  Cruising off the ground to soaring above the clouds, you can launch and go anywhere with Motorized Paragliding!
  .
  Although the terms Paragliding and Parasailing may be mixed up, most people come with an idea of what the 2 main sports look like. For a quick refresher, paragliding is the act of non-powered, foot launched flight (not necessarily being towed behind a boat). To make things even more confusing, now there is a new sport thrown in the mix. It's called Speed Flying, and as of the time of this writing, most people will have no idea what this is. So let's shed some light about them and compare this sport to the more commonly known paragliding, together with answer some Frequently Inquired Questions about both.
  
  Paragliding involves piloting a very large "ram air" canopy while using the ultimate goal of soaring for extended periods of time. The wing is longer and narrow, which creates a large amount of lift with very impede airspeeds. Paragliding is a cruising sport, where the pilot makes strategic use of the winds and other natural lift sources to sustain flight. Those individuals that would be drawn to sailing a boat will be the same types that would enjoy paragliding.
  
  Speed Flying in contrast, is for the fighter pilot in your mind. A speed flying wing is shaped similar to a high performance parachute together with meant to descend out of the sky at adrenaline inducing speeds. The pilot begins her flight presents itself a mountain, launching with a healthy sprint, and then racing slalom style with the different terrain features on the way down. Speed flying is certainly a cousin to paragliding, but it's the cousin that all of those other family loves to discuss stories about, but not necessarily join in the voyage.
  
  We will now answer the commonest questions specific to just about every sport:
  
  Is actually paragliding safe? - The sport with paragliding has evolved tremendously during the last decade, and with this evolution there is a significant increase in the safety. Like any many other adventure sport, there are always risks, and it is up to each individual to determine their risk threshold. Using proper training, a modern paraglider, and good judgment, one can fly injury-free well into old age. Of course, an individual may well do the exact opposite off this, continually scare independently, and maybe even get fortunate to not get injured. It is completely up to the pilot.
  
  Is actually speed flying safe? - Speed flying is a new sport here in North america, but it has recently been popular in Europe just the summer years now. In that time there have been significant improvements to the safety areas of the wings, as well as being the piloting techniques. With a modern wing in the right climate, one can easily make thousands of incident-free flights. Although speed flying is a faster sport than paragliding, there are a number of speeds to decide on, as explained below.
  
  How long does it take to educate yourself paragliding? - An individual can typically fly solo on the very first day associated with training, and it takes 5-10 days to master the required skills to help earn a "P2" rating. paragliding queenstown
