That bug looks hungry. I think it's an introduced species, just make sure you do not take one back to the farm I think they would wipe you out!!!!
After spending half an hour on the phone telling me how you had followed farmer Nicks looping advice and then successfully attempted a loop. This is all you have to show for it! You crapped on about how it was so easy and was like landing on a mattress! Oh how stupid and gullible I was to run around telling everyone that Houston wasnt the useless prick we thought he was. But alas you have proven that first impressions are normally right.
Nice work....... you have probably completely destroyed Tasmania's reputation as an island full of intelligent and sensible folks though I guess the ads Boags have been running recently may have already convinced mainlanders that there is something strange in the drinking water in Tassi.
Really don't know what all the fuss is about .
Nick is the best coach I have ever come across and understands the years of abuse I've received from other sailors and knows the deep and lasting phycological effect it's had on me.
I am even more traumatised by the awefull coments people are posting in this site.
I've spent many years attempting a forward loop and if this is the best I can do I am proud at least to get this far .
Nick assures me I am progressing well and says the next stage is, using the mattress technique, hit the lip and pull off an end-over-end loop
Bring it on
The pics below show what the conditions were like at Bluff, up to 3/4 mast
before and after Nick's Learn To Loop Clinic
Dream dream dream, I wish Marrawah was only an hour away. I must say though the water looks very inviting, it would have been lovely for a surf, my sis and family were up there then for the surf comp, they said it was beautiful weather.....meaning no wind. Them and all the Clifton mob have fallen in love with Marrawah too, they're all booked in for next years comp already and their all staying for a week. they went 4WD and kayaking up Arthur River as well.
