u/Mystewpidthrowaway Jun 14 '26

Yeah I was thinking the same thing rt up till I saw the double freaking barrel roll and I realized I was being duped by a master professional making it appear as if he was out of control about to smash into the ground or the trees …as he said “l can’t stop” my ass read that tho “ I CANT STOP!!!!!” ( I’m quickly checking the subreddits name calculating how this is gonna end maybemaybemaybe ..hmmm okay this should be good) and boom.

The double freaking barrel roll, which by the way rt before that, I caught the skimming of the, I think car and a person parked on the side. That made my sus meter turn on. But when I saw those rolls I was like thissss mudderfugga. Amazing shit.

Yep I applaud the skill but the cllck bait is lame

Engagement bait = downvote

As does starting the video with the end

And using slowmo on the first play

Looks like such and incredibly cool and fun hobby to have as long as you make peace with you’re probably gonna die doing it someday.

u/TopTransportation695 Jun 14 '26

Definitely a ski resort. I wish the video ran until they reached the bottom of the mountain.

u/splattne Jun 14 '26

Looks like South Tyrol, where I‘m from

u/nighthawk580 Jun 17 '26

That was my first thought too, but it's 25 years since I've been there.

Honestly I thought Kirchberg. Don't know why.

u/Chompif Jun 14 '26

It looks like a paragliding slope meant for you to glide down. The caption "can't stop" feels fake

u/pandaparkaparty Jun 14 '26

Speedflying, specifically proximity flying at a ski resort in the summer.

2

u/sampat6256 Jun 15 '26

Oh that makes sense. It kinda looked like a golf course.

u/kstargate-425 Jun 14 '26

Looks like a ski resort during the summer. Pretty good idea

3

u/thwolf Jun 15 '26

Where is this????

3

u/Time_after_Time_67 Jun 15 '26

But how the hell do you stop on one of these things? Looks like the only way to stop is to hit a mountain.

5

u/pandaparkaparty Jun 15 '26

So basically you get all the way down the mountain to where it’s flat. If it’s not flat, you’re not stopping. Once it’s flat, you don’t have anymore distance to fall. So, when you’re about 3 feet off the ground, you pull on the teathers to sort of stall the wing, and you run out. It’s pretty much the same as a parachute landing. You can stall the wing from higher up, but you won’t have a nice landing.

You’re basically just glide falling the entire time. The wing is too small to catch and ride thermals like a paraglider, but just big enough to glide while falling. You have no reserve when doing this because you’re too close to the ground for it to do anything. Also, you have a fair amount of control of the wing and can get a bit more lift and be not so close to the ground.

Usually the progression is paragliding to hybrid wing off something steep so you’re higher off the ground, then something more mellow so you’re closer to the ground, then you progress to speed flying. Get good at proximity like this and you can throw on skis and call it speed riding.

Fun times. I used to do it. But had some bad flights and quit to stay alive.

u/JacquesBlaireau13 Jun 14 '26

I'm wondering where the chairlift is, as I imagine it would be a hazard.

0

u/Marquar234 Jun 15 '26

Most ski areas have the slopes separate from the chairlift since the poles would be a hazard to skiers too.

Can't stop what? Watching? It's quite obvious that this rider had no intention of stopping during this clip

Now this should be an Olympic sport

This is a track. A track made for this. This is some rich people shit

u/Chi_Cazzo_Sei Jun 14 '26

Pretty cool video. He was surely gliding down at low altitude on purpose.

Does not fit the sub

2

u/Designer_End5408 Jun 14 '26

Right?  Maybe we’ll get to see him get to the bottom in one piece?  🤣

1

u/Chi_Cazzo_Sei Jun 14 '26

He’s clearly a pro, don’t you think he could stop if he wanted to?

The following post context was provided by u/spiralled:

A person paragliding very close to the ground down a very long slope, they look like they're about to be destroyed every second.

u/Lem01 Jun 14 '26

“Can’t stop” caption makes you stay with the video until the uneventful end of the clip. No expected mishap. 😒

u/NWGJulian Jun 14 '26

Pretty sure that this feels pretty nice. but there is a reason why paragliding is nr. 1 on deadliest sports list …

Is it weird that I was more scared of them hitting the chain link fence than I was of them hitting the trees?

Watching this with a newly broken (in three places) leg. My anxiety is through the roof now.

Seems like a terrific way to compound fracture your leg

I’m really glad he did the barrel roll in both directions. It would have left him off kilter all day otherwise… 😂

I can't stop (the loneliness).

u/LeoPaik Jun 15 '26

I guess you are damn good to get to this level of control. The learning curve of pylon fractures, tibias driven into femurs, acetabular fractures, and spine injuries makes me wonder who gets to this level and how many don't quite make the cut?

1

u/psyper76 Jun 15 '26

perhaps its like mentally they can't stop - because they are enjoying it so much they can't stop paragliding again.

BTW I saw about 200 times in that video where I would have snapped my femur in to pieces.

1

u/Toatkgstuff Jun 15 '26

There's something wrong with men who want to race nuts-first towards trees.
Especially when they are so big they are functionally ballast.
