More Towing

Chandler Papas came up for some tows the other day. Chris and Scott made it out also. It was a good quick session but everyone had fun and the boys had a good time watching Chandler throw down some acro.

Earn Your Turn

Its easy to forget your roots some times.

Today I went for a quick walk up Sheba for a late morning flight.

Don't forget that this is how the sport was born. Just ignore the fact that I walked up a road. Still every view is worth mention like to the east towards Leupp.

The reward of more views and the flight down are always worth a little sweat.

Merriam Crater from the top of Sheba. The flight to the truck took 10 minutes. I was rewarded with a light thermal 400 ft over the truck that stole the photo I was hoping to finish with as I was a bit busy having fun.

Still Going

Here we are deep in the heart of winter and having a lot of action. From towing on the Rez to great flights from the hill, the action just never ends around here.

Teachin, Towin & Snowin

I've had a great fall with students and friends. Winter is knocking hard on the door and looks like we'll be skiing soon. A couple major storms will effect northern AZ Saturday the 13th through Friday the following week. I guess we are going under. I'm looking forward to some cold long ridgesoaring flights and some great skiing. We have also been towing a bit again and are having lots of fun. Happy Holidays

More Balloon Shots

Page Balloon Fest.

Ever do something that is much more fun and suprising than you could have imagined. This past weekend Laura and I spent with Pell and Stacy Wadleigh and helped crew for them at the Page Hot Air Ballon Regata. A great event that brought out a huge crowd and over 30 Balloons. I learned a ton and we both got a flight.
