I thought it was absolute crap, and did nothing for the image of gliding. The
segment started with (words to the effect) "sure it's dangerous, they crash all
the time". Great stuff. It was also shown after a segment where they all went
bungee jumping so is this where we want our sport to be positioned, and the
type of people we will attract? Garbage like this we don't need. If people are
attracted to the sport for the perceived danger, then we're going about this
the wrong way. And for the people who say 'any publicity is good publicity'
ought to watch this drivel and rethink their stance.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Jack Osborne show.
Hi all,
I saw the gliding segment of the Jack Osbourne adrenalin junkie show last night
on ABC2, and to my surprise it was quite good, 4 flights shown including loops
and a spin and both winch and aerotow launching. A twin Astir waqs used, alond
with some shots of a K13 in the air.
For those who missed it the show will be available from the ABC's excellent
ivew website for the next 2 weeks.
Worth a look, the camera work was well done, (With professional cameras and
chase plane etc) and showed a good image of gliding.
Ineterestingly, the older lady in the group, who had a past fear of flying said
she would do it again.
Regards
Dave L
