Push-ups will give you largers shoulders so your harness doesn't rise. Dips and Pull ups will help with unhooking. jcohenx Since 28 Aug 2007 250 Posts Portland Obsessed Tue Oct 16, 07 6:34 am    training w/o wind Anything to exercise the hip flexors, shoulders, obliques, and abs are always good. I also recommend swimming in the off season to keep cardio up. _________________ It's always happy hour somewhere in the world. jahmbi Since 28 Jul 2005 622 Posts MORE HUMAN THAN HUMAN River Troll Tue Oct 16, 07 6:50 am     WAYS 2 TRAIN ALWAYS HAVE A FULL GLASS OF MICRO BREW,,A FULL GLASS OF WINE,,A FORK IN YOUR HAND,,FOOD ON YOUR PLATE,,GOOD LOOKIN GIRL..$ IN THE BANK..GOOD FRIENDS ...PROB.

Has a 190lb counter weight or similar.

Jeff Tobias was throwing those loops everyone is nowadays. Getting pretty high on a few of them too. Let's make a new DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sebastian Since 11 Sep 2007 1 Posts Seattle New Member Tue Oct 16, 07 11:51 am    Aerialist/trapeze classes Don't know where the training places are in Oregon, but I have noticed some distinct similarities that would result in transferable skills from doing kiteboarding tricks and circus style aerials/trapeze tricks. http://www.necenterforcircusarts.org/classes/flyingtrapezeclass/ And really, isn't it character building to get to wear a unitard in public every once in a while?        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
