The impressive thing is that this guy is unhooked.
Overhead higher than massive boost
But kudos!! Awesome pic and I admire the zeal technique wise!! Hard as!!
That's VB MAN, Not VBMAN if that's OK with you Harold.
Oh and those pics are kinda embarrassing, if maybe you could fotoshop in some red on those stars in the first pic the rest of us Aussies would be more comfortable about it.
And then there's the second pic. What is with the whole Hitler, Third Reich helmet and tash sh-t? let alone the fisting aspect of it all, HUH?
The thing is there is no joke here.
Thats what you could do with a kite when depower hadnt been invented.
All nice & cruisey while ur hanging upside-down resting ur head in ur hands BUT
- think about it - you had to come in for a landing at some stage.
SLE kiters just dont get it - understandably.
Old school was hard core.
Raw & untamed power is a thing of the past.
AND....
that was when hitting the (now magical) 50 foot height was when you just started slowing down the ride up.
I recall a day when VB MAN upwinded across to my learning beach at Melville from Peli Pt.
Came at me cutting upwind at a terrifying rate of knots.
Pulled the trigger & waved to me as he sailed a good 1/2 a line length above my canopy.
Then landed it - with another wave backwards at me - at least 4 line lengths downwind of me and still way out in front.
Crowd wowing days.
I guess I will explain it for you guys .... It has nothing to do with the kite having no depower.... And thus remaining powered ....Because even without depower you still had to be hooked in.
The joke was about doing the deadman UNHOOKED with hands on head
I believe the joke about being unhooked relates to the fact he has both hands on his head if he is unhooked what's holding him ......Chicken dick was a clue but Donkey Dick would probably more plausible.
Farq this hilarious. Having a go at each other by showing photos of sick airs you are both doing. A superb dick fight. Honestly I'm impressed with the pictures regardless of the banter and downright jealous.
For God's sake this is absurd.......
VB MAN:
Firstly no one was critical of your post or your pics...
bjw's post " the impressive thing is this guy was unhooked " is the small joke....
obviously you are hooked in, but if you were unhooked what would be holding you up....... the joke is suggesting you are holding on by your appendage ( its actually probably a compliment unless you aspire to be transgender )
bumstein got the joke when he posted " still got a chicken dick in ?? " although "donkey d1ck" may have been more complimentary
You apparently missed the little joke and posted " actually i am hooked " ( no $h1t ) and then went on about your little max power setup like you invented it ( most kites back in the day had this option mine had a sliding stopper that would lock the bar down at full power others had second hooks or loops on the bar )
I merely pointed out " I think you missed the joke " with a friendly wink as it appeared you actually thought people thought you were unhooked.....a little weird
From there for whatever reason you took this as a personal attack and launched into a poorly spelt ( none is with an "e" not "nun" which is a woman who has taken vows committing her life to her religion) comments about my profile pics etc..........( you are obviously very prone to angry outbursts ..perhaps your wife has recently left you, or you have been diagnosed with an STD
I simply replied with a few more pics... no attacks or negative comments
To which you launched into your second attack regarding some supposed Hitler helmet ( never worn a helmet kiting) and a stash yet i dont have a stash i think you will find its a shadow and something weird about fisting....... strange that that word is at the forefront of your mind.
Your good mate puppet then chimed in with his two cents claiming " there is no joke here " obviously he either didnt read the other posts or also missed the joke.. and also spouted stuff about the glory days of older kites.. somehow believing along the way that people doubted what you were saying or that there was some debate over this ..... weird
I then went on to explain the situation simply others get it you did not..... thats ok you are from WA
So there it is hopefully explained for you...
Once more : the joke suggest you are unhooked yet holding the bar with your C0c6 it could be considered a compliment.
Prior to this post Not once have i personally attacked you nor even typed one negative comment about you or your pics... in actual fact I give you credit for keeping the old school freestyle alive and well as I am also a fan......if you didnt notice.
In the meantime try to chill out realise no one is out to get you and work on thoses anger issues maybe go for a kite...
I will refer to page 3 of this thread the next time someone back home asks me if all ozzies got the same sense for humor as customs in Border Security.
harry potter: Do you by any chance got a blond girlfriend?
Apart from the lack of laugh in the 2 first cases this is reminds me about a blond joke...
Q: Why will a blonde laugh at a joke three times?
A: Once when you tell it, once when you tell her the punchline, and once when she gets it.
Oh Harold, that was gold. Did you even sleep last nite?
If you had read Eppo's post first, you may have realised where this thread had gone. It's called piss taking, it's a very Australian thing to do and if you can't handle it then maybe you really should paint them stars red ;)))))))))))))))))))))))
Just trying to help you understand the joke VB MAN assume you've got it now.
Ps: in that last pic you look super queer
Just taking the piss you know lol
Yeah but nowhere near as queer as this.
That's more like it Harry, lighten up a little.
And show us more of your old school stuff but without the TASH Ok
Luv the pics guys and the banter
Hey VB MAN when you jumped the houseboat if you clipped the flag you too could have had a board like Harry's for a moment
Ill try and work on some pics this summer to add
Hey vb man see any crabs up there mate !!
I think that was Harry potter in the house boat, going 'what the **** is he doing? I just don't get it!'
Just a couple of pics for now and hopefully some more later
Both pics 25 to 30 knots , 2008 11m edge
I get it now..
He wasn't hooked in, but as seen in the photo below has a very strong middle leg
