RIDE THE CORE: March 2007

http://skypuppet.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

Stories, all true, told by Brett Hardin, paraglider pilot and web designer. Saturday, March 17, 2007. Last Flight in OZ. I can't believe it, but today was my last flight in Oz, tomorrow we drive to Melbourne and Tuesday I fly back home. Speaking of back home, apparently the snow was really light this winter because our big XC site, Pine Mt., is being flown early this year, a pilot got to 3000 meters ASL a few days ago. Maybe I can get some airtime with the home boys soon. Posted by Brett Hardin @ 11:35 PM.

RIDE THE CORE: June 2007

http://skypuppet.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html

Stories, all true, told by Brett Hardin, paraglider pilot and web designer. Saturday, June 30, 2007. US Nationals - Day 7. Last night as we were BBQ'ing and tapping our toes to the Moon Mountain Ramblers, the wind backed off and the high cloud started to clear - it looked as if the trough causing all the high wind was passing over us. This morning the winds are light so far (10am) and I'd say we could have a task on the last day of the Nats. People are up on the hill already. UPDATE AT 2:30 PM:. I think ...

Stories, all true, told by Brett Hardin, paraglider pilot and web designer. Tuesday, May 29, 2007. One of my favorite things about flying cross country is the "unknown factor". Next month I am taking 3 weeks off to fly my guts out just because it's what I consider to be a life worth living. See you out there. Posted by Brett Hardin @ 5:49 PM. Links to this post.

RIDE THE CORE: December 2006

http://skypuppet.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html

Stories, all true, told by Brett Hardin, paraglider pilot and web designer. Thursday, December 28, 2006. Yesterday the sky was very overcast, but the temp trace was good enough to do some slow XC. Heike flew over 30k - I bombed out pretty soundly, so I chased her and got to watch her do a nice low save. But I found something and hung onto the slowest, scragglyiest, ugliest thermal I have gotten my wing dirty in for a long time. But it was much better than sinking out. The clouds were developing really ni...

RIDE THE CORE: April 2007

http://skypuppet.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html

Stories, all true, told by Brett Hardin, paraglider pilot and web designer. Thursday, April 19, 2007. Hey, it's almost spring in Oregon, today was a gorgeous day, so we flew Bingen which is a little site in Washington on the Columbia river. It was a lot bluer than I would have thought, but there was lots of cloud just across the river towards Mt. Hood. We thermalled for about an hour in small drifty cores. Tomorrow looks like more sunshine, then it's back to the rain for the weekend. Links to this post.

Stories, all true, told by Brett Hardin, paraglider pilot and web designer. Tuesday, October 31, 2006. The weather is like a thermal, it is constantly changing, always moving, ever fleeting, never the same as the day before. The forecast just teases us into hoping the conditions might be half as good as that one magic flight we had - how long ago now? Posted by Brett Hardin @ 4:17 PM. Links to this post.

RIDE THE CORE: February 2007

http://skypuppet.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html

Stories, all true, told by Brett Hardin, paraglider pilot and web designer. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Worlds 2007, Day 5. No chance of flying today, the sky is grey and it has been raining. People are still talking about how amazingly good the conditions were for the XC Open - I heard several top ranked pilots say it was the best week of flying they have ever had. There is a high pressure coming our way, which is what is needed to push this trough out. The weekend looks better. Links to this post.
