We’ve seen speedflying in multiple videos before, but usually it involves a skier floating down the mountain with a parasail attached to his or her back. In the case of this video, it appears that professional mountain biker Kilian Bron is taking the sport to the next level by speedflying on a mountain bike instead. He catches a lift from good friend Eliot Nochez, who helps him drift down the mountain, before eventually dropping him off on solid ground. In the process, it looks like a new adventure sport is born.
