Whoooppppee: Going SpeedRiding

[shropshire 0]

I'm just in the process of booking a 4 day break (?) in Verbier to learn how to SpeedRide... It's going to be fun, fun,fun.
I travel out early wednesday and back late sunday.

Cheers Wifie

I've just returned from 4 days in Verbier. I couldn't fly for the 1st 2 days due to a strong Foehn but yesterday I managed to start my course and did 7 flights on a Gin Nano (14) - which I'm now the proud owener of!!! (brings my canopy count up to 8!!!!!).

The sense of speed, close to the slopes is amazing and the feed-back that the Nano gives is really good too (way better than my Saber!!)

Heading to grab a few hours of sleep. I'll email when I get set up at the hotel and have some time.
