... my rib(s) and cartilage aren't connected at this time so I have a couple days off anyway. Makes a nice popping sound when I walk though..
Vicodin, only you understand me.

Rollo - I think you've gone for too many Bertrand Fleury style kiteloops like the one pictured below (not Bertrand btw.)

| That's a badass pic! Haven't seen it before. What's the line dangling though? Didn't wave grenade, right? ...'cause it doesn't have a leader.

Maybe its the kite end of the fifth line. Naish kites come with a 10-15' line from the kite that you attach your fifth line to. Sometimes they are alittle long and "dangle".

| I saw that pic on kiteforum. It hink he was flying really short lines to do the kiteloops and either had the 5th disconnected or just hanging off because it was too long.

Oh shit Mark, I think you're right! Didn't even think about that being an '06 Oneline leader...

Hey guys, the SS kiteloop pix is of Hamish MacDonald at the Nissan Velocity Games. He uses short lines (I think 15m, may 20 at the most) and the dangling line is the 5th line, which Hamish doesn't use. Hamish is trying to perfect a true loop where he basically goes under the kite... similar to aerial paragliding when they loop the kite. If anybody can do it, he can....

I was at a spot, location is a secret, at about that time. A little bit crazy wind for kite loops, none the less a good time. Some others lost board and broke lines, but no vehicle breakins.
