Try not to kill yourself - Speedflying 

Im sorry to hear about your friend, loosing someone you love is never easy but its also the dark side of this sport, you get to meet the most awesome people on the planet, just to have them dissapear in an instant that is something that i did not know going in to the sport, the gang that started flying together were immortal.. until we weren't and its strange, other people's accident's affect me, much more than my own does wish you the best Rob, take care of yourself

@@MarosVice908 appreciate it man and safe flying. All the best

@@MarosVice908 "other people's accident's affect me, much more than my own does" I'm agree with that a lot. thanks for sharing, all best to you

​@@karleess I partially DON'T agree with it. I'm sensitive to other people's tragedies, but the OP encouraged them to take more care with their own life. Instead of committing to that, they say they are not so affected by their own accident. Are they going to learn from it as they were implored to?

Thank you for your honest heartfelt comment. If you look across the board in aviation you find the same big problem at every level from Wing to rocket proximity flying. Every kind of airplane in every kind of paraglider has run into the ground. My uncle was a mechanic in the Philippines during the second world War . Whenever all the fighter pilots came back to the base the guys who were in good shape with plenty of fuel went over and took a pass through the swamp grass that was 10 ft tall and it just flew up in the sky and made a hell of a display and the other guy who was in trouble went and landed first he didn't go through the grass. My uncle complained to the base commander, because it was hard on the propellers. The bass Commander said"whatever it takes to make these guys feel like they can face another mission and win whatever it takes if they come home and they fly through the swamp grass and they're happy and they think they're going to win on the next pass when they go out good we'll get another propeller."something about proximity flying pulls people in to their death.

i know we all could benefit more of seeing each others accidents, than just the sunshine videos Blue skies and soft landings!

@@MarosVice908 True, your talent and experience are an inspiration to me. That's why I will also take the advice to heart. Cheers!!

Thank you for a nice comment you said you did not understand people like me, so let me give you a glimpse of my brain what f i told you i got stage 4 lung cancer, with 3 months left to live would your comment still be the same? would you still tell me to play it safe? and would the words even mean anything? people talk about risk, like one could live forever, if you just are careful enough, but that is not true, you will die, no matter how you play your cards my mind goes to these places quite often and I'm always reminded that i am just a temporary small insignificant piece of dirt, drifting through this vast universe my heart will stop beating, my body will rot, worms will eat my flesh, and my bones will become dust Its both a blessing and a curse in the same time that it is liberating, its also soul crushing but its true, and give me nothing but truth i refuse to rest on comfortable lies it can be a fight to find meaning, with this knowledge embedded inside you, but flying helps, it's one of the few things in my life that actually feels real you see my flying as a death wish, for me it is life And i wish the same for me, as i do for you A nice clear day, with a nice view, a gentle breeze, and a soft landing, with some laughs with good friends

@@MarosVice908 That's all well and cool, but if don't have cancer, a little bit of patience and discipline will allow you to do these kinds of things for the next fifty years rather than the next five.

@@Sethgolas The difference of 5 and 50 years is nothing really either there is a life after death, meaning we live forever or there is nothing in either case, i dont think the amount of years on this planet is what mattered but i get your point, patience and discipline is a good trait to have in life

@@MarosVice908 man, you do not strike me as very smart. You can try and convince yourself that you're being profound and wise with the BS philosophy that so many use to excuse poor decision making in extreme sports, but you come off as a fool to the rest of us. You showed extremely poor decision making in this video, mostly in the low energy barrel roll and wingover landing that was way too close to the ground. I don't care how much of a cynic you are, there are still people that care about you. Quit being selfish and make good decisions for their sake if you won't do it for your own.

Well said❤

Look at his other videos. Probably more than 2 years in the sport.😂 But I get what you mean and you are right!

Life is whatever you want it to be, so is flying i have one unbreakable rule, and that is to not cause willful harm to others, other than that, ill mostly do what i want i do not consider myself constrained by laws or social norms, i follow my own moral compass and i dont mix drugs and flying some things are better enjoyed on their own

ever since i was a child, i have always been a little reckless ive chopped one of my legs with an axe, sawed the other foot with an chainsaw i have been shot with an bow and arrow broken my hand 2 times, broken wrist 2 times, broken toes, broken fingers i was the kid who jumped from the highest places, climbed the highest tree, rock climbed the steepest parts every month my mother would take me to the doctor to get stitches, and there is not one part of my body, where i don't have scars that stems from my childhood, and that's just me thats how i am created i did not ask to be this way, but i am and if i die doing speedflying, at least i died doing what i love, and how many that has lived, can say the same thing? whatever comes, let it come ill take the good, with the bad

Is this supposed to be profound?

@@pabloroblesgil1 its closer to a mental illness

Enjoy the journey! And share the fuckups, at least to your friends, it keeps everyone a little sharper ;)

Hello Mr chickenwingdude I like your philosophy And i can feel, as i grow older, that the urge for quick little hits getting a little quieter, for every year, i am a little more patient, and more satisfied with simple peace i can see myself, becoming ''the tourist'', that you are talking about wish you a good day, sir!

ye, been planning to do so, but editing is a lot of work, especially with commentary The beautiful side of the sport, i have shown in my other videos, this video was meant as a blank contrast to those thanks for giving my butt a kick, i got some time this week, maybe ill get the ball rolling

Everyone that shares their wins, should also share their defeats, so no problem🙂 I was back in the air about a month after i broke my back, got a friend to carry my backpack, and hiked slowly up the mountain, and choose a day where it was windy on launch I dont think my back will ever be as it once was, but thats ok, i can take the pain

@@MarosVice908 Glad you're in the air again.

