Alex was riggin big with the Rev 15m and started launching off that lower butte. I was interested to see him flying rev's given their reputation of not having a lot of float...he made it look like it was full of helium! Even pkh had a bigger kite than me at the end of the day.

That was a site to see. Sorry, I didn't take the time to do a great job on the audio, so you'll have to overlook the audio for the video's sake.

Otto Mann Fri Jan 30, 09 9:12 am     Looks like the event is under scrutiny of wilderness advocacy groups,.. www.wildwilderness.org/content/view/982/58/ I know its great to watch people like alex peterson jumping off peaks, But this kinda of action will certainly get snowkiting banned from wilderness area's. Its time for snowkiters to start getting organzed and act as "stewards" to ensure a positive relationship between the forest service officials and other political sanctions. _________________ I stretch my wings and pull the strings Sol-flyer Since 21 Mar 2006 1280 Posts Dude, where's my Bus? Otto Mann Fri Jan 30, 09 9:13 am     kitezombie » Thu Jan 29, 2009 12:59 pm Here's the view WildWilderness.org has taken. They probably never heard of snowkiting before this event: http://www.wildwilderness.org/content/view/982/58/ And in the Bend Bulletin: http://www.bendbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.d ... _category= _________________ I stretch my wings and pull the strings Mark Since 20 Jun 2005 3678 Posts I need my fix because I'm a Naishaholic Fri Jan 30, 09 9:38 am     Lets see. Sliding over 10-20' of snowpack while being wind driven is bad how? Wish the Earth first Hippies would focus on something worthwhile. If snowkiting should be banned... then so should snowshoeing, cross country skiing ect. Rant over. _________________ Cleverly disguised as an adult... www.naishkites.com        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page Previous  1, 2, 3, 4, 5  Next Page 3 of 5   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
