Haha how did nobody break a bone? I'm going to give a piece of advice here... never hit a rail hooked in. Ever. You're just asking for injury. Unhook and rig onto your safety not suicide.
We had to set it up real close to shore untill the tide went out and we could take it out way further. Cant really tell from the footage but its only about 10m in from the shore. So if we unhooked and dropped the bar the kite would definetly go into the trees. Was good at low tide coz we could take it out way further so it was not sn issue. Of course i ended up landing my kite in a tree even without unhooking. Lol got carried away and landed blind off the end (hooked in blind) and passed the bar forgetting i was still hooked in. Haha definetly rail rookies but it was so fun.
Always gotta be one safety police.... well thanks for the concern anyway. No broken limbs, not even close really. There wasn't really any power in the wind that day and I had to ride my switchy instead of my razor for the extra power. Unhooking on that thing just doesn't work in light winds.
As Glendog said, definately couldn't have done it unhooked on this particular day. It was way too close to shore and couldn't have been any other way due to the tides.
That was my first ever attempt at a rail but I didn't crash after that. That last crash I did was because I completely lost power and decided to bail and take it head on rather than not make the height.
I defs do wanna do it unhooked though, Just need a little more wind for my 11 razor.
Was a lot of fun

Haha I've been riding rails for 9 years and have hit some mega dodgy setups ... I am surely not the safety police. The last clip of whoever going underneath it though looked like they really could have f***ed themselves. Unless you're doing a stall on a guard rail or hitting something that you have to literally send your kite to get on you should always be unhooked on a rail. We were hitting a rail in WA when we could hardly keep our kites in the sky.. it doesn't make a difference whether or not you're hooked in or unhooked power wise you just have to gain speed to ollie either way. I know it's all in good fun and I'm not s**tting on your good time but if you're worried about your kite my advice is 1. unhook and keep your kite higher so it doesn't hit trees or land on the beach 2. don't try to land blind off of it or pass on it
Anyways looks like a fun little rail. Look forward to seeing more from you boys! Hope to be up that way again sooner or later
Was so much fun, in bugger all wind !
Was so light I had my 13m edge up , nice n floaty
Got 1 good ride and also knocked the rail over , can't stop smiling !
Thanks Glendog !

agree with above, you do not want any power when you crash on a rail
Lewl grim learning from you big boy
