A little mountain flying

Scrotum-tightening footage here. No cockpit. No power. Poor glide ratio. 100% Deadstick takeoffs.

Re: A little mountain flying

OK I deserved that. Glass house chipped.

For the record it is called paragliding (not parachuting), and this particular variety is called speed flying. :)

Surely in the USA this would be illegal? The Kings air and stuff.

Good day
