MASSIVE BIG AIR - A Gliding Adventure: snow kiters get big air

[sundancer84]

Awesome way to have fun, broke your spine or die...

Really crazy...

[mistertween]

and then, the wind drops suddenly...

[jkiter]

actually, if the wind stops blowing that wouldn't be as bad as suddenly getting gusty,,, also check out floaty big air, that shows what gliders can do in a light (maybe 9 mph) wind

[ThunderTundra1011]

is it a good idea to do this with a foil kite or dose it not matter

[jkiter]

Some riders use foils, but they all have

1. new (or nearly new) equipment

2. lots of snowkiting experience

3, extra safety precautions including paragliding skills

[peaceboy3]

[skryboyd]

looks like pure fun

[xJuiceDoodx]

When they get big air like that is there anything that saves them from falling? Like say a wind came in and blew their kite off the side of a mountain

[brianslotemaker]

@xJuiceDoodx mm not really the kite will slow you down but wil not save you

[xJuiceDoodx]

I mean do they like wear parachutes or something?

[brianslotemaker]

nope not at all..

[shotcalla50]

omg that would be so sweet go to resorts and find the biggest kicker they got and if you feel like not walking to get out of the resorts just like hit the kicker full speed and then just glide all the way to the parking lot haha

[darkhunterso16]

MaX respeCt

[rootbeer9000]

i wanna do that!! along with skydiving, and tiger taming, and dragon slaying, and .....

[jkiter]

They wear harnesses (made specifically for kiting but kinda like a mountain climbing harness)...

and Do not attempt 'big air'. Gliding can be dangerous. Take lessons. Enjoy snowkiting. Stay safe.....

BTW next week we are releasing part one of SNOWKITE MASTERS 2009! More Big Air.. lots and lots of kites... and highlights from races where national champions are named..
