Thanks Sandy. Impressive height. Can anyone figure out what the jump is at 2:36? It looks like a backloop/air tack...

nice vid SB!
if you only posted the youtube link we wouldnt have to visit Kiteforum.
:lol:

4j beat me to it!

you would think though with all the shadowbox technology someone might have noticed the winning back loop was sick high but not really a back loop. :shock: :twisted:

I'm not sure what it's called 4j but it looks like a back loop followed by a forward.

That's Boujmaa Guillol doing a Dark Flip followed by a clew first back loop. Both rotations go through the eye of the wind. Called the "Blackshot" I think.

WOW

Unbelievable! These guys are insane!!! Did I see this!?! Boujmaa Guillou was up 62 feet in the air and landed! I use to windsurf from age 9 to 16, this may put me right back at her!!! I've see good vids before, but 62 freakin feet!!! WOW!
