Speedriding is the future!

First flight ever, after one day of ground instruction the week before.

I can't wait until the North Americans catch up with the Euros and we have harmony at the resorts.

Apparently it's illegal in Canada's national parks...because you know... it's such a high impact on the environment... what a joke!

what do you mean one day of ground instruction? i thought you needed certain minimum canopy control certifications or be an accomplished skydiver/hang glider?

Maybe in Switzerland or something. Right now it's very cowboy esque. I've never been under a canopy or flown anything but a speedwing before. Paragliding experience is recommended and so is professional training! I went to go get training but it was to windy the last few days so I never got a flight! Just winging it for now. Taking er slow.
