BUSY THERMAL at Mt BAKEWELL
zhlédnutí 153Před 2 měsíci
Another great winter day at bakewell. This time there were 5 HG pilots and over 10 PG flying the same thermal. A bit uncomfortable at some times but i guess it gave me a good feeling of what a competition looks like.

First time flying my U2 at bakewell. i was pretty happy how it went. It was a good day overall but challenging at times. Nearly bomb out a few times but luckily managed to scratch the hill and get up. Always love when the eagles come out! :) Wind was SSE about 11 knots at launch. Me and David flying hang gliders and 1 paraglider.

Hang gliding Wedge island
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed 8 měsíci
First time flying Wedge Island. Wind was blowing SSW about 12 to 15 knots. Thanks Rob for your patience. It paid off in the end. I felt very comfortable launching after a few attempts. Even played top landing in a very small patch on top of first little dune. Great fun!
Great fun thermaling day at Bakewell !!!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Good one Diego
Great practice for those big competition gaggles.
@malibu188 looking forward to my first comp hopefully next year at forbes and corryong 🤞
@@diegomendonca1953 Great way to get some top quality XC experience. Remember to book early for the popular events.
Incredible! Really cool.
You did well Diego, given the congestion. I would have been a bit stressed . Looking forward to getting a site induction for bakewell.
@tonymerrifield583 the adrenaline was running at 1000 miles/h 😄 i was like the insta 360 camera. my eyes were looking everywhere haha
it's amazing what a bit of rain does. Farmers must be really happy with the rain they've got so far. 👌 it all looks a lot better from up here 😉
Good job mate. Looks like a blast. Nice to see some greenery in the surrounding paddocks, too. I was really digging that beep beep boop boop song you had playing. A banger for sure! 😂
Very well edited Diego. I don't know if I would have been too comfortable with that wing tipping bump on my first thermal. Great editing mate . Looks awesome up there.
Gracias....
Awesome 😎
Nice flights. You did good on those dunes 👌🏼🌞😎
very low dunes...learnt a lot on that day. lots of fun!
Someone told me wedge was only accessible by boat! There are cars on the beach so must be false? Or is there wedge and wedge island?
you can drive there. its about 20kms north of lancelin
Looking good Diego . I am trying out Bunbury back beach ridge for the first time and having some success. All these types of clips really help with techniques.
it's very different from hill launch. I'm lucky to be flying with Rob shaun and Brad that are very experienced pilots that fly coastal a lot so I've been picking up a lot of tricks.
Best video
Great to see having so much fun Diego!
Nice
Nice work mate !
so much fun!
Well done! Great flight and good height!
Nice👌
So cool!
🤯 WOW amazing.
Beautiful scenery, fantastic landing. How did you get to such great height?
Shelly is a bigger hill about 320ft so about 3x as big as any of those hills in Gero. 12kts plus generate a lot of lift there. I got up to 1200ft. it's such an amazing place to fly!
it was my first time flying there. I will definitely go back again.
Nice work with the top landing. Looks like a great trip to Geraldton.
Que máximo. Perfeito
I remember flying here in about '95, lift band was so outrageous it was so hard to get down. We ended up going further and further out to sea just to be able to spiral down and then b-line to the beach. Took a few attempts getting lower each time before making for the beach without getting caught in lift again. It was a memorable flight and satisfying beer after.
The guys were telling us all about that...the windier it is the harder to get down. Luckily when we were flying there the wind was just around 15 kts...we still had to pull the bar in a bit to get down. such a beautiful place! ill definitely be flying there again around Christmas time this year. 👍
Nailed it!
Nice flying with a great view of the coastal scenery.
Its an incredible place! We saw dolphins this time while in the air...the experienced guys said they often see whales very close to shore as well. i will certainly go back!
You are unstoppable!!!!🤩
it will be hard to stop me from going back to this magical place again, thats for sure! :) haha
