Secondly, I really don't know that a one-on-one contest proves anything about the virtues of one kite compared to another; it is more indicative of rider skill vs rider skill
Am i wrong or is PMU admiting that the kite has nothing to do with it, but s in fact the rider that makes the kite look good or perform well.

PMU we have been telling you this all the time.

I'm just glad that u finally understood.

It's not the kite but the kiter that is good.
If all the top pro's where sponsored by ram air kites they would ride as good as they do now.
How many tube companies do you know, how many rams?

I'll put $500 on Ted being able to do one. And I will also pay $500 to watch him kick Chump Me Up's ass. Hey chump me up or pump me up of jack me off or whatever your name is, how come you have not placed top anything in any contests? How come you have not been published in Kitesurfing magazine? Keep spreading your lies about ram airs. Who really cares about your worthless posts?

Mike, he writes double back loop not double kite loop!
double backloop with grab and kiteloop all riders at the PKRA can do.

Just a question to Ted and anyone who rides Flysurfer Titans or Psychos... has anyone ever stomped a COMPLETE forward kiteloop?

Ram airs are slow turning turkeys due to inertia, lack of internal rigidity, excessive drag, and lack of rudder effect from wing tips. The best way to prove me wrong is by doing a single forward kiteloop or better still, a complete 720 deg double kiteloop and claiming the $5000 reward.

PS: The question about a single forward kiteloop is genuine... I'm curious... has ANYONE ever landed a complete forward kiteloop on a Flysurfer kite??

one question to pump me up, do we care?????

How many people can do a forward kite loop on an inflatable, i have only seen a guy try it in a video and he got his ass handed to him. So what is the validity of your point, and don't be a pussy and take up the challenge, don't change the subject.

Still no replies...

I'm beginning to suspect that NOBODY has EVER pulled a SINGLE COMPLETE FORWARD kiteloop on a Flysurfer kite.

Our suspicions have been confirmed: Ram airs, because of their inertia, lack of internal rigidity, lack of wing tips, and excessive drag, cannot turn fast enough to pull a SINGLE forward kiteloop, let alone a DOUBLE.

C'mon ram lovers.... ANYBODY pulled a SINGLE forward kiteloop???

Why all the name calling and threats of violence?

Must be hitting a nerve?
