wow, never looped the kite or anything, always figured you would need to loop it the whole way down to prevent it from overflying in the window.. |

I dont mean to be a downer, but how is this different from doing the same thing using gear actually made for jumping off of cliffs like what Bambam uses?
Isn't the real incremental risk here the fact that kite boarding gear is not as well designed for this activity, so the greater risk is in a higher potential gear failure rate? |

to me personally it's a stupid stunt made with the wrong gear (and a tragedy waiting to happen), nevertheless the guy is a terrific kiter and a fun person _________________ My pictures of the beautiful PNW
