This blog is authored by BajaBrent, Baja’s most experienced “free-flight” paragliding pilot. BajaBrent has lived and flown the “perfect ridge” in La Salina, Baja Mexico since February 22 1997. In fact, this year ( 2011), his 14th anniversary, he tolled his 900th flying hour, at La Salina. NO THIS WILL NOT ALL BE ABOUT ME…THIS STUFF MAY BE ON HERE, BUT I PROMISE TO PUT MORE content ABOUT LA SALINA and OTHER PILOTS, PLS BE PATIENT…AS I AM RECREATING THE OLD BLOG AND NEED SOME FILLER,…which is what this is!
Although he has never suffered a serious paraglidng injury, he has endured many bumps, scrapes, bruises, and white-knuckled moments riding, gliding, and soaring the erratic air along the ridge and coastline.
His longest flight at La Salina is 5 hours and 10 minutes. His average flight is estimated to be an hour, which, includes the 5 minute sledders that “happen” when conditions change. His average “normal” flight is @ 2 hours, that is, whenever he launches, he plans on, and will usually achieve 2 hours of airtime, or more.
He flies 80% of the time alone, with the exception of the two legged TEAM FlyLaSalina.com: Randolfo, Rebecca, Ramone and Raoul (Ravens), Helen the Hawk, and Igor the Vulture.
