utter nonsense i'm 105kg = roughly 230lbs.
285 lbs wouldn;t be to hard to get p and riding. the trick is to get planning and then have her jump on your back

after studying this video VERY carefully (especially around minute 14 for the impatient), it appears he did have to loop the kite to get going since he unspins the bar right after. and he must have been very well powered to jump with the extra weight. there were cuts so not clear he even got up the first time. again, we all need to just study this video very closely and maybe even meet those girls for an interview.

seems like the answer is go out a kite size or 2 higher than standard. Perhaps match that with a big boar and it will be on like donkey kong.
