2nd that!
watched the film few months ago on the Danish TV, it was available online for some time.
It's much more than the jump! It's few years of consistent progress to get there.
What one doesn't realise when watching the jump video is that the heli deck is shorter than the lines! So he had to basically launch a kite he doesn't see... in sketchy wind. HUGE RESPECT!

Tom Bridge just joined Cabrinha. Tom was a North rider previously I believe. So I guess they brought Tom in as Nick was outgoing... maybe a tradesies?

Kevin Langaree might well have boosted (sorry!) sales of the Pivot.

To me, NJ has always been the biggest inspiration, not because he's the most technical, but because he made the sport fun, casual and uncompetitive. Cabrinha just lost a part of their soul and identity to me.
