It’s tough to keep up with all the terms that encompass extreme sports these days, and I’ll be open and honest and say speed flying is a new one to me.
Apparently it’s ‘the air sport of flying a small, fast fabric wing, usually in close proximity to a steep slope’, and if that’s the case we can see why this effort qualifies.
This video was uploaded to YouTube by Jean-Jacques Wallis with the following description:

just a sweet swoop line down to Clifton 2
I imagine a few Clifton residents may have been somewhat shocked to see Wallis zoom past.
