In the movie above I have some footage of Hall Brock, who was Pete Brock's nine year old son at the time. Hall was flying a standard at Robinson Ranch (Escape Country).

Hang-gliding nuts know this guy as the design and business genius behind Ultralight Products (UP), the world's biggest hang gliding company during that sport's late-'70s/early-'80s heyday. Peter once reminisced to me, "I was messing around all day with racecars, just trying to get 'em to stick to the ground. Then one day I go by this giant dune, and these guys are jumping off the thing with nothing with a couple of sticks and a garbage bag. And they're flying! I saw that and I thought 'boy oh boy: To hell with trying to stick stuff down to the ground!"
