I remember seeing a lot of Adam Koch up until a couple of years ago what ever happened to him? He was a big inspiration when I was getting into the sport 5 years ago - it would be nice to hear what he is up to these days.
One of the Kite mags should do a follow up on some of the early pioneers - I think most people would appreciate it.

Re: What happened to Adam Koch?
Adam was out at the Ozone snowkitemasters taking pics and throwing down. I believe he lives in CO now with his wife and new family. I just met him this year, super kind person..ragingpenguin wrote:I remember seeing a lot of Adam Koch up until a couple of years ago what ever happened to him?

He spent almost all his time I saw him behind the lens, I have seen abunch of the shots he took used all over. Great Pics.

Re: What happened to Adam Koch?
awesome vid, which i'd not seen before. great riding, killer style, balls of steel. one of the early innovators, for sure, and, obviously capable of riding with anybody anywhere.
