Boeris 0 #1 November 3, 2008 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! Thankswww.theflystyle.com "When once you have tasted flight you will always walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward: for there you have been and there you will always be." -L.D.

Boeris 0 #3 November 4, 2008 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.www.theflystyle.com "When once you have tasted flight you will always walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward: for there you have been and there you will always be." -L.D.
