going down the hill and then up the jump and your stomach does that awesome thing so you feel it rise to your neck and then you go up in the air and then down and you feel it again. one of the best feelings in the world.
you of course also get the adrenaline rush from jumping high and the satisfaction of nailing a trick.
since i loved jumping with my skis, kiting seemed like a cool activity for the summer, getting huge air. i was a little doubting though cuz you floated down and didn´t drop so i wondered if you´d get the same feeling.
and unfortuneately i was right in my doubts.
now, when you jump with your kite you get pulled up(that´s the first negative thing but not the worst. getting pulled up isn´t the same as getting there "freely"). it´s cool, you think wooooah it´s high, but you don´t feel anything in your stomach and then you go down but you don´t drop down, you glide down and therefore you don´t get the feeling in your stomach of it rising to your neck.
to put it shortly, jumping with skis and snowboards is an adrenaline rush but most of all it´s a awesome feeling in your stomach.
jumping with the kite is just the adrenaline rush...
therefore i do not enjoy it as much.
or am i wrong? when i jump higher and faster or do transitions will i experience that feeling with kites too?
and, i hope you know what i´m talking about.
otherways, sell your kitegear and start skiing or snowboarding...anyone do both thins, what do you prefer? why?
