PRIZE: Winner gets sweet Optic Nerve glasses and bragging rights forever— we will refer to this workout by the name of the winner from here on out 👀 

In order for this to count you must complete this checklist:

 ◦ Run with pack on filled with all required equipment for a standard HF race*

 ◦ Helmet must be on for launch

 ◦ Reserve must be in place for launch

 ◦ If your harness is inflatable, you must give it one solid blow before pulling the wing up

 ◦  Pack must be stowed in harness and zipped close

 ◦ All "safety" buckles on the harness must be attached before kiting 

We recommend doing this with others and bringing someone to time and film so you don’t have to worry about setting up a camera or timing. Plus racing against your friends will probably end up with a faster result 😉 

Have fun! Push hard! May the speediest pilot win 🤠
