Task deadline just ticked over at 1730. This is when the scoring stops. Matt Dadam relaunched and just top landed Monroe I believe in 6th place just before the deadline. Will it be enough for the win? None of the Pro Division athletes were able to make goal on a […]

The clock is ticking and the race to make goal in the pro class is really on. Can anyone get there in time before the 1730 task deadline? Chris Moody has just shown extraordinary skills and made goal in second in the Adventure class while up on top of Monroe […]
Flying nearly the identical course as the pros speed demon Erik Klammer took off this morning AN HOUR before anyone else while it was still blowing over the back and 95% of the field hadn’t even arrived launch after a record climb of Monroe Peak, tagged the Joseph turnpoint, ran […]
Well it’s a lot tougher out there than I thought. The sky is gorgeous, but the flats are proving tricky and we’ve yet to get one of the Pro Division guys back at Monroet to top land. Many of the Adventure pilots have tagged the Joseph turnpoint but it’s hard […]
Once again a gaggle of Adventure pilots are leading the charge and pushing out to tag the Joseph cylinder, about 10 km across the valley. From there they have to return to Monroe, then repeat it again.

The tasks are set, our Colorado crew crushed it to the Monroe launch once again, and Eric Klammer is first to launch three days in a row, today in a remarkable 52 minutes! It was blowing lightly over the back but that didn’t phase Eric and he styled it off […]
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen so much stoke and so many smiles at a flying competition. In fact I know I haven’t. Yesterday’s Adventure Division leading athletes were first to the top, first to launch, immediately dialed up to cloudbase several thousand feet above 10,000′ Mt Edna, stylishly showing […]
It’s getting really fun at the goal field at the Panguitch airport. We just had a run off between Reavis on the ground, and Jason in the air. Jason got him by the hair of his chubby chin chin!
When James landed, a stones throw into goal before Jesse Williams he said, “that was a religious experience!!”What a great day of racing and there’s still several pilots fighting hard to make it in. Patience is the name of the game and taking every bit of lift you can as […]
