Speedriding progressive camp info
This is not a proper speedriding camp where most of the time you stay on the snow learning to ski with a wing. We will work on some speedriding aspects but mostly this camp is about flying with skis and using their advantages. Easier launch and landing, possibility to use smaller faster wings, way wider range of weather and more launching and landing options.
Program of this camp
Here on first day you’ll learn how to find a good place and conditions for a ski launch. We will spend it practicing how to get ready for a flight. Also wing inflations and launches with all this ski equipment on us. “French” launch is our main technique. It takes time to get used to it after your summer speedflying experience. Check our Ski launching speedriding video tutorial on YouTube.
After this we will learn more about the weather in the mountains also how to plan your flight on a big line. With a lot of flying time you’ll learn more about your own wing and practice complex maneuvers. It is important because now you have heavy skis on your feet and it changes all your weight balance especially during aggressive maneuvers.
The theory also includes flying ethics, the rules of flying on a resort and big mountain weather patterns. Both of us will be with a group during this camp and we can divide into 2 parts for better efficiency
Main task
During this camp one of our main objective is to get as much air time as possible. So you can learn your wing in different weather and different conditions and get used to the changes which come with the heavy skis on you. We will do the follow-flights to see your mistakes and show them to you on the videos while also debriefing your POV videos.
We built the program of this camp taking into account the skills of every pilot and their tasks. It can be changed or adapted during the camp. For someone it will be optimized for improving the piloting skills and for someone it will be more about the big line research. But anyway first of all you need to have a good freeriding level.
After progressive camp
Also after a successful progressive speedriding camp we will talk about your next steps for the safe and efficient progression. One of the options is the next stage – Adventure camps. It can be with skis or footlaunching. Also you will be able to fly solo on similar locations keeping learning to speedfly with our online help.
