 Speed riding combines racing and flying. It's French and started in 2005. Since then there is no stopping - literally. Speed riding is a virulent affliction and best practiced by professional skiers, mountainboarders, snow kiters or anyone mad enough to add thrust to gravity. Speed riding involves riding down a slope at high speed, occasionally taking off to clear sections before touching down and carving off. JN Kitesports have contracted this rare disease - badly. Stoked to the core, and after a sensational four-month development period, they have it now - the JN SpeedRider. JN`s SpeedRider is different: not a small paraglider; not a skydiving canopy and not a kite - it's simply a speed rider. Designed for high speed with extreme stability and a wide flying speed range.
