Ruben got 7th overall this year.

Mitchell its funny how Aaron has won the last couple of kite punks events which is voted for by the riders (kite punks was Rubens idea too)

It is just that the go harder and faster does not win PKRA events. Aaron is versatile enough to be able to do both. Check out the PKRA in Tarifa videos and you'll see Aaron pull a Megaloop and 4 kite loops in the same jump (in stupidly strong winds too)

I think Aaron even beat Shinn in the waves at the Chile PKRA (rumour I heard not sure if it is true or not)

Anyway it does not matter who you think is the best or not. It comes down to the fact that Aaron has won the PKRA freestyle World Championship for four years straight, which makes him in the eyes of the PKRA judges the best in the world.

Then again there is the fact as Damo mentioned early that he was effectively cheating by using Flexifoil kites. It does give a huge disadvantage to the other riders ;-)

with a name like bobjaaan i wouldnt open my mouth let alone pay out someone whos correct .

Speaking of Kelly Slater. He's an over rated crap surfer. He stole his moves from wakeboarding too.

Micheal Schumakker was crap and so is Tiger Woods. In fact, anyone who is acknowledged as the best in the world multiple times at their chosen sport by their peers is CRAP because they were influenced by, or borrowed some of their style, from athletes before them.

Credit where credit is due. Aaron won 4 worlds in a row. Who gives a flying fluk if he renamed a move or two. He did it with a kite, not a boat or a cable, so he should be able to call it what he likes.

Sheesh dudes...get over yourselves...its a sport and its fun!

goon dog isn't my mate lol he just realises how silly you sound. certain tricks have different names when done switch thats just how it is, as much as you think they don't exist they do.
switch stance heelside front flip to blind = hasselhoff
switch stance peterose = X-mobe
switch stance crow mobe = skeezer

There are a few for example. im not sure whether they give them a different name because there other name takes so long to say or just because these tricks deserve a new name because it is alot harder to do them switch.

hahahaha dude it's not like they were stealing a trick that someone had already invented and said that it was theres and gave it there own name, they respected who invented it but just clled it something different because it was done switch, or... the trick was landed switch first in some cases and gave it a new name when done from natural.

("""Byerly landed a skeezer before anyone had done a regular crow mobe and that is why it was named. He also did fat chance before there was a slim chance. BCP Mike
Naming a trick is leaving your mark on the sport. Re-naming a trick is mooching in my opinion. As far as the Hasselholf, Horrel named it during the height of baywatch. Like he said, If you can do it, you get all the chicks like Hasselholf..."")

, stupid maybe?? but who are you to judge? did you land these tricks first? if hadlow was the first person to land the trick or he did it first switch i wouldn't have a problem with it but...naming something that has been around for years and has been done way better 1000's of times is just gay, gay like a man d#ck.

p.s. Imagine saying you invented the motorcar after seeing so many of them on the road and then calling it a rollypolly everyone would think you are the biggest d#ckhead in the world and you would probablly get sued. i guess thats why ppl hate hadlow, he brought it opon himself really.

p.p.s. did i ever say they were new tricks? you need to read the posts better, i just said they exist because in the beginning you so rudely told me they didn't and that a slim was the kiting version and that a fatchance was the wakeboarding version, which is completly wrong.

By the way does not matter which way you land one, Still same name.

So my point again, is naming a trick different because you can do it on your unatural lead foot is plainly homosexual.

Your wrong Bobjaan, switch slim chance = fat chance. As for the whole bosch name thingo, it was a joke get over it. I guess it has stuck now though, no big deal. Once again I agree with Rowdy, you land the move first you can call it what you like, if not then you can't make up names.

Heres a question for you rowdy, I skateboard, surf regular and at the start of kiting (first 6 months) I was a lot better on my regular tack. At the spot I learnt at everyone does their jumps/tricks coming on the way in (goofy) so I learnt most of the tricks I can do now on that tack. Now I can do about 30% of my tricks natural and 70% of my tricks goofy. Which tack is my switch tack? I think it's a bit hazy for kiting the whole switch thing... not a big fan.

nice one bobjaan, went out with dignity. i like it.

Exactly what it says. Why rename a trick simply because its done switch? I.e. you complain kiteboarders are gay for renaming, but then by the same standards, wakeboarders are gay because they also rename for no apparent reason

that makes no sense go away

sarcasm is supposed to make sense, and you weren't having a go at me just other multiple world champions.
You still dont make sense..... Scarcasm is still the lowest form of wit

ok. everyone looses in this argument. its settled, go back to talkin about the latest kites. and safety jargon.

lota gays out there then
