First real launch on my new wing was great. I got 2 shorter flights while everyone else got much longer flights. I'm fine, I need the practice and a lot more kiting. It is a lot more touchy in the air and not a big boat overhead like my old wing. Hope to sell it soon.

I’ll never forget the thrill of flying my new 120 ft.² sport parachute for the first time, after flying a 150 and a 135 for many months. It was so aggressive that you could induce line twists if you yanked on a steering toggle too abruptly. My buddy Dean was really pushing it and was flying a 98. It looked like a handkerchief over his head. Different sport, but it’s amazing when it becomes your trusted companion and you know exactly how it responds. Some of the best memories of my life are doing high hop and pops from 12,500 on the sunset load, watching the sun set on the distant horizon over the Pacific, with Mt. Baker in the distance with just the peak illuminated, and darkness already having set in on the ground.

My dreams are of being at cloud base and gliding from streak to streak. This wing is hot and I've got some serious work to do to figure it out but with the pod harness I have on the way it will make or break me. I am unable to continue advancing in a standard harness that has free legs. I NEED the pod, it's the cockpit feel of an airplane over a bosun's chair under a pillow in the sky. Nicely my fellow pilots fly a pod for just that reason.

Haha. Gear begets gear.

Can’t seem to zap you my man
