4th place is nothing to get TOO excited about, but it's the first time I've ever seen 4th place getting a trophy!
The curve on this track was really hard for me and I struggled to fly it throughout the whole weekend. I finally nailed it in the semis/finals though ? #betterlatethannever

REUPLOAD-Had to fix some clips :D
I got lost, Google Maps had the wrong photos for the park that I was looking for. There are a lot of floral events in Taiwan, where they grow a ton of colorful flowers to fill up an otherwise, dull-looking park or plot of land, so I assumed this one was that kind of events. Surprisingly, it wasn't: the accurate pin was actually on the other side of this community.
Still, it was fun, I think that first park is a better location for 5" freestyle on a weekday.
Google Maps標的地方有問題,結果騎到地點以為花季結束了?實際上在別的地方 哼哼

I finally got around editing my DVR from FAI WDRC in Namwon, South Korea. Happy to meet my lofty goals this year, hopefully it won't take me another 5 years to compete at WDRC again ?

I didn't expect to edit a video for this practice session, but I stumbled upon a DVR clip from exactly a year ago and thought it would be interesting to see my progression (or lack of it)
First clip is from 2022, second is from this year :D

I qualified 6th at TIRT FAI Taipei race over the weekend but didn't do well in the eliminations and took myself out. I kicked myself over it (as well as my ovaries) but it is what it is!
Thanks to my sponsors for keeping me up in the air!

And to HQPROP for sponsoring goodies at the race :D
I had a great time meeting so many new pilots from neighboring countries and seeing familiar faces.
And hearing the very top pilots tell me I've become wayyy faster is a huge boost to my confidence. I know I know, don't build my confidence on other people blahblahblah but it's nice to see my efforts bear fruit ?
I've flown LED tracks before, but this takes the cake. You have no reference to your surroundings and suddenly whooosh, the ground comes rushing into your face and you kiss the dirt.
