OK, so its the final couple days of the kokanee crankworks in whistler. Here is a vid of the qualifying runs in the slopestyle event. http://www.vimeo.com/14120810 You can fast forward to around 1:30 to get right to the action. Having just been up there, I can tell you that the features that these guys are hucking themselves off are FUCKING HUGE. Not just "wow" that is big huge, I mean bone crunching, testicle shrinking, no way in hell I would ever do that huge. That platform at 1:31 is at least 50' high. When these guys fall, they often go to the hospital. _________________ Bury me standing cause I won't lay down!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVvAw2VFR4Y&feature=PlayList&p=FB7233C37686AC79&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=34 Campbell Since 07 Sep 2008 409 Posts Camas, WA Obsessed Fri Aug 13, 10 11:54 am     Shiiiit, Kiteme's mom went off that jump and did a table top.

You can't drown in dirt, but you can paralyze yourself pretty well. _________________ Bury me standing cause I won't lay down!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVvAw2VFR4Y&feature=PlayList&p=FB7233C37686AC79&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=34 Gman Since 11 Feb 2006 4911 Posts Portland Unstrapped Sat Aug 14, 10 8:47 am     i can do some of that: broken collar bone, dislocated shoulder, broken femur... _________________ Go Deep! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eu2pBpQolKE eric Since 13 Jan 2006 1866 Posts XTreme Poster Sat Aug 14, 10 9:10 am     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK8byQsugFw&feature=related forrest Since 21 Jun 2005 4330 Posts Hood River Hick CGKA Member Mon Aug 16, 10 8:42 am     MonkeyBoy, just got a new stem and bars and the jumps are so much smoother. Starting to whip a little in both directions. pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Mon Aug 16, 10 9:24 am     Nice! did you get a set of really wide bars? I see allot of people running them these days. Still one more whistler trip planned for this year..... _________________ Bury me standing cause I won't lay down!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVvAw2VFR4Y&feature=PlayList&p=FB7233C37686AC79&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=34 genek Since 21 Jul 2006 2165 Posts East Po KGB Mon Aug 16, 10 9:42 am     He got some 28" (same as mine I think). Not super wide like some people but pretty wide. I think some people run 29 or even more. Post up some Whistler footage monkey. Even if it looks crappy it'll be interesting to check out. I haven't seen much of the 2nd/3rd day riding. _________________ The Slider Project, LLC Support the cause! http://www.sliderproject.com/        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
