Default kiteloops!

not sure the guys names out at EB on Tuesday riding the switchblades.. but them's some great looking kiteloops!!!..

there's a few more people every time I go out that are pushing the levels around here to new heights..

here's a quick video of Len10.. raw footage, unedited, no added sound.. still absolutely mind boggling how he can pull this off this consistently..

again.... the level of skill is taking leaps and bounds .. a lot of tricks being thrown at EB yesterday.. Scott hitting huge unhooked rolls.. bunch of guys hitting kiteloops easily in the 15 foot range.. a large number of female riders kicking ass..

but we all have to admit that getting to watch Jay go off all afternoon was pretty freakin epic. powered downloop to flat 360! sick sick sick. f-16s to blind! guy can kiteloop/transition like no other..

Yeah Jay and others looked great. I have been sick all week so I was mainly just mowing the lawn. Thx for the props, though.

I was just thinking yesterday that soon we will reach critical mass here with the new riders and talent, and that St. Pete has the capability of pumping out some serious talent with some younger riders in the near future. (U.S. wise anyway... I think it's unlikely any city will match some talent coming out of DR, Europe, etc.)

Billy is pretty open to sharing ideas as are Matt, Mike etc. So, it's not rocket science, the new kids should benefit and get good .
When I played racquetball, 5 of the top ten players all come out of one small club in Daytona. It was because they all pushed each other hard. It's one reason I moved there for a couple years, too.
I think this will happen locally, although I plan on watching it, not participating at my age (oh well).
