Ahh, the south side.... With all it's weeds and occasional nuclear winds it is the best place have your first flights. It offers some of the best opportunities to get good at ground handling from trying to get to the edge in 18mph winds to kiting up hill from the bottom because you can't get off the top. Well you can also walk downhill and take a turn at side hill launching in windy wind. When the students are out in full force you may get yelled at from the ground to follow the pattern, yeah yeah. I would just opt not to fly when the air is full of harnesses with yellow streamer tape. Swoop as you like but don't break your leg or wreck in any fashion cuz thats lame. I prefer to swoop over the west bowl and often some natives to the sky will join in. Watch out for this place blowin up all quick like. It can turn fully on in minutes- not only in wind but rippin thermals. Some people like it hot and that's cool but if you are suddenly alone in the air you may want to wonder why. Don't get blown back cuz that's lame too and people will sit at the cars and talk smack about you. Dog rules: 1. You know your dog will not pee on gliders 2. you pick up the poop your dog lays down 3. they have to get along with Bodhi (seeing it's his favorite site). In the summer this place is normally done at 10am and in the winter you can fly here all day. Early bird gets the worm.
