New Zealand is known for being a land where adventure sports and adrenaline-inducing activities are popular. Now, you can add speedflying to the list of things you can do when visiting the land of the kiwi. In this clip, you’ll get a chance to see what that sport is all about as two paragliders take to the skies, soaring above the breathtaking landscapes that the country is so well known for. Traditionally, speedflying is a mix of paragliding and skiing, although there isn’t a lot of that happening here. Still, it is a wild ride with some fantastic views along the way.
