1st at the KitePunk’s
I just come from the award for the RedBull KitePunk’s, it just got announced that I won!!! Stoked. Ruben was second which was cool and then also to his surprise Neal, fellow England mate, came third which was well good to see. Today we had another day of good wind, we reset the obstacles for better viewing and then hit the water around 4:00, once the wind had set in. Mostly I hit the wall ride and flat bar but I also hit the smaller kicker as well, these were all close together so it made it easy to just go around in circles sliding each piece. Today I finally got my 900 along and off the wall ride, that was the highlight but I also got some pretty smooth back side 360’s over the flat bar, my kite may have well been in the water, that was sweet. So yeah, that was pretty much it, the event was sick, thanks to everyone involved, I think everyone had one of the most fun trips here this week.
Hey there Aaron,
Just testing the comments box, please let me know if you receive this via email also.
Well done at the KitePunks event, just letting you know that you can now upload images to your website.
I would suggest however that you restrict them to 275px w x 175px h.
Laters
hey dude. I saw the movies of kitepunk event, pretty sick !!!
I just heard that cesar portas left the event, because redbull didn’t want to show him on the video.
To bad, because he is one of the very stylish guys, like you or ruben, and it would have been even sicker if he had been a part of it…
I just hope this kind of sponsorship influencewon’t slow the sport down, or prevent good riders frome getting the recognition they deserve.
I hope you will do whatever you can so that it doesn’t happen in the future.
oh by the way : you rock. I wish I would be 1% as good as you are.
Hey Ben,
Great that you liked the KitePunks’s movie, the obstacles were sick.
As for Ceasar, the event was invite only. He turned up and hit the sliders but maybe wasn’t out at the right time.
We had a few filming sessions and if I remember he wasn’t out.
He wasn’t just ignored he just done his own thing. Maybe RedBull had limited footage of him or didn’t film as he had no rash vest.
I’m sure he’ll get what ever recognition he deserves at this PKRA event here Venezuela.
I don’t think RedBull are slowing our sport, I think they are one company who really back us as riders.
Thanks for the comment and hope this clears things up.
Go for it man, I’m sure you are few percent better than you think
Cheers for your time,
Aaron
