One interesting thing with that video besides the scenery is that I once rose fairly high, but then was only soaring at lower altitude for quite some time, until at about 2 hrs into the flight I committed to following in the (for a paraglider) strong wind with some good lift that I had encountered.... mehr

This pilot attempted to "land" on the top of the post, but it was gusty. He got the boot of his harness caught on the post. He was indeed having fun. mehr

Things always seem to come to this when there is a selection committee and not a cut and dry process that just goes by the numbers.

With so many excellent pilots eligible for selection this was always going to be a tough decision. But the announced team caused some... mehr

Phil at the Airborne factory clued me in why I might not have heard about the Airborne Sting 3 168, even though it was in development last year when I was here flying the prototype of the Airborne 3 154.
Of course, they never did send out an announcement of the 168. So that didn't alert me. They were just very quiet... mehr

One pilot has asked me about the differences between the Airborne Sting 3 and the Moyes Litesport. The Sting 3 is an intermediate glider built to have intermediate handing and intermediate (but better than the Sting 2 XC) performance. The Litesport is an advanced glider with advanced performance and advanced handling.
The fact that they both... mehr

I just can’t accept that 24 reserves, 3 hospitalizations and one fatality are in any way acceptable for what should be the premiere event on the Paragliding Calendar.
Only yesterday my team-mate Kirsty had to land to tend to a badly smashed up pilot who’d crashed not whilst racing... mehr

The main fires that have killed so many people are in the hills just north east of Melbourne. There is a separate fire near Beechworth. Phil Schroder <<email>> reports:

I have been checking the scores etc. and reading your reports about the days flying. One thing that is missing from the report is the tussle between the real gliders!! I noticed on day 6 that Joel Mckay in a Moyes Sonic, landed just behind you and had plenty of the so called faster gliders behind him.... mehr

The task committee came up with a 114km task with a 5km enter cylinder around Sur1 which is close to Llano. Sur1 was also a 400 meter turn point. The start time was 12:45pm, and the remaining turn points were Three Kings, Saucos, and La Pila. Campos Verdes was... mehr

The last day of the NSW State Titles. The forecast was for no cu's, strong east
winds (up high) and strong lift. Things turned out a bit differently. The winds
were lighter than expected.

The winds were light on the east launch (as forecasted) with... mehr

The forecast was for southeast winds at 10 knots, but the task committee was
tired of sending us a long ways away down wind.  There was little chance of
over development. The cloud base would get to over 10,000'. The lift was
predicted to be... mehr

Wie man sieht ist Alex Peterson nicht nur ein verdammt guter Kitesurfer sondern auch ein guter “Kiteschirmflieger”.

Your free classifieds helped me sell another glider today. A Falcon 3 170 that I took cross country yesterday. It's to make room for a Falcon 3 195. I am waiting from Kraig to leave his Malibu 188 with Joe Greblo so I can demo it. I missed my chance last Sunday at Torrey... mehr

Sometimes I get frustrated when I look at the forecasts and they tell me one

something different. Sure, the forecasts could be wrong, and have been. Sure, I
