Just when you thought you'd seen it all

Ever seen that happen?


pokitetrash - 13-12-2011 at 07:33 PM

So what was it? I can't really tell. Did the kite power up and rip out of her hands or did someone cross her lines?

B-Roc - 13-12-2011 at 07:54 PM

I can't figure it out either. The kite makes such a weird sound, it appears to explode open in the power zone and tear it from her hands but its real low in the window to do that.

At 0:21, she has completed her bunny jump and the lines have gone slack. So slack, that she is able to run back with her arms swinging back and forth. Basically the kite is left to fend for itself. The kite falls into the powerzone and fully powers up, ripping the the handles out of her grasp.

:no:

No kite killers, even though fliers and blokart are downwind of her. No helmet, pads or gloves even though it is a dirt field, with a healthy dose of rocks and gravel. Made my knees hurt just to watch.

Some days you just need to say no and throttle back on the peroxide dosage. :rolleyes:

Glad I wasn't the only one ... kiter chicks are hot :yes:

Agree with Sam's read on what happened. I've actually had similiar things happen. Though, not with fixed bridle kites. Was playing around with one of my depower kites in low wind, did a little hop, went too far forward under the kite, it went slack, and as I was backpeddling to get tension on the lines, a gust hit... Granted it didnt yank out of my hands, but took me for a ride... Fun stuff.

There's always one guy who can't keep from sticking his head out of the moonroof of the limo when driving by the beach.

Never knew how to wax a snowboard....now that I have watched the video for a dozen times, I think I got it half down.....somehow I have a hard time staying focused...

Now how do I get that chick to do a video for me about winding up your kite lines?

If I had to guess I would say the female reaction to the thread veer would go something like:

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: "You're all so very 12 years olds"

Not that I have ever received that look. :rolleyes:

Ack, it's like "how many things are wrong in this situation" time!

Glad nobody got seriously injured there! At least the video-poster says "Tried to warn them, they didn't take my advice, this is the result"

Kamikuza - 18-12-2011 at 01:36 AM

:lol: harness might be a good start ...!
