Best shot in the video is ruben's Kiteloop 3 where he grabs indy after the handlepass. (he holds that shit so long) Thats the kind of stuff this sport needs more of. nice riding ruban.....and thanks for making kiteboarding look so good.
That video and especially Ruben express the main thing kitesurfing is about=> the great awsome feeling of freedom, while riding or being lift up high. Every kitesurfer knows, what I m talking about and appreciates Ruben's style coz of this strong expression and the way he rides.After having watched this vid every kitesurfer thinks: " Damn WTF am I doing here in front of the screen, why am I not ridin right now?!"
I did most of the filming at the Rufus ponds (and all of the follow cam from the ski while Amery was driving). Amery shot the big loop day and Shy did the slider stuff at Hood River! -Adam
I remember when I used to watch this in the beginning of my kiting 15 years ago. At that time I couldnt even grasp what was going on and I was simply impressed. This stuff is still pretty good, but compared to today's freestyle the unhooked tricks are just the basics. Still a lot of style and power!
You got that right man, I have this video in my bookmarks and anytime someone asks me about kiteboarding I fire them off the link to this video!!! It brings chills!!
FUELs are the most "hardcore" kite in Slingshot's line, meaning they have the least amount of depower, etc. Not saying it's impossible to learn on a FUEL (as a lot of us, including myself did back in the day), but I can almost guarantee that you'll progress faster if you started on a hybrid or bow (REV, T2, or T3). In the end, if you're looking for something a little more forgiving then a FUEL, with a tad more freestyle than the REV, the new RPM may work for ya! :-)
I'm about the same weight (145) and got by riding REVs last season (7/9/11) here in the Gorge. Being that you're talking a bit lighter winds most of the time, if you stick with SS, I'd go with a REV 11, RPM 12, or FUEL 13. They all should have pretty comparable lowend and are what I'd be riding in that sort of wind.
Yea im gonna ask a question about the song, what is the name of the song used for the FIRST 24 SECONDS? (dont answer me with "uhhh requim for a dream" because that starts at 25 seconds in).. plz some1?
These things are just a big tease of a paraglider. I got one of these back in the day than realized i wanted to fly so got a paraglider and sold that after 2 yrs and getting it out of my system cuz its too dangerous
The wetsuits by mystic are Horrible. Ive bought 2 of them and both of them have already ripped. They are comfy but man, if its not a waste of money i dont know what is.
I remember when that thing came out…and it still blows my mind. Perfect Balance of Power and technique. Thanks Ruben! Living legend
