A hectic day today. Our last day before the conference starts and still more people signing up to participate! The sky outside just got better and better and we couldn’t bear to spend the whole day indoors, so we sneaked out for a final fly before we’re housebound for 4 days. It was a south forecast, so always unpredictable, and there was strong north all the way there. On arriving at Amer, it was south. However, this was short lived and it turned west pretty much immediately. Mike, Nani, Lluis, Ivan, Marc and Sergi were already there and we drove up.

On top it was clear that it was too far off and too gusty to fly. As often happens, there were trial riders in the quarry, practising jumps and leaps. Santa Brigida seems to be a very popular spot for it. We’ve seen official team vehicles for the Swiss, Czech, Polish, British and Spanish teams there over the years.

We sauntered over and watched them doing amazing scrambles up sheer blocks, jumps, balancing, etc. One rider seemed to really, really know what he was doing. When we saw his t-shirt, all became clear. He was multiple world champion Adam Raga. Nice of him and his mates to come along just to provide us with entertainment while it wasn’t flyable.

Now it’s 18 hours a day in front of the computer for 96 hours from tomorrow am. We have 329 delegates from 16 countries and 10 different time zones. See ya when it’s all over!
