We’ve been teaching people speedflying since 2015 and our main concerns are your safely and fun. However our camps are not for pussies: make sure you’re ready to sweat, hike, wait for the weather and do tons of groundhandling. Check out our events :
Beginner course
Details
! Entry requirements: paragliding or skydiving background.
How long: 7 days (beginner) or 10 days (beginner extended).
Next course: 5-14 June 2015 (Extended, Italy) ; 4-13 September 2025 (Extended, Montenegro)
Group: 2-6 persons.
Where: perfect area with nice grassy hills for different stages or learning. Extended course in Montenegro has a line with lift access (for later stage of the course).
What the course is about:
This course starts with gear review and some theoretical info about speedflying wings and harnesses. Then we have groundhandling sessions and start practicing launches. It’s very important to have good control of your wing while running and doing little flights close to the ground. Big part of this course is the choice of flying locations as after the course you are expected to be able to fly solo on similar hills. The main purpose of the course is to deal with different types and techniques of launches and, ideally, master no-wind launches from slopes. With more experience we move to bigger and bigger flights, gaining more altitude and trying various conditions. Within an extended course you’ll also be able to practice accuracy approaches on moderately limited landings, preparing to fly in big mountains. As we are going to have some decent flying altitude (up 700 m, weather-permitting) you will also start practicing basic piloting skills, learn to choose flying lines and suitable weather.
Depending on the group we should also be able to touch bigger hike’n’flying missions closer to the end of the course.
After a successful beginner course you can buy your own gear and aim for basic course in the Alps (with skis or footlaunching). Also you will be able to fly solo on similar simple locations. As a part of basic course offer, we welcome our “graduates” to come practice within our beginner courses on their own for free.
Footlaunch Master Camp
Details
Free if you buy a wing from us!
How long: 2 of 3 days
Next course: 30 May – 1 June 2025
Where: France
Group: 3-10 people
What the course is about: An event for those who are already flying and want to improve their foot launching skills. Works perfectly for speedriders who want to learn footlaunching in a fast and safe way,
for pilots after a long break or for those who plan to downsize.
You should have previous speedflying or speedriding experience, your own gear, insurance and you should be ready to get back to practicing simple basic skills.
On this masterclass you will learn how to find the proper places and conditions for your foot launching, what is safe and what is dangerous. We will find and practice the launching techniques according to your tasks, skills and your wing. We will discuss and practice different little details of the footlaunching techniques which will be very important later for flying smaller wings in the real life conditions.
Progressive course Footlaunching
Details
Those having their own gear and able to confidently footlaunch it in no-wind conditions can get into our big mountain course.
How long: 6 days.
Next course: summer 2025.
Group: 3-5 persons.
Location: France, ski resort with good flying altitude. Rather simple launches and landing and interesting flying lines. With good weather up to 5-8 flights per day are possible.
What the course is about:
Here you’ll continue perfecting your slope launches, learn more about the weather in the mountains and how to plan your flight on a big line. With a lot of flying time you’ll learn more about your own wing. The theory also includes flying ethics, the rules of flying on a resort and big mountain weather patterns. Two coaches with a group on this course. This is not a course to try a new wing — you should already be familiar with your gear. Our main objective is to get as much air time as possible and to learn your wing in different weather and different conditions. After this course we expect you to be able to fly solo in the same place and other popular resorts.
Pics and videos included.
Requirements: confident slope launches with no wind, accuracy landing, own gear, insurance.
Progressive course Skilaunching
Details
Those having their own gear and having mastered beginner skills in footlaunching can move on to the second stage.
How long: 6 days.
Next course: Jan 5-Jan 10.
Group: 3-6 persons.
Location: France/Italy, ski resort with good flying altitude and ski lifts. Weather permitting this is a very efficient course. Easy and safe launches are within minutes from the lifts. Ski launching opens bigger range of flying weather. Versatile flying lines. Up to 10-15 flights on a good weather day.
What the course is about:
On this course we teach different ski-launching techniques, weather patterns in big mountains and how to plan your lines. This course is similar to summer basic course, except for skilaunches. With a lot of flying time you’ll learn more about your own wing. The theory also includes flying ethics and rules of flying on a resort and big mountain weather patterns — we’ll try to cover and witness winter peculiarities of weather. Also two coaches with a group on this course. Our main objective is to get as much air time as possible and to learn your wing in different weather and different conditions. After this course we expect you to be able to fly solo in the same place and other popular resorts. This is not a fully speedriding course, we just include some aspects of it and make the available range and seasons of flying much wider and versatile.
Requirements: successful beginner stage, accuracy landing, confident freeriding skills, own gear, insurance, avalanche gear.
Online coaching
Details
This is a special offer for those who live too far and/or think they can successfully teach themselves flying. Joking.
We started flying around 2010 in a place where there was noone to ask for advice. And noone to save us from mistakes. We did a lot of them, and we know how important it is to have some kind of support. Collect 10-15 of your videos (gopro or side filming), send them to us and get a detailed feedback as to how you could improve your flying and what to do to be safer.
Price: 50 eur/set.
