How do you progress from keen beginner to competing in a hardcore hike-and-fly race like the RedBull X-ALPS? I offer some advice to one of my ambitious flying academy members.

This video builds on the preparation recommended in The Secrets Of Pilot Progression, so if you're just starting out, watch that first on
   • The Secrets of Pilot PROGRESSION!
