2011 May 26 Endless Foot Drag Competition

This was our first running of the new style, where pilots launch, fly one task, do a spot landing then get ready to launch again for the next task. Each launch and power-off spot landing are scored so there’s a lot less luck involved and a lot more of the fun stuff to watch. Plus it’s far more condensed into one area.

The U.S. Paramotor Team has a respectable result for their first-ever entry | Original Press Release
The pylons are packed, scores tabulated and pilots back in their respective countries. It was an emotionally charged contest that provided the drama one would expect when pilots put their best efforts forward. It was an incredible blast, an enormous undertaking, stressful and rewarding. The July Issue of UltraFlight magazine will have coverage and pictures.

Congrats to all three pilots, Jeff Goin, Chad Bastian and Stan Kasica who just returned from their 10-day Italian mission to represent our country. David Rogers and his wife Carmen gave much-appreciated help as crew members.

This was a highlight of the pilots experience in paramotoring. Hopefully others will choose to represent the U.S. and let shine some of the talent we have to offer.

Thanks to those who contributed. We were able to offset their travel expenses by just over $600. It means a lot to the pilots.

Jeff Goin has a webLog at www.FootFlyer.com and Chad Bastian has one at www.TrikeBuggy.com.

Below is a summary of the final results with equipment as of June 19, 2009. Here are the Official results from FAI’s website. A complete, more readable summary of these results can be found as a PDF on www.FootFlyer.com, which includes scores from individual tasks.

During 53 launches, in sometimes very difficult conditions, only one failed attempt was logged. The only equipment damage was minor tip damage to a prop. Nicely flown. Thanks to Organizer David Rogers, Steward Roy Beisswinger, and many others who made this an incredibly well-run event.
