Help save point of the mountain!
Hey everyone, I'm sure many of you have flown Point of the Mountain (Steep Mountain), and if you haven't, you should! It's an amazing place to fly with an amazing group of pilots and the mountain is now being bulldozed. Please help support the Utah Hang Gliding & Paragliding Association to stop ...

Hey Steve, I was planning on going to Point of the Mountain this weekend but the locals say it's going to be blown out so I'm pushing it back a week. Were you planning on going the weekend of June 30th? I'm planning on heading up that way, so if you wanna fly, lemme know because I'm probably going t...

So, I was able to output my GPS track and import it into the following site: http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/index.html Seemed to work great, so I think I should be good. Please let me know if your program supports the Magellan Meridian format, otherwise, I'll bring my laptop to make the conversion. Th...

I have a magellan meridian gps that will save my track, and I've found a program that can convert my track file into other formats: http://www.gpsbabel.org/index.html What format would you need for me to convert to? I'd like to do a test track and send it your way to make sure you can open it to you...

Hi, I'd like to compete with my Falcon 3, but I've never done a contest before. I noticed that there's a GPS checkin - are there any specifics for a GPS? I have an old GPS that I think should work, otherwise I have my Android phone. Does anyone have a recommended app to use for Android that will wor...

What time this summer? The dates will decide if you go coastal or inland. Driving up the Owens, then hit Hat Creek, then do Lake View to Pine Mt. Or. then up to Chlean... It would be so epic, it would be epileptic. Or you could go coastal. Imagine hitting Torrey, then Bates, then Marina, then Funst...

I guess here's the real question: *Who* is calling Sylmar the world capital of hang gliding? If it's just us, then Janyce is completely correct in her statement. Now if there are other people *around the world* that also support this statement, then we are correct in having that line on our site. Ho...

Looking from hang gliding sites from LA to Canada!
Hey Everyone, I'm planning on doing a road trip from LA to Vancouver this summer, and I'd like to hit as many hang gliding spots along the way. I'm thinking I'll drive up the coast on the way there and then maybe head inland on the way back, but that may change. As for the range of locations I'm wil...

I think it's a great idea, but I'm sure you're going to hear other people say that you shouldn't rely on these kinds of visual aids because the majority of the time you probably won't have them (unless you fly Andy Jackson or anywhere else that had a VASI). That said, it would definitely take a lot ...

Looking for inflatable wheels
I have a falcon 3 and I'm looking for some inflatable wheels around 6-8 inches or so (or whatever the size is around that measurement).
Thanks!
Mike
Thanks!

Jonathan, You could be right about me marking a bad spot... I totally could have been doing that, but the other guy was flying along the ridge and would go around me on each pass and kept sinking lower and lower, so it was kinda obvious that there wasn't much else around. As far as multiple people t...

Well, that's the thing, there was no other spot to go, so it was sink or swim (I was swimming hard). He actually came across the dam about 400ft above me and then ended up sinking below me. I was making little gains, so I felt that I could make some headway, but it was slow. Now, as to why I was the...
