Default Some contrast view...

Just wanted to share video from yesterday's session here in Kiev, Ukraine.
Kiting on the snow (on ice in this case) is definitely different - no edge traction whatsoever, no mercy from gravity, mistakes are painfull as hell.
[One guy is being treated with dislocated sholder after yesterday's session.]

Watching the video I realized that "snow" version of kiting is looking pretty inferior to the "water" one.
Tons of fun nevertheless, good vibes, good friends... and vodka does taste good after the session .



I haven't seen sun for two weeks in a row.
God, I miss Florida...
You guys enjoy your paradise, every second of it.

Thanks for posting! An alternative reality from temperate climes across the Atlantic. I hope you see sun again soon! It really sets the snow off. Watch out for those thin snow base wipeouts, sound painful.
