My name is Stephen Schieberl. I like making things with computers. I write code to explore creative and interesting ways to experience technology. I produce music as Let's Go Outside and head up Slant Records around. I try to balance it out with a lot of outdoor activities.
Here's some raw footage of a few laps flying in the suburbs. A couple friends turned me onto this location recently. I live eight miles from here, so it's a real time and gas saver. ;) There was almost no wind so runs were decently fast, even with my ITV Bip Bip 16 on its slowest setting. Flying this spot tends to draw anywhere from a few folks to a full on crowd from the neighborhood, but we're always welcomed and try to answer questions. It's a good time. Someone really needs to trim those bushes.
Yeah, speedflying is sort of the meeting point between paragliding and high performance canopy piloting (skydiving). I came to it from the skydiving side in 2004, but the paragliding world has come up with the better, discipline-specific gear in the past few years. Hence the purchase. I love this wing!
Is this a cross between hangliding and something else? Looks fun.
