Glad I was there to enjoy it instead of working at home with a sore ankle. Rico, is that you in the 2nd pic? You survive that one alright? Looks awesome. _________________ The Slider Project, LLC Support the cause! http://www.sliderproject.com/ Gman Since 11 Feb 2006 4911 Posts Portland Unstrapped Mon May 26, 08 6:03 pm     Sickness _________________ Go Deep! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eu2pBpQolKE kiteboard117 Since 02 Mar 2005 450 Posts PDX McLovin Mon May 26, 08 6:04 pm     that was the greatest kung-fu the world has ever seen! glad you survived KidCorporate Since 10 Jul 2007 563 Posts Addicted Mon May 26, 08 6:19 pm     Gnarly. I wish I could have been out there. Maybe one of these days it won't be such a drive for me... _________________ Let's go kite. Spike Since 13 May 2007 1414 Posts Alameda Spelling Expert Mon May 26, 08 6:23 pm     in competitions, do you only get a score if you land a trick or do you get points for the trick regardless for the landing or something in between? genek Since 21 Jul 2006 2165 Posts East Po KGB Mon May 26, 08 6:26 pm     I'm pretty sure you only get points if you "land" something. Although certain types of landings can be borderline. After that you get more points for better style and execution as defined by the competition guidelines and interpreted by the judges. _________________ The Slider Project, LLC Support the cause! http://www.sliderproject.com/ Mark Since 20 Jun 2005 3678 Posts I need my fix because I'm a Naishaholic Mon May 26, 08 6:27 pm     Fun in the sun.

I land some, but hope I get some style points. pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6549 Posts Couve / Hood Honored Founder Mon May 26, 08 6:52 pm     Tucker was going off! Kitelooping over the island we were hanging on. Was the most scared I think I have been as a spectator but still awesome. #2 was awesome even if it ended in near death (maybe even more so.) The splash contained as much sand as water. Henry was fine and the photo was sweet (nice job TREV.) Spike you can criticize when you start going for kung-fu's on a lit 7m. Until then stick to spelling. Cheers to everyone else out there today chanson Since 31 Jan 2006 1874 Posts WISCONSIN Chimey Mon May 26, 08 6:54 pm     sick weekend....swell was awesome!!!! Rico, give us a little info on #2....That is killer! Kataku2k3 Since 14 Aug 2005 3753 Posts Los Angeles, CA Videographer Mon May 26, 08 7:10 pm     Insane pics!!! Glad you made it out okay on that one, Henry! Like the depth of field in the last one.

These guys totally set me up. First they hand me a kite so I don't have to rig my own and Tucker lets me try his new board. Then Phil heckles me for about three passes. Trevor pulls out the camera. Right there I should have known I was done for. So I thought I'd just try a little kung fu, unhook, boost, then go to one hand. As soon as I went to one hand the kite started to down loop. I could feel the pull and looked down at the kite and tried to figure out how I was going to get out of this one Last edited by Rico on Mon May 26, 08 7:14 pm; edited 2 times in total CrazyC Since 07 Apr 2007 174 Posts P Town Stoked Mon May 26, 08 7:13 pm     #2 WoW Nice!

That kiteloop is insane! I kited at the spit for about an hour today, but it was so crowded I decided to look elsewhere. I kited at Stevenson for about three hours, just one other dude there for most of the time. The wind was really, really steady. Nice to have that flat spot all to myself. I was practicing jumping and downlooping.        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1, 2  Next Page 1 of 2   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
