    Frakke, max respect.

    1st in the Northern Hemisphere
    1st on a fixed bridal and handles (double cool rating)

    So much for trying for a small one (3ft)

    Really stoked for you, its different isn't it, full commitment from start to finish (one hand committed to the buggy)

    Your action is spot on, redirect, hand went behind you in a fluid motion, jump, commit and stay out of hospital.

    Impressed

    Luke

    ps. run you through inverted grabs now

    Ta for that .... It's the results of our chat that just came to life

    but like I said with the 4.9m I would finish up with a loop anyway as the kite speed is too quick to catch it - with the bigger kites and a bit less wind kites will be slower and then I might get those kan-kan thingys sorted..

    height - well that's what you get with that wind and that kite - and after a couple of good ones it was "normal"


    thanks to you mate for the encouragement and tips...

    I'm sure marman STILL thinks it's a fake

    Frakke, I'm glad I was there to witness your jumps on Saturday. How is your nose today, any scars?

    OK I can accept that ... the principal is the same but there is a huge difference between that and where in the sky I was...

    when you have that kind of proximity to the ground EVERYTHING is possible... go to 1m or 2m or even 3m off the ground - it's a fekkin looooong way up

    so first with ALL wheels off the ground over 39 inches ???

    Max RESPEST Frakke!!!
    The difference is huge, No offence, I did not mean anything to take any glory off of you
    This hight is massive...even with lapbelt.
    I just thought I showed...the "lapbeltless" jumpers are still just very few in the WORLD.
