That's me on the wires and launching this guy from Austin that had not been flying in some time, is he pushing out???? I can not really tell because where he has his cam but too me it looks like he is pushing and stalls during landing when he should had been pulled in for speed :ugeek:

Look at his grip :wtf:

I couldn't tell from the video. It did look like he had good speed coming in, but then he slowed down for a few seconds and then sped up again. From what I can tell, he rolled in on his wheels - which is a fine technique if you know the LZ is rollable on those smaller wheels.

Packsaddle looks like a nice little hill. How far is it from Leakey?
