World Championships, a day off

Today's hang gliding, Task 7



Here's what we do when it's too windy for a hang gliding task:

How many hang gliding tandems would it take to earn $300,000 USD?

Klaus was very good to Dustin, Conrad, and I.... taking us each for a 2 hour blaze through the guts of the mountains, lee-side included.

It was world-class fun, but still couldn't rank as high as HANG GLIDING:

Fresh-air in the face.

Weight shift controls

Comfortable harness, no compression on my spine.
and so on....(trust me)
