Hang glider or paraglider down a few days ago?
My friend who works for the fire department at the Tujunga Station said they got report of a crash with injuries seeking assistance somewhere near the Tujunga mountains. He was not on duty at the time so doesn't know the details. Anybody know what happened?

two hour of flying and only one thermal!
Seems very unusual for Kagel. Flight on Tuesday May 25th, 2:00 pm Windsports truck. Unfortunately a very think and very high cloud layer formed before we were able to launch. Pretty strong wind, enough to ridge soar some of the features if you flew slow and carefully and had a good sink rate. Very u...

Re: Saturday's incident
H Vrezh, I am so glad to hear you were able to get safely to the ground and our flying family was able to help so effectively with the emergency. Now in the aftermath, I can't imagine the emotions you are going through - fear? frustration? hopefulness? worry? determination? In any case, kudos for on...

Sylmar 2018 Highlights
actually medium-lights. The best clips were published in 2018. But before I purged my hard drive of 2018 video, I pulled out these few remaining clips.

Argg - why is the LA Forest closed this weekend? No current fires and no Santa Anas. Grrr.

Late Evening Surprise Thermal
yesterday, 5/21/2020 was pretty rough with punchy thermal and/or converging air starting with some climbs reaching 600 fpm behind Big T. Then a couple hours later, mellower stuff up to 400 fpm. Then at almost 5 pm, close to the LZ (out in front of Scooters), I stumbled across one reaching 900 fpm (o...

chad's absense
Hey folks, my close nit mountain biking family has been asking one at a time, so thought I might proactively reach out to any members of our close nit hang gliding family who read this forum. I tore up my hamstring while pulling up waterskiing in July. I attempted a non surgical recovery (big mistak...

flying in very smokey air last Saturday, Nov 10, 2018
Saturday was after most of the fires died down. By the late afternoon the SW west had really brought all the smoke in. I think I heard a jab "its like san bernardino" oh snap. This was a demo flight of an Rx3.5. I spent the first 30 min well below the first bowl trying to get up. Not the g...
