thanks! Very Happy that is impressive!

still though. that probably could have been executed on any typical kite. looks like a 1080 with a loop on the second rotation. used a wave as a kicker too.

its hard to tell just how high he went since the horizon is out of frame during the peak of his jump.

looks like he went in for an F16 and bit off more than he could handle.

was that an s-bend in there too?

and an enema to finish it...

Exactly. I can go buy a KX250 and still not triple or borrow Ruben's Fuel and still not loop it. It ain't the kite...it's the rider.
