Speedflying in Wengen 2010

[BaaBahBlackSh33pz]

[RDJim]

Obviously there are no skiers where you go but do you take the ski lifts to the top? What sort of credentials do you need to fly from these ski lifts? What happens if you end up landing in some remote area? Do you carry a SPOT? Looks fantastic.

[TheArcticChiller]

@RDJim There are no real remote areas in Switzerland. ;) It's not like Canada where you could get lost. Know the mountains. ;)

[RDJim]

@TheArcticChiller Interesting point. I look at some of those canyons and thought that it would be a tough hike out with ski boots if you didn't plan your descent well. Even if you know where you are, sometimes you just can't get where you know you need to be - been there and even GPS doesn't help you over that ridge...Heck, I get upset if I ski the wrong trail and end up having to walk to the lift. LOL.

[manchester2ibiza]

This must be one of the best things a person could do in there life

[ggriga]

Thanks, enjoyed Your video. Hope i will have a chance to try this on my own.

[blackbloodstudios]

insane

[RightWingAviator]

anyone who hasn't seen a wingsuit basejumping video search for "need for speed art of flight" for another cool video

[frontloop71]

looks somewhat dangerous to me..

[lucaslovatto]

Nice

[hgcgatts]

How I know Satan isn't real: I've told 'him' dozens of times that I would gladly trade my soul to have this be my job. Unfortunately I'm still here doing engineering homework.

[1dragonleader]

wow aerobatic :O)

amazing vido but in pure live is it like ART :D

i like it to make at self...nice nice nice !!!

[MrStickyPete]

I wonder if you could do that on a snowboard

[IntoxicatedHumans]

Aren't you afraid of wind shear when going so close to the hillsides?

[blackwater43]

Hey man. I am a snowboarder. and i was wondering if you can do speed flying with a snowboard

thanks

[Jayspeedflyuk]

@blackwater43 it can be done but it doesn't look or feel rite, however you can do something similar with a kitesurfing wing and a snowboard, hope i've helped dude : )

[blackwater43]

@Jayspeedflyuk yeah thanks man

[versifft]

dick!!!



[Flake187]

these guysw have big balls. respect 8-)

[1lk4y]

wow so amazing.yok lan şaka işi gücü olmayan insan böyle şeylerle uğraşır amk boş beleş adamlar

[LeAxelDubois]

Whats the name of this song??

[lightningsmokerXx]

@LeAxelDubois Mirwais - Disco Science

[redbuttonstudio]

i have no experience what-so-ever in this, I don't know how to sky good and i am afraid of highs... But i still wanna (and will) do it!

[jamelinjones]

so do you need a speedflying specific container and canopy? the canopy kind of looks like paragliding canopy just not as big. right now i only skydive but id love to get into this as well as many other aspects of parachute sports

[HalvorAngvik]

@jamelinjones

Well, you can launch a small skydiving canopy, but its a huge difference between handling and performance. A skydiving canopy's main purpose is to let you break your speed from terminal velocity and land safely. The equipment we use for this is made for super fast and consistent inflations when groundlaunching. Also, you use different types of risers, mostly three of them, with good trim controls for various types of flights. The harness is different as well.

[EasywayHD]

This is so amazing. I don't even have words for it. It has a perfect balance between man, nature, sport and beauty. Think I found my a calling. So my question is how did you start off? As a skydiver? Please reply would mean much to me.

[HalvorAngvik]

@EasywayHD

drop me an e-mail and i'll point you in some directions

[vipergtsdrivr]

Why would ANYONE want to dislike THIS!?

[redbuttonstudio]

@vipergtsdrivr envy...

[StellarEmission]

Fu@$ me! That was badass. I almost puked from the stress of watching you guys. btw, how long had you been flying before you said to yourself, "I'll bet I can fly between that cliff face and that giant pointy rock".

[HalvorAngvik]

@StellarEmission

I had been into various canopy sports for years, so my progression was quite fast.

[ToryVic08]

0:57 Coolest Turn!!!!

