Hanging out up in British Columbia for the Canada Cup commentating for @westcoastdrl. Got a minute to sneak out today and rip a few packs with @mattystuntzfpv at one of his secret spots. Always a good time flying here in the great white north.
Quick new edit up on the Youtubes, just a tuning session but trying to push more content. So I'll be posting a lot more over there.
Some sunset racing @diehard_rc, I rarely post field racing clips, cause it doesn't seem as compelling to me as mountain flying. But this was just such a pretty sunset. Every Thursday the local PNW crew gathers in Snohomish to do a little casual racing. If you're in the area definitely come on out, it's a grand ol time. . This round of mains I was bested, I done did goofed on the corkscrew and wasn't able to catch back up.
That slot to tree hugger! Sometimes this all happens in one big blur. There's no better way to get your blood pumping.
Slow rolls to snow flying. Getting harder and harder to find snow. Which is both good and bad, it's opening up more areas to drive to. Many of the roads that were blocked by snow are now accessible. But also no more pretty snow ☹️
Long range pro tip: DONT GO INTO THE BOWL!!! When you're cruising down a mountain and you see a big bowl like this, it's really easy to want to drop all the way down, but unless you're 100% sure you have line of sight. Avoid going all the way down into these bowls. For this flight I was standing by the road off in the distance. You can see as I dive the first cliff, the road starts to disappear. When you're skirting the edge of your RF LOS, it's best practice to keep your self (or a large land mark like the road) in your frame, so you can make sure you won't dip too far behind a ridge.
From winter to spring to summer. All in one chute. Snows quickly melting. So won't be able to get shots like this for much longer. But wow is this not the most beautiful scenery. Love those frosted trees
Most people avoid ghost trees. I was born in them, moulded by them.
Sometimes you come back from a long range flight with some extra battery. What do you do with the left overs? FREESTYYYLLEEEE
Sometime you don't have the best line of sight down a chute, so you lose video around a corner or two. But just hold steady course and trust that video will come back. Most of these chute runs arents just first tries, it's multiple batteries of feeling out the location, scouting for scraggly branches, or pockets of video loss. Then trusting your gear, and flying your line till you get the shot you want. A good clip doesn't happen on the first take, it takes patience and repetition till you like what you got.
Ohhhhhhhkay. So this flight is one of my favorites from the weekend. Not because I once again pushed my luck and got away with it, but because I had a very specific sketchy plan that I scouted on the first battery down this chute. And just went for it. All that race practice I've been doing lately has greatly increased my confidence in hitting gates without crashing. So what do ya do when you're kilometers out? Hit natural gates of course :)
Well that was lucky...I had dozens of moments over this weekend where I probably should have gone on a very long hike, or lost my quad. But the sun was shining in my favor. What an incredible area, and more clips to come from this epic adventure. Maybe even some YouTube edits too
