Ya no doubt. Ive watched and learned a lot from many of his videos. he comes off as a very down to earth guy who's not afraid to admit his mistakes, which are few btw, but make great commentary on his videos. my favorite is where he comes into a water assisted beach landing in a bit of a crosswind and just about nails the high bank with the wing. He then climbs out with a shit eating grin and understates " that was close". and then follows up with a narration on how he fucked up. very informative and entertaining. The man burns up a lot of gas and time doing this shit pushing the envelope and were damned lucky he takes the effort to share his knowledge learned through his videos. I'm a cheap prick, but must say his videos are worth every penny.

Re: The Challenge

Thanks Greg for suggesting the get together. Even a couple of us nose pickers, ah, nose draggers showed up for the easier stuff.

Re: The Challenge

Looks like you guys had some fun! I'll have to go out there next time I'm in town for a visit. I haven't landed the international strip in about 8 years but it looks like they extended it? I don't remember the road going through.
