Well, it takes a little bit of skills and a good pair to make it, otherwise 110 pilots would be in goal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387695588027051936.post-48289103456692740142007-06-21T07:53:00.000-07:002007-06-21T07:53:00.000-07:00Right on, Nikki!!!

We all want to hear your story!<BR/><BR/>Everyday we learn lessons and see others learning lessons and hope to absorb a little more knowledge. well, let's see if it pays off with more people at goal. It is easy to think I should do this or that after you hit the ground, but it comes down to your decisions in the air (and even before) that make a difference in the score. For instance, I launched late and so I was late in reference to the gaggle, making thermal markings more difficult, and after analizing and comparing track logs in leonardo http://paraglidingforum.com/modules.php?name=leonardo&op=list_flights <BR/>I realize I went into the valley winds and missed a potencial triger (even though I thought I was there)... I hope I learn my lesson by launching early and pay more attention on where the winds are taking me.<BR/>Besides the comp talk I had a great time and was comfortable in the air, getting as high as 7500 and also sink close to 1000ft/m. We also had Mexican dinner with margaritas and talked story, but the highlight of the way was to see Nikki making goal for the very first time and be there for that, even though we had to drive there. Way to go, Nikki!!! Good luck today to all Hawaii pilots. Aloha, RayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
