15 Feb 10 - Olympic Spirit   -  After my run and workout this morning I had to take advantage of another great day to carve up the air l've been flying my Walkerjet Airwolf and my SD.

 

These two paramotors are completely different in relation to the type of launch due to the attachment point. This morning I flew the SD and completed about 30 take off and landing's consisting of light reverse and forward launches.  The weather here in California is outstanding, what a place to fly!!  Now time to watch the Olympics, Go Canada Go!!

 

 

 

12 Feb 10 - Evening Flight  -  Nice evening sunset flight. I've been taking advantage of the Salton Sea air and flying several times daily. This eveing the Sunset was very nice so I decided to capture the moment.

1 Feb 10 - Sand Dunes  - This afternoon, Leslie, Johanne and I took a drive to the sand dunes in Glamis, California. Their were approximately 25 pilots this evening camping in the desert enjoying themselves. I took my Go Pro video camera and shot some video but unfortunately I had it adjusted too low so the footage was not great. But the flying was incredible!!

31 Jan 10 - ParaToy's Fly-In  - Last night we had a wonderful time at the banquette hosted by Michelle Danielle and Paul Anthem.  Most of the vendors were packing up but that didn't stop pilots from flying all day.  Leslie and I few in the afternoon and evening.  I took Johanne up on the trike and see enjoyed the evening sunset.

 

30 Jan 10 - ParaToy's Fly-In  - Today was competition day in which consisted of just two events, the cloverleaf and the spot landing.  Most competitors done fairly well but the top three winners were: (1) Chad Bastian with a very good run who completed the course with no penalties; (2) Dean Eldridge (UK ) who did very well but fell during his spot landing; and (3) Paul Linquist who again did very well but had slipped on the plastic spot when he touched down during the spot landing. During the Bear Drop, Johanne caught two bears this year and the last two kites during the Kiting War was Jeff Goin and the winner went to Chad Bastian.  Johanne and I took the Xenit Trike out for a very nice evening tandem flight.  Johanne filmed the evening flight with our new GoPro professional wearable HD camera and I'm going to make a video of the area.

 

29 Jan 10 - ParaToy's Fly-In  -  Eric did a demonstration run for the USPPA Competition later on in the morning.  Today is the practice run to try out the course. There are

several competitors this year including Dean Eldridge from the UK Paramotor team.  It was great flying today, followed by a very nice evening flight.   Afterwards we had a

beach bonfire and watched videos from Phil Russman. Great time!!

 

28 Jan 10 - ParaToy's Fly-In  -  This morning the sun was out and it was quite windy.  Later in the evening the winds came down and everyone was happy to fly.  According to Michelle from ParaToy's they have approximately 180 registered pilots. There's plenty of new equipment on the line including the Parajet Rotron (Rotary engine).  Everyone had a great flight!!
