Chris (Superfly) SantacroceChris Santacroce is a liar and a nose hair farmer. He likes chicken and hot cocoa. He herds cats for a living and enjoys ultimate friz and under water basket weaving. When he's not receiving shock treaments or cloud dazing, he loves to ride kites. He blogs off with himself incesently and has a briefcase of chrisdemeanours to his name. His middle name is "white cloud" and he only does smoke signals and peace pipes. Never E-mail him. |

Othar LawrenceOJ Lawrence (acording to SuperChris) is a washed up has-been. He is the pencil and paper behind the Redbull Airforce. He rides a Sonic usually Flavor Flav style. He is today’s Renaissance man: Pilot, mountaineer, businessman, fierce competitor, enthusiastic promoter, fearless innovator. In less than a decade, Othar (aka OJ) has done it all – winning the U.S. National and North American titles and perfecting aerobatic maneuvers that amaze even jaded skydivers. In the process, he’s made paragliding more accessible to competitors, amateurs, and spectators alike |
