This is my take on the skies of beautiful Lanzarote island. We where there for the competition in December. You can read about it in my old post on my blog www.klemencicmatjaz.blogspot.com

I have a million reasons why I love my top site.
In the middle of summer, when you have got gobs and gobs of airtime... this one will get the ya ya's out.
Stressed out at work? Gonners. Period.
Intermediates? You are banned, for good reason. This is a Rated Hang Four Site.
Story
Back in the 90's two pilots came up from Cauli for nia land.
One had 1200 hours, the 2nd 720 hours, both mostly in the Owens Valley.
I took one look at their log book and said... have fun!
The first took off and, ridging back and forth in front and... you could hear him sobbing... sobbing... sobbing... then deep gasping crying.
Scared the she it out of them... but only for a few minutes until they remembered the site rules for rowdy air...
then all was copasetic again.
My favorite, all time quote was from Dave Hayes aka "Freep" who gained 8'000 in three minutes, topping out at 11'000' asl
"There was no way on Gods Little Green Earth that I was going to find out what going over the falls in that sucker was like!"
The town of Faulkand is famous for one of the biggest, best Rodeos ever, anywhere.
The air there is called Rodeo Air. Aptly named I must say.
I have 180 reasons why I love my flying sites and they are contained in my 180 youtube videos. _________________ Sonic 165
