Today was the last day of flying the pre-Worlds balloon event run by the Flaggls.
Light winds hit us but there were a lot of teams practising so the sky was full of colour.
A few more drops and a few more castles to fly into. Life is tough in rural Austria - Prost!
By late arvo the weather had moved in so we went to the final ceremony of this week's PrimaGaz BallonWeek 2008 for a quiet beer, or two...
... where Paul won the big prize-NUMBER 1.
Yep, first prize out of over 50 competitors. Great warm-up for the Worlds which starts tomorrow.
Go Team Gibbs!
So, we registered today and found another surprise - Team Gibbs is registered competitor number 1!
Go Team Gibbs!
No wonder our farmhost Gerhardt was shouting us more schnapps this arvo - or perhaps it was the cheersquad Mark arranged from Italy.
Yep, watchout world. Team Gibbs has groupies, cheersquads, gold stripes and number 1's all around. Bring it on!

ReplyDeleteKeep up the great form.
Incidentally, you've always had a cheer squad - we're just usually called "crew"....
CONGRATULATIONS - well done team Gibbs - Aussie, Aussie, Aussie - yay!
ReplyDeleteYay team Gibbs! It must be all the cheering from your home-based cheer squad which made all the difference.
ReplyDeleteGo get 'em!
