I love when the dude hits the slider; good on ya for showing it. that's what I'm going to do my 1st time. Around the 3min mark someones doing kiteloops (?), how are they doing it? Do they pop or boost? Whats the kite doing? thanks for any tips. Wind Slither Since 04 Mar 2005 2626 Posts The 503 METAL Sat Jun 21, 08 10:43 am     Well done Addicts! Nice riding! Sol-flyer Since 21 Mar 2006 1280 Posts Dude, where's my Bus? Otto Mann Sat Jun 21, 08 10:47 am     LMAO....10/06/08 is actually 06/10/08 just sounded better,....day,month,year Quote: Great vid! thanks for sharing. I love when the dude hits the slider; good on ya for showing it. that's what I'm going to do my 1st time. Nice!, its a lot easier after you do what you fear the most Quote: Around the 3min mark someones doing kiteloops (?), how are they doing it? Do they pop or boost? Whats the kite doing? thanks for any tips. Start with a big kite (lighter winds), and do nice floaty jump with minimal forward momentum. Continue to pull with your back hand as you bring the kite over 12 o'clock and make sure your board is facing downwind. Just dont boost higher than your willing to free-fall....after time when your technique is better, then try to really boost into a loop. Hope that helps, I know someone can touch up the finer points, but thats the jist of it. THANKS EVERYONE I'm glad you all like the vid, I figured this would be a good way to inspire all of you to get out and film your progression. Its not about making fame, Its about creating something that we all can to relate to on a more local community level. -Frankie Furter _________________ I stretch my wings and pull the strings kitekid Since 15 Apr 2007 170 Posts Stoked Sat Jun 21, 08 11:04 am     hahaha i had some ok kite loops in there.

Early-Mid July would be a great time!, Any time in july august is pretty solid for NW winds. Quote: Was this shot at floras? I'm thinking about heading down that way for the 4th. Yes, This is shot at floras lake. Look forward to seeing you there, Look for the ECLIPSE KITES _________________ I stretch my wings and pull the strings wytcap Since 10 Mar 2005 203 Posts NW oregon Stoked Sun Jun 22, 08 2:55 pm     Eclipse Rocks! If any one wants to try out Eclipse Kites I will be down based out of Floras lake with Matt from 6-26--7-9. Stop by and give them a try. Dale KidCorporate Since 10 Jul 2007 563 Posts Addicted Sun Jun 22, 08 9:58 pm     Word, sounds like there'll be a crew coming down with me. See you kids down there! I have a quick question though, what's the fastest/easiest way down from PDX? my knowledge of S. Oregon is spotty at best. _________________ Let's go kite.        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1, 2  Next Page 1 of 2   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
