What is Speedflying or Speedriding?
Speedflying is a young extreme sport which is basically flying very fast and close to the ground with very small high-performance paragliders – speedwings or speedgliders. We are searching for the most beautiful lines in the mountains and trying to fly them with maximum fun! In winter we do it with skis combining skiing and flying parts in even bigger adventures and calling it Speedriding. There is also a style of speedflying which called Speed soaring – when we use the wind which blows into the slopes and gives us the lift powerful enough to soar for the long time without descending.
What is the difference between speedflying and paragliding equipment?
A lot of solutions, technologies and techniques came in speedflying and speedriding from paragliding or even from skydiving. Those are older and better developed flying sports, and sometimes they seem very similar – but it can be a dangerous trap. Our equipment is designed and optimized for very fast short flights, aggressive piloting or speedriding. It is not about long flights, comfort or universal solutions. Everything should be light, simple, reliable, stable and work efficiently for your tasks.
There are no perfect universal speedwings or harnesses on the market.
Our work as a dedicated speedflying and speedriding shop is to find equipment which will best fit your style and skills. So don’t hesitate to ask questions or get a consultation about your future purchase!
