alpine tree cruising (new spot)
#1
I'm not entirely happy with this video, almost put it in my "mediocre thread". It has some micro shakes and wobbles, and the spot was kind of intimidating - steep grounds, high trees, so i kept being drawn to the open areas, even in those few flights already got stuck to certain paths and didn't really dare to explore more...



Also shouldn't have letterboxed it, but rendering takes so damn long on my laptop i didn't want to do it again.

Silky smooth flying, and some smooth music to go with an amazing looking spot, all comes together for a really nice combination! Switzerland looks stunning, sadly I have only ever seen the inside of Zurich airport!
Windless fields and smokeless builds

Stunning! Some nicely coordinated rolls there as well.

I guess that entire area will be covered in snow in a few more months?

Even if there were flying issues (although I don't see them really) the location is so beautiful that it's hard to see any problems with your flying. Too busy just enjoying the intense terrain. I am sure crashing is a total PITA there! It's one thing when the walk of shame is a hike, it's another when you need climbing equipment lol.

Yes, and most likey roads will be closed then... i'm sure it would look nice though. Smile

When flying a new spot i'm always worried about failsafes or video break-ups, but here I also was especially scared to get stuck in a tree... we wouldn't have had anything with us to get quads down again.

Regarding the flying issues, there's a tiny little wobble whenever i change direction, but tbh i only could see it on big TV... not sure why though.
