Big Huarte

Another epic flight down Huarte canyon on the wheeler crest back on June 16 2024. Sarah, Landon, Nathan, Matt and myself partied up for some fun on the wheeler. We ended up with easy launching condition, buttery air, and the canyon was draining minimally. This was my 2nd time flying the line and the terrain seemed a bit different probably due to the shade but still flew great. I decided to ad s...
Stachin at Northside

Well since Sarah and I have moved to salt lake we have been flying fiends! Im far behind with uploading footy on here but I had to throw up this amazing soar session from last night (8/22). Golden lighting, cool temps but still pretty damn cross and a little bumpy.. Guess thats just the north side and thats why a mustache crushes it.

Fall of 2023 we payed homage to one of our favorite flying destinations to fly the red, surf the sandstone, dive off some cliffs, and scramble some canyons. This visit was by far our best one. Been meaning to upload this one. Sarah - wing: Niviuk Kode P 12m Ben - wing: Advance PI3 16m
Speed riding the Mendenhall
Переглядів 3846 місяців тому
On April 10th a vision of mine came to fruition. I thought my sierra speed riden days were over for the 23/24 snow season but sometimes things just work there way into ones life and you just go with it. This ride down the Mendenhall couloir was truly special, absolute splitter conditions, and the snow was a springy pow with a consistency that a sierra powder connoisseur dreams about on big East...
Carson peak speed ride
Переглядів 4817 місяців тому
My first time getting in the north bowl of Carson Peak and I couldn't have picked a better weather day. A calm North breeze flowing right up the bowl made for easy launching conditions and since this area gets a lot of shade it made for some good powder turns, not bottomless of course but still face shottable. This line is perfect for speed riding since the bowl terminates with a cliff section ...
Mega line down wheeler crest
Переглядів 1,8 тис.11 місяців тому
The Huarte canyon line had been on my mind for better part of the summer. This mega line resides on the southern flanks of the wheeler crest dropping into the dramatic canyon of pine creek, highly visible from the 395. Reaching the trailhead is relatively chill since one can shuttle up to rock creek lake at 9700ft and that shaves off 3200ft of vert to ascend by foot. Many speed flying pilots kn...
Speed flying Kearsarge
Переглядів 1,5 тис.11 місяців тому
Finally! getting a big epic flight in the southern sierra from a peak that has been in the back of our minds for too long. While flying speed wings in the southern realms can be tricky because of the expansive hot Owens valley and the towering granite spires along the el camino, It's tough to find available launches and score calm conditions. Since its officially autumn, the temps dropped and t...
Mt wood speedfly with the fury
Переглядів 533Рік тому
This was the second day in a row hiking the 5k vert up to the shoulder of Mt Wood. After the first lap the day prior I knew I had to bring the 10m fury for the terrain below the gradual shoulder. Theres at least 3-4 pretty sweet lines but the one I chose to dial in seems the most obvious and pretty damn slotted. the lower steep canyon section of the line Im still figuring the best way to get in...

Mini wing madness

3 laps off bazooka, solid crew of mini wingers, and prime time conditions for most the morning. I havent seshed a mini in a while and damn those things are dangerously fun and have a ton of pendulum. Guess I like barreling left ;) 14m griffen 11m r3x

Amazing as always, super flowy. Anytime I see a new upload in my subscription list I yell F*** YEAH DUDE cause I know it's gonna be good & original & genuine & I'm probably going to learn of a new flying spot. Not the clickbate BS that's taken over YT. Love your reaction at the end tapping your arm and spasming 😂 could definitely feel that in my bones. Congrats on the engagement! yall are my favorite flying couple hands down. Yeeeewww!
Thanks Mark! Your a true friend dude. Sarah I miss ya and hope to fly with you in the near future. I moved to northern Washington up above Leavenworth on the Canadian border. Looks amazing up here for flying, we will have to keep in touch I could be up here for the summer..
@@easternsierrahikeandflywe’ve got a good crew in WA if you’re down to fly together. Can share some beta if you’d like! Levenworth is sick.
@@GrifAdams hey man! Are you based out of Leavenworth? I’m moved to oroville. Let’s connect.
🤯
Hell yeah that was rad
Stoked to hear you're moving north dude! Tried to leave you my contact info on your comment you left but youtube is censoring my reply. The state of this platform is crazy. How can I get in touch? Would be awesome to do some flying man!
So much air time! Btw, I'm doing a research project on speedflying in california, and would love to ask you a few questions about your experience with the sport in the eastern sierra. Let me know if you're interested!
Yeah let me know. We can meet up for some coffee. Also Dan Mcconnel is a great reference too.
MAMMAMIA CHE LIBIDINE
Fucking rights bud!
Roll to reconnect on the top was rad! 🤌
thanks boss!
Gnar
Yea buddy!!!
Yeehaw
Incredible flight dude!
Thanks amigo
Love your flying style!
Thanks dude
Dude so insane! I was flying the fpv there last summer dreaming of the potential on a wing! Gouna have to chase you on some of those flights this summer!
ua-cam.com/video/7w75C9n48MY/v-deo.htmlsi=K0jZMFQNPJTv2fD9 here's my fpv flight on that mountain!
Thanks bud. Are you located on the eastside?
@@easternsierrahikeandfly I'm in sonora ca, so no east side until the pass oapens up
😮 pulling in those trimmers looked SPICY. Gnarly line and amazing flying!
I figured another pilot would notice that haha. Yeah I pulled in the trims and I wanted to stay in proxy since the landing was coming up quick so I over steered. It was not shocking for me at the time but it definitely doesn’t look smooth ha
Awesome!
Holy shit, you absolutely ripped that for your first time down! Such a sick line! I gotta come explore out there!
I have a weekend away from wife & kid in march 7th-11th i wanna drive up from socal. So i got a couple days to fly the best peaks what would you recommend.? & are they 8m able.? @ 140lbs.? Thanks love the vids.
Your going to need to speedride if your planning on doing anything in the Sierra in March. The white mtn range across the valley does have a few spots to fly speedwings.
Sick run ! 😮
That ain't Wheeler Crest
Far from it.
Can I know where you get pants strong enough to hold those massive 🌰's 😂. Stay safe.
Sick line! I don't have the nuts to get in that deep but it sure looks like a great place to fly with lots of fun ways to fly it!