[perifostiao]

really nice

[The321flyer]

hey guys -is this stuff dangerous???? wink wink

[Naryum]

You are seriously fucking sick ... AND THAT MAKES YOU A FUCKING HERO!!! Props to you man, you reached to make me discover my country from another point of view... ;)

[ronphlf]

Sick! Fucking epic !

[unforgetableman2]

i want to try this!

[xHDxclan]

did you land in like a designated area?

[HalvorAngvik]

@xHDxclan

self-designated :)

you always have to have a plan for where you can land before you launch. In Wengen we also spent a lot of time the last years to talk to the land owners and the people living close to our landings to make landingareas were we dont bother the locals.

[dropdeadalina]

2:40

WHAT

THE

FUCK

[JohnRhysMusician]

I am amazed by this video!

[TheDipreta]

Do you have to be an expert skier to be able to speedfly?

[HalvorAngvik]

@TheDipreta

Not so much for speedflying, but for speedriding you need to have a good feel and balance on the skiis. Its the same gear, and pretty much the same sport, only in speedriding you try to ride more on your skis with the canopy flying over your head, while in speedflying you mostly use your skis for takeoffs and landings, or even just footlaunching without skis in the summer.

[blakwan1]

Flippen Awesome!!!!

[sdold]

I'm not sure this is safe. Are you sure this is a good idea?

[nairrb]

Hats off to you guys. Them most direful airborne video I have ever seen. Making that steep turns and entering the valley precisely is breathtaking (in fact every moment on the video is such). Great flying!! Got the link by Mr Chip Hermes from FlightAware. Thanks to him too.

[c4usef1]

Honestly...are these in real time or sped up a bit? If they are real time your margin for error is nearly "0"...either way make sure your Life Insurance is paid up.

[HalvorAngvik]

@c4usef1

real time, it goes about 100km/h when you dig in some turns. Speed has got nothing to do with margins for error though, the consequences is higher in high speeds, but the margins dont have to be lower. The more speed you have, the more energy you have to move around quickly, and the less affected you are by winds and termics.

[c4usef1]

@HalvorAngvik,

I'm not a 'diver but a pilot...and that is a wing above you, so it is more flying than falling. Agreed that Speed=Energy=Inertia=Stability­. But more Speed = less time to fix errors, especially close in, thus a lower error margin. In some manoeuvres, like the one at 2:09, a Split-S/90 degree turn to "thread the needle"...ANY error could have NO time to correct. Seen the skydiver who tried to go under but HIT the bridge? If you die, ciao. But SURVIVING an impact would be REAL BAD!

[HalvorAngvik]

@c4usef1

I agree that more speed is less reaction time, and less time to make the right desicion, but if you dont have enough speed, and dont have an engine, like you do, you can fly yourself into situations you cant get out of with all the time in the world, or stall out, and collapse the wing. The 270 into the crack actually have plenty of outs, i can overturn to pass on the outside untill the last second.

[sz4q8l]

Worthy of a James Bond opening chase scene!

[HalvorAngvik]

@sz4q8l

let them know and i'll be happy to take the job :)

[bnejaforever]

:O wuau

[HalvorAngvik]

@uluuluululu

skydiving -> base -> speedflying, and i've been skiing since i was very young :)

[pro100linijnychlopak]

Shit thatz HARD.

[sooos33]

HOW DO THEY RETURN ?

[lilgretzkypro187]

Bucket-list... #1-Speedflying

[wadeLFC1]

Belter vid

[dunkintheshed]

Amazing flying, some of the turns into the tight spots were great. Great skill

[CBMaster2]

dude this sh1t is ez i do that on my horse all the fcking time

[RampantRedBull]

I MUST DO THIS.

[toutagamon]

2:38 O_o

Hello? God's hotline? I'd like to report an error in our realm's physics engine please!

