Red square

Train your reaction and coordination with this game.

It is talked that the American soldiery pilots can do it more than 2 minutes.

I`m not the American soldier pilot at all. I can do it only 10-12 seconds.

Just imagine you`re inside of big gaggle at the start cylinder by the time to go and you`ll understand why it`s useful. But be careful, it may get you nervous...

HG Russian Nationals 2010, beginning

It looks like HG Russian National 2010 will be placed in Kuray on last decade of June. Very nice place with big beautiful mountains.

Unfortunately, it`s placed too far from Europe near the border of Chine and Mongolia (see the place on map).

Anyway I`d like to invite all pilots who`s interested there.

Official site of competitions:
http://www.fly-kuray.ru/

There will be registration form and more information in both languages there soon.

Additional (posted later)
Registration form

Just look at this beauty:


You may find many pictures here

Eugenia has written good article about Kuray in English here.

I was there one time in 2006 on Russian Nationals and have won that competitions. It was little bit extremely but interesting flying with cloudbase more then 4500 asl above high mountain`s desert.

По русски:
Чемпионат России 2010 будет в Курае.

Under the sky

Not long time ago I and my friends were in Elbrus (the biggest mountain in Europe, 5642 m asl) for a snowboarding. We climbed on 4 700 asl and slide down. I`ve made some pictures:

Highest point you can get without special equipment.


We got there by this vehicle.


Under the sky

No, no, I`m not going to write something like "step, step, step or everything about my life" :). It`s just a test.

In the beginning there was word...

In the beginning God created the heaven and [next] the earth... (c) Bible, 1:1

I strongly believe that everybody who flies are angels. May be they aren`t white angels every time, but anyway they`re angels...

I don`t know why I created this blog. I have more than 10 internet sites which I have to support and I don`t have enough time even for them.

I never liked public bloggers. I had had my own blog on my own personal domen (dzamikhov.ru) before I`ve created this one. But it takes too much time to support your own site and I decided I wouldn`t support it more.

I apologize to my Russian readers for English in this blog and apologize to my English readers for my bad English. I will try to write in both languages right the same like Eugenia.

Теперь по русски...

В начале что-то про сотворение неба, земли и прочего.
Хрен его знает зачем я сделал этот блог у меня и так мало времени.
Сорри, гайс, но писать я буду на английском и, может быть, иногда переводить на русский. Не надо морщиться от моего блестящего владения английским, я тока учусь.

Забавно, сейчас проверил правописание... ошибок в русском тексте было больше, чем в английском :). Видать делать ошибки правописания на английском еще не научился (про грамматику умолчим).
