Near Miss

[colin keightley]

Here's a good reason not to cut corners, a series of little balls ups turn into a big one, because I didn't leave myself enough room between me and the ridge I tried to enter the SAT too tight and too quick, my normal timing is 1 full turn before SAT entry, looking at the video it try's to enter around half a turn which results in a spin, it may look sloppy in the video but every action after the spin entry was intentional, even though it takes seconds, on spin entry I immediately go to stabilise which for me is around the crabs before the rotation had even stopped I realised I was going to be facing the ridge as soon as the rotation stop and realising I was running out of height I released asymetricaly so that I wasn't going to be facing the ridge. GOPRO camera is deceiving I was a lot closer than it looks.

Note to low airtimers this was a manoeuvre not encountered under normal flying conditions. Please do not try to copy me without proper training.
