Re: Toby in NY Times
my worst nightmare has come true. this should be moved to the worst things in kiteboarding thread.
no clarity on what "freestyle" world championship they are talking about. the non kiter reads this and thinks that Toby is on the top of this wonderful sport instead of featuring somebody that has not pigeonholed himself into the smallest niche of it.

Re: Toby in NY Times
yes, but at least the NY Times didn't let nevin sayre use the article to directly advance his agenda,
though the little extra info boxes appearing to the left of the text slant badly against kiting and give little information about windsurfing...
It's irresponsible to have done no fact checking on this article, even if it is in the sports section of the paper.
The Times aint what it used to be....

Re: Toby in NY Times
Hes getting all "clean cut" and shit.....
One of two things causing this.
1. Trying to cut down on the parasitic drag for the comp
2. There is some hot lady around he is trying to impress
Toby, freestyle eh..... I guess everyone needs a change

Too Funny!Latest quote from Tweak - pkra judge, who's not afraid to speak his mind.
PKRA "Airstyle" - My thoughts.
The thing is this, I don't honestly give a f#ck what people want to do in life. If you want to do something you love, do it. You should do what you want when you want, don't let people hold you back or change your views...
BUT - the moment I have to be involved in something as time wasting and outrageously f#cking ridiculous as this sh#t I have no choice but to hate.
The fact that people can even win money for doing whatever that was today is f#cking laughable. What a joke...
Basically just a bunch of people f#cking around doing stupid one footers and spins... Wasting time when we should be doing real shit, instead of judging racers who joined up for a laugh and a few other has beens that want some sort of chance to win some sort of world title in something kite related...

Re: Toby in NY Times
they clearly made a mistake with freestyle and airstyle...I mailed them, not sure if it reached anyone to change it. I do airstyle, not freestyle and don't want to take any of such credits.
12 riders in main field, due to PKRA limitations...luckily I personally took care that riders like Alvaro and Ariel can join, because they are good at it.
Looks like Saturday we will run the Airstyle Doubles.

Re: Toby in NY Times
So many haters here:-) I think the airstyle tricks are cool and would love to be able to get that kind of time in the air. But I am glad the Times didn't use the toe pointing picture....Toby wrote:they clearly made a mistake with freestyle and airstyle...I mailed them, not sure if it reached anyone to change it.
