Jake44 0 #7 March 5, 2010 The term groundlaunching works when your with a bunch of skydivers. But when your around the HG's and PG's they get confused because, well, we are all groundlaunching. Speedflying and speedriding separates that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake44 0 #11 March 6, 2010 Sorry. HG= hanglider PG= paraglider speedflying= footlaunching smallish wings(8 to 16 meters) speedriding= the same as speedflying but launching with skis. Speedwings are mostly made overseas, so they are measured in meters squared, not square feet. I fly a 14m which comes to about 149 sqft. The harnesses are different too, look more like a paragliding harness, with the risers attached at the hip, not the shoulders. So you actually are reclined in the harness, not hanging from it. Very comfy but takes a bit of time to get used to after hanging in a harness so long. The wings are slightly different from a skydiving wing. They have mylar stiffiners in the nose and a few down the ribs. The fabric seems different too as it is some kind of zp but seems lighter. They are a blast to fly and with the increase in jump tickets and gear I do see it becoming more popular (at least in the US) in the next few years. Hell, its free.
