Epic Freestyle
The Spin Doctor - A fun and forgiving companion that will look after you when you start out in freestyle, and match your groove as you master all the moves and transitions
Pilot Profile:
The EPIC FREESTYLE is the wild child of the original Epic, much loved by acro and SIV instructors as the perfect wing to learn freestyle, acro manoeuvres and fly XC on. We brought it back with bells on. No shrinking violet, it’s feisty in pink and is for all pilots looking for a safe, forgiving and energetic wing to cut their freestyle teeth on. It’s your new best mate, egging you on to be as wild as you dare but keeping you out of sticky situations. It likes you to think it’s a fearless devil, but inside it’s still a safe, versatile, and friendly “easy EN-B”.The BGD Epic Freestyle is a safe EN-B paraglider specifically designed for pilots looking to learn or progress in SIV, freestyle, and acro manoeuvres while retaining full Cross-Country (XC) capabilities. With a flat aspect ratio of 5.0, it is forgiving and helps protect pilots from timing mistakes during complex moves like Helis, SATs, and Misty Flips. It features incredible spiral behavior, Progressive Stability, and Chord Cut Billow (CCB) for improved form friction and performance.
