Come with us on an exciting, albeit brief, adventure in the fringe and dangerous world of big mountain proximity speedflying.
From New Zealand and based in Colorado; we follow the story of extreme sports enthusiast Scotty Dobbo as he finds the work-life balance it takes to pursue his passions combining mountaineering and flying.
The Descensionists introduces the niche sport of speedflying to a mass audience while showcasing the opportunities it can open in the the upper boundaries of the human flight experience.
Filmed and Directed by Edward Clem/@bigeasyphoto
Edited by Sean O'Brien/@seanob.productions
FPV Drone Footage by Dayne Baumchen/@gr8.dayne
Pilots: Scotty Dobbo/@scotty_dobbo and Derek Herra

Great story and beautiful movie guys! Keep going. We need more real stories about speedflying! But no more crashing please! 🖖😁

@descensionists 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the kind words! We definitely have some more stories to share in the future that don't involve accidents 😅. In fact this film was never meant to be about an accident but unfortunately a mistake was made and it just made sense to share it. 🙌

@digitalreject3233 6 месяцев назад

I've done some thrilling, physically challenging and dangerous stuff in my 65 years, performance motorcycles, snow mobiles, ice skating on very thin ice, skiing, roller blades, wind surfing, triathlons, bodybuilding, some rock climbing, mountain bikes, just to name a few. But this is on another level. I currently reside in northeast Georgia and I do some hiking, paddle board and kayak, catamaran sailing and open water swimming. The riskiest thing I do now is bike riding up and down these local mountain roads. The up is the workout. The down is the thrill. I've always wanted to try hang gliding or paragliding but I'll leave the proximity stuff to the younger more experienced flyers...What these guys are doing reminds me of wing suit flying. Super cool video.

Everyone gets to die, only some of us get to live. Skydiver, paraglider and powered paraglider pilot and I know why the birds sing. Of course they’re kiwis and kiwis can fly😉

@cosmiccharlie8294 6 месяцев назад

I remember talking with other sport riders above San Diego and the wise one's knew there was a level of riding that you needed to stop at and be satisfied with. I enjoyed the hell out of it for about eighteen months without a close call and had reached a comfortable place with my riding. I was rewarded with a lasting boat load of good memories.

@scotty_dobbo 6 месяцев назад

For sure truth to this comment. I've come to realise my comfort zone now and have much better self-mitigation measures in place after this accident. I wish it didn't take getting this messed up to learn the lesson but sharing it here is a way to share my free lesson to others in the sport. 🫶

In aviation, they say there are old pilots and bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots. That one dude in the video said he’d prefer to be gone by 50, well press on then, mate! No shame in that.

Park at the Copper Conoco, take a bike ride down the path until you find a spot to swoop one of the ponds with sufficient energy to pop up and land on the path. I flew a whole lot of lines around there but was always looking at that while driving tourists in a shuttle van. Would be amazing if to see someone send it if the water is high enough.

@scotty_dobbo 5 месяцев назад

I've spent a lot of time pursuing the river toe drag and made it happen a few times and even gone for a swim or two but you have to decide between proximity flying the whole way to the rec path OR gliding out to get a good angle on the water swoop.

Another great way to die. I climb and have worked professionally at heights so I have no problem with taking risks or being above the surface of the earth. What I don't like is unmanaged risk with potentially catastrophic outcomes - which is exactly what we see here. There's no margin for error, and no way to come back from a mistake or malfunction.

@scotty_dobbo 6 месяцев назад

For sure! That's why we share this accident and talk about the risks. I would have much rather done a film of some big objective overseas but we took a different route after my complacent decision making. If you mitigate the risk by checking your gear and mentality thoroughly then it's just as safe as climbing. If that one rope snaps or a knot isn't done right then SPLAT. Gotta be thorough with your checks and give yourself the best chance at having a good time.
