I'm thinking about getting in the skydiving because I fell in love with the canopy flight after the tandem. I'm not so sure jumping out of the plane is a fun thing to do yet though haha. I should actually try to become a paraglider

Ground launching is on my bucket list.

Truly inspiring! Thank you

Very nice! :D This is how i learned paragliding 15years ago :))

When you ground launch skydiving canopies, you take the slider off. Slider assists opening of a canopy when it comes out of the container . Also it restricts the canopy to spread out . Will fly better without, and it gets in the way. Looking at the condition, it is a little bit windy. Proximity flying at high speed is the dope. Ideally, under 7 nots, lay the canopy on the ground grab the front riser and run.

? You never know Andrea khunn and Dieter strasilla ??? 1984 .... I trie to start paragliding in Zwitzerland mountain with one raider parachute ! 1986 ! Salutation

Isn't this paragliding from the 1980"s?

Someone approached me at the plan praz launch in chamonix, asking about the landing site before launching after a prolonged run with a similar jump chute .i still have the ultimate climbing helmet which he neglected to strap on before he left

I have a raven 170 retired reserve parachute. I was wondering what's the cheapest and lightest harness i get to make it a hill slider like that ?

Way cool!

Try with stiletto 150, its perfect canopy for ground launching😁

Good to know. Thanks!

Это действительно круто, я для таких развлечений купил купол за 3000₽ это примерно 49$ на барахолке, не совсем безопасно но и гор у меня нет одни небольшие холмы высотой +- 50-100 метров (54-109 ярдов)

I’ve wondered if this was possible.

love it do you recommended this to use it in a small sand dunes? for fun?

Can you make a Series about that

Hi i got a paraglider from UP it is a 25 years old but in Perfect condition My question is would you like to trade fore a 7cell skydiving cannopy and risors

That looks like. A lot of fun

Excellent 👌

how many sqft of ram-air canopy for 300lbs total load do you think, and could you use this style canopy on a paramotor?

Awesome so interesting

Ok this is awesome

What a legend

Awesome!

Nice video

Nice idea !:D thx

How about a NEO String 3.0 ?

At 3:28 and a few seconds before, what is that in the air that looks stationairy?

I can promise you it flies better than a paraglider, being paragliders are bullshit death machines. it may sink but it's not going to collapse on you with absolutely no warning or reason lol. I remember doing that back in 2001 thinking how cool and fun it was.

You make it see easy

Niceeeeeee

Yawn,we were doing that back in the early 80s

Is the parachute wing modified in any way?

Spoiler ALERT... Some of us were doing THAT in the 60s... but thanks for posting. No music needed, now go get a speed wing and do it the right way LOL good stuff thanks for posting
