Thanks guys!

Paul, I hope the book will motivate me to get out to more group hangs so I can sign your copy. Make sure to check the page 113 :)

Wooohoo! I'm glad it arrived in good order. I was really pushing my deadlines to get the book out before the holidays and was worried when I read people were going to get it shipped in December. I...

Welcome Pathfinder! The best remedy for fatigue: recline in a hammock. If you find you can't fall asleep, read my book; it's sure to lull you into blissful dreams*.

I hope you all had a great Halloween!

The winner (besides trinni! :) is exup!!!

Thanks to all who entered and to everyone for your support.

I'm expecting that Amazon will complete their...

Last reminder! Tonight is the last night to get your name in the drawing for a free copy of The Ultimate Hang book! I will make the call tomorrow morning. Good luck!

FYI, I just noticed the book is available at Amazon.com already! Free Super Saver Shipping, if that helps anyone. I don't have any control over the discounts/rates at Amazon, unfortunately. Frankly,...

Very cool obmit!! Can I use this image on the site?

And, just by way of announcement, the drawing for a free copy runs through October 31, so there is still a chance to win if you're holding out. I'll announce the (second) winner November 1.

If you've been following this post, I'm happy to report that The Ultimate Hang is now available for sale!

Hey Buffalo! I'm awaiting a final proof from the printer this Wednesday (10/26). From what I am told, the book may go on sale as soon as the end of the week, if not sooner. I'm keeping my fingers...

Strawhat, that is an AWESOME ultimate hang! I've got you in the drawing. Thanks for sharing. May I use this photo on the site? I love the location -- where is that?

Just a reminder -- there is...

Dang! I love those colors! Very nice. Gotcha in the drawing.

For all you non-FB fans, the printer's proof arrived in the mail today!
...

Thanks Florida!

Don't worry, I added you to the drawing. The past few weeks have been so crazy with finalizing the book for publishing that I jumped ahead.

So, just to reiterate, the drawing...

Good news!! I am an idiot.

I just realized that it is not yet October 31. I think I was so excited about getting the book to the printer on deadline, that must mean the contest is over.

So, I...

And the winner of the drawing is...

trinni !!

I've sent out a PM.

Thanks to everyone for their support! The book has been sent to the publisher today and is being "processed." Woooot!

Too funny Owl! I think I gotcha.

Thanks to all those who entered the Ultimate Hang drawing! I believe I have caught everyone who wanted "in" on getting in the drawing for a free copy.

I plan to post the winner in the next few...

Awesome photos! Thanks everyone for posting! I've added everyone so far to my drawing.

Great photo ScottH61! Is that the Clark NX-150? Very cool.



Moradiss, since you asked, yes. But not for a few more months. Effort #1 is to get the print version to press for November. As the...

Thanks Buffalo Skipper! Looks great!

Thanks folks! I think I've got everyone who's posted so far.

No movie (yet). We'll see if the books proves so popular Warner Bros. wants to make an adaptation! :) :)

Thanks all! I think I've captured everyone so far.

Thanks all. I think I'm caught up so far.

Owl - I agree! The ultimate hang is often that first time you get in, find the "sweet spot" and sigh, "wow, this is so much better than the ground!"

Thanks Jerry! Mike's an inspiration. I own most of his books and love his style. I won't claim to be as quirky as Mike's illustrations -- my book is more instructional, although the pen-and-ink...

Thanks Grtz!

I just met a gal from the Netherlands the other day here in Flagstaff. We were talking about the great bicycle training program you have with the elementary children.

I should have...

Thanks Mr. Clean! Great pics and I love the stories.

You guys are sure making me work hard keeping up with this list. Thanks!

Gunner76 and sandpiper -- may I have permission to cross-post these images to the Ultimate Hang site?

Recycled kayaks? How cool is that? You'll find lots of Crocks in my book, but I guess they could be Waldies now!

I love the crocks!

For those of you who posted here AND on Facebook, please make sure you post your HF moniker on Facebook so I can give you credit. A lot of people have "liked" the Facebook page but I need to match...

The book can never replace the forum. Of course, I never intended it to do so :) It's a handy reference, heavily illustrated as a go-to source for new hangers and budding amateurs alike. I hope the...

No problem! I've added you (and everyone else on this thread so far) to the drawing! Thanks for the support!

Thanks Sky and Lymph! You're both maxed out in the drawing! Well, Lymph, if you post on FB, that's another entry... :)

Okay Ewker! You're in twice; thanks for posting!



Thanks Jcavenagh!

Thanks William!

Very cool Jcavenagh!

Okay, I'm capturing everyone who posts on this thread and those who post their HF moniker on Facebook.

Again, extra entries in the drawing for a like/post on Facebook and an "Ultimate Hang" photo....

The book will be available in November. Purchasing information will be posted as I move forward with the publisher.

The book is currently in the final stages of being peer-reviewed as part of the...

No Facebook!? It's shameful :)

No worries. I was once anti-Facebook (not that you are, but I was) until my current job forced me into it :)

So, if you _don't_ have Facebook, posting on this...

P.S. All those who have already "liked" The Ultimate Hang on Facebook are already entered to win, but you must add your HF moniker so I can weed out non-HF members for this drawing.

I will not...
