Dear Guy,
You are perfectly right, our indoor free style flying is definitely more
attractive than artistic roller skating or cycling. For majority of people
are aerobatic models much more unusual than skating or cycling and I hope we
have a chance for good popularity of our discipline - providing that we will
find proper place, time and spectators.
Best regards
Jiri

Dear all,
If you have a look at the WArtGames draft schedule, you will see that we
will share the hall with two other sports on the first day and with only one
on the second day.
Out of curiosity, I wanted to know more about these sports:
- Artistic roller skating is roughly identical to ice skating and apparently
uses the same size area, so we don't need to bother on this matter, it will
be wide enough for us. As for the ceiling, on second thought it depends
upon the number of seated spectators - the more seats, the higher the
building must be. So most certainly no fear on this matter.
Videos are not that easy to find, a sign that the sport is as obscure as
ours ;-) . Here are a couple of them:

Note spectators are few, the sport needs multi-sports games at least as much
as we do.
- Artistic cycling shares the same anonimity and, actually, I would call it
acrobatic rather than artistic. Here is a video from a championship:

Here again, spectators are visibly mostly just friends & family. However,
shows and demos can be quite interesting :

Quite frankly, I believe we can be at least as attractive as thse two sports
and probably much more, it will remain for us to be somewhat more
professional in the presentation area (competitors behaviour and attire).
So. What do you think ?
Guy R.
