Ski flying video

Well folks, my wife bought me a go pro because she is always catching me watching the great videos you guys make and can’t understand why I don’t just watch porn like normal men? Anyway. Here is my very first attempt and it just happens to be on skis! Hope you enjoy it.

Re: Ski flying video

Excellent! I've been denying any interest in flying skis, but admit that I'd like to try it.

Lots of snowmobile tracks on the lakes you fly of of!

I'm watching for an affordable set of skis in the off season, but really like the Airglas 4000. For the ask of 20K, it's hard to justify buying anything used.

Re: Ski flying video

What is that mount you used for the gear inspection mirror?
I need something like that for my AWB2500s - I can't see what position they're in through the window.

I took a pair of motorcycle mirrors and mounted them to rubber lined gear (hose) clamps. they are kinda goofy looking but really handy.
