So, Red Bull King of The Air had no Aussie contenders!

Why?

Are we all Hot Air rather than Big Air?

Yeah totally... I mean no one I know in Australia can do a straight jump or a kiteloop, I can see why no Aussies were in the comp, way too hard for us mere mortals.

The prize and a wood trophy isn't really motivating I guess.



Next year I'll make a vid, and i'll get you all to vote for me.

Ill have M- BOP from Hanson or Nickelback as the background music it will be joy!

Or mayb the big air guys in Aus just do it for the personnel STOKE and dont need the badge of honor to feel good about themselves like the boot wearing repetitive maneuver low to the water flickie spinnie sheep.

Can we enter Plummet and claim him as an Aussie (nothing new to us). He'd surly win.

Didn't the Red bull big air clash with the Kitestock big air on the same weekend . Which one is more prestigious?

I'm pretty sure there are only a handful of nutters in any country willing to go out in 45 knots and pull the trigger.
There are certainly 4 or 5 around my area, and they're just the ones i've seen.
NickT comes to mind, he is an excellent ambassador for all winter storm maniacs.
