That’s awesome. We certainly appreciate the support! We love this site and want to keep it going for many years to come. As a non-profit organization with unpaid volunteers, we could always use as much backing as possible, so we can keep maintaining and improving the place.

We were watching, thanks for controlling the camera to keep us on top of the action. 😄

“Weather & Gossip” page

On mobile, it’s a bit of a hassle to look for the most recent/active topics. What I’m hearing is that people want the front page (or -a- page they can bookmark) to contain weather info AND active topics in one, the two most important things for most active members. They want their weather and gossip in one. That way they don’t have to bookmark two or three different pages to get the info they’re looking for.

The mobile page has the recent/active topics all the way at the bottom of the page, and the list of forum topics are listed twice. Also there are two forum “search” bars on the same page, which seems redundant and requires extra scrolling.

I don’t know if we can make these changes without ruining something else, but that’s what the problem for some people seems to be.

I’ve seen multiple screw-up videos from this place! Must be some awful instruction at that site.

Fun fact: I’ve heard that we have a reserve toss simulator located near the LZ. Never seen it myself, I think it’s located on the Ranch property, but I should go check it out next time I’m out there and report back.

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! 🦅😍
