At least a wingsuit doesn't seem that expensive...

the right turn through the chute at 1min is f%@kin insane.

Yeh I have to admit that was tops to watch - better than the splatt suits stuff and BALLS o' steel pulling that right hander thru the checkout isle.

Gotta be the most intense and dangerous sport out there along with bat suits,no room for error sports...would be so good to do BUT I prefur living a bit longer thanks

so rad nothing in my opinion comes close

That one beats it alright !! How is it when he goes under the power lines !!??fork!!!!
I saw a doco of this sport an sadly this fully experienced dude smacked into a bridge while trying to go threw the arches ,other than that, awsome stuff

That was insane, where can i find training to do that!!!

2:08 --> that turn is NUTS! O.O

insane . yoou have to love the links but....speed flying crashes ...near death bits ..you would need 2 ten pound brass ones to try that .

I would be suspicious with that price. the jump suit I use is a basic one (glorified over alls) and it cost 600. plus to use a wing you need a c licence, min jumps is 200. Ive spent $3336 so far and ive only clocked 26 solos. not as cheap as you think

From doing some extreme sports and inches from life/death situations - Its funny how these people have the greatest respect for life and try to live it to the fullest...

Life in your years - not years in your life

So throw off your cotton wool jacket crack open a beer & check some more of these farkyeah vids out

every serious skydiver knows someone/ has had a friend bounce.

The secret is to hold onto the grass when you get the ground. Its the second bounce that kills you.

the spermsuits definately have the speeed ..but those inverted turns and drops through rocky bits of rock and chutes and mountain..............f.......rk....it is the sh.t !!!!

You will start from paragliding and your course in WA will be in Albany;

I would say you need at least 100 hours of active flying and advanced rating (easy to get) to start speed flying with a larger wing (depends on your body weight 16 to 18 m2) and as you feel more comfortable with your wing you'll reduce the size of your wing.

For speed riding on the snow, you need to be an advanced skier and know how to pack and run away before you get caught as it is not legal in most places (not that hard if it's not in the peak season)

Funny thing is the cost of the course, equipment & even a motor to enable you to fly everyday is less than half of the cost of a jet-ski

I used to do speed riding but as we don't have snow here in Perth I moved on to motorized flying;




Most of the pilots you see in this video are kite surfers too
