  • Kudos on the Pulp Fiction dialoge and timing! I'm laughing my ass off! You're dead on about the manuevers clinic. I'm retired from PGing because I'm not willing to commit to further training to do it safely (and I love my HG). Chris also plays the part of the Wolf. He does clean up, but he can teach you how to avoid being shot in the face.

  • Ya, Chris was awesome. I learned a ton and had fun. I'd do more if I had a boat and lake nearby. -otherwise, I'd rather be blazing in my hang glider.

    Also, I did a few days training with Matt Combs in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. -good stuff!

  • Still, with the way you were getting thrashed around, to make a good hurl and pull in on the Bs was great work. Did you get a foot caught in the lines? The splashdown didn't look too slow and soft either!

  • Ya, that's right!

  • Also, it looks like the weight-shift is a little late and you're at nearing the bottom of the pendulum..

  • Good presence of mind and a good chuck! I'm sure Chris told you about applying more outside brake pressure to avoid the collapse and spin.
