BIG Way Jumping:
We have managed to get Dave Lewis over from "sunny" UK to organise and jump up to 50 ways over the Bad Lippspringe skies from Wednesday to Friday. To make sure that the jumps go safely and remain fun we are going to have a registration/invite procedure. This will make sure that we  can provide some awesome big way jumps and keep it as safe as possible. Even if you are not invited you can still register if you feel you have the required skills but are not known to either Dave Lewis, Albi Alberts or Rob Kendall. however for us to consider your application please include a recommendation from a recognised big way jumper or CCI. Dave Lewis will be running a few big way events before the RAPA boogie to get yourself known to him (see dates, locations here) Also, Bad Lippspringe will be hosting a few "Big Way Basics"  weekends. Come along and jump over Bad Lippspringe before the event to warm up and increase your chances to recieve an invite. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for more details.

Setting A NEW German Ladies HD Record
Eva Walzel and Dominic Leser (Team NoN-Standard) will be running the German Ladies HD record attempts. Again, to ensure awesome jumps and above all SAFE jumps an invite system has to be put in place to make sure the ladies leave the Bad Lippspringe DZ with a new German Womans HD Record and of course big smiles all around.

To secure your slot please see if you meet the requirements (posted on the official DFHR 2014 FB page) and get in touch wih Eva Walzel per email.
