I hope he has some good lines! Ya, I think we've been through this vid (or one like it) and discussion here before. The last time I saw this I freaked that ridge-soaring with a kite put you at just a single point of failure from a likely death (only one line has to break). And someone responded that the pilot/kiter in question had mad skills and a paragliding background, and that he usually rigged redundant lines when he did this. Its a sick vid. _________________ Lets FLY blowhard Since 26 Dec 2005 2027 Posts Windward Thu May 08, 08 3:23 pm     who is that smiling man? it's a bird ,a plane white punks on strings !! do you waroo? registered Since 12 Jul 2005 1319 Posts tsunami Sandbagger Fri May 09, 08 5:32 am     I hear the fences are safer to play with then the sharky waters of the pacific.        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
