@@wildniscamper7276 the last one was the only accident where i actually got hurt, happens quick with the small canopies I try, sometime good, sometime shit Wish you a nice day
All those near invisible fences with lads trying to hug the ground -Swiss farmers having to check their fences for dead thrill seekers must be a routine task.
This is so high class content ! Your flying is definitely superb. What’s your take on ground handling ? Any special things you do on the ground ? @MarosVice908
Thanks man! i have really learned to love groundhandling, its one of the most important thing you can do, besides flying regularly i think the hours i have spent groundhandling and flying are quite close you can train almost everything on the ground, like where the stallpoint is, weighshift, take off, active piloting, flying backwards, backflip/frontflip in harness only your imagination is the limit im also blessed(and cursed) by living on the west coast of norway, where the wind is usually strong, but the air that comes in from the ocean is often smooth
Unbelievably beautiful! Like, the lines at 2:00 or 2:54 must be one of the most gorgeous I have seen for a while. Especially the latter one. Wow, just wow. Looped that few times through. That's like pure definition of freedom.
Amazing how you can walk out after crashes like these. These impacts seem so hard that I would have guessed bad injury for many of them. Also damn, every clip is filmed in so beautiful nature, that it's also paradoxically relaxing and beautiful to watch, even though getting hurt is anything but that. Like really, darn that is some beautiful landscape. Must check your other videos.
With this video, I stumbled across your account and your content is awesome! I used to skydive, years ago now, so I have some canopy flying experience. I liked freefall, and being under canopy... this seems like the best of both! I'm curious how you got into this, your experience before and if you did a training course somewhere? Blue Skies buddy!
Thanks man! it all started with a tandem skydive, wich developed to me getting skydiving license And just like you i saw some videos on youtube about speedflying, and basically just bought the equipment and went to a hill.. Thinking that i had experience, and that i would be fine. but flying in the mountains is a different game than flying in the sky. I almost killed myself in the process of learning. so if you want to start with speedflying, my recommendation would be to take a course. if they don't have in your area, its a perfect opportunity to travel That i had to travel was my excuse for not taking a course, witch i eventually did anyways, after a serious accident, and also to fly legal on a course you will meet a lot of cool people, that will teach you the basics, and the most common pitfalls. a course is worth every penny, and just a cool experience all together if you have any other questions, just ask Blue skies and soft landings :D
Really nice lines. Coming from a skydiving background, I’m curious as to why you put your whole hand through the toggles. Is this a comfort thing or something different? Love the edits
Thanks man! Holding the toggles as near the lines as possible, gives the most ''contact'' with the wing, as i hold my thumb and index finger almost directly on the brake line, i can feel much more what is happening with the wing, than if i hold it like skydivers typically do (the whole knuckle through) this gives me information like; is the air smooth, how is the pressure of the wing, and allows for more precise minor adjustments, just flicking my wrist, instead of having to move my whole hand thanks for a great question
Across aviation from the simplest Wing that we fly with a harness hanging under it like a paraglider all the way up to the best performing airplane there's one universal death one thing that unites them all. Proximity flying. It doesn't matter what kind of an aircraft it is. Somebody has been trying to fly it right next to the ground and killed himself in it. I watch the show about the general aviation death rate and one guy said that a plane in the mountains turned in to a valley and he decided to die when he made the turn 10 minutes later he hit some place in the mountain but it didn't matter once he made that turn into that canyon it was too narrow to turn around it was too deep to fly out and he was doomed to hit the ground.
