That was OMFG stunning! Real poetry in the air....****, how do you practice that???? We have moved into some crazy times when it comes to extreme sports, our lack of imagination in our only limitation.....so sweet!

**** that looks like a buzz! any1 with experience in this able to shed some light on the potential for sh!t to go seriously wrong doing loops/spins/an stalls like that? obviously when they're clashing chutes/lines etc but what about on his own? canopy seemed to handle all that no probs

Pretty sure its all part of the backpack setup - in built chair/seat harness and parachute.

Got a mate that does it. Im seriously keen on doing the course next year. Looks like awesome fun.

That backpack would surely pack a parachute just in case things go pear shaped and you need to abort. Wouldnt want to have to use it though

Yep, been a paraglider pilot and this looping is a way to harder than spiraling.

Still have butterflies in my stomach...

Wow now that flying was impressive!!
We most certainly are pushing the boundaries, it seems we are now only restricted by our imaginations. I also wonder how these guys practice this?; as if you stuff up it's all bad.
