We've got a great group of ol' mates going... Team members from USA, Australia, France, and Russia will converge together to perform a 30-minute show for a private party of high profile guests. Each member of the 14-man squad holds either a World or National championship to their credit. The show will include jet-skiing, wakeboarding, barefoot-skiing, free-style jumping, and hang gliding…all choreographed to music and pyrotechnics. The private-event will be held at the Olympic Stadium once used for the rowing events during the 1980 Olympics in Moscow.

It's going to be great to get on the water again.... in fact, I actually owe my discovery of hang gliding to water skiing, when I was skiing shows professionally in the 1990's. In 1994, my buddy (Bucky) was skiing and flying the hang glider at the show at the San Diego Sea World. Peter "Nello" Nelson was the show director. Since then, we've all kept in contact, and I'm heading to Moscow with Nello, who now owns Amphibian Stunts (www.amphibianstunts.com).

He’s a professional that stays busy coordinating stunt shows for Universal Studios around the world.

Next week, it's back to paradise, as I'll return to Australia to operate our hang gliding school based at Stanwell Tops. Once home, I'll sort through the Russian aerial-photos and get a few up on the blog.

Louise will be contactable on the phone and email, if needed.
