Now its time for some speed writing a sport that combines elements of kite surfing paragliding and skiing i know it sounds quite difficult and dangerous but all im asking you to do is watch it because it looks quite stunning we caught up with. A champion snowboarder who spent over ten years developing this adrenaline pumping activity.

To get speed or obviously speed riding is dangerous you have a quick wing that small so you can build up lots of speed but its handling is sensitive if you manage it properly theres no problem but you really need to know yourself and your own limitations you need to know the weather the conditions the mountain it then its fire and content is absolute ok sounds simple enough but its far from being a sport for the masses experts gauge there are only about six hundred speed riders worldwide. To be driving at speed riding has really developed in the last ten years there was a little boom and lots of people got excited and joined but then noticed if you dont keep it up regularly it gets dangerous and so they lost interest today you have a core group of people who speed ride like me and do it really frequently writing so with that i make it feel for.
