Neil Wattam Well , when we find some good mountain resort with a working ski lifts , it will reduce walking by 90% ;) In the other hand , hike & fly is a special thing on its own. I look forward to that moment. Nice sunny day , hike up the mountain , enjoying the view & nature , and than takeoff ! I`m thrilled just by thinking of it... :) :) :) You can check out one of my older video - Speed Riding. Very little walking involved :D SpeedRiding Beginners course
Thanks. It is 16m2. It was a 10 days training. 8 days of ground handling and takeoff / landing simulations + 2 days of flying. Various wind conditions. From almost 0m/h to 10m/s.
+Stefan Venus It is Xt16. Very forgiving wing . Super solid in strong & turbulent winds. Ultra thick lines and very durable surface. Does not have the best glide ratio , but its cells are wide and big , so it is not prone to collapse. It have a long brake range , so you cant stall it easy. It dives in turns and that makes it very fun to fly on a steep surfaces. Excellent choice for beginners. It is made from Bullet 09 model and it is fast , even when trimmers are up in default position. Hope this info will help you in some way. ~Cheers ~
while in the beginning looks like a workout man no pain no gain man I wish I discovered speedflying a long time ago I'm from Puerto Rico and we have a lot of grassy steep hills over there but never too late when we still a life looks like a lot of fun a top can you tell me how much you have to spend on all the equipment and thank you bro for responding to my messages cheers bro good vibes
Hehe , its never to late while you are alive ! All equipment you will ever need cost about 1500$. Rig ( harness ) , glider, helmet , boots etc ... You can even buy some used equipment on a FB mini-wing market: facebook.com/groups/108851669263349/ Watch some more vids on YT about it. Ask around. You`ll find some brutal footage`s and possibly some good contacts around USA , close to Dominican R. Wish you god luck man ! :)
I am a little boy from China who loves life and extreme sports. I want to do what I like like like you, but I don't know where to buy downhill umbrellas. There is no such thing in China.
