encouraged by the DHV, has withdrawn the current funding for the further
development of the EN norms for paragliding.
This is undermining the development and... mehr

The future of the USHPA and hang gliding is up in the air with the question
of how much instructors will have to pay for third party liability insurance. We
are discussing it over on the Oz Report forum and I'm looking forward to
articles in the Oz Report which will go into the details especially coming out
of the BOD meeting last weekend.... mehr

Standing up for the little guy. Sebastian Domingo has created a nice little
niche product that wasn't available for the hang glider manufacturer. Only Wills
Wing provides little skids that protect its carbon base tube. Sebastian went to
considerable trouble to profile the Moyes basetube and use CNC to make some
skids that fit tight and stay... mehr

has sent me two $5 rewards for the two sales that he made from his two sales

As I sat in the bath last summer I decided to inspect my breasts.
I lost my mum and sister to breast cancer, and I carry the faulty BRCA1 gene –
which increases your chances of developing the disease (I had an 85% chance) –

everything changed: I felt... mehr
