Sounds like you had a terrific time & WELL DONE - third is third however many people there were - sounds like you earned it & deserved it - looking forward to seeing the pics!

 

Well lets see what the weekend holds in store for us. Cheers for all the kind words guys. Im absolutely buzzing still about the whole thing. Nailing that trick in competition was the highlight of my weekend. Ive only ever seen it done once before in the flesh. That was Shaun over the kitepark about 6 weeks ago. That was the first time he had ever done one too! Being that wired on a kite as small as a 3.5m canopy was an absolutely mental feeling. Seeing the pro riders hold their heads in their hands in shock and the cheer me when i nailed it was i moment i'll never ever forget.
I've done some awesome stuff in my life but this is something else.
I absolutely love it!
Cheers for everyone for supporting me and helping me get this far

 

Well Done mate, hope the competition bug hasn't bitten too deeply.

Couldn't remember what you said a 'double kiteloop' was so looked it up

Could only find it for boarding, but I guess the principle is the same?

Yup Neil thats a double loop.

Now imagine that on land in a buggy

 

My Flexdeck is for sale if anyone is interested.

I paid £80, used it once, wanting £70 for it. All in good condition, black/green deck with good bearings.

 

I know a couple of people that might be interested in the board mate, will contact them and ask.

 

Cheers mate, you know my board. i havent even used it lol.

Hope you're having a good time at the "Ho" Frayz

 

Just back home after an stunning weekend at the Ho!

Not much wind but enough for a few little sessions, lots of drinking and visiting some of the most beautiful coastline locations ive ever seen.

We went quay jumping 35ft up off of a 14th century quay too

Watching the sun go down over the Atlantic with a beer and BBQ with friends and the sillouette of an 8.5m Blade IV in the sky... Heaven in a place on earth!

 

Sounds cool
