i have a question / observation.....
ive only got 4 speedflys on a bobcat 16,5
from what it looks like in this video, being in constant half to 3/4 brakes seems like its making the wings very unstable. is it safe to assume they should just be letting their hands all the way up to keep the wing flying?
like i said i know nothing of this sport but ive got a skydiving background.

Please learn paragliding first.... I would hate to see a death video.... Speed gliding isn't something to just try to pick up and learn from scratch. **Base jumpers don't just pick up base jumping... they learn to skydive first!**

where was this filmed?
-
only in France and you need to have a very good skiing level because you need to no think about your skis
-
The whole point is that you go off cliffs and big jumps. This is just the learning part.
-
All I see is a lot of falling and needlessly and significantly more complicated than normal skiing! Unless you go off cliffs or big jumps, how is this better?
-
Should learn paragliding and skiing first if u wanna do this the safest as possible.

Is there any place on the USA or canada that i can learn speed riding
I have to say that those wings look very large or speed riders, is it a normal paraglider wing?

No, it´s about half the size of a paraglider.
