It's simple: the wing goes 100 km/h. Most of the time you wanna fly with a crosswind. 100 - crosswind speed= the speed you are probably flying (but it depends also on you braking, type of the wing, trims etc.)
I am just having my early morning coffee, outside it is raining - what else to say? Your video lightens up my start in the day. I am 60 yrs right now and had paragliding lessons a few years ago (didn ´t continue because I live close to the sea and practice a lot of kitesurfing - mountains far away). In my next life I will definitely try this. Fly safe and enjoy it. Thanks for the video.
Hey! Happy to hear you enjoy the videos 😍🙌 will make more for sure! Kitesurfing is epic! That’s how I started back in the days 😍🙌 Have fun, stay safe and see you around 🙌🙌🙌🦅
Great video again Aljaz! Love the steering work with the rears. Reminds me of the better control of my high performance skydiving canopy during swooping. speedflying is on my plan. but I gradually get used to higher speeds and more sensitive steering techniques.
Thanks buddy!! 😍🙏 yeah going into speedflying should be slow and controlled process/progression .. no rushing 🤟🙏 I’ll do more videos about speedflying here too 🤟🙌
this when you watching feels simillar to a wingsuit, is this because it is a smaller wing than normal paragliding? can you actually go into the ground? or you can lift it up if you decide you need to go up with that speed?
Yeah these wings are smaller then paragliding wings.. with that you gain way more speed because of higher wing loading 🔥 You can control up and down with flaring (adding brake inputs) however you have to maintain speed all the time.. if you kill all the speed, wing can collapse and crash. More speed you have more flare/lid you can squeeze out. Might do detailed video about speedflying :))
Duuude, what a sick video!! I already love going low with my paraglider, but this might be just the alternative for non-thermal weather... you might've just changed my plans for the holidays
Happy that you like it Andy!! Yeah thats the best for calm conditions 😍🤙🤙 Haha lets gooo!! :D But know your limits and get into this thing easily..if you know someone around that do this get into contact with them 🤙🚀🙏
Yeah most of the time on C on speedwings! 🤙 As its much more efficient for what I am up to... better control at such a high speeds, more feedback from whole edge, pitch more controlled....will do video on that topic! 🤙😍 More adventures soon! Thanks for being around🙏🙌
Thanks for another epic video! I haven't been able to fly in two weeks due to extreme heat and now smoke and ash in the air from dozens of wildfires here in California :(
Such a sick edit😍 Im finally back home and will be able to fly again as soon as the wether is good🤩 And i'm really hesitant to buy the Insta 360 one R 🤭
Happy that you like it buddy!! 😍🤙 Great to heart that, seeems like you're totally ready to senddd itt!! 🚀🤙 Fingers crossed for good weather tho 💪 Insta 360 is very cool little beast :))
@@AddictionHappiness yeah it looks like that camera is really simple to use and edit etc. I'm not planing to do huge stuff or so but maybe a little edit from time to time can be fun to do😁. And yes it has been 2 weeks since I last was able to fly. I'm defo ready to send it😂
Always wondered why people pull the C lines instead of the normal steering lines. Does using the C lines make it more responsive? And do you pull them down or towards you? I read a guy read somewhere that it's best you hold the C lines high and do small movements rather than holding them low and pulling them too much?
Hey! For me personally I feel much more control over C at such a high speeds and fits my flying style and needs the best. Overall its more efficient for pitch and in general turn control...I'm gonna probably make video about it 🤙🤙
Happy that you like it!! 😍🤙 You should definitely check out at your local paragliding school and see how you like it 😍 For me this is THE BEST thing I could ever imagine doing 😍🤙🚀
@@AddictionHappiness , yes I have been searching for a good local school for learning but can't go out yet due to lockdown restrictions in India....maybe soon though Just out of curiosity....do you teach in person too?
Beautiful video man! I have a question for you: Since you have both gliders, how would you compare the RS+ and the Fluid 2? Which one has better dive, better glide and which one is easier to take off?
Thanks David! Happy to seee you here 😍🤙 I will put it that way: Both are easy on take off - I personally trust both wings the same. There might be slightly better glide on Mirage..but out there in real world those differences are really really faded... However I would say Fluid gives way more RAW POWER feeling compared to Mirage. So on Fluid you get more agressive (but still 110% controllable) steering/feeling.. compared to Mirage that feels little smoothened out 🤙🤙 Hope that makes any sense haha!! Let me know if there anything else more specific you would like to know 🙏
I have flown both gliders. The fluid is waaay more aggressive on the roll, pitch and yaw axis. The mirage rs fly alot steeper with open trimmers and are more suitable for speedriding than the fluid2. Imo the fluid is a bit faster and glides a tiny bit better. Both really excellent speedwings. It depends on your preference. The fluid is a fiesty one and I absolutely love it.
Thanks Christoffer!! No I sold my fluid back in the days as I had soo many wings... to be honest I am missing it every now and then haha :)) Pure raw speeding for sure!! 😍🤙🚀 You flying one?
Hmm, you stear with C-risers. As a beginner I think this is a better disrtibuted input and doesn't slow your glider down as if you pull only the last row down with your brakes. I see - speed is everything :D
Yeah most of the time on C on speedwings! 🤙 As its much more efficient for what I am up to... better control at such a high speeds, more feedback from whole edge, pitch more controlled....should do video about this?! :))
I really don't know what to do... I have a brand new 13m² Nightshade RS+ right here (but at 100kg it's basically an 11m²)! (My RS had a check coming up and selling it to Spain and getting the new one was the same price as the service) But I'm a bit apprehensive, I really don't get to do speedflying that often, only from time to time in winter, really... Which is essentially the most dangerous/stupid way to Speedfly... So basically I have to decide if I bite the bullet and sell the wing, or dedicate at least a little more of my time to speedflying... I'd be lying if I said the factory folded wing wasn't calling out to me a bit... :-D
Hahah hard decisions! :D Maybe you should just buy a bit bigger speedwing so you can really have it for every once in a while and still have enough margin 🤙 otherwise do it moree!!! If you love it, just do it more!!! 😍☀️
@@AddictionHappiness Good idea, that gave me one in turn! If I loose a bit of my "Corona Bump", that would be almost the same as buying a 15m2! Also, on the xc wing I'm considering, I'm right between the sizes, so it would help that as well... - healthy - cheapest option - can keep lovely wing! - takes commitment, but what doesn't that's worth doing... - the speed is already borderline fine... 58, 59 kph trim Thx for that!
Hey Jochen 👋 Little tip - you cam decrease speee of video on YT here - for example slow ot fown by 50% so you can at least enjoy landscapes 😏😍🙏 More films and paragliding ventures coming soon!! Hope you stay until then 🙌🙌 wish you awesooomee weekend buddy 🤙
@@AddictionHappiness I know about the speed setting on YT. But low, close to ground / proximity flying still scares the crap out of me. Slow motion doesn't change this. My next appointment at a paragliding flight school is in two weeks. So don't worry. You did not scare me away. :-)
What do you think is the average speedflying speed?! 😏🚀 Subscribe for more adventures VERY SOON! 😍🤙
70-80km/h ?
Yeah I would also tend to say around 80? But wouldn't be surprized if it was higher
On Aljaz channel is movie "How fast is speedflying". Usually is as fast as You say, buy sometimes a lot faster ; )
Anywhere inbetween 40 and 100 kmt. Avg. 🚀 Depends on wingload and flying style. That's the beauty of speed flying! 😍 Great video 💪

