“Addictions can be very, very bad but addiction itself is not bad.
It’s a case of what you’re addicted to.
You better live each day like it’s your last, ‘cos one day you’re going to be right”.
Ray Charles.
Link tip a friend
A couple of pics from Mal Haskins from the Black Peak area of NZ and 3 vids of his as well and they show how Mal has totally taken to this hybrid of skiing, paragliding and almost surfing and BASE jumping in some ways. Not really on the last 2 but one of the clips has the pilot basically sort of surf the road and then keep going over the edge, so it sort of is.
If you want to follow-up what Mal does in this sphere and many mountain based pursuits, visit Vertical Resources world here
- Launching.
- Saying to self:"That was so good, I'm going to skin back up and do it again ... right now".
Speed Riding Nepal - Kyajo Ri
This vid is of Mal speed riding in the Solo Khumbu region in Nepal. The launch is at 5100m and landing at 4300m and every afternoon the cloud would build and Mal couldn’t really see his landing from launch due to it, a great clip.
Speed soaring
Speedriding and soaring around Wanaka in NZ including the backbowls of Cardrona ski field, the foreshore of Lake Hawea and also the Treblecone/Pub Corner area.
And one more vid below of speedriding terrain flying at Treble Cone
(Couldn't resist, one more but not from Mal this time and from the Interlaken area in Switzerland).
