Slingshot: ok walk away after this landing?

Cool video, but notice at 2:24 Rebstock walks back into the castle after leaving the rally flapping on its edge...whats the take home message here...If your a badass you don't need to properly secure your kite after a session? Or this is how one is supposed to park the Rally? :rollgrin:

Just a novice error. Got a line hooked on a turret and he's just going inside to unhook it.
Probably no-one else around for miles.

Looks like summer when he was there.

Some good spots there.

that scene was staged by the movie director. right after that scene I bet he raced back down to the kite and properly set it down. why is he going in that tiny castle, he doesn't live there lol, it's all for effect.sometimes you have to remember "It's just a movie"

I like the shot of the side of the cow and then the back of his head.
They have the same hairdo! :lol:
Man the kid sure can tear it up out there. :thumb:

I reckon he didn't do it on purpose, ended up like that after trying to set it down behind the turret
