Hey everyone we’re a small production company that specializes in action sports such as skiing, cliff jumping, downhill mountain biking and more. We’d really appreciate it if you check us out, thanks
+Matthias Giraud Equipment question if you don’t mind. At 1:22 it looks like your rig is left hand deploy. Am I seeing correctly or is this a mirror image shot? I’m asking because I’m about 95% ready to switch to left deploy on my skydiving gear to preserve my right shoulder and as I get ready for BASE I’m hoping it’s a doable thing as well. I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t be, but regardless I am curious.
Well if everything turned out as planned iam not very impressed. Iam not saying i could do that. It was just parachuting while holding a rope. Sorry but this vid was meh, and 2 years of planning? Even more meh
+Dr Janitor No grip was lost. We used a dynamic rope to reduce the tension and therefore you can hold on the whole time. Thanks for watching! Good times!
Iam pretty sure he losed his grip, i can imagine u gotta get the right ‘swing’ and good tension in the rope to be able to hold on such a fall. I dont wanna say he failed, but iam sure this stunt can be executed way better.
Наверное хотели сделать что то вроде качелей, но когда парашютист дернул своим весом второго парапланериста, тот испугался и парашютист отпустил веревку.
Тоже про это подумал)) Возможно они хотели имитировать что то типа тарзанки) в названии же написано rope swing. Но нахрена – непонятно)) Мне больше всего было интересно, что произойдет со вторым парапланом (к которому была привязана веревка), в нижней точке, как сильно его дернет. А дернуло его слабо, наверное потому что тот быстро отпустился от тарзанки. По сути его дернуло с такой силой, с которой падающий смог удержаться руками) А удержаться он не мог, потому что он по сути упал на тарзанку своими руками)
Про вес – им надо было еще тарзанку прицепить к веревке через пружину с динамометром, тогда бы мы знали!))
Вообще непонятно зачем нужна была такая сложная система из двух парапланов. Можно было просто спрыгнуть с первого параплана и раскрыть парашют. Зачем он зацепился за второй параплан?
Guys I need help and feedback with my gopro video I made. Its my first video I made on my channel and I use a gopro. Can you please check and the video and tell me how it was. Thanks.
Hey everyone! Did you notice that gopro never made WINDSURFING edit? Never! They should! I’m new in this and I would love to learn something from the best but I can’t. Pls guys check my channel out I would like to improve it but with out any sugestions I would not be better. PLS SUBSCRIBE it will make me more motivated to do videos. THS
Asinine stunts like this are just another reason USHGA should never have adopted paragliders. The sport seems to attract these sorts of mug-for-the-camera bozos. What’s your next stunt Matthias – kicking owls?
Hey just posted my first gopro video! Noticed it looked great before and then after editing and posting it looks sorta bad. Any advice would help. And should I use sony vegas to edit or just gopro studios?
This is so cool I live on the other side of the river and although you can’t see it my house is in the frame in a little town with only a couple hundred people so awesome
I immediately thought of Happy Wheels when I saw that title^^

WE WANT 60 fps GoPro!
Like to spread the word
Trust me, my beer can do it better, hold me.
That dude is craaaazy
Интересно он сам отпустился или руки не выдержали? Сколько он интересно весил при такой скорости падения, в нижней точке.
Наверное хотели сделать что то вроде качелей, но когда парашютист дернул своим весом второго парапланериста, тот испугался и парашютист отпустил веревку.

Because a parachute jump isn’t scary enough..
What’s with the sound? No turbulence
I am wayching this while taking a dump.. not a very bright idea.
Great Idea, and a lot of balls to do this, but the video editing was shit, cuts made me completely confused on where the guy was
These People are Freaking CRA-CRA….LOL

Asinine stunts like this are just another reason USHGA should never have adopted paragliders. The sport seems to attract these sorts of mug-for-the-camera bozos. What’s your next stunt Matthias – kicking owls?
Hey just posted my first gopro video! Noticed it looked great before and then after editing and posting it looks sorta bad. Any advice would help. And should I use sony vegas to edit or just gopro studios?
