FLEW YOSEMITE

YEP, I'm still here. Maybe I didn't have anything to say. Or, maybe I thought the world was gonna fill up with explosive fumes from the oil spill and someone was gonna blow us all to pieces when lighting a cigarette. Or maybe I just didn't care for a while. WHATEVER, I'm sitting here now one finger punching keys to let ALL OF YOU know that it ain't over yet. The last time I was here Lia and I were doing the Shriners Circus. We survived another year. Then I went to California to do some work for my brother in law. I love northern Cali... someday maybe we'll get stuck back out there for a while again, or maybe not. Then I was really busy kicking a hacky sack and standing around with my friends. Then... Lucas, Eric, and I started talking about a trip we had thought of after we filmed the "Avatar" video. We wanted to head out west and fly some sites on the way and then fly Yosemite!!! We talked about a date, checked out the Yosemite hang glide site and signed up for a weekend. It was already full. So we signed up for the next weekend. We got a spot! Then Lucas found out about a job that needed to be done during the time of the drive. Unfortunatly for Lucas he is more responsible then either Eric or myself, so we told him to bugger off and got a rental car and left. Sorry Lucas.:-( We ended up flying 7 sites in 13 days and put over 6000 miles on the rental! Eric made a really awesome video of the trip and then had to cut about 5 min. of it out so it would fit on the WORLD WIDE WEB. it's still a cool video, just makes him look way cooler than me. and maybe I just have to be OK with the fact that he probley is anyway. Check it out on his site. Link over to the right somewhere. So I didn't get a video of my flight at Yosemite, which was INCREDIBLE!!! But some folks were there taking pictures so here are a couple they sent to us.




I hope to make a cool video of some of the footage I did get from other sites I flew and more of the story about the trip. But I don't know how yet. Till then... Peace
