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 […]
Bill Belcourt somehow figured out a way. As several pilots have hit the deck on the way to goal at the Panguitch airport Bill got out front and stayed there and has just saved his feet from additional blisters. Matt Dadam has just landed a few hundred meters short, preserving […]
Well it’s gone from gangbusters to breaking up the gang. Those pushing out to TP 5 left with good height but they are pushing a west head wind and coming to the TP with very little height to work with. William Pardis and Bill Belcourt tagged the turnpoint at nearly […]
The Pro Division pilots are all within less than 8 km from the lead to the back. They all had to land at the third tp near the Junction launch and by the time I raced up to see if they needed anything just about all of them were back […]
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 […]
The task committee has decided to start the day at the Bullion Falls trailhead. Athletes will then have to climb 1200 meters and 8km to the Mt Edna Launch. The Adventure Division task is 39 km that takes pilots from Mt Edna out to a big cylinder NNW of Junction […]
