It's too bad we don't have an accepted common hashtag for the soaring community. It's a great way to post updates, photos, and questions related to a certain subject. It also builds community and encourages participation. For example, #bikedc is used by bicycle commuters in Washington DC to post road hazards, weather conditions, meet-up events, or just fun things like photos. It's also a good way to raise awareness and increase outreach - especially among young people.

By the way...there are some great soaring profiles on Instagram (mostly from our European friends).
