The beauty of having two pc's on your desk.

One for work, one for surfing!

......but on that note, I better get back out and check everything is ok in the refinery!

What an amzing session today. Flew from 1pm till we lost the light at 9pm!

Awesome fully powered sunset session on my 4m Blade. Didnt get on with my seatbelt, but perseveered with it throughout. Will be swapping back to my 3 point setup, but at least ive tried the 2 point out.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a little calmer so i can try some big rotations

Yeah mate, always easy to spout off about how good one setup is over another. But none of that opinion carries any clout unless the rider has actually used both setups.

The evening sunset sessions are awesome mate. Nothing quite like it.
You boys better get out soon, youre missing out on so much.

Good sessiontoday, was trying at times. But when i came through it was well worth teh effort. Nailed some huge rotations today.

Fowards 180, and 360s in both directions and a few big reverse 540s and almost did a complete 720, but didnt quite get that last 180 in.

Deffo one for next time.

Even wind this coming week is looking good so some afterwork sessions are deffo on the cards
