If you want to make a bit of $ and have a truck, a dolly....

a furniture dolly, a ramp (for the back of the truck), and lots of epic beastly hang glider pilot strength.... I am looking to move a spinet piano from castaic to pasadena. The piano is free, I just need to move it. Obviously my corolla (and arms) are not up to the task. If you have a decent pickup ...

Which mount(s) for a gopro?

Question I'm sure has been asked before. I'm looking at getting a gopro hero3 white edition and am wondering what mount setup I should purchase. What has worked for you guys?

red bull flugtag in long beach

Group set a new distance record in the red bull "flugtag" in long beach (which is mostly people just falling into the water as their invention crumbles around them) using what looked strikingly (to me, feel free to disagree) like in icarus 5 although with massive wingtips: http://www.youtu...

I launched walts around 1030 before the OD got super scary and tried to punch through 11k around wynoga but couldn't quite get there (was probably doable but I was alrea...

What are the current thoughts on the camping situation? I wouldn't mind a yosemite trip but it seems tad unclear if i would actually have a place to camp or stay if I drove up there.... edit: Lots of room at crane flat but the drive up to glacier point is significantly longer from there.
