Yeah send Sir Rowdy- he definately knows all about good style and whats right from wrong in kiteboarding - or is that wakeboarding?? I dunno either way send him he's an expert on all things power and style.

Or maybe Goon Dog: 'i would rather see someone stomp a back to revert or a front roll with power and style ..."

Thats what we need in cutting edge competition, more back to reverts and front rolls! He'll blitz the competition with moves like that!!

I can't believe Langeree, Hadlow, Lenten etc have been wasting all these years trying double passes, powered kiteloops and other inconceivable moves when they should be working on powered styley front rolls.

You boys are wasted on the forums, you should get out there on the world tour with all that style and power, $30k is good money!! Should be real easy to take it, you just need to throw a coupla big dangly pull-ups, then some powered styley front rolls, sweet..

oh my dear jammin your such a silly billy me and rowdy couldnt judge because we dont no any of the kitestyle lingo triple spin to quadruple handle swap etc..

Hey Steve,

what is the forum coming to??

You put out a genuine offer for an all expenses paid trip to one of the worlds best events in a tropical destination, and most of the responses come from a bunch of dumb-wits commenting on their mis-guided idea of kiteboarding.

Anyways, if they're still looking for a judge, throw my name in the hat.

I'll use hood rat and goondogs judging criteria to bring some credibility to the sport.

"oh my dear jammin your such a silly billy me and rowdy couldnt judge because we dont no any of the kitestyle lingo triple spin to quadruple handle swap etc.."

I'll just slam any rider doin triple spin with quadruple handle swaps, knock em out in the first heat, and put through some newbie kooks doing powered front rolls.

Would be sweet to see the final, we could eliminate Langeree in heat 1 if the best he can come up with is a Kiteloop 7, imagine the final showdown, front rolls and back to reverts going off!! Maybe even some super powered wake-style raileys.

Thats what I call a wakeboarding- I mean kiteboarding competiton.

Bring back the Style and Power!!!

ok. come on you guys you should stop joking now i mean SIR rowdy did write the book on power and style or should i say he re wrote the book cos someone els prob wrote it first and then he just told them what they did wrong.
and he does ride with enough power, style, aggresion and tech difficulty to be the australian champ...just ask his mum

but seriously sir rowdy did catapult send you off to a pkra event once??

and i have met andy and i doubt you are anything like him otherwise you wouldnt be constantly talking the arrogant **** that you do

Rowdy: a quote from you " there is no point trying to convince you otherwise because you are never going to change your minds on anything."

Whats it gonna take to bend your mind to the possibilities of progressive kiteboarding?

Have you watched any recent footage of the PKRA comps? have you seen Andy Yates Hadlow or any other top riders free riding in real life??

If you can't admit that these dudes are riding with power and style then you need to check your definition of power and style. Then add to that technical ability, innovation, dedication and imagination, thats what it takes to make the cut- and the top levels of KITEboarding, this ain't about WAKEboarding you gimp. power and style come in different forms, it doesn't all have to compare to cable or wake to make it credible. We've got our own sport.

Anyway, Damo has asked you twice now if you competed in a PKRA event, if you did, then good on you for putting your very large opinions to the test. How did you go?? I'm guessing the judging was all ****ed, and they were rewarding good technical ability and kiteboarding more than low level styley wake boarding front-rolls. Did you manage to change their mis-guided opinions? show them what real style and power was all about?

Seriously man, how did you do?

In essence I agree with Spacemonkey!

At the moment the PKRA is stuck at which should be rewarded more out of the kitelow Aaron style with grabs and the Keven hard out crazy power with the kite a little higher. They are sooooooooo close it's not funny. 2 completely different styles and incredibly hard to judge.
So Aaron is wakestyle in my oppinion and Kevin is just hard out kitestyle power. This in turn can lead to problems about what the PKRA is about.

Congrats Spacemonkey on your 1600th.. Betya Numnutz is jealous of that..

Reading this arguement is soo frustrating. Jammin' and Damo are trying to attack Goon Dogg and Rowdy by making thier arguement look ridiculous (i.e powered front rolls) when they never actually said that. The problem is wakestyle is poorly represented, most people who claim it are less technical and not that super styled anyway. Select few people like Dre can make it look really good and technical. I think for the wakestyle bracket of this sport this is what we should be aspiring to. The problem about Goon Dogg's and Rowdy's arguement is that they just hate on everything that is in straps, and in the real world their is a lot of powered riding going on in the PKRA. Shouldn't be hating on the equipment, judge the riding for the riding's sake. I ride boots because I find it easier and just makes more sense for me, if a move is powered I don't care if it is in straps or boots

Correctamondo spacemonkey, good to see someone still exists on this forum who isn't a complete noob.
Also i dont hate on everyone in straps, i hate on claimers, and it just so happens that most of the time the people doing the claiming ride straps. You can ride however you like i am friends with tons of people young and old whoo ride just how they like and i am stoked to be able to go have a session with them.
Also you are putting me in the same basket as goon dogg also saying that i am saying the same things, when clearly i am not.


"""Rowdy: a quote from you " there is no point trying to convince you otherwise because you are never going to change your minds on anything."

Nothing i have bent it already, i am trying to proggress the sport right now, i think you might be confused as to what "progressive kiteboarding" is.

""Have you watched any recent footage of the PKRA comps? have you seen Andy Yates Hadlow or any other top riders free riding in real life??""

Of course i have, i have been to comps in australia and seen most of these guys in real life and watched thier vids, from what i have seen of your hero 4 times world champ hadlow, it is clear that he has seen the light and that his view on kitelow and bindings have changed as all of his new stuff seems to revolve around this style of riding, even at pkra level. Have you watched any?? that would be a better question.

hahaha geez get fired up there buddy, go on keep it comming. i love it how you love talking about things i havent even said. priceless.

Wow way to make yourself sound like a complete tool, i know its the pkra and i know what its all about so of course im not going to compete in it while they are focusing on what they are at the moment, its just not my style and i wouldn't go and make a scene.

p.s. Lots of big words from an annonymous account, i bet you drive a pretty sweet car in real life.

sorry dude but yes goon dog did actualy say 'i would rather see someone stomp a back to revert or a front roll with power and style ..."

yeh i did say i would rather see a back to revert or a front but i didnt say it was going to conquer everythign kiteboarding and whole world bow to thier knees. just one trick cant win a comp but power and style and difficulty should be up there and surely a dangly frontmobe looks worse than a powered front to blind?????? correct me if im wrong

no response from goon dog in awhile... where has he gone.. did he travel o.s. to escape the windless winter here in oz... where are u goon dog.. hooowwwwwlllll

ohh the infamous lizzzy.. was waiting for some girl power
