If you want to know what was going through my head....
Across the mountains, even though the wind was high and the clouds were few, I thought the chances of continuing to find climbs was actually very good. It was the middle of the day, and there was tons of sun on the slopes. We couldn't go absolutely baller because the terrain was so high as to cut into our working band, but I didn't see any reason to go very slow or deviate much.
The jump to the grapevine was more of an experiment. I did see some wisps there, so I was pretty sure I would find something. I forgot that people told me that the wind funnels through there, so I did not take into account that I would be lower than I would expect. I barely arrived above the terrain...I'll definitely remember that for the future though :)
Thanks for doing my homework for me! Nice one.
Very nice video.
Thanks for the mention at 8:35
Fun flying with you guys! I was chasing Ramy and didn’t realize you wear all behind us until we converged in that thermal.
As a sailer and private pilot, this was fascinating. Thanks for letting me tag along on your adventure!
I like the narration, it helps me understand nuances I never thought about. Well done!
I enjoyed the video, editing and commentary. Thank you!
Nice, Ben! Terrific video, thank you!
That's was awesome Ben!!!!!!
What an adventure. Great video and flying.
Mindblowing.
Great Video!! Thank you!
Great video! And congrats!
fantastic!
14:10 "I figure this is my chance to catch up to Ramy", said no one correctly, ever. Lol. He does have you beat by about 15%? all day, so no shame there I'd say. Nice flight!
Nice video..enjoyed it..
I very much enjoyed this video. Nice to see decision making process.
Great video. My buddies and I used to do similar flights out of Tehachapi.
You’ve done it again Ben. So very educational and informative. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Really enjoy your videos. Great work!
I was over your way in April, tried 3 weeks to tee up with a local club for a fly with no success.
Sorry you weren't able to get a flight in. Are you a new pilot, or just visiting?
The safety risks when outlanding in the US is coming from the owner of the field you're landing on . He could welcome you wth a salvo of his "assault rifle" for daring to land on his piece of dirt without his permission .
How do you like the ls6 handling in 17.5m compared to 15m?
@@RoelBaardman I've never really used the 15m tips. No reason to unless you're racing.
Wonderful video. Very inspiring flights and such great narration.
