Did you have enuf drag from your messed up wing to keep the smack down tolerable? Once your risers are that twisted AND you are dealing with a cravat, it's time to huck! _________________ Lets FLY bambam Since 15 Mar 2005 760 Posts Hood River Photographer Mon May 24, 10 3:09 pm     Ha... Yeah, the real Jonny Rotten is definitely da man... For sure that reserve did not fully get open, but then this is why I am at the lake. I could have thrown a lot higher, but I was messing around with just how impossible it really is to control through multiple line twists. If I was over the land, I never would have been throwing like that in the first place, and secondly would have thrown the reserve immediately and been ready to throw the second as well. Good times at the lake...

By the time he decided to toss he was so g'd out he could not even get to his reserve! hit the water with an amazing amount of speed! He was knocked out and rescued by the tow boat when he was face down! I will look for the video clip and post it! glad you made it out ok! That kind of thing would really shake me up!        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
