Holy heck load up and pop works on snowskis. Especially a DH race ski because they're so stiff and offer a ton of rebound in addition to being able to hold the edge as long as you want.

I tried a few jumps after my first without throwing the wing back, just edging against the wing to build the pop. Works great, 10' no prob.

I've always sent the kite. It's interesting to do it both ways. Tomorrow should be good to play with it some more.

Glad you landed the big one Kris! I have no doubt the charger could rip you skyward like that.

ha, I've never thought about that before...I'm on a board, but it *must* be cause guys on skiis do unhooked tricks...which means they are using pop. You might have to scale back that ski edge angle to the kite...I'm envisioning a sideways superman if it's pushed to the limit.

I see we are again up against the bug that doesn't let us view page 2, without pressing 'printable version', missed your post Kris on popping with skiis, so my post kinda seems duplicate, and can't get back to edit it. :dunno:

anyway, was practicing some popping yesterday...no doubt, my kite can pop.

Jeepers, there is quite a bit of power that's released during the pop when the timing is even half correct. Things were mediocre until about the 5th one, and i think the timing was right, cause...*way* more power than the others. Cool experience, unfortunately i over rotated and the landing must have been something to behold cause it knocked me pretty good. Good thing for helmets! Good to know the pop is there though.
