Leben Was Geht

Hi extreme christ childs!
This day Summit Surfer Patrick and me (Bernhard) we drove to Windischgarsten for Speed riding the Hoher Nock (1963m)
We had a nice ski mountaineering tour up to the top of the Hoher Nock. The southerly Foen was quite strong at the mountain top. the wind speed was about 60km/h. launching our speedglider with ski was too dangerous so we decided to drive down to the left channel. there we were able to start our swing spitfire 11m² speedglider. the flight was quite wobbleing because of the Fön. But we were happy that we didn’t need to ski down the rest because of the warm and wet snow.
Nevertheless it was a great day again!
I wish you Merry Christmas!
Cya Bernhard

Hi powder addicted People!
This day the Summitsurfer Patrik and me we drove to Johnsbach (Gesäuse) to the Köblwirt.
We had there -18°C temperature. So not a big problem for us because we got used to it.
We did a really great ski mountaineering tour to the schneekarturm. The sun was shining and so it gets warmer and warmer.
Our first goal was the festkogel, but building the track in the 30cm fresh powder was hard and there was a difficult part to get to the festkogel, so we stopped there. the mountain is waiting for us we thought.
we needed 4hours to the point of return. the wind was coming from the westerly side. so we decided to ski downwards, which was not really easy for me because that was one of my first ski downhill beside the normal ski piste.
but the faster you ride the better surf feeling you get.
what a great skiing day in the mountain!
thx for this wonderful day skiing in the winter wonderland 😉
have a nice week

Hi extreme “positive vibrated” Summit Surfer!
This day Patrick and me we drove to Spital/Pyhrn for doing a speedride session with our new speedglider spitfire 11m² from swing.
we hiked up in 4:30 hours to the mountain top with our skis!
first there was good powder conditions in the forest. but on the ridge there was good westerly wind which made the summit bloody cold. the temperature was about -15°C. so with the 30-50km/hrs wind we had more the -20°C windchill. brrr
the mountain was covered by clouds but after 10minutes when we arrived the summit it got cleared. thats only possible with positive vibrations!!
at 4pm we tried to launch or glider but it was not so easy because of the deep snow. but when you have the spitfire over you, the only thing you need is speed to get riding.
the speed riding from the grosser pyhrgas was really amazing but we took care not to ski while riding because of the different snow condition.
next time we can do some ski rides too 😉
the landing was difficult because i could only see a white area and no contours, therefore i did not really had a clean landing. but thats not important 😉
thx for this great winter day!
cya on the mountains for sure

Hi extreme downsized adrenaline speedflyers.
This day patrick and me we drove to windischgarsten for speedflying the the hoher nock (1963m).
We hiked up in 2:30 hours. On the mountain top there was a good southerly wind.
we unpacked our new speed glider – the spitfire 11m² from swing. our new baby 😉
We did some downsizing from the speed glider which was really essential because we also want to fly when there is strong southerly wind.
we were this year at lest 10 time in the mountains when there was too much wind for our gin yak speed glider.

the spitfire glider was really easy to start because of the strong wind.
then we needed only two steps and we flew downwards the first time with our new glider. what a great feeling the dive! Love is in the air…. 😉
we played it safe because of the maiden flight with the spitfire and of the first flight from the hoher nock!
what a big difference to our bigger sized glider the gin yak. pff
you can imagine our smiling face after this session.
thx for this great day!

Hi adrenaline addicted soulflyers!
This day we Patrick, Harry, Phillipp and me we drove to Altaussee for speed riding.

We were lucky to get up three times with our car to the loser alm restaurant.
Many people hiked up with their ski montaineering equipment to the loser, we drove with the car to the top. that must be a strange feeling when you want to do a ski mountaineering tour in “the nature” and suddenly a blue car is coming and passing with crazy speed riders. thx guys for jumping to the side 😉

we only had to hike up with our skis from the loser alm to the starting point because of south easterly wind.
what a wonderful launching place there. we found a nice line down to altaussee! watch the video…
thx for the nice day to all of you guys!

Hi extreme ski montaineering speedriders!
Patrik, Harry , Phillipp and me we opened the Winter season this day at our home mountains!
We hiked up from the bosruckhütte in Spital to the Grosser Pyhrgas.
First there was fog around the valley but after a while the fog gets cleared. muhaaa.
First Philipp did his first mountain paragliding flight with skies and our help 300m under the mountain top. Well down!!
Then we hiked up to the mountain top and we started our speedrider. i had to reject my first take off because of too much tailwind.
but with the second chance i had a really great flight!
thx for this wonderful day!
cya on the snow mountains

Hi winter walk and fly addicts!
Because of bad weather on sunday in carinthia we decided to go further north and saw the beautiful grimming near trautenfels.
so we hiked up until the fixed rope. at this point you will need the crampon. it began also to snowing so it was a good decision to fly downwards. we found a nice starting point in the deep and steep snow! harry sank until his hip sometimes because of so much snow there! great! but we had no skis so we had to run in the deep snow and start our speedflyer which was not a problem. the flight was short but we had a good feeling after yesterdays speedriding session with daniel at the mölltaler glacier.
thx for this great winter weekend!
austria is so beautiful, in the winter season too.
have a nice week

Hi extreme skiing Speedies.
This weekend, Harry and me we drove to the “Mölltaler Gletscher” for testing the Speedrider Spitfire 11m² and 9m² from Swing. Btw: Thx to Daniel Kofler!!
This day was my first day trying to skiing after 14 years of snowboarding only. you can imagine my unconfident way of skiing.
after two runs we got the speedglider spitfire 11m² from swing. muhaaa thats great action with southerly wind of about 40 km/h and -18°C. yesssa.
The launching technique is a special one like a cobra. Sometimes it worked well and sometimes i had some troubles with it. Practice makes perfekt.
we did really great rides down the glacier with a lot of speed. i love it!
the spitfire 11m² is a really universally usable speedglider with a high range – you can fly or dive! compliments to the developing department of swing!
we forgot to have lunchtime – you can imagine why that 😉
in the afternoon we got the spitfire 9m² from andi(swing speedflying team).
this is a really great rocket. it has a convenient handling and high speed action maneuvers are guaranteed.
Unfortunately the sun wents downwards and so we had to ski back at 4:30pm to get down with the last cable car.
at the evening we had a nice party at the Gasthaus Mühle.
thx a lot for this great speedring day!
cya on the winter mountains in austria

Hi virgin speedflyers and extreme mountaineers!
Yesterday, Martin, Harry and me we drove to the salzkammergut for doing pioneering work and tried a new speedflying possible mountain.
first we thought we can do the feuerkogel, but thats only for easterly wind and there was also some fog upon there. so we decided to drive ahead.
then we saw a nice mountain on the right hand side. the zimnitz aka leonsberg (1745m). we hiked up there for 2 hours and had a lot of fun starting our gliders at southerly wind speed of about 35km/h.
martin did his first flight with his speedflyer. Well down martin!
Harry had a nice start and i had a lot of fun with many deep and steep spirals ;))
thx for this gread mountain.
cya in the air

Hi foen addicted Speedflyer!
This day Patrick, Harry and me we drove to Spital and we hiked up in a really warm weather(föhn) to the grosser pyhrgas (2244m)
Patrick did the start at the west starting zone, but that was really tricky.
harry and me we looked for another starting zone because the southerly wind was getting stronger.
we found a nice cliff where we only had to run 1 step and we flew. crazy!
it was possible to do some soaring near the rocks because of the strong and really constand southerly wind – wonderful!
Then i had to spiral to get down – muhaaaa.
Thx for this nice day in the alps after 2 weeks of not flying…
Cya on the mountains
