Watched Bondi Rescue with my wife and 10 year old last night. At the end I mentioned that there was a huge forum thread and that kiters were called "Gays on Trays" 10 year old piped in "I get why they call them Gay but whats with the Trays?". I suppose we could drop the tray bit.
I laugh how the kiting crew jump in to defend there commrades...(KIND OF SWEET)
Look this was a classic KITE MERE and an unfortunate incident and accident highlighting this problem ALL round Australia.........
To state in the first few threads this bloke was very very experienced and its a one of accident and happened because of all this technical bull**** he should have could have but didnt do to prevent this..... ****s me to tears .............
Are you telling me its happened to you also......
His only saviour was he went kiting at a beach with as many first aid people on it as he could find.........
F.O.K.Fs
One thing I learned from that kiting forum is that kite setups are far more complicated than I thought:
WTF?:
After looking at that complicated diagram I'm begining to think that it's no wonder the fag danglers have such bad accidents.
In the time it takes to think;
"I must grab my Center Safety System Red Oh-5hit handle"
They have already hit the wall
I still want to know why Kites carnt operate on 4m strings,
last time i proposed this on the fourm it got TAKEN OFF.
So be it ............
laurie
I really really really didnt want to swear asking my question .........I refute any anti social overtones and attitude problem associated with this line of questioning..........
Its a bit like burn outs and the cops threatening to take your car......
So when you take the v8 out you tend to drive a bit harder and think more about leaving rubber.............This is fictional.
I am feeling a bit inadequate after that diagram. Can we rename some parts to compete with the Oh-sht loop (that sums up most of my attempts) and the locknload donkey dick?
That could be a whole new forum topic in itself
Man I remember attempting to go windsurfing in a gale once. It was so windy my wave board started rolling away along the beach. My mate was pissing himself watching me chase my board across the sand
Kiters like User are such a bunch of toys... duhh, I think I'll just post something on Seabreeze that will make everyone think I'm a total idiot; THAT'LL show 'em...
Much respect to all the regular kiters, as long as they stay the f*ck out of the way when grown folks are on the water!!!!!!!
If this clip is real i reckon the guy at bondi got of easy.
Geeze i hope its real look for the jump at 25 seconds.
on the other hand this is real:
too funny... type kite accident into youtube and be amazed:
this one made me roll on the floor:
I cant see them at the moment but i know the ones your talking about lmfao!!!
Hows Tophat "look look ..There a guy up there!!" What a dude ahahah
And that bloke that goes onto the rocks...laughed so hard i had sore ribs And then he's like... yeah!! fist in the air Bwahahahaha and the way the kite powers up again,pulls him out of the rocks and face plants him phaaarkin funny
kiting is to wavesailing what boogie boarding is to surfing, and what rollerblading is to skating, the easier alternative to a sport you didnt have the skill to do well at in the first place user kook.
Well user the interest we take in kites is because we all like a good belly laugh [}:)]
And why are you posting here if you are so pro kite? Still have a yearning for a pole? To move at speed and do a real jump not a girly boost and wiggle like a worm on a hook.To get real power in your bottom and top turns.....To ride a real board not a concrete screed...But i guess you are part of the "want it now" generation so not much point going on...
BWAHAHAHAHA to you User[}:)][}:)]