[ramboriot21]

this is goin on the bucket list

[BlahBlahRainbowFish]

Awesome. Please tell me you were there in December 2010 though >.< I was snowboarding there in Wengen then, over Christmas and I saw two guys with parachutes "fall" out of the sky and panicked because they were dropping faster than what I've usually seen but no-one believed me until they came back up and were just going around like you were. It would be totally epic if it was you though xD Peace out :) x

[Arcaxxs]

@BlahBlahRainbowFish video posted feb 2010 I doubt it was shot dec 2010 ^^

[BlahBlahRainbowFish]

@Arcaxxs Yah I realised >.< but they've got another video from the same place the start of this year so was still hoping they'd just not filmed it :P

[HalvorAngvik]

@BlahBlahRainbowFish

yeah, i was there in december 2010 as well, föhhhn winds and shit conditions if i remember correct :)

[BlahBlahRainbowFish]

@HalvorAngvik Ha yes >.< I stayed lower down but got some nasty weather on the last day -my sister and I got lost and had to walk down to Grund[?] then catch the last train around the mountain and back to Wengen :) it was fun though, even if you couldn't see much sometimes. That's pretty awesome that it was possibly you though because I remember no-one believed me xD

[HalvorAngvik]

@BlahBlahRainbowFish

its a small world :)

[raulomshankar]

Realy if i had money i would love to learn this. I did it with an instructor once. not the ski thing only the paragliding, damn !!! its so expensive even to learn here in india. i cant evn think of buyin the whole gear

[UnshavenStatue]

If I had money, I would totally fly to Switzerland and join you. I got an adrenaline rush just from watching this. Totally worth life and limb -- okay, maybe not life, but still totally worth limb for the epic awesomeness of it.

[T1meW4st3d]

GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!! JUST GET RIGHT THE FUCK OUT!!!

Why don't I get to do shit like this?

[yubbers123]

@T1meW4st3d Best. Comment. Ever. 

[yubbers123]

@T1meW4st3d And Amen mother fucker. A-men

[BillieGoatBlazed]

i used to do this, then i took an arrow to the knee.

[WHlTEDEVlL]

what you don't see? his frozen snot

[kelmer44]

Disco Science FTW

[hahayaknow]

fuck



[stuntard]

trying to steer with my head..

[GJSpot]

I would love to do this but not that crazy stunt at 1:00 to fucking dangerous.

[fuunguus]

Stupid fucking adrenaline junkies. Pathetic. You gonna die young you know that? What you are doing is 50 times more dangerous than the most dangerous drug. You could rather go pop an ecstasy and be in nirvana a few hours, less risk and 1000000 times better than a stupid adrenaline rush

[mropposum4]

@fuunguus Interesting statistics. Could you quote your sources?

[fuunguus]

@mropposum4 Statistics are made up I know, but even riding a horse puts you in more risk than any of the popular illegal drugs, that is a fact. These fuckers are all in it for the rush, there is a number off drugs that make them feel the exact same rush while sitting in their fucking couch.

[HalvorAngvik]

@fuunguus

Give it some years of spending as much time high on experience worthy drugs, as i spend in the mountains and I think you will find that my lifestyle gives you a slightly higher life quality over time. Its not just about the kick, its about the experience of challenging your limits in the majestic and unforgiving mountain scenery, setting new goals, reaching them and the travel you go through reaching them. Memories, goals, ambitions, something drugs can only take from you.

[ahenz90]

@fuunguus So what if it's dangerous? He's living his life how he wants to.

Take some advice from Theodore Roosevelt - "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena . . . if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

[T1meW4st3d]

@fuunguus Coward...

We are ALL going to die, just a matter of time.

It is how that time is spent that counts.

[omerioromer]

@fuunguus lol you died already you know?

[jewls333]

I can't help but wonder what passers-by are thinking when they find ski trails that start in the middle of the field.

[cryosphere000]

54 people are butthurt

[karachinights]

wow. i admire tgmhe courage! awesome

[GoJayhawks104]

so. many. ways. to. go. wrong.

im paranoid.

[agenttaco91]

1:34 "THOSE GODDAMN KIDS AGAIN."

[Keddej08]

I used to be a speedflyer but... I forgot the rest of the joke, but your Mom is a whore.

[sd4dfg2]

@Keddej08

.... but then I took an arrow in the knee.

[fartonmeharder]

@Keddej08 but....you took an arrow to the knee?

[Dr1ZL3]

I used to speedfly.. but then I took an arrow to the knee.

[alexandergosselin]

Too fucking amazing.

