enjoy! I really like what they're doing!

Great stuff, thanks for sharing!!!

That was pretty cool. Worth watching all the way through which is not something I usually do on videos that long.

Thanks, this is one of the most badass videos I've seen in a long time, well worth the watch. Paragliders, skis and speedwings, these guys are masters of the air, no joke. Man as a bird :Ange09:
Check out the rate of rise in that thermal when they go up for the second run, now THAT is getting lofted!

And mixed the kiting in too. They were using HQ Montanas as a ski lift in one session. Those guys own the mountain and the air.

i can't believe i sat through the whole thing. It was very well done.

there goes 20 minutes well spent thanks for sharing

Nice video to post.

Fairly well produced and edited with good flow. Like how they fly up in the air on Paragiders using updraft... and then also ride up on ground using depower(HQ Montana.)

...But the Mt Blanc speed Flying one earlier this year is still my favorite video as yet: http://www.wimp.com/speedflying/

speed riding is very appealing. Like to know cost of speed riding kites. Sure it's a grand plus, plus...(they don't list costs)
Ozone makes them:http://www.flyozone.com/speed/en/products/gliders/


Since I first tried kiting it was always a forthought to use a kite to go up hill(on ground..not in the air!). But gliding(speed flying) makes me dream at a greater pursuit..

Good video to dream by, anyway.

Looks like the Ozone speedwing packages (wing & harness) go for around $2200

:o my arms just wont make that trip... :bird:

What an amazing journey. I would think they would get rather cold paragliding for 3 hours.

Crazy Jon video was great too.

Great stuff! Would have to be a group thing "we'll all go together when we go"

Linky link linked..finally working.

@3:02.....
...Crazy Jon did that basejump thing off a bridge where canopy is out and hangs below you upside down and you jump past it to fully deploy it. That move's a little dangerous if canopy snags on bridal line when twisting around..or if you don't clear it and snag it with your body.

Who is the insurance company that took on Crazy Jon as a policy holder...or does he have any.?

Wonderful video, thanks

But me... I'd rather be spending the evening with an insurance salesman than doing this :shocked2:

"...this is how an angel flies .... maybe I should cry for help ... "
