Yes, he is 6th fastest in the world. He's been to Ivanpah and is hoping to make it to IBB next year. It's awesome to watch him fly. It's hard to comprehend the maneuvers he and Stephan do with too much kite in too much wind while going too fast. :thumbup:

I thought I liked to fly overpowered... that looks like high teens or low 20s wind and at least an 8m kite... Jeez that looks fun. I know what I am working towards. Maybe not the jumping, because spinal compression injuries scare me, but that overpowered spinning around looks like a ton of fun. Good way to burn the ribs off some beach racers

Wheeeeee!

Where is that huge wide area....?
.. in the Netherlands somewhere..? Is he riding at 'below sea level'?

You screw up w/ hard landing and you mess up an expensive buggy. You gotta float it down.

I think he should go Evil Knievel and jump over some vehicles w/ kite buggy.:P

Nice viddy.

Watching that forward and back wobble of the buggy in that first jump, he's gotta be wearing a seatbelt.

If you guys aren't familiar with it, check out the kite freaks channel on Vimeo... All kiting vids... Mostly kitesurfing, but there's ATB and buggy stuff mixed in... I always add my stuff to the group.
