I highly appreciate the calm style of this video. The music is very subtle and your comment useful. Your like a mixture of Textilflieger and Paragliding XC Stories - with the difference that you also do competitions. Please create more of these videos!
Thank you for this comment. Being compared to paragliding XC stories is a huge honour for me, since I learned allot from him in the last years. I've got my equipment mostly dialled in and will definitely do more of this with live commentary and maybe more flight analysis like this one. This kind of content has such small viewership potential... I'm always amazed people actually watch this and comment on it.
Hi Jerry, awesome video! I really enjoyed watching this, including the zoomed out overview in the end. Question: Why was the 1st mistake a mistake? Did you ignore information at that time that should have made you take the short route? It's not just an unfortunate choice/gamble?? 😊 Anyway, thanks for sharing and keep it up!✌️
Rough estimation... just short of 1km longer distance that I have to fly and 1km in a glider that does 45-50 on average this takes you that extra minute or two. Its also easier to find the center of the thermal with more pilots. As you can see from the video there is only 3 pilots in my thermal and allot more(30 at least) in the thermal further to the east where the leading gaggle went. My mistake was flying so conservatively on a day where I could see that its going up fast in allot of places.
@Itsallgoodtogo ahh ok i understand now. I missed that there were a lot more pilots talking the shorter route. Thanks and thanks again for the great content! =D

Nice flight
Gaggle flying at Bischling is always fun. But this was super crowded ;)
That's how it is in competitions :) You get used to it.
Awesome comp content, thanks
