Kiwi bro Hugo doing a warm up jump before his heat 35.2m... at the Lord of Trams.
Stopped the Comp in its tracks - as everyone got 'Noobed out' like the first time we ever saw kiteboarding.

It's time they included a pure 'No Trick' highest jump category... the technology is already here and certainly be a crowd puller.

The German paraglider reached a mind-boggling height of 9946 m, almost the cruising altitude of an airliner!

the highest a glider has flown to is
76,124 ft.
As of September 2018, the record is 76,124 ft. To put that in perspective it's above the 'ceiling' of the high altitude U2 spy plane. The record was set in a special glider called Perlan 2. This is now funded by Airbus industries.

thats 23,000 meters .....


anyways nice kite jump but all kite jumps are dwarfs





now if it was unhooked it would be kiteing
