Nice climbs! It's been smoky down here too.

@carlcolorado3549 4 күн бұрын

@@NelsonsWings The climbs were pretty fast at 450 feet per minute. I was surprised for how strong the lift was for a smoky day. I actually had to find an area of sink and spiral down to land. If I didn't have to work I would have loved to go XC. Just go until I can't go anymore

Nice to have the place to yourself! Every time I've been there, it's as crowded as the free lunch line at a paramotor fly-in. I'd like to hear more of Steve's (Nelson's Wings) unpleasant bottom landing experience!!

That was fun to watch! We were just up there at that trail head 2 weeks ago on a group electric unicycle ride. I have seen lots of your videos and whenever I am in that part of town, I always scan the sky hoping to see you fly in person someday.

Good video. Isn't it usually South in the morning and north in the evening? (you can tell I don't live there).

@carlcolorado3549 6 күн бұрын

Spring time it's like that. Summer is whatever it wants to do. Locals only fly in the morning and evenings. So during prime time you get the whole mountain to yourself.

@NelsonsWings 28 күн бұрын

Man, you hiked up pretty far. The only time I went to point of the mountain north side, I tried to launch from down low by the parking lot twice and sank out twice. That was a unpleasant experience. So I told myself that if I've ever back there I want to hike up but not as high as you did just go as low as possible just to get up into some wind and not sink out. It's a beautiful clear day for sure. Nice landing!

@carlcolorado3549 27 күн бұрын

@@NelsonsWings If you hike about half way up you should be high enough to fly the rest. This day there was no wind down low and the only option was to hike up to the top. On a good day it's pretty easy to fly from the grass! I've had lots of flights starting from the grass. Easy 5 hour flight, just need the right day.

Nice edit! It's cool to see you're still rocking that D2 sometimes. I can't wait for Red rocks, it's nice that you got to go early in the season when you had the place to yourself.

I shoot in 1080 or 1440 because I haven't really found any major difference in quality between HD and 4K unless you're watching on a really really big screen (like 70"+) even then, its marginal. Like you said, editing in 4K is also a pain in the a**. Also, KZfaq usually defaults to 1080 or 1440 anyways like it did for me on this video. You should definitely add some more content, I love watching your stuff when I'm stuck behind my desk!

@ColoradoMikeC 2 ай бұрын

nice footage.. the 4k does look good. I hate shooting in it bc it eats up memory so quick and the editing is tougher but you make it look worthwhile. might have to try it. I fly with a Gp11 or a Insta 360 x3 alot.. I was ottos this morning. good day. Flying Boulder looks really fun though. need to try it. . Can't believe how many pilots there are.. were those all ground handling people at the end, or people doing sledders? I thought aspen was busy some days! Rock on! 🙌

Way to work that bubble of lift before the LZ! So narrow and so much wind drift. Looks like a tough site to reliably make longer flights, you only have a few chances to make it work.

I always enjoy your narration. This looks like such a fun little place to fly. When I was a pre-P2, I used to watch tons of videos of this place. So I feel like I know it really well even though I've never flown it. I need to get up there and try it, it looks like it's a pretty mellow hike from the park. I'm wondering, how consistent is it? If I just drive up there some weekend do you think there's a chance it might work in the morning? I'm guessing that you only noticed the smudge on your lens after you uploaded the video haha! I added wipe my GoPro lens to my pre-flight checklist. How many hours you got on the Delta 4 now? Have you trimmed it recently? We bought laser rangefinders and built jigs and we're doing measurements at least on our gliders now. I did my photon couple of months ago, and it's still pretty close to factory trim. I sometimes wonder if you might have more success at this site and catching a thermal if you headed straight out tried to get as far away from the terrain as possible and maybe catch something where it's more consolidated instead of always being low and trying to get lift in the little bubbles that haven't coalesced.
