Just received a mail from Pål Hammar Rognøy with the current World Cup standings after two competitions, Acrofolies and Vertigo Voss.

2006 is the year of the first official acro world championship so the FAI and other official associations started to threat the rules even more strictly than before. For example it means doping tests are expected not only on the World Championship but other, smaller competitions. On Acrofolies the first dopping test was already done but without any consequenses. If you have a positive result, you cannot participate in acro competitions for 2 years!

Read carefully the official Anti Doping Policy!

FAI released the Aerobatics Competitions Rules for Paragliding for the 2006 season. There are many interesting modifications since last year, so it’s recommended to read carefully the whole text. For example:

- Manouvres with 1.8 difficulty coefficient or more (like Misty to Tumbling, Tumbling, Rhythmic SAT, Infinite Tumbling) must be executed at the beginning of the program (at high altitude), for safety reasons
