Have these guys never had a line break when they're riding on water? That snow doesn't look particularly soft.

if that Cabs on 25m lines, then I'm guessing he's well over 50m up

that's 'do a little poo' territory

yeah that's pretty crazy, but he's probably on a hill so the perspective might be a bit out?



Bit of updraft assistance here

He is way high for sure but it looks like the lens is distorting the perspective as well.

Imagine down looping from that height. I have seen them do it, balls of steel.

That Len10 video off the mountain. He's recorded it off his helmet. Any links to that clip as well please? That would have given me a hard one doing it myself! As Darth Vader once said - "... most impressive"... hhhoooahhhhh

If he has a bar end come off, which has happened to me = one dead dude.

Don't go out further than you can swim, and, don't go up further than you can drop? Fark. Hope he's got good gear.

Got a buddy that does some of this crazy sh it. He uses 800kg breaking strain line and a reserve shoot.

Mind you that guy looks like he doesn't have a reserve on.

I've seen 40m discussed as a minimum deployment height for a reserve CHUTE. The G-man can chime in.

i know those guys also use a climbing harness as reserve for the spreader bar. They must have Dakine harnesses...

I snowkite a bit in the winter here. Know a bunch of norwegian guys that do this, using the up-draught from the mountain face and get mega high and hang there for ages. From what I know its all on standard lines and bars, crazy bastards.

should be "Wowza is that a *cloud* down there"



I think a chute might be useful for this one.
