Here ya go... Saw this a while ago. looks like a lot of fun! Not sure where you're going to do that around here though. Have a feeling that a lot of the resorts here in the states will outlaw it for liability reasons. Bad enough getting hit by someone else skiing or snowboarding, can't imagine what it would be like if they were coming out of the sky at me..haha.

there is some information about a speedflying rig made by ozone on their website www.flyozone.com - their prototype is called the bullet. There is a short film too - audio is in French.

It doesn't look expensive. £400? Kites are more expensive than that. Looks really amazing, I've wanted to try paragliding lessons but £900.. pfft.

The add I see is for 1,650 for JN and 1,450 for Ozones bullet. !
Even that isn't too extreme when you consider that includes harness and such. + it looks like a one kite quiver !
