A little Carbon Bird hotliner action on a cliff somewhere in the Gulf Islands. The video is about a 28 MB download, so please right-click and "Save As..."

Some really nice light-air aerobatics by Russ, flying his F3J Pike Superior. The first part is in an early morning breeze at Eagle Butte (brrrrr!), and the second part is in very light slermal lift on an undisclosed island somewhere off the coast of British Columbia.

Well I know it's 2008 but hey, editing the footage takes awhile. Here's a collection of footage from the past year showing some of the people and the flying that made 2007 a blast down at the Dallas Road slope. Russ, Angus, Sam, Ron, Ray, Timmy and yes, even the crazy swearing homeless dude made it all worth while. The video is about a 44 MB download, so please right-click and "Save As..."

From the better late than never department... Went down to Cape Blanco with Sam and Russ for 3 days of sloping back in June and wouldn't you know it the wind picks those three days to stop blowing. However, it did end up being absolutely perfect weather in a beautiful part of the world that is normally socked in with fog at that time of year. And of we brought the electrics along :) The video is about a 38 MB download, so please right-click and "Save As..."

Finally a good day at the slope! A windy Sunday afternoon with a little sun and some seagulls to bomb around the slope with. Just tried out a new 13x10 prop on the Micro Flash and it seemed very happy with it :) The video is about a 26 MB download, so please right-click and "Save As..."

Recently I got a neat little mini camera/video recorder. It's about the size of your index finger and weighs only 20 grams, yet can record about 5 minutes of decent-quality 640x480 30fps video. I made a little mount to stick it in the front of my Micro Flash hotliner and headed down to the slope... The video is about a 35 MB download, so please right-click and "Save As..."

Here's a nice little video of Russ' T-Rex heli flying at sunset in a little graveyard right on the beach in Victoria. Pretty decent quality considering it was shot with the movie mode of a Sony DSC-N1 pocket digital camera. Angus did all the camera work and Russ did the editing!

You know the lift is good when the crows come out to play. Caught these crows trying to slope soar at our local site in big winds (30+ knots) the other day. The video is about a 17 MB download, so please right-click and "Save As..."

What happens when you take a slope glider pilot and give him a helicopter? He takes it to the slope, of course. Some pretty cool flying in this one - not your usual 3D heli flying but "big air" maneuvers set against a beautiful backdrop off Dallas Road in Victoria, BC. This was filmed sometime around March of 2006 and the pilot is Russell Bowman. The video is about a 41 MB download, so please right-click and "Save As..."

Finally got around to uploading a few photos from our local slope. These are mostly taken at the bowl out in front of Beacon Hill, off Dallas Rd. The photo link takes you to one of my image galleries on PBase.com.

Also attached to this post is a Google Earth kmz file of all the good sloping spots in and around Victoria.
