What a super week in Berck
First of all thank you Gerard Clement and the
city of Berck for making everything possible!
Again thousands of spectators were watching the demonstrations and
competitions during the week. Yes, it's fantastic if you go in the
arena and thousands are watching you! And believe me it's great to
hear and to enjoy the big applause.
This year 17 teams were in the competition. Teams from Argentina,
Colombia, France, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, UK and USA - a real World
Cup! It was great to see their flying and their different implementing
of music. And we got new friendships, especially with the teams from
Japan and South America.
The first weekend we had rain and it was cold. Sometimes we had strong
winds on which we hoped to have it also during the three competition
days. Our Masque's and the new selfmade vented's (the wine red's)
were prepared. But on the first competion day (Tuesday) the weather
was much better, nice warm and the wind was little. The second competition
day Team Neo had a longer wind recess on the field - no wind! In the
winter time we have built a special super ultralight version of the
Masque (our blue, white black ones). We used them on all competition
days and the megateam show. I think without the blue's the 6th place
were impossible. So we're happy and we'll go to work on new routines.

some very nice pictures!)
