That looks like a whole load of fun - and a great way to do yourself great harm!

I've got a aerofoil kite that's bigger than those things... doesn't 'arf pull hard in a brisk wind!

That looks like fun but i bet the walk back to the top takes ages!!

Nutters, you wouldn't get me putting a pair of skis on.

Looks great fun, and you can ski without falling over, well nearly.

Try it, especially down the Mens Downhill course at Lake Louise...... According to my
Garmin GPS I reached 82mph

Only bungy jumping can match the adrenaline rush

Having done in excess of 600 skydives I suspect an adrenaline can be had elsewhere. I'm still not sticking skis on !

wow that is one great way to kill yourself.
those guys are using small skydive parachute canopies that take a great deal of skill to manouvre especially close to the ground.

Seen them in action in the Pyrenees and know a guy who teaches it, awesome sport if you get board or regular skiing!!
