I was thinking it would be cool to catch a HUGE air, then just kick the board off your feet and let go of the kite completely. It's called a board off, kite off :o

I've been practicing "foot-out landings" for months. I'm now perfecting the "kite-luff" and trying to get it to land on my own head. It's harder than you'd think

I think a 1440 deadman 2x handlepass with a forward kiteloop is one of the coolest moves.

As long as it is followed by a six and one half reverse
somersault with three and a half twists in free position.

my favourite move belongs to one of my mates, forced hindenburg to catch.

he back stalls his old kite, releases it onto the front line safety and it falls out of the sky coming straight down, if wind allows, and he catches it.

heart attack back loop board varial kiteloop to blind was rumoured to have been done earlier this season.
Unless if it was unhooked and powered it was landed wrapped and probably done two years ago.
