Snowkite Technical Trials VIdeo

I just saw this and it was awesome. Very much like technical trials on a bike. Made my day made me laugh sometimes.

Awesome confidence in handling.

I remember that vid, awesome stuff! Just like you said, immediately reminded me of trials bike riding. The tree segments made me a little nervous, I could just imagine accidently hitting the safety or having your kite go down and no way to relaunch. Def some unconventional snowboarding, I loved the first person perspective.
