Poor conditions, but a good looping photo over "his" salt flats.

Mark Gaskill running for Regional Director in Region 4?

I was the meet director for the 2006 Paragliding National in Sun Valley, Idaho. Mark Gaskill was assigned to be the scorekeeper by the meet organizer.

It is my opinion that Mark is not a person who should have any responsibility in the USHPA (although maybe he'll fit in with some of the other nuts jobs). He caused me no end of problems with respect to his errors in scoring and in the end appeared to me to have a very tenuous hold on rationality.

This past Sunday and Monday we had an incident here where pilots landed on the Dunlap Elementary School grounds after being specifically asked not to. Sunday the LZ was being utilized by a church group and Monday school was in session.

Touring in Australia, continued

Having a good time. Day three was ok, a little windy. We waited, but it wouldn’t back off, so we flew for an hour hanging around the western launch until a massive sink cycle came through. Many of us got hammered.

Show your friends what it's like to fly
