Tweet

Speedgliding (or speedriding or speedflying) is the new racy combination between sliing and flying created by a few crazy french guys. The first speedrider are experienced or professionnal acro pilots or skydivers. But once seen speedgliding inspires everybody. Pilots, skiers, kiters and alpinists tried it meanwhile and became fans instantly. Due to the high speed and the proximity of the ground, speedgliding is for the pros who know what they are doing, but it is very contagious and accessible for all skiers and paragliders who are seeking after adrenaline. Watch some speedriding videos on my blog (http://speedgliding.blogspot.com) and tell me your opinion. Do speedriders will invade the ski pistes? Do this new fun sport need new rules?
