big air with big kites
Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2006 8:54 amAll this no wind and funk wind has me bored and scoping the net.....here's the latest video I've found.
An example of what the Ozone crew is up to at the Point of the Mountain when there is no SNOW. While I can't wait for winter in Utah, the summers aren't so bad.

Its a few minutes long, but enjoyable footage of guys on 19 to 25 meter Ozone kites....the kite with two people is a 44 meter big boy. Umm, oh yeah, these are our original kites, we've since found that smaller wings on longer lines are better for snowkiting, these big wings on short lines keep you in the air too much! Its funny how many sports are born from a single piece of technology. Paragliding, parachuting, powerkiting, Snowkiting, speed flying, basejumping......what then now?
