Hang Gliding 1st flight at Bremer Ridge

Date Oct 19th 2014
Site: Bremer (near Morton, Washington)
AGL: 2300ft

We left Morton,WA airport around 11:00 headed up to Bremer. Larry and I launched in a approx 15mph SSE gusty cross winds around 2:30pm and I be able to climbed straight up to 300 ft over launch while Larry got 700ft over. The wind speed was producing turbulent conditions along Bremer ridge which made us feel uncomfortable so we both flew for about 30mins before heading to land. Once we were away from the launch (ridge), the air became butter smooth allowing us to make an easy no wind landing.

There were multiple launch spots and all doable for hangs. I think one of the launch was facing west. Others were faced South or SW if I'm correct. I hope we get to fly Bremer more before the road gets covered up by snow. Thanks again to Larry, Tina , Dave and Diana show me such a great thermal site !

1 flight 2 hrs/ Get high at Peterson Butte 10-13-14

Peterson was great today (Oct13th 2014) with the sweet pre-frontal conditions Kory, Gabe, Zac Majors and I can easily got up to 1500 to 2000ft above east side upper launch . Zac Majors jumped to the back side and flew 20 plus miles all the way to near Salem, OR.

1 flight 1 hour / Landing sequence at Rampart on Oct 10th 2014

This video is the last few minutes of my landing sequence at Rampart on Oct 10th 2014.
A total of 10 hang pilots flew. (no paragliders) It was absolutely another epic day at Rampart. The launch condition was not too strong (8-12mph straight up) which allowed everyone to self launch. The thermals were mixed with ridge lifts, it was fairly smooth while popping off all the way through the end of the Rampart ridge. We were all able to climb easily to the cloud base without a problem and made it to the the end of the Rampart cliff wall. My instrument indicated topping over 4000ft above launch (approx 8000 ft above see level) and it was freezing cold. The landing was a bit rowdy but we all managed to land safely.
