meatbomber, on the Ikarus Piccolo board, came up with a Indoor Land Anywhere competition in this thread.
The Piccolo flyers, being a crazy bunch, jumped on it and started making movies instantly.
The winner will be chosen by a poll on the Ikarus Piccolo forum. The current end date is 31st of May 2004.
Please use the upload page to upload your video. Use the contact page to let me know you've uploaded a file for the competition. If you don't contact me I will not be able to distinguish your entry from a normal video upload.

Very funny attempt to land on 4 eggs. The dancer in the middle of the movie is his wife taking the egg off the skid. :-)
