Official Guiness world record for the highest kite jump not possible to use a WOO / PIQ

[kjorn]

If I can find the right footage I’m super close of becoming the first person that has the Official Guiness world record for the highest kite jump! It won’t be easy as they are super strict with criteria it’s not possible to use a WOO / PIQ.

If they are 100% reliable it should be valid for GBoR.

Few years ago I had a device and my highest jump was 60 m high...but I guess today's devices are more reliable.

But I guess Guiness also required a video of the jump as proof?

jump - at apex flick your board above your head violently when landing - land hard splat your board down

this will show you what a bit load of $h1T these devices are

How can u trust an accellerometer..? its a toy

[joriws]

Only way to be sure of height is to use Tachymeter. Those are used in track and field to verify that in pole vault the bar is at certain height. And how long did you long jump or throw javelin.

For jump you need to know Tachymeter height from sea level. Then by aiming Tachymeter with laser to jumper you get distance and angle which can be calculated to jumper height from sea level at distance. The problem is to where to aim and following aim point while flying with accuracy. But that is the only way to know for sure how high the jump really was.

Exactly.. At the moment all sensor are expensive toys..

Set a Peter-Lynn Venom on 30M lines with small flags on the lines every 5m ; it will
just stay there at zenith ,as long as the wind blows, and the jumpers can fly past it
to measure there height.

Do you know that they use inertial guidance systems in ICBMs with ridiculous accuracy.. since 60s?

The problem is it's hard to trust a closed device with unknown spec, verifiable calibration history, etc..
But using accelerometers is probably most reliable approach for this task.. And this is why all 4-5 brands, producing the devices went this route..

Accellerometer can misure jump with approx of 10cm...)) hahahahahahahaha its a new toy they make for make Money thanku to People Who have ego problem

[kiterocky]
