Awesome winter sport: Speed flying
 

Don't think I'll ever have the courage to do it but it looks amazing :)

I like a sport where a first mistake is your last.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT'S AMAZING.

Is it real?

Seems like it :)
Details: "It's not hard to learn, but it takes time to get good precise inputs to control the canopy in narrow pathways and close to the ground. You need to learn canopy control in safer environments first.

Speedriding it self is not very expensive. The gear is like 1200 euros, but of course, if you dont live close to the sweetspots you need to have some cash for traveling."

damn ... that is amazing ...

That roll over is wicked !!

Cool new sport, they are some ballsy dudes.. .

very cool, do any resorts in US allow this or do you gotta do a private session somewhere with helicopter?

Google it? :)

those guys are pussies

real men do it like this - http://vimeo.com/1778399

Very fast turns, surprises me that the canopy stayed up in some of them.

saw a similar video a week ago, badass!

:thumbsup

Damn, that's amazing. I'd shit my pants to fly like that.

How the fuck do they get back after the landing? They seem to fly pretty far off base and there's no any lift in sight to drag them back.

this is awesome!

Nahhh.. Its all done in photoshop...

That's what he said :)

Fucking BEAST, someone sign me up!

That looks amazing!

On little mistake and he'll slam into a cliff that's insane

I'll stick to walking my chihuahuas :thumbsup
