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...! Shocked

Yeah, Some of these are pretty high and long. I've seen him go even bigger and longer but we'll have to wait for the next Warren Miller movie to see those.

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 Smile

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!!!
