So that is impressive - great kite skills

That could have ended so much worse.....

Sick - I used to go there and stay in that hotel every year in my Commando days, wish kiting had been around back then, wouldve been easier than skiing across the Hardangervidda plateau all the bloody time :)

Either mad or very talented or both. i have 4 kites i'd rather jump off a mountain on before i'd reach for a c4... amusing choice. but none the less it worked for him

didnt expect that kite doing that !
love my 10m c4
just need more skill

i'm pretty sure its a victory or death jump.

If the dump valve opened mid flight would the kite
(1) keep flying
(2) act like a parachute
(3) crumble up and plummet to the ground.

my dump valve would of opened !

I think new Ozones have a screwed dump valve? Not likely to open.

For what its worth, the 2011 c4 had a prob with its valve and kept popping even in normal flight. Met quite a few who complained about.

Not that it matters here as i have a feeling ya man in this vid, knows his gear. I dont think you can pull somink like this off without having an clue.

That was pretty f'in legendary. I liked it when he said he was worried about landing on the lake because the ice was so thin.

What impressed me was their very vigorous and scientific safety measure regarding a potential train arriving. Safety first....lol....

That was the humour I enjoyed in it too eppo

@ vwpete - I heard of slow leaking if sand was trapped in the o-ring but not popping, can't see how a screwed dump valve could "pop".

Anyway, that's a 2012 C4 - No risk whatsoever Credit to him, awesome jump however you look at it.. If it had been me, you'd have been ble to follow the thin brown trail down the mountain...
