Gavin McClurg | Road to Red Bull X-Alps

Type: Interesting

Description:

That delicate interplay between wind, sun, clouds and a thousand other variables can be read and predicted – at a large scale – with forecasts and models. “But local knowledge is invaluable” says Gavin McClurg. That subtle understanding of how a specific place works with specific conditions is a game changer. And there are two ways to gather it: either you live in a place and fly it for years, or you tap into the knowledge of the local community, and treasure what they have to share.
