because in comparison to the other sports on fuel, kiting is still a hobby. Fuel is wake, surf, snow, skate, bmx, you get the occasional footage from other sports but those are the sports that fund their network so those are the sports they showcase.
Kiting needs to have an established circuit of events (not course racing) that appeals to crowds and audiences, the pkra and the kpwt are great and truly make kiting a sport in Europe but in the U.S. the mainstream perspective is still misconstrued. I could go on for a while about this, its cool to see what will happen here in the next few years.
