What heart! After taking to the skies first our first bad ass Adventure pilots made quick work of the course, spiraled down to the last turnpoint and RAN to goal! Erik Klammer was in such a hurry he didn’t even pack up- over the shoulder and down the road! Jared […]

The Adventure pilots continue to show their winged brethren how it’s done and took to the sky first and instantly boomed out, to much yahoo’s and hollering. This task is going to be completed FAST! Keep an eye on the live tracking, this is full bar racing at its best!
Well our usual ground crushers have already arrived at the top! Once again mountain goat Eric Klammer really put the pedal to the metal and arrived first in a crazy 1:28- 1200 meters and 8km and a ridiculous lead on our Pro class! These guys are fit! The thought yesterday […]

As Dadam starts to make his move to the next tp (Big Lake) William Pardis, Logan Walters and Cedar Wright have just arrived the turpoint on foot. Dadam is the only pilot thus far who has top landed the waypoint. It looks like it’s going to be hard work to […]
