Pilot Needs Ride: Back
http://pilotneedsride.blogspot.com/2011/04/back.html
Slayin' It ACP Style. Monday, April 11, 2011. My previous bad landing, rain, speed gliding, and some really great skiing conditions have all added up to keep me on the ground the last 6 weeks. Sunday I got back on the horse, fighting a bit of anxiety, and had some nice flights at Funston. Nothing much to say about it. The conditions were perfect and I took 3 flights to blow of the cobwebs.

Pilot Needs Ride: Flying 2/12 & 2/13
http://pilotneedsride.blogspot.com/2011/02/flying-212-213.html
Slayin' It ACP Style. Sunday, February 13, 2011. Flying 2/12 and 2/13. Some decent looking flying weather came over the bay area this weekend. And while it didn't turn out to be as good as hoped, it was a nice weekend with 3 flights and wonderful green winter hills. Another cold winter day in California. The beach was huge, so I decided to have some fun landing and do a fast approach over the surf. Chris, of course, had to show me up with a solid beat up approach. Dirk Morris. The man; The myth. No kiddi...

Pilot Needs Ride: 2012
http://pilotneedsride.blogspot.com/2012/01/2012.html
Slayin' It ACP Style. Monday, January 2, 2012. I did not get to fly much in 2011. Work kept me away from family, away from friends, and away from hang gliding. I don't know if 2012 will be different, but it at least got off to a great start. Saturday, CRV, Wayne, JT and I hit Ed Levin. No spectacular conditions, but fun flights regardless. Chris and I hit a top landing on the 1200' hill and got fly-bys from JT and Wayne. Beer and food followed the flying. Edit: Now on Vimeo! First Flights of 2012.

Pilot Needs Ride: Big Fat McClure
http://pilotneedsride.blogspot.com/2012/02/big-fat-mcclure.html
Slayin' It ACP Style. Sunday, February 5, 2012. A spectacular weekend at McClure. 3.5 hours of flying, topped out at 4,500', and many tours of the valley were had. Met up with CRV Saturday morning for a day trip, with camping gear along just in case. Picked up Ryan Goebel and Chad in Dublin and continued on. There was a big turn out unexpectedly with around 16 glider on launch. Our morning view from camp. Just 3 guys in the back of a truck. This is his tough look. ACP, ready to dominate.

Pilot Needs Ride: A Bitter Sweet Birthday
http://pilotneedsride.blogspot.com/2011/05/bitter-sweet-birthday.html
Slayin' It ACP Style. Friday, May 27, 2011. A Bitter Sweet Birthday. And so with a sad heart I headed to Funston on my birthday to fly the blues away. I drifted along on the underside of the cloud for a few passes, and then found a spot on the North end of the cloud where I could slowly climb out in front of it. Climbing at 20 feet a minute I made pass after pass, and soon found myself above the cloud in butter smooth air. Can you find Urs in this photo? Way above me, as usual. It was amazing. Like s...

Pilot Needs Ride: Snow and Funston
http://pilotneedsride.blogspot.com/2011/02/snow-and-funston.html
Slayin' It ACP Style. Sunday, February 20, 2011. With snow levels dropping below 2000' in the Bay Area, we headed to Tam hoping to fly above snowy peaks. We got to the mountain and found plenty of snow, and a closed road about 1/2 mile from launch. A few hearty pilots hiked out to launch and had great flights. Myself, CRV, JT, Urs, Enzo, Wayne, and George headed back down the coast to Funston. And Funston was kickin! Looking North Towards The Golden Gate. Over The Fort. Many Gliders Below. John Taylor "S...
