150km Flatland FAI | New Zealand Paragliding XC | Convergence Flying in Central Otago 

It’s pretty cool that you’re getting shout outs from Greg Hammerton on his channel now. Shows you’re making great content (probably the best paragliding videos being produced right now IMHO) Another epic flight. You came soooooo close, were you gutted?. Blue sky and flat lands, you’re really challenging yourself now!🤣

Wow. Felt very Peaceful, Benjamin.. Got to hit the skies back. Thank you so much.. :)

I was really rooting for you in the end. Thanks for capturing the tension. Hyperlapse is so helpful in learning to understand the dynamics of a day and how to pick lines from these videos and it is really great to see it more often. These clouds were mesmerizing.

You're setting the standard for best XC videos on RU-vid mate!! Great flights, great planning, awesome editing, educational commentating, good length, etc. I could go on. For someone who's an "armchair" pilot you really put me in the sky with you. So appreciated. Keep up the amazing work, I hope you can make a full time living doing this mate!

Amazing edits. You are by far my favourite PG xc video dude! :)

good day, good pilot and it works

Great flight! Wonderful panoramas! Great video edit! And most important of all, a great personality! Enjoy flying safely and keep up the good work💪🤙

It's so cool to follow your adventures when it's just not so well xc weather on the other half of the globe. That keeps me motivated for the next season

Nice one Ben, I love your videos and living here in the UK with the weather being so pants at the moment your videos are a little reminder of good days ahead. New Zealand is such a beautiful country! Well done mate keep it going...

Another amazing flight. So close on closing. Gotta keep that positive attitude because it looked like a phenomenal day to me!

Excellent flight Ben and video too.

it's not about the numbers! It was a great flight & you had a blast, and that's what's important :)

Great...

Thanks Ben, was hanging out for some more content from you. Thought you might have headed up to the camp so expected a 2 or 3 week gap. Good flight, I like this period weather-wise now for the run into autumn.

Awesome stuff. I have been stalking XContest and keenly waiting for this one. Miss that country. That area around Rough Ridge and Poolburn has an eerie loneliness to it.

Amazing bro

So close!!!! What a day!!! Did the hawk manage to close?!

Incredible flight man well done. What is your side camera setup?

Hello! What is the wires that you have attached from lines to your body? Thanks! I love your flights!

Really nice flight, but I hardly see you push speedbar or is it just not in the video? Pushing speedbar on a two-liner is giving you the performance.

Cool video. Can you also do video on how you set up camera on Carabiner? What tripod do you use to attach camera with clamp?

Keep making me home sick bro ! Enjoying been sick

So close yet still wonderful! Have you considered flying a couple of kilometers to the flats in the morning to make closing the triangle easier in the evening?

Great flight and video Ben. How many inland hours have you racked up?

What a day! The flying counts. The stats don't.

What size memory card you using on your 360 camera? Are you recording on it the whole time as well? My Insta360 files are just ridiculously huge… Congrats on the hike n fly comp as well…