[pivotdeatheater]

thought he was gonna die at 00:57

[orcstompa]

i used to go speed flying till i took a...

[zoso525]

This needs to be a video game.

[naturegirlfromny]

I would hit a tree!

[johnbozi]

how long did it take to get to the top?

[Xerriva]

Tyrone you silly fat bastard.

[1337SC2haxorz]

Damn, i want to try this so badly but i bet i would shit myself the 1st time i tried it. Or end up with a broken neck. Or both.

[pandastratton]

......... fapfapfap..........

[billigerfusel]

sweet baby jesus, this looks to dangerous and fun at the same time.

[dongstaxx]

how do you even train for this

[jimmatt2311]

why is it called "speedflying"?

[MrZazzles94]

I have the sudden urge to move somewhere mountainous and buy a paraglider...

[Clemenzaa]

Absolutely amazing, guys

[ProZackBoy]

Something something Skyrim, something something throat of the world.

[MrSharkpunch]

@ProZackBoy Looks more like Just Cause 2 imho

[moochabod]

2:08 now that's just crazy talk.

[gworling]

this makes me want to go watch Snatch.

[DontFearGrim]

@gworling THANK YOU. I was trying to remember what movie this is from and I couldn't. It's the badass slow-motion part too. <3

[JaRonT0L0g1st]

Do a Barrel Roll

[TheAshOfOurFriends]

most dangerous thing I've ever seen hands down

[TeamOverkillLeader]

now do it off the throat of the world



[MegaIceknight]

@TeamOverkillLeader Need to be fus ro dah'd off

[apollomix]

@TeamOverkillLeader with Parthunaax on your ass

[c1jersey]

wadsworth constant applies

[TheKiwiLord]

@c1jersey

No it doesn't, what the fuck.

[Souprx]

@c1jersey fuck. you.

[QuantumHopBeats]

This is the song from snatch. Awesome.

[keikuru1]

skyrim

[HolgatoJ]

Jesus fucking christ!!!! i wish i had opputunities to do sports like this! so bloody awesome! :D

DAMN take me on a trip!

[ingraman]

cool video, but why the music? Would've been cooler to hear the sounds

[WHFdrummer]

As I watch, I keep thinking, "X-wing footage."

[Komxo]

What a cheater, you are supposed to ski down the hills, not over them.

[masterzeek]

fucking hell

[ch1ral]

All right! I'll tell you who blagged your bookies!

[thenfm]

cure hipster faggotry: MANHOOD101. COM

[eumyin]

WOW THE NEW TRIBES LOOKS SUPER REAL.

[DJMutagen]

I've watched this video about 900 times... I will continue to watch it another 900 more...

[kanojo1969]

I think it must be the worst torture for your spirit to do this for a hobby, or sport, but to also have a 9-5 office job in a cubicle farm during the week. How can someone come down from this kind of excitement to regular working life? It sounds like hell.

[cjviper]

@kanojo1969 People like this don't work typical 9 to 5's. 

[HobieAkama]

@kanojo1969 you seem to think anyone in switzerland is working a 9-5 job. everyone there is so rich that they do this as their job.

[ethicks00]

@kanojo1969 /

The people who do this are sponsored pros who ski for a living.

[HalvorAngvik]

@kanojo1969

thats the bitter side, but then again the contrast of the cubicle jail makes getting up in the mountains 10 times better once you're there

[daveytay]

Every time I watch this I end up tilting my head round the corners.

[WayneCocaine]

I watch this video more than porn

[spp41]

Wonder how many points he got for that combo.

[ronpaulkid]

REDDDDDIT



[leetruff]

this should be a videogame!

[acolyterush]

Now we just need to invent weapons that fire discs of blue plasma, add some flags, and we're fucking sorted.

[ptrimblegocfsnet]

sm;dl (shitty music; didn't listen)

[Thegrandhighoracle]

@ptrimblegocfsnet Isn't the use of acronyms fucking pointless if you need to explain it afterwards?

[Tspil93]

@ptrimblegocfsnet It is the song from Snatch! Get to the 1:50 mark

[MaroonedQc]

I used to fly-skii like you, then I took... Okay, that's just getting annoying.
