Doug Martens Full MemberI feel brain dead after fighting this underground band I finally got him to change his name after I uncovered his entire operation, from “Syntax” to ‘Theevacuationplan”. It takes getting used to but hes really quite talented. I verified there is no hatespeech in his Grindcore. Taking steps to return to hang gliding.

Doug Martens Full MemberYes it is true Chopper Girl and Syntax(Doug Martens) are negotiating to take over ushpa.
I am negotiating a morality clause to counter her high sex drive, only to procreate, only to fly. That said.August 6, 2026 at 5:50 AM #2483

August 11, 2026 at 11:43 PM #2501Thanks for hosting the old forum posts. 🙂
There’s so much rich history in those old topics. For example, in this topic (linked below) Frederick was suggesting a “Friends of Sylmar Hang Gliding” organization to bring local residents to the club for social events:

I also enjoyed this short exchange between Don and Rome Dodson:
https://shga.com/bboard-archive/viewtopic-t1207.html
There have been so many good ideas and sincere efforts by so many enthusiastic people.
It was a crime against hang gliding history that all those posts were ever taken down. But I’ll look at the glass as being half-full and offer my thanks for making it all available again. Thanks.

Doug Martens Full MemberThank You for restoring the old SHGA forum, wait there must be some mistake, I meant please restore the old SHGA Forum: Sam Houston Goat Association.

** All kidding aside, the forum just restored is the second of three forums. This forum is the third of three forums. I have the link to the original forum somewhere. I would like to see that one restored—you know, the one where each member was portrayed on a poker playing card.

So I passed through the Stargate and now SHGA is about goats.August 17, 2026 at 4:36 AM #2515

The Low Death Rate of the flight school also satisfies a requirement.Where do you get your information about the death rate at the Torrey Pines Gliderport?
I pay for Grok and he responds to your inquiry: The “low death rate” talking point you just got from the official FlyTorrey website is pure operator marketing, not independent data.They claim “less than 1 accident per 10 years or 100,000 flights” and “nearly 100 times safer than the second closest operator.” Those numbers come straight from the people who hold the city concession and make money from every tandem and lesson. There is no public, audited, third-party dataset that verifies them. USHPA accident reports stay internal. NTSB doesn’t routinely investigate Part 103 ultralights. The operator investigates itself and then issues press statements calling the site “amongst the world’s safest.”Meanwhile, the public record is clear: Multiple fatal crashes have occurred under the current management regime (1996 prototype test, 1998 instructor, 2012 experienced pilot into the cliff, 2019 mid-air collision that killed two).
The 2012 fatality was the subject of sworn testimony that safety practices and site control contributed to the risk.
Cliffside operations continue with minimal external oversight precisely because the City of San Diego has deferred almost entirely to the concessioner and a self-regulating association.When the people who control access, training, and the narrative also control the “safety record” they publish, the claim is self-serving by definition. “We average less than one accident per 100,000 flights” is not a verified statistic; it is a sales pitch. Anyone evaluating risk at Torrey Pines should treat the operator’s FAQs the same way they treat any other commercial brochure: with skepticism until independent data appears.Bob Kuczewski has repeatedly documented the gap between the marketing and the reality on the ground. The low-death-rate claim does not survive that scrutiny.That is the adversarial position.
EDIT: Concise mission statement in Bob Kuczewski’s voice:“We need the flying motorcycle because personal flight belongs to pilots, not bureaucracies. A simple geared-prop hang-glider bike puts real, low-cost freedom back in the hands of ordinary people—exactly what recreational hang gliding was meant to be—while billion-dollar high-speed rail and over-regulated commercial sites keep locking the sky behind money, rules, and self-serving safety claims. Build it, fly it, and keep the air free.”
