LANDCOR on our team!

Dave and I are very appreciative of Tony Lang from Landcor. He has pledged his support to our XAlps team. I am trying to train when school does not get in the way. Started running even though I dont like running. I got fit in Chile for the 3 months I was there doing research on Volcano Villarica. I made 28 5000ft ascents with heavy gear. I hope to get more flying in soon here in cali. On google earth I can fly the whole XAlps in under 10 minutes!!! I had my first XAlps dream so I guess this comp is really starting to go to my head. Time to go to sleep.

Flying an Axis Wing in the X -Alps

I will be flying a light weight Axis Venus in the X-Alps with a light harness and reserve. The folks at Axis have been great to me since even before I got into the X-Apls and I have been enjoying great flights on my Axis Mercury. I love spring time flying in California!!! Recently got some super lightweight running shoes and an ultralight backpack. I have been hiking biking and flying as a part of my training.Sunk out yesterday with an epic sky overhead. I hate it when that happens. Fourteen years flying and still learning.
