Sad, but true: a few days ago an official statement was released by the organization of the World Championship in Voss:

Oslo, February 26, 2008.

The working committee for the 2nd World Aerobatic Hang gliding and Paragliding Championship had a meeting yesterday on February the 25th.

After rearranging the committee in December and working very hard to try to get everything ready for the event, we had to face the facts yesterday and make a decision.

In January we spent an amazing week on the Island of Madeira by the invitation of Hartmut Peters. After 5 days of non-stop flying we edited this short video of our trip. Have fun!

7 teams, 5 sports and 5 days to make a movie! That's the challenge of the Nissan Outdoor Games by Columbia which's first winter edition was held from 10th to 17th of January in Chamonix, France (there were already 3 succesful summer editions in Interlaken, CH). Skiing, snowboarding, mountaineering, base jumping, paragliding, and speedriding – these were the sports that had to be included in a 5 minutes long movie and a slideshow with the best 20 pictures by the photographers of each team.

Because...” is a new competition based on a simple question: why do you fly?

We know that every single person has a good answer for this and well we are waiting for your ideas at: www.flyozone.com/because

Check the trailer and when it ends you will be redirect to the contest page. We have many prices to give away!

Thanks for sharing your answer with us.
