Hey Guys!

Been down here in Bishop this winter, flying my speed wing here in the hills. Been having tons of fun learning this new game. Have had a ton of fun, some good flights, and a close call or two. Check out these videos, I hope you guys like them. If so, send the link out so other people can see them too. The Table Mountain video is from just yesterday.

And if you are a speed wing pilot as well, get a hold of me and come fly in the Sierra!

The wing is an Ozone XT-16 (a 16 meter Bullet), and I weigh 195 lbs. Some of my friends fly smaller wings than mine, but they are a bit smaller in size too! Am looking to get a 12 meter Bullet for next winter, but for foot launching, the XT is as small as I want to land for another hundred or so flights. Great wing, I highly recommend it!
