If I get my surface 360 down, I bet that will come next! Yeah right, and a few broken rotator cups. that happy horse crap is for 16 year olds with invincible joints!

Might have been Scotty?

As much fun as it would be to practice, practice, practice and be able to launch some of the more difficult radical tricks, for many of us, the prospect of getting hurt makes it questionable. I'd rather not have to sit out part of the season and live off my savings because I wanted to nail F16's or kiteloops handlespasses. I'm just saying that besides being a wuss, all it takes is one bad landing and you're out.

But I will still give it a shot!

Giving it a shot is All I ask. The objective is having fun and showcasing some "free-style" for spectators. Hopefully this little challange will draw some folks in that might not think the races are for them while show the spectators that kiting is mult facited.

Greg you are just trying to get us to all kill ourselves so you have the whole beach to yourself! Kidding.

Consumer;
I didnt know the guy, or didnt reconize him from the beach, and yes I did look rather hard. He was farly young, mid 20s med-stocky-dk brown hair (sorry I dont remember the kite). My first thought was it was Scotty but it wasnt.
The trick wasnt done clean but it was still very impressive,

I'd do anything for $100. That's like 20 mowed lawns and 10 washed cars. Hopefully I'll have an advantage being a kid. I'll go a size over powered and do as big of a kite loop I can(as long as you cover the hospital bill).
