Do you fly this site with a reserve?

thanks

[malrock1]

No - no point really - most of the time I am flying this site so close the gnd that there is little point to having a reserve. Apart from catastrophic failure of the wing it will basically not collapse on you since the loading is so high.

really awesome great work i hope involve in speed riding as soon as posible can you tell me what type of wing it is better for starting ?

[malrock1]

This is an ozone bullet - it's not a bad starting wing although I would highly reccomend that you have either spent time being a paraglider, have been a skydiver or do an intro paragliding course before you throw yourself off something

intense launch bro, did you get pretty close to tripping?

[malrock1]

not really. There was a slight thermal coming up the hill which gave a head wind and I ran out of it into a bit of sink - so I had to run a bit faster and longer than usual for this site. essentially I had a bit of tail wind :)

Nice vids!! How much you wing load your speed rider? Im 90 kgs, if i get into speed flying a 14m wing would be appropriated for a beginner or to try the xt16?

nice :)

Looks like falling with some control, rather than flying.

[psibuba]
