Like a small excited child, posting up raw runs. Learning something new is fun and digging speedflying. We had a nice 3 mph head wind, did a nice reverse kite to forward run attack. First time running off a hill around Lake Isabella. Always a bit scary first flight of the day in a new spot.... not quiet sure how far the wing will go and where you will be landing. Best to take the first flight chill. Running off mtns / hills gets the heart going. Was hoping perhaps to make the road but half way through the flight knew the field was going to be a better option and would be cutting it a bit too close to make it across the road, plus there is a nice fence to run into if you don't make it, hahaha. Jon my mentor yeah boy, more flights to come, getting more comfortable, bigger mtns shall be flown.
