I was the first one up yesterday and I asked for the most likely possible problems that could happen while flying my Evora wing which I am SUPER light on. So up I got towed in the most gorgeous air that

WTF did I do today?!?! Oh, I was first flight and induced 90% collapses of the flying device that is holding me in the air, then out the device back together in a second and continued fly for the next

Again you aren't going to get a lot of description as I am a bit pressed for time this morning. Yesterday was pretty intense but much less so than the prior day. I was to the meeting spot first in the

HOLY FUCKING HELL!!! I just did the most insane and crazy things I have ever done, and I've climbed El Capitan in Yosemite. Towed 3k feet over the lake then causing my means of flight to collapse then

Hiked and flew Quartzite today. Weird launch which took me many tries to get launched then in the air I had zero penetration with the wing. Had to work to go forward and ended up 2/3 mile short of my intended

Well... That was my best flight yet. Laps in the thermals around Tekoa while the other 3 went over the back and into Idaho. That's fine I need to learn thermals before I xc. SICK lift and such learning

Went to fly today and ended up mowing the steepest part of the road to launch. My contribution to the cleaning. Got 2 short flights in awful heat. Very lucky I caught the car about to overheat and left

Holy shit great day!!! Flew Tiger mtn for the first time after a 2 mile 1 hr hike up. My wing fully collapsed and recovered and it didn't mess with my head. Sweet landing then ended up at a brew pub next

Went to fly Chris's backyard today and wow is it wild. 1400 ft drop from launch to his house lz and the potential is huge but winds are wild in the valley. This is him setup on launch. I got an interesting

Hike and fly today 5k to launch in 90 minutes with a 1000ft of elevation gain. HOLY SHIT IS MY HEAD WONKED. This is 4 flights this week and I had my first free fall collapse that I survived. I have SOOOO

HOLY SHIT!!! That was fucking scary! I took a half collapse of my wing within a couple hundred feet of the hillside... I did everything right, my reaction was correct and automatic like it is supposed

Managed a 20 minute flight today before the gust front came through and I chose sanity over brazenness and went to land, which was a perfect one. My in fought decision making is improving and my wing handling

I got 2 real flights today at Tekoa on my new wing. Stuck my landings and got to hang with the club. Levi is a badass and he gave me very direct and useful advice and I have mich more kiting in my future.

First flight on my wing was AMAZING!!! Short but badass. I love my wing and am likely to not fly my other again. I have lots of kiting and sledders ahead of me but it will be worth it for this killer wong's

4 mile hike. 2 hours waiting on the ridge. The wind was BLASTING then it would die for 30 seconds... Then blast again. Chris got off and went up. 2 or 3 cycles later I launched into abject SHIT. 12 minute

I got thermals!!!!!! Best week of flying so far in my life. Highest flight, longest time flight, and first real thermals I rode up. Fucking incredible. And a mentor out of it all. This report was published

Longest flight so far today at 1hr18min at Inkler's with chris and Kim. The ballast made a HUGE difference in the feel of my wing in dynamic air. Stupid garmin borked and this app stopped but managed to

15 pilots flew today. I was 4th off and got a 25 minute flight that was hard to land, the air was super bouyant and didn't want me landing. My shoulders and arms were torched from the engine work so I

One hell of a day. 4 miles of hiking, 2000ft vert, an 8 minute paragliding flight, and opening a new badass ridge for us to fly. 9 of us flew today and I was 2nd in the air, 4 others hiked down to and
