Team Challenge 2009 starts Sunday September 27th and ends Saturday October 3rd. We'll have the same emphasis on learning and mentoring with multiple seminars from the experts and video launch and landing clinics every day. We hope to have great food and entertainment on site so no one has to leave our beautiful property except for cross country retrieval.

Round One is Done!

Submitted by Lucas Ridley on Sun, 11/23/2008 - 11:23.

I made it to the next round in the Excedrine contest! If you go there today and vote it shows my video thumbnail moved up in the bracket! Thanks to everyone's support and effort on this, thanks to Davis for posting it on the Oz report!

Make comments to this post and tell me what YOU would do with $15,000! I think I already have some ideas, but want to hear yours.

Excedrine Finals - Two more days

So the way it looks is you can only vote for me or the other guy for this round (when you hit next video, ours are the only two available). So today and tomorrow's voting is going to determine if I make the next round, then it looks like there are 3 more head-to-head votings of the other videos, times 3 days each equals 9 days. So if I make the next round voting for me will start again on Dec. 2nd.

Yesterday's flight

Submitted by Lucas Ridley on Thu, 10/16/2008 - 08:39.

Got about an hour yesterday, thanks to Marc Fink for showing me where lift was, I think he was too low to get it and he landed, but thanks to him, I knew where to go. I climbed out to about 2,000' over launch looking at all the gliders in the lz I thought I would be the only one to get up, but I noticed a glider about 800' higher than me! It was Greg Heckman of course. I launched at about 4:00 from the Bandit so I'm sure Greg launched much earlier. I only had about one more climb and got to 3,000' over launch to cloudbase.
