Read his own writing of his first "ACRO" flight in early days of learning...
I started flying paragliders in 1990,
I was introduced and initially trained by Patrick Blackburn
in the Northern California area.
It didn't take long to find that my skills were no match for the challenges met by mid day conditions and thermaling...
In 1992, I found myself in a parachutal stall
scratching Hat Creek rim in lee side conditions.
Luckily I was deposited in a small clump of trees,
halfway down the ridge,
somehow escaping injury to myself and the glider.
"Where was my reserve you say?"
Although small and sporting a high sink rate,
reserves were readily available for those pilots
who had the foresight of a main canopy malfunction,
and or pilot shortcomings.
And you guessed it, that did not include me.
"What a dumb ass I was!"
I found that FEAR was driving me away from the sport. play without stopping: wing overs, dead turns, etc...
But Prior to my next crash,
a year or so later, I found the courage to attend a fly in at Hat Creek Rim.
I was flying a friends, "new state of the art set up at the time", an Edel Super Space 2 glider, protector harness and a reserve.
Several gliders were already up when we showed up mid day.
I launched and quickly climbed 1000ft. over launch, and as it often does, began to get stronger and more wind, honestly the air was scaring me Big time. I had never circled in thermals before and when I blundered into one I was so overwhelmed by the sensation of active air, I flew through it instead of circling in it. Hat creek is often a place where you can do no wrong in regards to lift. After about half an hour I'd had enough so I headed for the LZ (not a friendly place mid day in late spring), my old glider was more related to a skydive rig than a modern paraglider. You could just yank brake haphazardly to cause diving wingovers. I was about to find out this new technology was not the same. Two clueless brake yanks later,
I suffered a massive hi-side deflation, then I over braked what WAS the flying side and met the ground with half the wing deflated and the other half stalled. Somehow it only resulted in a severely strained neck. This crashing and cluelessness made me take a big step back from flying again. 
Then I met Chris Santacroce years later at a similar fly in.
He was exhibiting skills that were simply amazing for the day.
This was very inspiring and I set out to learn what flying and paragliding dynamics were really about (for me anyway).
I went on to purchase a boat and winch system and worked into providing the towing for Chris's maneuvers training courses throughout the west.
Thanks to my wife Ann, good friend Chris Santacroce, the folks at Super Fly U.S.A. GIN, Ozone, and Jeff Salyer at Hook productions. With a tremendous amount of determination,
I have reached the level of flying I'm at today.
And A Special Thanks to ALL the pilots that have sought training with me throughout the years...
