snakepit friday

[Aaron]

always wanted to roll a speed wing off skyport to the snakepit, so today seemed as good as any for that. parked at the monestary notch and hitched a ride up. light cycles at skyport but easy run off on the 16 meter hybrid. a few turns and i was in the snakepit less then 2 minutes later. easy 20 minute walk downhill back to my van. saw the eagle crew up forever over rr and thermal factory as i rolled around town.

todays checklist:
-take half day at work...check
-helmet...check
-16 meter glider... check
-water...check
-running shoes...check
-visualize good things....check

I've done that flight a couple of times on a full size wing, and I think I was down in less than 2 minutes !!
