Speedflying emerged in the early 2000s.
Located halfway parachuting and paragliding, this activity can be part of the extreme sports.
The pilot uses a small area glider that can move at high speed along the slopes.
Coming from England (Stroud, Gloucestershire), he lives from 2 years in Chamonix (France).
It has been my only other real obsession that lasted years.
Climbing led me to Chamonix, and Chamonix made me question why I was climbing.
Flying down is much better."
His ambitions :
“I would like to develop a glider and harness.
I have some ideas to allow pilots to safely tune their glider (even in flight).”
His inspirations :
“First, my friend David Shp.
He is a master of speedflying, speedriding and is a paragliding instructor.
He also does acro… A very skilled and practiced pilot, and super nice guy.
Jamie Lee was always my biggest inspiration for style.
Watching his videos a thousand times probably did something for my flying.”
