Dont really get your point about the wind. Ofcourse more wind is an advantage. But you dont score higher because the wind is more or less, but because the jump is higher or lower. Identical jump should score same in 25 as in 30 knots.But your only competing with other riders in your heat ofcourse a...

You also have to remember when judging a heat if the judges have given 1 rider a 7.5 for a trick and then someone does a crazier trick higher it must score more. You should not compare trick scores from different heats especially in Cape Town where the wind can change heat by heat & score is 70% hei...

I have never seen a jury sport that its clear to the viewers Yeah and there also always people who disagree and they are the ones who shout about a conspiracy. The thousands of people who enjoyed it are simply happy that Andrea won and for the show all the riders put on and are not shouting about i...

Hi team, Got some clarity from the riders' briefing. The riders were told there are 3 aspects they should look at for scoring: 1. Height 2. Extremity 3. Technicality Choose two. (I'm paraphrasing) Tricks were put into trick categories, regardless of height of a loop. A high contra with a contra hel...

All in all, I think this year's kota has been the most fun/best production so far, though I'm also a tad bit disappointed to see such a massive scoring difference, and maybe Lorenzo not landing his snake loop by just bouncing and crashing. It would have been an epic 10 points trick :) The scoring d...

And how many use woo? Do you really think there are people jumping over 20m who don't use Woo? Most people I know that loop don’t use Woo anymore. Only guy I know who regularly goes big in uk and uses one is Matt who is just trying to get 30m then he’s not going to bother. He doesn’t loop though. T...

I go every year in Jan feb but since covid they moved kota to end nov/dec so don’t see it live. Last year on a windy day with 200 kites out you could easily see 30 people doing 20m + mega loops if you watched for hour so over a season there is way more than 100 people doing 25m mega loops. I know a...

@ Lucas kiteloop
Maybe they mean, why Lorenzo beat Jeremy as Jeremy was going high and landing clean but Lorenzo got scored high for butt checks

@lucas kiteloop If Lorenzo had landed all his tricks clean he would have won but didn’t and still came 2nd. Get over it there is no conspiracy Lorenzo just didn’t land what would have been his 3 or 4 top scores and if he landed would have also increased his impression score. Then he would of won and...

Andrea & Lorenzo are the only ones doing there style of riding so both are equally as hard and I think equally impressive. Lorenzo won kota last year Andrea this year so how can these people argue ? On the day in the Final this year Andrea won due to tricks done at height and clean landings who care...
