Re: Looping it at 52 knots.

super cool. can't wait to see the vid.
congrats on the fastest boat ever, and on making out of the crash with minimal damage.
with efficiency like that, i expect that a boat, perhaps your boat, will soon be the outright record holder.
kudos. :thumb:

Re: Eclipse kites - Dimitri Maramenides "Most shocking vidios"

dimitri says he's learned to wear his helmet when he does things like that. how about learning NOT to do things like that in the first place? did that ever enter your mind? his post accident awareness reminds me of the dumb ass who got slammed into the building earlier in the year after trying to ki...

Re: Boosting in overpowered conditions

true. taking off from a nice steep ramp means you don't have to start with the kite low in the window and then whip it back. you can leave the kite at 11:00, head up the ramp, and then whip it back. By the time you're leaving the top of the wave, the kite is about pulling you off your edge. Then jus...

Re: are fast kites dangerous? (to a certain level)

easy, swk. all i said was that it was debatable. remember that, debate, where people sift through information, deliberate, argue? not everything is a black and white slamdown. people who think so are themselves ridiculous. in the spirit of debate, i'd be interest if rick i. has any figures correlati...

for those wondering whether this is safe or not the answer is NO.
great way to kill oneself.

Re: ALL Board Leashes are not Evil!

read panchito's post. then re-read it. just you haven't had a problem YET, doesn't mean that there aren't inherent risks in ALL leashes. on occasion, (and probably too much cause i'm lazy) i use the reel leash. it's great in very particular circumstances. but, as many have said, when you really get ...

this bums me out. i contributed to the fund after the kiter's death, and now it makes me angry that his widow is allowing this lawsuit to go forward. i'm not saying i blame her, but it will certainly make me think twice before contributing long-distance again. also, to all the people who say america...
