Hey Mitch, Happy New Year glad to see you are getting to fly. Also glad you avoided that fence thingy on top of the hill. Be safe and I'm eagerly awaiting your return to buzzing the desert. Those videos are inspiring 🪂
You mentioned your other wings are reflex wings. I've never heard of anyone free flying a reflex wing. It looked like you brake checked that collapse well, it barely collapsed at all. Perhaps you hit some lee side thermals. Do you thermal much? It find that on a punchy day, I sometimes get a couple of big collapses before I get dialed in to the air really well. Frontals shouldn't be a huge deal as long as you aren't kicking the treetops.
I have free flown my ITV Billy, Dudek universal, Dudek hadronxx, Dudek warp, all reflex wings. This day didnt have punchy thermals. Hardly any thermals at all. It was definitely mechanical turbulence.
Thank for sharing. I like the voice over with the thought process. It helps refresh what to do in a similar event. 👍🏻
Wow, that was intense! Thanks for sharing Mitch!
Awesome colors.
Happy New Year!!!
Thank you Mitch this is very helpful information

Happy new year
Welcome back Mitch, great that you are safe and ready for more videos when you fly. Happy new year fly baby fly.
So due to wind direction you took off on the back side of the Ridge, never got on to the upwind side of the ridge and just landed down the bottom.
Awesome views. Thanks for the vid!
Sketch city..........good to see you flying! Happy New Year
Happy new year!
Are you going to fly this year?
@@YankeeinSC1 ha I really hope so. I'm really limited now compared to the past. But yes I plan on flying.
@@MitchG I meant that for Ripman, I hear he's considering himself too old lately and may go back to gardening
@@YankeeinSC1 😆 says the guy who now takes off on wheels? But seriously, if you feel old just get wheels and a big wing
Spicy boy with the mid flight speed bar hookup
Very crappy weather here.
Particularly (check Parachute)
Cautious (Chin Strapl
Hombres (Harness all buckles)
Realize (Radio and instruments)
Carabiners (Locked, risers correct)
Scrutiny (Speed system)
Brings (Brake handles, no twists)
Lines (Lines correct to wing)
Advantages (Aircraft, Air mental Attitude)
😁

So you're flying a Wasabi in S. Korea, the irony.
Yikes... Nice recovery.
Interesting flight….thankfully a nice safe landing
I see your political affiliation with your GoP sticker /s
😆 I wish I were sponsored. Funny I have a gopro sticker but recorded with a insta360
