Good point Eagle. Also, if there is such scrutiny on towups, why aren't people giving these snow kiters a hard time? These guys loop the kite off of cliffs so I am told from a guy I met from Utah (He is the one who sold me the 25.5 Machine)!!! Where is the difference there and in the water? They are all taking calculated risks and are aware of it... The snow kiters can fall to jagged exposed rocks and have just some powder before hitting the rest of the ground if they fall...
I think Jay and Bill are definitely paving the way for a new way of expanding the sport. It may be dangerous, but like I said...they are aware of the risks that they are taking and choose to move forward. I, for one think they are taking the necessary precautions and are doing it as safe as possible...
I'm with Bryan though, only been here less than a year and am content cruising and jumping...for now!!! But I've gotta say that I do love watching them push the limits!!! 8)
