How to crash a Hang Glider

[<BS>]

Unfortunately all this rain in CA has probably flooded all the dry riverbeds I love so dearly and washed away all my Frisbee® targets along with the nice soft sand.

Take heart, the large rocks should still be strewn all over the place, with some nice soft mud here and there.

A friend who lives near one good dry river wash bailout posted video yesterday and it looks like I'll be doing pontoon landings or getting some Alaskan tundra wheels for my speed bar.

This is used connect to the keel (works with the Pro tow setup). You can connect to the keel through a weak link to a line attached to the keel, or through a bicycle/cable/spinnaker release, which is attached to a line on the keel. Vectran is used because it doesn't melt when Vectran or Spectra runs through the loop at the end of the line (if you release using a barrel release).
