Hi all,
Anyone knows a speedrider in the age of 12-19? May be someone who's just tried it a couple of times.
It's for an interview this week in an article about youngsters and alternative wintersports.
All help welcome,
Jasper

Hi,
maybe I am the one for you!
19 years old, flying for 2 years (no paragliding or skydiving before).

Hey Jasper,
This might be your only chance. I've not met anyone speed flying that young and have only known a few paragliders under 19. It's more common for people to have some background in paragliding or skydiving before starting. Generally, most countries don't let under 19's do any skydiving.
Good luck,
Scott
Hey,
I'm 19 and speed gliding too! But I reckon Martin is a better bet for you...
Only been doing it for under a year and mostly foot launched speed flying, did my first couple of speed rides on skis a couple of weeks back! Came to it from a vaguely skydiving background (5 static line jumps).
Plus I turn 20 in a couple of days so very soon I won't qualify
