Anything Red Bull pushes the limits till death. Is it us who likes to see extreme? I have hit the water pretty hard but nothing like the potential impact these pro riders could experience. How much risk is there of a fatality at a big air event? Given the height and potential speed of the impacts I...

How many riders achieve their 15 minutes of fame by doing something absolutely retarded/dangerous to get that sponsorship in the first place? Unfortunately this is very true, and it is probably going to take a fatality of a pro rider in a big event to make people realize there is a price to be paid...

So if they throw in a 20% or even a 30% discount there is still room for the dealer to make money - providing their overhead is reasonable. Is that 40-60% after Sales ...

Released a 10m eclipse thruster when hit by a 40 knot squall. Probably one of the best decisions i ever made. Informed the coast guard incase some one reported a kite was washed up. Was also concerned the kite would blow onto land and get wrapped about someone. And? Ever recovered? No i think it mi...