Absolutely *INSANE* . Wow
Lets goooo! Something fresh tomorrow!! 😍🤙🙏
Paragliding harness will arrive next week, can't wait to join you in the skies!

also, do you have a spare parachute in case of some problems?
and where is this place? looks amazing!
Yeah you can have reserve parachute 🔥 This is mostly in Slovenia 🦅
nice video :) good job !!
Thanks!! 😍 Happy that you like it!! More soon 🙏🙏
So sickkk🤘🤘
Thanks!! 🔥
Thank god u put in the warning at the beginning... I almost tried some of that stuff in my livingroom😁
Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣👌🔥🦅
Had to stop half way through, as the envy meter was topping out. Enjoy all you can, while you can.

Wohooo!! Lets goo! 😍🤙🤙🙏
awesome! 3:00 min Jeeeeesuss! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤗
Thats probably the sketchiest take off ever! I am thinking to smash this one again... 😍🤙 So special!! 🚀
Sketchiest take off I've ever seen hahaha, what a legend

Yeah buddy!! Have an awesome sunday buddy!! 🤙🤟🙏 Thank you for being around here 👌🙌
Dude.. perfect
Yeehaa!! What do you prefer paragliding or speedflying?! 😍🤙🚀 More adventures very soon!
The launch at 3:00 is freaking serious!
Yehaaa soo sketchy but soo epic!! 🙏🤙
Why do you use c-lines instead of break-lines for control? Keep up the great content! 🤙

Super extra mega.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yehaa buddy!!
OMG! The launch at 3:00...you're crazy🔥please don't die, you still have to edit all the community footage😉💪🏼
Haha that was one of the sketchiest for suree 🤩🚀😆😱
Are you using a flying folowcam or is it just a 360 cam on a stick? Im looking for a nice follow cam set-up for skydiving.
Hey really depends.. I use both..followcam from skybean and 360 on a stick :)) I think for skydiving selfie stick with 360 is way more suitable
Amazing pilot, with amazing skills, doing crazy stuff! 🤙 F*cky yeah!
Lets gooo 🚀🤩 More crayz projects coming very soon! Stay tunned 🤙🚀🙌🙏
This is AWESOME LOVE IT! But what the danger level? And is it possible to do it safe?🤔
Thanks buddy!! Sure its all up to you! We as humans, pilots are the biggest danger.. I will do video on that topic!! Stay tuned 😍😍🤩🙌
Class
🤙🤙🤙 Something new coming up today!! Stay tunned 🙏🚀
Amazing, makes me want to try too! Do you usually hike up the mountain to the takeoff?
Yehaaa 🚀🚀 yes 99% I hike upe.. usually there is no other way haha 🤟🔥🚀
Yeah! A new speedflying video!
What wings are you flying?
Yehaa!! Time for some speed ventures right?! :)) Swing Mirage RS+ 8, 11, Gin Fluid 2 9, Littlecloud EZ 9, 12, BabyGoose
what is the Glideration rougly on that typ of wing
Hey hey you can max it out to around 5 🔥🚀 or anything below haha
Among paraglider pilots who are already pretty risky people, speed flyers are just another level. Like BASE jumpers to skydivers i guess.
Yeah its special type of flying for sure 🤙🤙🚀🙏
Wow wow wow you are crazy men
Yehaawww 🚀🤙🚀
How do I get into Speedflying? I am considering a Speedriding (because of winter) course in France in December.
Hey! If you have course option thats the best option for you! :)) IN winter its soo fun 😍🤙
@@AddictionHappiness Learning in France since I have no paragliding experience and no license is needed.

Can you use a Skybean follow cam with speed wings, or is it too dangerous?
Yes you can! 😍🙏 you can see it in action in my video - dont stop me now speedflying 🔥🤙
@@AddictionHappiness awesome, I will check it out!
