There are apparently eighteen members of the USHPA Competition Committee (seems like most of the USHPA BOD). A few days ago, Mike Haley, USHPA Competition Committee Chairman, in a lame attempt to get some legitimacy for his awarding of 100% validity for the King Mountain co-Nationals (after Dave Wheeler, the volunteer responsible for assigning... mehr

I’ve gotten to test my little contraption here in Zapata and it’s working like a charm. My motivation is that after the three or four hour mark, my neck gets a bit sore. And after a seven hour flight last year, I remember it becoming hard to think straight because of the strain.... mehr
