Calvin19 0 #1 January 30, 2006 So... I just got my new glider in the mail, started paragliding again because i liked swooping... i havent paraglided in a few years but the swooping is a lot better than i can get from skydiving canopies... this film is pretty sick, the best swoops are in the first 3 minutes. i hope the clicky works... if not copy it. seriously cool. The crew is mainly the GIN aerobatics team ?(cool guys), but there are a bunch more. Paragliders in general are much better at flying, in ANY form. (speed/glide/sinkrate) (not freefall opening) The medium skydiving has in general is flawed for swooping, The risers are constrained, the canopy has to survive opening, the harness positions the pilot for a lot of drag, the lines are thick/ and must follow a slider pattern, anyway, the film is sick. http://www.flyacro.com/site/quicktime/movies/nside_Small.mov Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
