RE: My suggestion to increase pattern participation
I too am one of those who is interested in flying pattern (have always liked that style) but don't have any real point of reference to know if I'm doing things right. No one close, that I know of, that flys pattern and not many contests close to even go watch. I like the idea of video of the sportsman sequence. Both up close and from "pilot perspective" so you can tell how far out you are supposed to fly etc. I have done many searches for that with no luck.
