Hey guys, Got pretty bored today and didn't want to be stuck indoors being a bum so a friend and I went for a drive with my rig. We found some nice big rolling grass covered hills near Bald Peak. I had never tried it before...winds were pretty light and the hill could have been steeper cause I ran my as off! haha.. Anyways, I've watched a few instructional vids and read some of the threads here but just couldn't seem to get off the ground. I think with better conditions I may have got a bit of flight. Is there anyone experienced here that lives near Portland and would possibly come out to give me some instruction? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks
Thanks stu!!! I think I've met Dan, but can't picture him. Do you know if he's on this site and what his handle might be? I talked to a guy that paraglides up at Tiger Mtn. near Seattle. He said that's a great spot...Don't know if I want to drive that far though. As much as I think these instructions rock: http://www.bigairsportz.com/art-groundlaunch.php I really would like to get some actual training. Especially with only 55 jumps under my belt, granted they were all in about a 3 month period! I feel I'm advanced for the number of jumps, but if there's one thing I have learned from skydiving it's; You don't fook around when it comes to canopy control. I really enjoyed Doug Fourth's beginner canopy course, just wish I would have had time to take the advanced course.
