Thanksgiving 09 Toplandings
The winds were light from the NE @ 2 to 8mph.Adam hiked over and placed Orange streamers on His New LZ before the landing attempts were made, We launched the main ridge around 13:00 sankout to the front ridge "Adams LZ"Adam toplanded and I followed about 10min later.then we started doing 2 min flights and toplanding, Adam got 5 & I got 3 toplandings .We landed Uphill towards the East .It was alot of fun. Afterward I headed to the Kagel LZ For some GREAT Turkey,Ham & fix-ins. Thanks to Chip & "Chef Dana" for a great Supper and to every one that contributed.

Nice work Oscar! And great video too! Looks like ideal conditions. Don't try that at Marshall Peak until you are an expert. As everyone will soon know, I got my nose mashed in pretty good today at Marhsall along with a broken left DT when I pancaked in due to coming in to slow and hitting the gradient. That portion of Ave. S looks just super for uphill landing practice. Marhsall is a whole other ball of whacks. {pun intended}
Cheers, Jonathan

Thanks Jonathan ,I'm sorry to hear about your injuries,are you going to post the video . and thanks for the reminder that toplanding is dangerous and even the experts can get hurt . Which glider were you flying ------it wasn't the Sport 2 was it Nice Video Adam .that's an old editing technique I learned from my buddy Jonathan It works well ,at least until the second video surfaces
