Llegando el otoño y el frio a Chamonix, decidimos ir a España a buscar el Sol y visitar a la familia.

When the summer has gone, we decide to go to spain to visit the family and find the sunny days.

‘Streamlined 08′ The Film - Release!

Wolfgang Pilch of Team Silver in Austria has created one of the most beautifully shot paragliding short films we have ever seen. With highly technical camera angles, full HD widescreen, and some impressive editing, 'Streamlined 08' is destined to become a favorite of any paraglider pilot who likes to think outside the box when it comes to launching techniques and flying maneuvers!

Dusty Rhodes Paragliding

I finally got around to editing the footage that Dusty shot for me a couple of weeks ago. Nothing to special on the edit here. I basically just picked out 10 minutes of clips and rendered a video of them.

I reccomend going over to Vimeo for the HD version of the video

2009 PG NTSS Points

Yes....2009 points!

I'm jumping the gun and being proactive for a change....I converted/imported my Excel spreadsheet for the PG NTSS scores into Google Docs. It's my first time using Google Docs and I'm impressed the functionality of their online apps.

You can view the sheet at:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=py1-vwiwrWmevnhAPDPhkRg

And I'll hopefully be updating the scores more often as comps happen and you'll be able to see the scores online as they are updated!

I can also collaborate and give others edit-ability...how cool is that!

Enjoy.
