Can you please set up two cameras next time....one for the crash in slow mo....the second one to capture the look on your face as you get dragged by....you still rock Carl...glad you're OK :thumbup:

This should be shown for all the posts that ask about jumping before they even own a kite....They would get to see you doing flips and rockin out and then every now and again this is what could happen...then maybe they wouldn't be asking about purchasing a blade 6.0 and then asking "how do I get air".

It's never the fall that hurts.....it's what stops you

What happened? :o

As your signature states: IF YOU AINT CRASHING YOU AINT TRYING!!

Thanks again for all the videos...

everything was going fine until I was about to touch down. boosted from the ramp, got some nice air, through in a grab and looked down at the other camera at the bottom of the ramp, redirected, then a gust hit me and powered me back up and pulled me sideways and off balance, the as the title says splatttt!!! its very rare that I crash whilst out of control of the kite but this happened so fast and the wind gods showed me who was really in charge!!

I expected it to end the way my crashes ( without the big air ) seem to. With one foot still stuck in a strap ! :ticking:
It was fun watching it slow and guessing if it would happen!
