Taut are you saying that a "regular" every day Kiter gonna throw one of these huge kiteloops and never got filmed and published?come on... who wouldn't walk and speak like a cock between chickens if he could accomplish a MEGAloop like that.Its in our nature
I agree that many guys (including me) throwing some dissent megaloops,but not like those!
I met Ruben this year in Greece.he was here for the Mystic 2013 photo shoot!i told to him that while he was doing photos with 20knots max ,me and some buddies throwing loops with 35+ in the other side of Greece.he got so disappointed that he was in the wrong place.all I am saying is that he is not doing it for the money.he lives for that!

well if you are doing kiteloops in 35+ why can't people on Maui do it? There are actually some pretty good riders over there. Lots of pros too.
Not everyone needs to brag about their riding
Some people actually ride just to have fun. That said, there are some nice shots done. Check with ToastSyn on this site. He got some really well made shots and some new angles. dunno how it compares, but at least it
As I said before, maybe my skill set isn't good enough to judge, and I certainly have not seen lenten throw those live, and maybe because I saw some pretty sick ones on Maui live that influence me, but my whole point is that the video presented was very similar to other videos of the same. gah.

The loops are on another level. Eddie the Eagle is who I want to fly like! I'll save my loops for landings.

regards the filming / editing - pretty impressive for storm force winds, freezing winter temps and overcast skies - thought the loops with the windfarm backdrop looked great
