My name is Jarno Cordia, and this is a newsletter from the Fly Like Brick Birdman team.
Through these emails we will keep you updated on European wingsuit events (mostly Belgium and Holland) and other wingsuit related news and developments. We will try and put out an email roughly once a month, depending on the amount of news and events.
