Spa - Head Down Over Spa
Report:
Skydive Center Spa ( www.skydivecenterspa.com ) was organising its famous Head Down Over Spa Boogie.
The weather made a special effort for this event and appeared to be perfect for the full duration of the boogie.
About 2600 jumps were made this weekend.
The main attractions this year were the three planes (a Cessna Short Caravan, a Cessna Grand Caravan and a Skyvan), the second round of the Speed Skydiving World Championships, a swoop coaching and mini contest organized by Tobi Scherrinsky and the presence of Marco Tiezzi with his world famous Atmonauti coaching.
T-Bone was in Spa from the 26th till the 29th of may
A lot of interest was shown by all the skydivers at the Vigil stand.
Demo Vigils where used during some extreme swooping by Tobi Scherrinsky and at very high freefall speed during the Speed Skydiving training jumps by different jumpers.
The winner of the second round of the Speed Skydiving World Championships was Marco P. Wiederkehr (current holder of the World Record = 502 km/h). His price include a Vigil Multimode AAD. A extended study program is now being discussed with Marco.
The Vigil team is also proud to announce that Marco Tiezzi and his partner in crime Gigliola Borgnis both received full sponsorship from Vigil in partnership with Parachutes de France. We wish them both all the best with their Atmonauti project.
We would like to thank all the people at Skydive Center Spa to make this event such a special one.
Special thanks to the Go Fast crew, Globaeroshop, JPP, Parachutes de France, Tobi Scherrinsky and Marc Calland.
Congratulations and welcome: Marco P. Wiederkehr, Marco Tiezzi, Gigliola Borgnis in Vigil Teams

Easter Boogie - EmpuriaBrava
Report:
T-Bone (Thibaut) was on short tour in Spain from the 26th-28th March.
Vigil had a demo display in the hangar of Ampuriabrava for two days (Sat.&Sun.) during the Easter Boogie.
Skydivers could have a look at the Vigil and its accessories.
A lot of interest was shown and a lot of questions asked.
Good contacts were created between Vigil and the local skydiving community.
T-Bone was also able to talk to a lot of international skydivers coming from countries such as the UK, Ireland, France, Ukraine, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and others.
We would like to thank all the Ampuriabrava staff for their help and support during those two days.
On Monday, T-Bone drove to a new, small DZ in Jaca in the Pyrenees.
He met Miguel Ángel Domínguez Larrodé owner of the DZ and his wife who were very interested in becoming dealers for Vigil.
Although pretty small for the moment, Pirineos Actvidades Aéreas is run very professionally and will probably grow very quickly in the future.
The full Vigil team wishes them all the best and is glad to state that they are now our second dealer in Spain.
Nieuws over het vrouwenrecord !!!
Het vrouwenrecord van 6/7 Aug te Leopoldsburg begint stilletjes vorm te krijgen. Voorlopig hebben een tiental vrouwen al bevestigd dat ze komen. Er wordt gevraagd om zich zo snel mogelijk aan te melden ,zodat ik één of meerder vliegtuigen kan vastleggen. Voorlopig zijn er besprekingen lopende voor een sky-van (20 vrouwen). Als er meer dames op af komen zoeken we naar een tweede bak. Wat de sprongprijzen betreft, ben ik optimistisch dat we ons vrouwen een klein cadeau zullen kunnen geven (een soort late Valentijn) temeer dat het de bedoeling is om tussendoor tandems te laten springen.
Dus vrouwen, dames en meisjes, verwittig jullie lotgenoten (ook in Wallonie) en schrijf zo snel als mogelijk in via herman.perdu.5948@police.be .
We zoeken ook een paar tandemmasters die dit initiatief wil ondersteunen door tandems te doen tegen een af te spreken vergoeding !!!!
Ondertussen hebben Go-Fast en Vigil toegestemd om te sponseren !!!
