And I guess with the ambiguity in terminology you could be talking about a double back roll or a double front roll. But either way, what's so lame about a nice floaty double well landed on a plane? I know it's not the hardest trick in the world but it requires some skill and a lot of people think they're pretty damn fun. Maybe your just saying they're lame at the Pro level? But you seem to be anti-rotation. Please tell us about some of the non-lame stuff you're working on.... pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6549 Posts Couve / Hood Honored Founder Mon Sep 10, 07 7:18 am     I think he was just kidding, or was he? With BH if it doesn't involve hitting a lip or cutback, he's not interested. blowhard Since 26 Dec 2005 2027 Posts Windward Mon Sep 10, 07 7:37 am     It was a letdown it wasn't too hard to do some of the pro level shizz back then I don't know why they took it off the list I would have left it there !! When that happened I tried some backrolls with a kiteloop because I didn't have a swivel on my bar and the lines would come out right fuck that really HURTS Trix are for kids But if you would like I could show you some DOH wave riding and the COMPLEMENTORY "Wave 360" The main thing I work on is staying ALIVE oh ya and having FUUUUN!!!!! but would agree it's fun watching the world go round (spins)        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
