Speed Flying

Yesterday I went to Magnetic’s Geneva Premiere and I really enjoyed some segments of the film and found that others were less interesting. Keep in mind though, that this film is two hours long and that this increase and decrease in interest is normal. What made this screening special is that many of the people that we saw in the film were present at the event. Before the film started they were presented to us individually, said a few words and then one person won some skis and another won for tickets to a ski resort.

Speed Riding Mont Blanc from Didier Lafond on Vimeo. Speed flying is a combination of parapente and skiing. You take off from the top with the parapente and ski part of the way and fly for the rest of the way. This is an extreme sport but it provides some great images. This is a sport I edited footage from a number of times and it captures the imagination.
