This one time I did a board-off, and it so high that it turned into a MEGABOARD-OFF. Stoked

1:30 and I was bored.... Keep pushin' it the way you want to....Charl, the music was as gay as the 3 foot high tricks, in gay wind......
Lenten and Hadlow rock, as well as Youri Zoon and of course Andy. Go Hard in 25-30.... Charl, I thoght you were from WA, pity....

He was meerly pointing to the 1 kiteloop that Ben did in the video, not the whole video you fool.

F*** you serious? I been trying to do that for ages, but I can only master the Ultra-Jesus walk to blind wrapped boschmosis mega shifty 3 spin.

Its a different trick... and takes a totally different set of skills to do it. A loop is a loop.
By your own theorising it would be like calling a really big pete-rose a Ultra-rose... which is just stupid, so stop trying to dig your way out of the situation you have now got yourself into and give up.

If someone throws a backroll off a doubleup and gets twice as high as they normally do off the wake, do they call it a megaroll?

Steezy

Can you guys help me name my lastest move? Its a regular front roll, but I was wearing a hat.

Was it filmed with a wide angle lens?

How the **** would I know? Go ask him yourself.

p.s. Toeside raley with an Indy is called a Batwing... I don't think wakeboarders are any less stupid in naming things (i never said they weren't) but just because they do stupid sh!t doesn't mean we should do even Stupider sh!t...

Only kiteboarders would take another boardsport trick done with horizontal pull (or no pull at all) and call it the same when done dangling off a kite.
Its no where near the same as evidenced by watching Hadlow wakeboard or cable.
That is why wake style riders hate other kiters claiming tricks when half the trick is done hanging from the kite. It makes the sport look fake and lame to other boardsport cuz they do their tricks with no verticall pull and they think they would be easy to do if i could hang off the kite like that..

Hooked in grabs off pop are about as boring as watching a skateboarder ollie off a gutter.

Calling it a megaloop is silly because its a just a big hooked in kiteloop (done on a 7m)
If Hadlow starts doin them on full size kites and unhooked the whole time that is more worthy of the megaloop name but even then its still just a kiteloop, and its all been done before.

on a side note: Ben Foote, doing that downloop frontblind 7 attempt, that was a fkn powered loop.

Wouldn't you just call it a downloop? Maybe the extra backroll in the kiteloop makes it a megaloop?

Does it really matter though? Who cares if it's a megaloop or a kiteloop. I've gotta say if someone says that there were people throwing down megaloops i'm thinking that they're doing big f*#k off kiteloops in alot of wind instead of airy fairy loops that don't have any pull and stay at 12 through the entire loop. I think it just defines the difference between the two.

That downloop was hectic though, not sure if he meant to throw it into that second spin but it was a damn ballsy effort. I'd like to see more of the old style loops like this but at the end of the day they ruin your knees. I can still hardly walk after kiting from blowing my knee out doing downloops 5-6 years ago. It's fun at the time but not worth it in the long run.

For the record it was a kiteloop not a downloop i crashed in Cairns on the vid :)

yer he was meant to spin the 7, go look later in the vid there is another one.

but im pointing out look at the crazy pull he gets, that would have to fit the definition of this "mega" loop but it is still just a kiteloop. I'd much rather watch crazy sh!t like that but i guess for some reason people just assume it's not as good because he's not as high in the air.

I know what you mean about the knees, i blew mine out doing stupid loops aswell and took me off the water for nearly 8months, it's not worth it for a trick that was pretty easy to learn.

So you're claiming a new trick now? .......Stupid loops?

How are they different from kiteloops and megaloops?

Who did you name that after?

Rowdy's mum?.....no they are fruit loops

I just wanted to respond to this lame ass thread, But in the end , I had Nothing hater-enough to add.

I luv big air... you go guys! I luv all of 'em...I even got the Len10 harness....

And if Hads brings out a wetty with over shorts, I'll buy that too...

I'm so cool...
