Trying to get stoked for this snow season? Look no further than this mind-bending speedflying clip from Valentin Delluc and Redbull. Speedflying is not for the faint of heart. Literally flying down a slope with skis just barely touching the snow, a speedrider is just one slight miscalculation or unexpected gust of wind away from total destruction for the entire ride. But for pros like Valentin, that’s just par for the course, along with a couple tree taps and flips to keep things interesting. Follow along with Valentin as he makes this wildly dangerous sport look actually approachable. You can also learn more about the wild pursuits of speedriding in this interview with Sun Valley’s Will Burks.
