phone number please

Hey, could somebody post Erwin's cellphone number? Or does he have a room number and what hospital? I would love to try to call him.
Thanks,

another critical error

Uh, it just may be me, but I think he also failed to keep his hands low. As the glider lifted, his hands were too high, so he could not pull in on the right to reestablish control. Instead, he tried jumping to getting his hands on the base tube, and the nose popped up even more as a result. Just IMHO.

Uh, I think it's from your mouth to God's ear, but what to I know? One other thought...how about posting less "exciting bail-out-glad-I-didn't-die-this-time" videos and more exciting "cool flight with calm, predictable landings nowhere near power lines or boulders" videos? I want...

alti-hawko-meter: Have you seen this? Cool!

Apparently, these paraglider pilots have solved the problem of having to change batteries on altimeters by using trained hawks instead!

A plug for Mitch McAleer's great work

Hey all, Here's a video showing my glider with the new leading edge custom courtesy of Mitch McAleer (Hope I'm spelling that right). He did a terrific job and let me keep the glider that I really enjoy. Oh yeah, and it's also a shameless plug for my music. Go viral and help Mitch and me both! :o) Th...

Cool smooth jazz music AND narration. Who knew the narration of a broken toe could sound so much like a lounge? :o)

Wow. Great glider footage! But as for the Commodores on those superimposed parts...mili vanali would be ashamed of their awful lip sinc. Sheesh! At least try to get the mic closer to your mouths! :lol:

Can anyone post Olivia's address? Maybe I missed it. It would probably be nice if SHE got a card or two!

So that was you mocking me by consistently out-climbing me!

Well that's funny, because I thought I heard you got over 6000 and I only got to 4700. Those pictures must have just been at funny angles that made it LOOK like I was above! :D

Agreed! I was not saying they are are the same and I was definitely not saying the earth run is preferable. I think the moon walk is preferable, and I wish I could really master it. But then, if I could get to fly more than twice a year, perhaps I'd have more success! Hopefully I will see you out th...
