Awesome morning down Point Walter yesterday with some great mates 
One of them keen as to try the Dreaded "Deadman 
" after seeing me do one in front of him....
Later he says he gave it a go - but came crashing down headfirst 
I asked if he pulled the stopper right down...
"Err what stopper" 
ha yeah Ive tried the deadman a few times, can never seem to get the stopper in far enough...end up getting dunked head first into the drink!!
makes for a good spectacle from the beach
So I have someone to blame when I die trying it, can you plz tell me what a deadman is?
Do a big jump so you are upside down let go of the bar and extend your hands down towards the water.
To really impress your mates and beach followers try the whole trick unhooked
Good to see crew talking about the old school tricks. The edge and boosting and deadman tricks - aaah, so much better.
ressurection ey! thought that might have been deadman christ air, now that would be cool
" after seeing me do one in front of him....
... ahh, the good old days, I remember 'The Coma' - boosting big, your upside down looking at the water, board touching the lines but one hand on the bar.
Who's crazy enough to try it unhooked with a board off and hang by your feet like a trapeze?
Haha,
Choicey was always a fan of the clapping deadman. To clap hands as many times as possible before grabbing the bar again.
Too funny

I think I have a pic of Darren Marshall doing a deadman in long pants?
In an old kite mag in the shed.
