    I had I laugh at the end part. That's too real for this EU summer and the few competition's I did try to fly.

    I loved the humor in this video. Especially the sadistic task setters comment.

    Be good if you can do a similar but on awards and records. Eg bronze silver gold diamond, any others? And records. The 3000km distance has just been made.

    Say, Whaaaat? 😮
    That’s a lot of information in 100 seconds!

    I see that actual gliding in NZ looks exactly like trying to learn to fly in an Irish summer :D

    Thanks for the clarification! I would be interested in your merch, especially hats, but I have a great big head. Would it be possible to maybe get your hats in a biggeer size?

    • @PureGlide
      @PureGlide  Год назад

      Unfortunately I only have access to the 'one size fits all' hats. The denim hats probably are too small for you, but the 'old school bucket hat' has stretchy elastic, so might be OK. Unfortunately I can't refund if it doesn't fit :(

      I'll see what I can do next time I'm adding some shirts!

    Any tips for my first solo I’m nervous?

    • @PureGlide
      @PureGlide  Год назад

      Don’t think of it as your first solo, it’s just another flight like all your training ones!

      In Eastern Ontario this year, we also had to contend with wildfire smoke creating IMC conditions. Oh yes … and lots of rain.
