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

This was my ride up for my 3rd flight of the day. I was the only one to fly 3 times and I got the most air time because I launched when the wind was good. Such a great day of flying! I am a happy panda.

I got 3 flights in this morning and my last I landed and packed my wing as the rains hit. It was snow on the peaks though. I got to actually ridge soar a bit and my wing is dialed now, I can make real

Here is the video of my flight from Monday, all 11 minutes of it if you care to watch (now that we have internet back I was able to u/l it). The sketchiest part was the launch but once in the air I was

Best flight of my.life so far this morning. It was intense and you will read about it in my.post tomorrow. It was glorious. Then this afternoon I chased off a druggy who was parked in our dead end since