cant get enough of em

Nah I'm a better pilot than him and I learned by watching videos. Like, I was just like "NO BRO DONT GO BEHIND THE RIDGE THERE'S A ROTOR THERE!" lol

@@LarsLarsen77 yes that was creepy :-) now he knows also

i was speed-kiting in the middle of the mountain alone, gradually creeping further and further up the mountain, staying on the limit of what i could handle with a 15 kvadrat, with trimmers fully open then a gust came, or i got close to the venturi and i lost control luckily, this time, i was not in an dangerous area, but i learned a lot from this. you can actually hear me say in the video (in norwegian) its a whole lot of fun, until the fun dissapear

@@MarosVice908 Thank you very much for the answer! Stay safe and blue skies 💙

i'm not worthy

Bad pilot with poor decision making. It doesn't have to be this risky

A speedwing is for sure more collapse stable than a paraglider, more pressure inside the canopy, shorter lines and more speed but also if a collapse do happen, the result is much more violent

​@@MarosVice908 sounds logical.. thx

Never try, never know

yes, this was all me all but the last clip was from the 2 first years of flying, at least for me, the beginning was the most dangerous. its when i had the most ''drive'' and very little experience and skill to back it up Don't be discouraged by this film, speedflying can be a relative safe sport, stick to a big wing, choose the days you fly with caution, and find a good mentor to learn from so if this is something you're interested in, i say go for it!

Enjoy it! A life in the sky is one of a kind Same to you friend

Dont want to waste my luck, ill use it in the mountains

i am a stick collector they are my friends

So I had a lot of accidents during paragliding and stopped after 5 years, because i recognised, that the weather and the unvisible air conditions are very hard to judge before start. as you write it, it sounds like a safe sport. I think you can do everything in a safe and a risky way. Everyone needs to find his compromise....

the possibilities are endless

its the accidents i have had after almost a decade of flying, all of them, besides the last clip is from my first 2 years of flying I'm not particular proud of being self taught, in hindsight its almost a little disrespect to the people that did not have a course to take, that died to get us the education system, and gear we have today, but i did not know, what i know now i saw your video, you seem like a fun bunch of guys to dick around with :) hope to see you in the air sometime!

@@MarosVice908 sorry for delay bud, work got in the way last few days.. Yep, pritty much the same, mostly all our accedents was in the first year or so of the person flying. We have only been at it for 3 years so far, so still new to the sport and learning everyday... haha.. Were all self taught, unfortunately no speedflying or speedriding courses in Scotland. My wife was going to go to the pro speedflying course in the alps, but unfortunately managed to shattered her ankle before getting there. 😬 Unfortunately it didn't fix and now the joint is being removed and fused together soon, not ideal.. (Thankfully it was her ideal to go flying that day not mine, lol. Although I did get her into the sport... 🙄) End of the day, I don't think its a sport that people get into just to stay fit. I think that the type of people who are happy to strap a wing above there head and run off a mountain to see what its like without training probably already know exactly what there stepping into, I certainly did. Its been exactly as dangrous as I expected... abasultliy deadly, just as I thought... no surprise there. I would have possibly gone to a course if there were any in my vicinity, but its also just not my genral way of doing things, lol. My only worry is with people with no previous history of extreme sports wanting to do it and being unaware of the 'exact' amount of danger there putting themselves in.. I'm away to be 43 in a day or two, meny, meny years of injuries (or as I prefer: memories❤, lol). I think the comments are funny in speedflying, some people are so bad for trying to hide there mistakes.. so meny seem to sort off insist/pretend they never have accedents? Really? In speedflying? No accedents? Watching accedents is a grate way to learn all the unexpected stuff.. Good for you putting them up too bud 👍 Hope to see you in the sky sometime ✌

looking back with what i know now, i would never have chosen that take off And thats the biggest danger with speedflying, you dont know, how much you dont know but this is what happens when you choose to learn yourself one of the most extreme sports in the world, learning by doing. i don't think i had even a 100 flights yet, when this happened. but still.. the day after this accident happened, i did 2 things.. i ordered a new wing, and a beginner course, i was never going to stop yes, the last video was when i broke my back, another great lesson learned I had not been flying for 3 months straight, and misjudged my altitude loss towards the landing area, my plan was to do a 270, but when i came over to the landing, i saw that i had not enough height to do this maneuver, the result.. you saw it in the video The take-away i got from it, was that the flying skills age really quickly, and one should be extra careful when it's been a long time since flying in hindsight, this is just common sense, but its too easy to be hyped, when you haven't been in the air for a while

@@MarosVice908 What you don't know will kill you... glad you learned and thanks for sharing your mistakes. Stay safe out there.

that's quite a strong statement Why do you think that?

Surely if you don't seek thrills, you may aswell be dead...

you could be right but also, the only way you know me, is via this youtube channel i dont think my friends would describe me in the same way

i am not a perfect human being far from it i have many flaws but at least i show my fuckups, that must count for something right?

@@MarosVice908 Sure! But learning should be your highest priority. Way higher than posting your mistakes on youtube. You keep launching on stony hills with too little slope, and pay the price You keep landing on stony places, or into obstructions with the wind in your back, and pay the price You keep making stunts in situations where you really should fly straight out to gain alttitude, and hit the ground. Watch this video and learn! ;)

i wish you a great day Mr ozone

​@MarosVice908 I appreciate your video. Don't let anybody break your mind. You stay safe and I want you too live okay, as a bright future after all your pain, as same as me from my kiting sports. God is watching you, along with its Angels, and I am 1 of those good Angels looking out for you. Please gain more Altitude so I have you around Please, and amen😃🧚‍♂️🦅🪂❤️❣️👍👍👍🙏👁
