You need one of those wind-thingies on your mic, Gavin! Thanks for lettings us take part from afar, I'd love to be there!

[@JJOOEE]

Really nice to have the in the air video feed. Once it is technically sorted it will be really mint. Cheers Gavin.

[@CuivTheLazyGeek]

Looks like when Gavin switched to the front camera, the mic also switched :-) I'm sure it will be worked out, this is awesome! I actually really like/prefer the Gavin cam, with wider FOV than the front cam!

[@Matt-hs9rj]

What a treat flying in the gaggle w the pros. Great to have Gavin as our man in the mix. Love it. Keep it coming.

[@pfrillele]

For me everyone who finishes the whole Competition is a Winner!Best wishes to every Athlete and good luck!

[@Jinjukei]

Great commentary, great footage, thank you!

[@Jogibaer_universe]

Yeah, a camera pilot in the air, awesome! Looking forward for more video streams from the air. 😍

[@Matt-hs9rj]

Given a break. He is working on it

[@FreeFlyerUk]

​@@Matt-hs9rj like test it before the race🤦

[@greenstripeypaint]

airviews are brilliant - but the wind noise couldn't have been a surprise.

[@naomikaya1215]

Thanks Gavin, very exciting to watch live in the air. How do you keep not colliding to each other in the air?

[@asksteevs]

Um, you... well, you steer the glider.

[@zbedr]

thanks for the aerial shots Gavin, please put a wind shield on the mic 🪂🪂

[@ToslisTosliauskas]

Amazing start, background music cool. Boris Brejcha the best💯😉🍀👍

[@RichardChambers]

Great first day!

[@marktatham]

Great job with the coverage chaps. The air cover is really awesome. I am sure that you will get that audio issue sorted but this XAlps is going to be fun to follow through your coverage. Thanks for your effort.

[@WBtimhawk]

Thanks Gavin ! Will be awesome once the kinks are worked out.

[@minibroncogermany]

😂 34:41 he is sleeping with a different team every nite… boy you got the thoughts job of them all 😂

[@SailBrazil]

Brabo

[@steveshovlar994]

Gavin, you need a windsock/dead cat on your mic!

[@beneagle5653]

Let's go!

[@CWsurf]

Gavin, really need a “Dead Cat, Wind muff”

[@MrJoel9679]

Go Rich. Aussie Aussie Aussie!!!

[@marshalld.dennen1345]

Are there any fouls in the air like sailboat racing - someone blocking a path or collision

[@BillHetzel]

Yes, right of way rules are similar to sailing. But there is no winner in a collision, just losers, so it's imperative to avoid regardless of right of way. So it's more about being obvious and predictable in your flying to help everyone fly together without bumping into each other ;)

[@0000oko]

5:30 - Spike 8:27 - mister X alps;)

[@mathieuwillaert3022]

great job, but the broadcast equipment can be better. Please have advice with professional people. It will bring the sport to an other level.

[@kylerowley1231]

Fuk yes to having gav in the air.

[@martinginsburg7222]

Wow, no one in corporate realizes that most national flags prohibit names flying on the same flag, or touching the ground. But on with it & be safe.

[@go2cloudbase]

Umm, maybe someone tell Tarquin to chill? It's the first day and they are launching. All is normal... Amazing event and amazing coverage though. Brilliant.

[@Relive93]

31:22 be careful with these carabiners!

[@FreeFlyerUk]

Sort your microphone our Gavin🤦
