Very nice work. Especially landing over the top of d!ckhead's airplane. You make that look easy.

Well believed or not he was more angry than me, but quiet.
I was going to make a big fuss , but since Im new I wasnt that harsh.

The thing is that he told me a month prior to this, that I needed a year training with him to be able to land there.
He keeps saying its a super difficult and dangerous strip to everyone, so all are scared and no one goes, so he keeps being the only one operating the strip.
Im the only stubborn pilot who trained, practiced and went there to see what was all about.

With me landed with his plane parked he felt the story has been discovered and is not that hard of a strip in reality (specially with no one parked). :)

LOL...... So let's get the strip on Shortfield.com and describe it as a fairly easy strip and include your video's. That will get his blood flowing :D Heck, it doesn't look all that difficult.
