Gin started the sport of Speed Skiing and I hope they start it here in the states. I would love to get behind a novice 13 meter and hit the bowls at Beaver Creek and Vail.

I'm guessing that those are there staff competition piolits, I can't see the wing but the advanced fliers use 8 and 9 meter wings that means totally hauling Ass where the novice wings are 12 and 13 meter.

Yea, I would much like to try it out on a powder bowl instead of the exposed rocks. Let me refraise that even with a beginer wing I would not attempt it with that much exposed rock. But I do want to try it.

Seems absolutely incredible. What makes it so extreme is that you are half-flying, at ground level. I would say that it seems like the most dangerous sport I have seen. You're probably guaranteed to eventually hit a rock and end up killed or disfigured.

these guys are :crazy: , what a waste of a chute :(

I don't think I have brass ones big enough for that, other than the kite skiing
