Holy shit, he's fuckin' crazy! JP and I climbed up there a few years ago. Shit was scary on a light-wind day near the edges. Can't imagine holding onto a kite.

besides the skill and balls of doing the things that crazy kid does what blows me away is that he does it all on a damn waroo.
Makes me want to buy one and sell the slingys..........you slingers should sponser him again much prettier photos with fuels vs. pink bests.
he is a true pilot.

| That would be stupid to fly a fuel in that situation, a PINK NEMESIS is preferable. FOO

| not only did he help design it, he flew it, what is your point? let's see, did he take it off a rock cliff, no, but he flew it off a hill, and let's see, kicked snow off the treetops, kite or pliot? you decide!!

Laura, surely this gentleman has other credentials inwhich to judge his pilot/riding ability. Saw the pictures right when they were posted and have to say, that is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen a kiter do. Maybe it's best they got jerked. I sure wouldn't want to get people thinking that is sane manuvure IMHO! Pilot...? Definitely not! Off the rocker, dropped when a child, glutten for attention, that would be a more accurate discription I think... roll:
If the pics do surface again, just check out how close he came from cashing it all in... Not smart.... Might look sick but not smart.....

| AP blurs the line between paragliding & kiting better than anyone. While he is very bold, he is also incredibly skilled and comfortable off the deck.
