My own...B Ray...Sorry to hear about your incident. My own story with Juice begins on my first flight at MPU. I hiked Juice with Thom who was not flying on this day because of his own tricky encounter with Juice. We get up to launch and the wind is blowing cross to the hill from the North. Thom has me get on the radio and contact Don who is already in the air. Don says just wait a bit and the wind will switch around. Sure enough within minutes the wind was blowing back up the hill. I pull the wing up and she comes up nice and straight. I turn and then hesitate because I am feeling absolutely no pressure from the wing. I look up and see that the wing is sitting straight over my head. In the next instant the wing frontals and collapses to the ground. I say to Thom " I cant believe that just happened to me." Thom helps me clear my lines and I relaunch and have a wonderful flight.<br /> Juice can be tricky. I have done a lot of kiting in the park and I have never been able to get my wing to fly like that with no pressure from the risers. I have noticed that when other spots around MPU seem to be blowing that Juice will be lighter and more fickle. There also seems to be a house thermal above Juice.<br /> Thanks again to Thom and Jayson for helping me out on my first ever MPU flight.<br /> BrentBrentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20110414.post-83039756348222012762012-07-01T18:22:23.645-10:002012-07-01T18:22:23.645-10:00Did you know it is btter not to use hydrogen perox...Did you know it is btter not to use hydrogen peroxide? Clean, running water and soap is best! Also, keeping your wound moist with Antibiotic cream instead of letting it air out will whelp it heal faster?
