Before answering, you better have a look as how Ruben Lenten sees other kites when he jumps.

I was disappointed by the pictures with the go pro in the air as it makes everything look flat and nowhere near as impressive as in real life

I guess if you jump 25 metre high, it is no longer a concern

Thanks for providing a solution to my problem, now I have 2 options:
Jump like Lenten or photo shop

mmmmm

Jump like Lenton involves a powered loop with the kite either below or parallel to your body. Photoshop looks good hey.

I hear the new Best kite is coming out in January 2014 and called the "EXTRACT".
It is going to be one hell of an interesting kite as Ruben has 'fathered' his own Cuben baby lol - designed with an agenda to meet 3 specicifc requirements...

1. Jump huge
2. MegaLoop
3. Turn fast

This will make life exciting as its a 4 line no bridal direct connection and has taken advantage of the Cuben fibre thin leading edge he says 'slices through the window very fast allowing for better dynamics than the standard bigger leading edges...
Its allso beefed up to take a pounding too...

Ive been hoping someone would build a dedicated megaloop kite for a long time now.
I also hope it 'stays' aimed at the 'advanced jumper market' and doesnt go making it cotton wool soft for the wannabees who wont commit to going big anyway...

I wonder how he will go at the next King of Air on it... ?

Some of us still remember the Hellfish.
I'll reserve my judgement until after this kite is in the hands of the regular punters....
