Types of activity in Gudauri: paragliding, speedriding
Flying with a parachute in Gudauri is especially a pleasure and a unique sport. The main thing is that the weather should be flying.
The history of the sport of parachuting.
They began to try parachuting and even with skis in the seventies. The beginning was the descents from the slopes. But the speed was insufficient and they began to change the pattern of the parachute. The task was to fly longer on the horizon, and to descend more smoothly. So paragliders appeared. Today, this sport has stepped far from those times. After all, the speed of descent of today's giant slalom has increased significantly.
Speedriding is a new sport in Gudauri.
What is this type of sports recreation? Speedriding or you can call speedflying a fairly young sport. This is skiing under a parachute, or else it is called a wing over your head. High speed and low takeoffs, speedriding is considered an extreme sport. In addition, skiing takes place on difficult routes with different steepness of descents and ascents. To conquer any heights and obstacles on swift downhill skis catching air currents will never be forgotten.
Studying in Gudauri.
Given the young age of speedflying, it is clear that there are no great champions yet. Methodical publications have not been formed and volumes on this sport have not been written.
However, the school has already appeared in Gudauri. What is offered to those who wish?
- training on a specially equipped track, it runs along the Doppelmayr (this is a four—chair cable car)
- training for a week of skiing — 75 euros or daily payment - 12 vro
- equipment new
- individual classes, a student - instructor
- something in the form of a hostel for students, more precisely — a free hostel
You can master the speedriding technique yourself, but there are many difficulties along the way. When making a decision about training, it is worth finding out the mentor's experience.
