Rock Flying (video)

Recommended Posts

Try a search for 'Ground Launching', 'Speed Flying' or 'Speed Skiing' and you'll turn up a fair number of results.

Looks like we've got yet another term for it! :D:D

What canopy were you using? Nice launch point though.

:)

Interesting launching the ITW. I've jumped there, but don't recall favorable conditions for a cliff launch. Did you go in the afternoon when the winds tend to pick up more?

I've launched a skydiving canopy from a number of cliffs. I prefer a steady, strongish wind (10mph+) where I can kite in half brakes first to check the wind for consistency or "waves". Then I switch to rear risers and run off. How did you launch here? It was hard to tell in the video.
