A few nice runs in daylight this time on the newly found short and shallow site. We both crashed trying for a shallow line over the bushes and then through some trees. I could have just scraped it but I didn't fancy the certain carnage if i didn't make it over the dead tree branches in front. Its not impossible, should make it next time if i can loose less speed getting over that f*cking prickle bush. Other flier is Chris. I'm flying 2007/8 nano 13 Chris is on the 2009 nano 12.5. Chris creamed full bore into the prickle bush (gauze) unhurt ( just hundreds of spines to pull out). It took three of us fifteen minutes to get the canopy back.

  • not pretty at all, if you guys dont learn what you are doing you will end up seriously injured.

  • I agree, thx for pointing that out. My advice to anyone learning speedfly is to be V.careful, sensible & err on the side of caution -especially with regard to progressing slowly & choosing sites & conditions which are well within your skill level. Respect the very real danger or get hurt. Wear protective gear & take it easy. As you can see from some of my vids i have crossed that line a few times. Part of the reason I post bad launches & stupid decisions is so people can learn from my mistakes.
