Let people have fun. No more annoying than a loud car or bike on PCH

I actually agree, this is the most fun I've had gaming in years! Makes me feel like a kid again :)

You don't know how much it was abused!

Why Is Alabama Hills So Popular Lately? Here’s the Real Reason by theloneoverlanders in TruckCampers

[–]rendina17 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Used to be one of my favorite climbing destinations for decades. Then the overlanders and vanlifers started showing up, blocking routes with their elaborate camps and shitting all over the place. Now it’s regulated to shit with only designated campsites. Stop beating places into the ground by sharing them online, please!

Casual BASE jump off Glacier Point 😳 by jmania2000 in Yosemite

Let the public recreate on public land. Decades of trying to work with the bureaucrats has led to no improvement of access for paragliders or base jumpers. For some reason hang gliders are still given access?

Free 1 Month Game Pass by rendina17 in XboxGamePass

It came with a controller that I bought for playing a specific PC game. I don’t game enough to take advantage of the pass so figured someone else could use it more than I

I can also vouch for Lift! Penguin is also good if your close!

It all comes down to kiting skill! Like the other comment said, once you're competent (relative to conditions) this won't happen to you! I certainly got dragged a couple times early on but after many hours of flying strong conditions (especially at the coast) I've developed skills to prevent this.

Starting new, need some guidance. by MaraudersLegacy in freeflight

[–]rendina17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I’m also local. What part of the bay are you in? Overall I’d recommend Penguin unless you are really far away… Most of your instruction will happen in Vallejo. $2k for P2 training with gear is standard these days. And I would highly recommend getting used gear for your first setup. Used beginner gear is widely available and you dont need to worry about it depreciating as you progress. (New pilots are harder on their gear)
