Speedflying transition camp basic info

This beginner speedflying camp starts with gear review and some theoretical info about speedwings and harnesses. Then we have groundhandling sessions and start practicing launches. It’s very important to have good control of your wing while running and doing little flights close to the ground.

Big part of this camp is the choice of flying locations because after the course you are expected to be able to fly solo on similar hills. The main purpose of the camp is to deal with different types and techniques of launches and, ideally, master no-wind launches from slopes. With more experience we move to bigger and bigger flights, gaining more altitude and trying various conditions.

Within this transition camp you’ll also be able to practice accuracy approaches on moderately limited landings, preparing to fly in big mountains. As we are going to have some decent flying altitude (up 500 m, weather-permitting) you will also start practicing basic piloting skills. Also you will learn to choose flying lines and suitable weather.

Depending on the group we should also be able to touch bigger hike’n’flying missions closer to the end of the camp.

After a successful transition camp you can aim for the next stage of speedflying and speedriding camps – Progressive speedflying camp. It can be with skis or footlaunching. Also you will be able to fly solo on similar simple locations keeping learning to speedfly with our online help. In addition as a part of this camp offer, we welcome our “graduates” to come practice within our beginner speedflying camps on their own (donation based). Also after completing the beginner program you can buy your own gear in Prospeedflying shop. To learn more about our camps – visit youtube playlist Speedflying lessons
