Well-known in the paragliding community in the US, Oroc was last seen on Saturday, local time, southwest of Eureka County in Nevada. An extensive search and rescue operation is now under way in the area of Nye County, near the Eureka County. Searchers have been scouring the terrain by foot and by air, the Eureka County Sheriff's Office said. While speaking with paragliding podcast Cloudbase Mayhem last month Oroc said he began paragliding after he moved to Wanaka. Active in the paragliding community, Oroc assisted search efforts of another paraglider reported missing in Peru in 2011.
