Thanks! I use a GoPro Hero 7 with a foam wind cover purchased off Amazon. It helps tremendously but I think I need to turn off the GoPro wind filter for best results.
This seems to be slower than other flyer videos. Is this due to a larger wing size. Just learning about speed flying so I don’t know my a** from a hole in canopy.
Yup... size DOES matter! It's a 16 sqm wing whereas the insanely fast clips are normally between 9 - 6.5 sqm. I'm moving down to a 13sqm now but I still have a lot to learn before even beginning to contemplate anything smaller...
With my paraglider, I carry all of that... but for the speedflying/miniwing, I only take a bit of food and water. With speedflying, you know where you are going to land and the flight is only a few minutes whereas with paragliding cross-country things are less predictable. I always carry my Garmin InReach though.
what a couple of chilled out flights! enjoyed max
Awesome :) Exciting but not _crazy!_ The perfect wing flown with great precision.
Thank you! Downsized to the Swing Mirage 2 RS 13 from the Level Flame 16 last year... adds further excitement... but still not crazy! (yet...!)
Looks like a dream
Great lines!!!
Y Garn is definitely my favourite spot so far!
Hey dude, really really lovely flow to this. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Been wondering about this line for a while!
Thanks! It is definitely a firm favourite!
LW FLAME 16 le top. Bravo belle vidéo.
Merci beaucoup!
Looks great. How long did it take to climb up each time?
I think it was between 45 - 60 minutes. Good exercise for fairly little airtime, I know... but the flying is incredible and definitely worth it!
If anyone by any chance knows who the photographer at 04:40 is, please PM me. Date was 19 Dec, time 13:39 on the Y Garn trail.
Wonderful lines ! What is your setup for that kind of wind noise reduction ?

That's a long flight. The least they could do is serve lunch halfway through.
Hello, очень круто! Мне бы так разок

🤩 wow ! Where’s that place ?
North Wales, UK
What's your wingload???
90kg on a 16 square metre wing so 5.6kg/sqm.
Wow, do you carry an medical kit and some food with you?
