I was at torrey not long ago and saw Bob in the parking lot watching everyone fly. I walked over to talk to him and found out that he was not allowed on the property and that is why he was watching the action from the parking lot barrier. If Bob is not even allowed on the property I would get too ex...

Obviously this is a guy who was swimming in the Pacoima reservoir, got sucked up by the firefighting helicopter, and got dumped on launch. I'm surprised you freekin' geniuses (geneii?) hadn't figured it out sooner. Dibs on his clean socks. I think making fun of this situation is in very poor taste ...

Ron's tracklog to Crestline

Ron asked me to upload these tracklogs for him so others could see the flight and how to actually fly to Crestline from Kagel. We looked at it in GoogleEarth together and he pointed out the available LZs along the way and the critical points of the flight. Nice work Ron (and others). Thanks. The fil...

I have the largest size lara gold chute in my matrix race - fits fine and is comfortable. I have also pulled the chute several times and parachute clinics and have had no problems at all getting it out - like butter. I have been flying this harness for two years now and it is not only super comforta...

Electra - it is descriptive of the incident, it is not too emabarassing, easy to remember, and kinda sexy...

I vote Electra.

If it were a guy I would have to recommend "Edison".

Hell, I knocked myself out cold landing once at Chelan while people were taking photos (there is actually a photo of me feeling to see if my teeth were stil...

We continued to race another 190km and my hands were sore the next day from holding on so tight to the basebar. One thing the write...
