If you want to be the best , fly with the best and learn. I just started flying XC 2 years ago! I now fly with who I think are the best Australian pilots, Andrew Horchner , Craig Collings , Fred Gungl , Garth Camac and Brian Webb. I have seen the results of this time spent with these pilots as I am now 12th in the Australian National Ladder. I've learned everything from these guys. Fly with the best to be the best.
