holding on so drifting firm or can be
very challenging but improving this
skill can yield big gains in air time
we're going to much more detail on our
website for a good challenge let's make
it overcast
make the ground damp and green throw in
a downhill slope and begin on a small
hill with no pilots to help the
technique it works here should work
anyway
yeah that is just rubbish that thermal
has got a lot of dress that's being
affected by the venturi at the top of
the hill and it's got a sharp spike of
lift at the front which is very hard to
work because you swing around on such a
high bank angle and end up in the sink
at the back so I think I'm going to go
and have a look for something better
I'm just using the weight transfer in my
harness not if you laughter look I'm
going to follow this the slime a little
bit into it
keeping my hands high so that I can gain
some ground while I'm pushing into and
I'm trying to position myself in a
better place to aim to the place that I
want the circle to release from
that's much better that's not drifting
me back over the ridge nearly as fast
nice little Anderson so in this position
I've got much more freedom to work the
film on it's not getting pushed over the
ridge so quickly which means I can
Center much better on the left I can
actually work around the core and get my
circles to line up with the center of
the strongest lift the slider
yes anyone needed a second but pull it
around it'll probably just keep
everything up off the hill that's going
up pretty high sort of class and the
stuff they're planning with me
finding out there I've just hit an
asymmetric spike of lift on that side so
I'm going to explore off to the
southeast of the try and see if I can
find a better part of the call
doesn't seem to be anything usable we're
returning back to my original address
I'm certainly ignoring the hill now
they're kind of shuffling I'm watching
the bird in front of me he's sliding
down he's out the front there hello
laughter the closet
I'm just responding to the strongest
list all the time and trying to adjust
my circle to capture this that's really
thinking about the drum flash you can
see at this point I'm just about to
start drifting a different line on
northeast and that's the providing one
for the day
okay you're coming back on the bus baby
I'm using a steadying hand on the
outside riser here don't do this all the
time some gliders like the only gay
accept don't respond at all to outside
brake control and the harness is very
one of these I'm trying to stabilize
myself mainly for your benefit amigo for
a camera so this service is more stable
it also provides a very steady turn of
only adjusting with weight shift a
little bit of a break
this helps me map the thermal and its
own like this climb takes me all the way
up to face with a enthusiastic Cline's
give us a bit more reliable that if I
drop out on our nose the true status so
I can apply to the next thermal source
to visualize the climb curtain that's
coming to the lift on the baseline
so much more about thermal drift beat
