Which one is it when your getting air like this?: Snowkiting Movie splaterwin Since 17 Nov 2005 165 Posts Vancouver Stoked Sun Jan 15, 06 10:35 am     That's a kite! Paragliders normally don't loop that fast or flat. _________________ My kite not pink it's magenta damit! pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6548 Posts Couve / Hood Site Lackey Sun Jan 15, 06 10:47 am     splaterwin wrote: That's a kite! Paragliders normally don't loop that fast or flat. I know, I was just saying damn that's pretty high and a ton of airtime for a kite! Though I didn't even know can you really loop a paraglider like that (such that the lines cross)?

Kinda funny, actually. http://www.flexifoilvideo.com/download/?video=matt_blanchard_snowkite_movie Any of the local riders getting this kind hang time? http://www.kiteaira.de/fileadmin/Bilder/Videos/Peters_Kitelooptraining_gut.wmv Is it just me? or is snowkiting missing the smooth 'fluid' style of riding that looks good on water? Just seems there's a lot of dangling and flopping in many of the vids. Anyone got a snowkiting video with more style? I'd like to see someone laying down a long smooth carve in a deep powdery bowl with a powered kite. -Hein J.P.
