What a day! Stephen took me on a wild and crazy tandem adventure with his new Ozone Magnum 3. We got up from the 750 all the way up to 7,400ft. It was super cold! Thermals and gloves were no match for the elements up there. Going backwards in high winds, frontal collapse, near-miss with an airliner, spirals, wing-overs, barrel rolls,… I’ll never forget it!!! 😄

Wow, awesome! Such a good feeling to get that save. 🙌

So far I’ve only had that happen to me once, where I was getting ready to land and then found something at the last minute to take me back up to 4,000 ft. 😄

I had a pretty good flight Sunday myself! I got 1.5 hours and never got sick, but the sun was getting low and it got too cold for me to try and stay up longer. Here’s my GPS track

Oh….ANNNNDDD….. I was thermaling with a red tailed hawk for the very first time!!! He was so close to me at eye-level (maybe like 5 yards away) and we were doing circles together. Damn I wish I had a GoPro on my head that day. Hopefully next time! It was so magical! 🦅😍

Ugh!! That sucks! I had something similar happen to me in a local grass field. I was kiting my then brand new wing, when a dude and his unleashed giant poodle-looking dog came up. The dog started running through my lines, got tangled, panicked, and could have easily torn the glider. The dumbdumb just watched his dog and I struggling, instead of immediately grabbing him and getting the heck outta there. He was apologetic, but how about instead of watching, you come take control of your panicked animal? Clearly it hasn’t been trained to behave off-leash. By now our dogs know better than to get near gear, but you never know what to expect with strangers. :-/
