[@lucasmilner3162]

not sure about the angels of the kite for Andrea. Can we classify that as a double kite loop or an extreme safety loop?

[@drradicalcris]

try one and let us know

[@lucasmilner3162]

thank you for that pointless reply. Its like you telling me to go drive an f1 car an qualify first, these are extreme athletes. I'm asking a question to the difference in extremity of Lorenzo compared to Andrea@@drradicalcris

@@julianschulzeck8259 how dare you assume my species you bigot😆😆 but seriously table mountains RIGHT THERE they call it big air and theres people flying above em 🤣 and talk about dumbing down the sport for participation trophys it was pretty clear 15 years ago a kiteloop was a kiteloop and a mega loop was when the kite looped BELOW the rider So the dude who was 1 of 3 ? People to throw a proper big pass in the comps history and he didnt get on the podium? If i was judgeing its very simple. Hooked in? Doesnt count!
