I tried the North Rebel 2012 today and I really liked the kite. But man, I can't afford it! Only the bar costs 400 euro. Which other freeride kite is a must try for me if I like the combination of easy huge jumps good waveriding and not much bar pressure?

Yes, pump it harder.

My weight also is 73 kg.
Had a switchblade 12 and sold it, way too big and slow.

I ride 10 and 8

As always. Sand under de rubber ring of the valve.
Take it of clean it (blow sand away). Put it back.

I use an impactvest when I try new tricks. Started this after some close calls. Kiteloop-backloop-smacks. I am sure i would have broken my ribs if I didn't use it.

Kevin without hands!
Thats cool dude.
Kevin deserves to be the new champion!

Point is why should I be thankfull as we made a deal and paid you for it.
It is normal, why should I buy you a beer it is big business for you. You should buy me a beer.

Gunnar,

When I was at your spot I had to pay 30 euro in advance. You did not have to reccue me though. You didn't buy me a beer and you didn't thank me!

When they ask me, I ride in front of them and give them signals.
Pointing down means kite lower.
Pointing at the leg means more pressure on the rear leg.
Pointing at the but means but forward.

Most of the times it takes 15 minutes to make a big difference.
So ask a good rider to help.

A dog grabed my bar. Had to keep him up and kick his balls.
