Speed flying
Speed flying (also known as speed riding) is the air sport of flying a small, fast fabric wing, usually in close proximity to a steep slope. Speed flying and speed riding are very similar sports; speed flying is when the speed wing is foot-launched, while speed riding (or ski gliding) is a winter sport done on skis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.flyozone.com/gallery/a/speed/products/brochures/2009SpeedBrochureWeb.pdf )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gingliders.com/speedflying/general-information/what-is-speedflying/ )〕 Sustained flight with a speed glider is possible over a ridge in strong winds.
== Comparison to paragliding and parachuting ==
Speed flying is a unique hybrid sport that has combined elements of paraponting, paragliding, parachuting, and even skiing to create a new sport. Like paragliding, speed flying is done by launching from a slope with the wing overhead, already inflated by the incoming air. The main difference between speed flying and paragliding, is that speed flying is meant to create a fast, thrilling ride close to the slope, while the point of paragliding is usually to maintain a longer, gentler flight. The fast landing technique for speed wings is similar to that used in parachuting. However, parachuting or skydiving is done from a plane or fixed object (BASE jumping), and the wing is designed to arrest the free fall. Newer designs of hybrid-wings (also called mini-wings) are now being produced to allow a high speed "hike and fly" from mountainous areas. They can be soared in strong laminar winds and thermalled similar to paragliders, and may also be trimmed for a more traditional speed flying descent.
