Wallaby Ranch had another visitor from the (American) Today Show. Al Roker's irrepressible enthusiasm for Wallaby made a big impression on Today Show co-host Matt Lauer. Malcolm Jones, Wallaby's owner, was contacted by Matt's representatives, and was asked if Matt, who was vacationing in Florida, could stop by for a lesson. Given a big thumbs up, Matt arrived with his wife in a helicopter, ready to fly hang gliders. The Lauers both enjoyed their tandem flights, and Matt told Malcolm he would be returning with the whole family. Sound familiar?

As our sport's enthusiasts know, hang gliding has a wonderfully compelling dimension. The fact that such high profile celebrities have had a taste of hang gliding may help to spread the word in a way mere advertising never could. The Wallaby server, after the Al Roker Today Show segment featuring Wallaby, crashed as a result of the number of hits. Hits that were counted exceeded 40,000. All in all, good news for Wallaby, but more importantly, good news for hang gliding.

Malcolm is so smart to have the Wallaby Ranch sticker on every one's forehead.
