As a P3 with 34 measly Rocky Mountain hours to my name, this is just jawdroppingly stunning. The absolute pinnacle of my wildest paragliding dreams. Gorgeous and inspiring stuff. My one point of minor criticism: on your launches you always cut right when you get a good wing, then cut to flying 100ft above the ground. I think those extra ten seconds would be great to keep in!
The eagle of Wanaka is in the air, Chrigel better watch out. Got to wonder tho but is it really a hike and fly race if you're not signing a board in front of the cameras while chugging a redbull ? Congratulations for your 1st place !

Hi Ben,
Do you think Ozone would allow you to review their BV1 harness for hike and fly?
As soon as I get it I’ll likely make a “first impressions” style video
Are u pulling or just holding the D-raiser!
A bit of both depending on what the wing is doing!
@@BenjaminKellett Ok got it! Thanks!!!

I just looked it up Ben won it by the looks of it
Thanks mate! Yeah I came 1st, Aaron Ford came close second just one point behind! Was a very friendly event with many different level of pilots!
