Nice vid'... I dont think that it's Ground Launch per se... (i.e. not a Freeefall canopy).. It looks more like a Speedgliding paraglider (like a GIN Nano or Nervures Swoop).. I'm hoping to do a course in the new year.

This looks really cool, now, if I only had mountains here in OH

Or, you could go to europe a few times a year to visit your family. That would be a perfect time to try that out. Perfect.

That shit needs to be in the swooping forum.

The photographers canopy looked like a paraglider design but the one in front at the take off looked more like a parachute?
