Speedflying / Speedriding

Very cool hobby. Looks like a ton of fun. Serious question: Have you ever taken a single flight without a GoPro recording?

How do you even go about starting this hobby? It looks so cool

Tandem parasailing to single parasailing to putting skis on and parasailing. It is a bit dangerous though like all sports where what is holding you in the sky is a canopy of fabric.

I fly speedwings and big wings out here in CO. Where are you located? Last small wing was a firefly 16. Looking into a hybrid min/speedwing and really close to pulling the trigger on a Zero 3 15 or 17. What do you fly? My big wing is an AirDesign Vivo.

I don't post many speedflying videos but I intend to start....for some paragliding check these out. One of my personal favorite sledders here in CO is loveland pass.

Oh, and for anyone reading this, yes speedflying/speedriding is every bit as fun as it looks, and its actually 100x more fun than that. Its fucked up how fun it is. Skiing has taken such a backseat in my life since starting flying a couple years ago.

You know those skiing dreams that you had as a kid where you launched off a jump and never came down? Yeah, its like that.
