Yep, check this out!- http://vimeo.com/22892329


Been charging hard these days with the wing, having the time of my life. Here is a link to a speed video I have up on the BD site-http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en-us/journal/ski/video/bd-athlete-dave-turner-speed-flying-in-the-sierras

And my Vimeo page with all the videos- http://vimeo.com/user5961980/videos


I am always looking for speed wing and paraglider pilots to fly with. If you or anyone you know is interested, please contact me and lets rip it up!

Big props go out to Armond, Chris I., Kia, Kris, Ryan, Brett, Mike, and Lori for coming out and flying with me!

Nice Dave!


Slow down a little for me though, hard to scope climbing routes at that speed.


Keep it up, keep it fun.
