. The worst thing about the accident is that his girlfriend was there at the lake when it happened and she saw the whole thing.
I didn't have a super strong competition, I was just consistent with my scores which made the difference in the end.
My CF team have now turned up and we are supposed to start training today but the weather is not so good. This time next week, the World Meet will have started. Can't wait!

Current things happening in your life
In April I did a paragliding course and got my licence. Very different going up under canopy rather than coming down. My Cousin owns a bunch of gold mining leases up in North Queensland and has been up there for years. I have never been up there to see the place so the plan is to go up there this July for a couple weeks. Maybe I will strike it rich! |
