That's what jumping ahead is for 
Actually given the aerial and OBE count, I am more put off by the segments without helmets.

Curved side rails, like the Xxtreme ApeXX (the original concept)
you will see at WWBB.

... and the dune riding
not the best way to promote the sport in any country. more on this at BCH, Vliegerforum, GPA, Alienbuggy.
wear a helmet as I cant say the same for some locally here. NAPKA or not, its just common sense.
no helmet - no film

I was kind of wondering about the dunes damaged in filming this video ? Is this common practice? I don't think we would be welcome doing that ?
I have seen a fellow crack his head open being launched and then hitting his head on the back rail / axle in the dunes. Even on sand helmets are a
good idea.
Are you sure this is the image MG wants to present? It caught my attention but not exactly in a good way?

thx to racing numbers we know who it was, but than again its not that hard when most know who the riders are.
GPA, BCH (governing kitesport bodies) took actions quickly (movie has been removed). Each euro beach has different rules and each pilot who uses them
know the rules. things are organized over there for sure, now its our time to shine.
I say the same here too, when visiting other locations know their rules. its their backyard listen to them.
