i think jay and billy have got that guy beat for sure.

weird how they are on the exact same jetski as Bill's.
The only difference is that they were tied onto the towrope. I learned from neil's mishap that that is a BAD BAD BAD idea. Not every towup goes smoothly so its nice to be able to let go at 15-20 feet and try again.
if the guy driving the ski isn't clued in he can overstress your gear and THAT is what causes failures.... and serious injury.
Their brass balls must be bigger than mine..... or else their medula oblongata is smaller.

I am not so sure about that Josh.

That guy is Amery, The best Kiter in the Gorge.

Oh I see crossbows can be used for towups as well! :lol: :D :o

tru tru

yeah, jay was saying he likes using flat kites during tow ups.

Jay - Using those big med terms.... but don't you mean Cerebral Cortex.
The medulla oblongata controls breathing and such not crazy thinking. :) just a thought......

you guys must be freaken wind drunk
 

that was one of the gnarleyest things I've seen.
to tell you the truth one of the locals here in nassau was asking me to tow them with my jetski,due to masive liability and being freaked out by his girl I decided not to do it.
aj

I have seen both Billy and Jay do towups and I'd put my money on them any day of the week...I agree, that locked in stuff is just plain stoopid, the guy in the gorge may be a great kiter but he obviously learned very little from Neil's misfortune!!!

Towups + being locked in = stupidity + possible injury or death!!!

Just remember, when one line breaks, the other one does too.

There are definitely those that feel the need to push the envelope more than others...

Its pretty damn amazing what you guys do on a tow up...
Personally I'm one of those guys just damn happy to be riding and doing my little jumps and hoping to be able to throw in some sweet spins very soon.

What happens 10 years from now? Will that not be enough to be fun for me? Never know.

Watching the Autofocus dvd.. all the guys have the attitude that they must push the boundaries more and more..

I can envision a dvd dedicated to towups ... tho to the casual onlooker it might just be more like parasailing...
