This is a great video - very inspiring. I love his quote, "It's never to late to have a happy child-hood".

First Flights of 2011

Posted Sun, 04/03/2011 - 22:05 by Mark Dowsett

Three of us went out today to get our gear out of storage and made sure it was all working. Our main sod field isn't close to being dry yet but the neighbouring alfalfa field is open to use when the crop is low. We got in seven flights between Ryan (3), me (Mark - 2) and Nick (2). Sorry Nick for not getting your flights on video, I thought I hit record on the last one. Nick had better landings than Ryan and I, I guess we taught him well and even operated the winch better!

Dear GroupOn'ers,

Thanks for joining us to experience hang gliding! You are in for a real treat!

We'd like to provide you with a little more background and information about us at Instinct and hang gliding. Since you are going to be working close with us sometime over the next six months, and need to build some mutual trust, we should probably introduce ourselves! Instinct's owners and professional instructors are:

'New' Sport2-155 for a great deal

Posted Thu, 03/31/2011 - 00:32 by Instinct

We have a new sail for a WillsWing Sport2-155 en-route to us to put on a used frame. It's a great deal on a 'brand-new' glider...I even got a fresh new glider bag for it!

This is the colour scheme:

* however, the leading edge is NOT Hydranet

This glider new would be:
$4575us - base price
$150us - custom colours
$220us - packaging and shipping
= $4945us + taxes

Glider Selection - and other fundamental information

In preparation of the upcoming flying season, I've been talking to lots of last year's students and helping them make decisions into getting their own gear to continue on with their flying. It's not an easy process and of course there are many routes to go and may opinions to consider. There is a healthy discussion going on right now on the OzReport that you should find interesting...it was initiated by a new hang gliding student trying to figure out their first glider to fly.

Dude, I think that was your Dad...

Red Bull Winch Sessions

Posted Sun, 01/16/2011 - 23:07 by Instinct

I always find it amazing how well Red Bull markets simple stuff and makes it cool. They are using the same sort of winches we use for our training and towing for paragliding, wake-boarding and snow-boarding. We should be breaking out our gear this winter and having some fun with it!
