Skate & Deploy

SPORTING-SAILS - Slide or Deploy

To be, or not to be: that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to slide or to sail down the mountain remains a decision one must contemplate during the descent.

The sound of screeching horror or the elegance of a whispering breeze...

Skate & Deploy.

SPORTING-SAILS - The History of Ski-Flying

“Without a doubt it is a magnificent, even intoxicating feeling to float down in the air so long, far and high, truly acting more like a bird than like a human being, to a certain extent acquiring a superhuman characteristic trait and flying along just like an eagle.” - Sep Bradl (Austria, 1936)

Sep Bradl is the very first man to jump and fly over more than 100 meters at Planica in 1936. His accomplished attempt to "soar down the mountain" marked the beginning of the era of ski-flying.
