Re: High Pressure kite by Bruno Legaignoux

Best of both worlds is LIQUID ICE = 5 cm water depth. If it´s that shallow, no waves can build up and you can choose each angle you want. See beginning of video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wL4yH2bX8o The only problem here - especially deep downwind in a hurricane - are the extreme lulls and gu...

Re: Lords of Tram - GKA Big Air World Cup 2024

Yeah I'm happy to see Jaime win it. He is a very gifted rider for sure! I have to say, he was killing it with that Evo Dlab too..... (but I'm sure it was the Wipika board that put him over the others! :cool2: ) Maybe it could be quite rewarding to analyse the data: Could it be that Jamie did not on...
