A happy Christmas thrash

 

  I managed to avoid organising for a half day this weekend and found myself on Whitesheet's SW bowl with a 12ms icey wind in my face.

  Simply fun ripping around the sky and realising how bumpy the air can get is you drop below head height..

  A week away next week with the family but my addiction is showing as I start to look at the long range forecasts for the Wooleybacks weekend.

Winter madness

 I'm sure that this is the point where I should be waxing about the performance and behaviour of the Sakers.  But if I didn't think they flew great I wouldn't have flown them for 4 years.  The confidence that they give me as I launch into just about any conditions is what I really love about the Saker.

  With temperatures dropping and the wind blowing a damp 20ms it was never going to be a long session. When the air did come good, the 3.4kg models just ripped through the air.



 Safe to say slope dogs were less pleased with the conditions as the showers came through!


  Time for a warm lunch!
