2nd Place - Matt Munting, AUS
3rd Place - Yegor Orlov, USA

Target Competition:
1st Place - Brandon Mikesell, USA

Just before the event there was a situation where one of the pilots did not follow the rules at a legal BASE site. Unfortunately due to the proximity with the start of the event and the disruption this would cause we were unable to take action.

For future events it will be required that all pilots who attend follow the rules at all legal BASE sites and also behave in a way that helps promote sustainable jumping.

In the future we will also have standby pilot/s who can step in at the last moment should such a situation arise again.

Good to hear. Bit of a shame that such a rule is needed.
