Jessie Richman had a 22 sec jump with ~7 overhead kiteloops at Crissy during the Big Air Wind Jam.
Congrats to Jessie on a new record. Video should show up soon. |

What about Alex Peterson. I've seen him 100ft + and huge hang time like no other; On water and snow. What's is really the world record. ? And who makes the call.
I was there and saw it. Huge booster to high kite loop and letting it loop him around for hella long, seven times i think. It blew crissy minds away, that's for sure...!  |

I'm pretty sure the guy in the video is that guy in the road warrior who got his fingers cut off with the metal boomarang. |

anyone know what kind of kite that is? logo on the video is Best, but I think that's just because they sponsored the event. I thought Jesse was a Cabrinha rider.
I'd love to know how that kind of looping is possible... i've just started trying loops and I can't keep the kite that high while looping.. always goes to the power zone for me. |

This is the longest hang time for a water to water jump that I have heard of.
Snow kiting, with updrafts and thermals, seems to be in a different category and I suspect paragliders have that record  |

If that's not impressive enough, wathc the footage again. He changes direction of the his loops from counterclockwise to clockwise half way thru.
Way to ride a 'weird' wind!!! |
