Alternatively you can just film yourself smashing yourself in the face with a cricket bat.. just as entertaining and intelligent.

Nup - Eric didn't mean to and didn't repeat the stoopidity until he fkd himself up good n proper.

Eric's took balls to hang on and ride it out Dimitri just took a labotomy and electro shock.

you'd think professionals, and people with stakes in the business would be more sensible and set a better example for the other goose strappers wouldnt you

why bag him so much? yes it was dumb but if he hadnt of crashed everyone would be saying how sick it was. Its athletes like dimitri that are putting there own lifes on the line to push there sports. People said carey hart was mad for trying the first back flip on a dirt bike and look where the sport is now, with out people pushing the limits there will be no progression. I for one give him the credit he deserves for having the balls to even try it.

Actually no.

When that becomes the "sickest trick" in kiting then it's time for us all to give it away because all the kiddies will be busy try to emulate him and in the process getting the sport banned.

PS - Eric got unlucky

"He hit the wall and the wall won", the new clash song.
Thinking of other appropriate soundtracks for dimitri the dumb-ass?

"give me novacaine" Green Day?

Agree with the galah on this.

If he made it every time, I'd still think he was a total tool - and I bought a couple of his company's kites too. Great kites - idiot owner.

Stack or no stack - stoopid is stoopid.

Putting your stoopidity on view for all concerned cause you think it is cool ramps up the stoopidity factor exponentially (sp?).

This reminds me of when I went to the snow and they had this beautiful big transition tabletop jump, then for the comp, they carved out the middle so it was a 'gap' jump (basically instead of having the flat tabletop part it had two ice cliffs and if you didnt make it you smashed into the cliff. )

Sure enough, one guy hit it, broke 10 ribs and spleen, and couldn't wipe his own arse for 6 months....all for the sake of looking cooler.

If this guy is sponsored or owns a brand then he really is retarded, because the purchasers of many kites and boards will be parents and after seeing this sort of madness, they will never buy their kids a kite, ever.

if u've got the balls, hit it up! cred where cred is due, he knew the risks. if we all live wrapped in cotton the world will be a boring place. some like adrenaline, some like safety, another reason we live with a word called 'choice'

Are you for real?.... You think that is "pushing the sport", and you think he is something like Carey Hart? hjahahahaha.
This dude is a joke, any Idiot can do a boost... Except most Idiots don't want to get the sport banned, so they dont boost over houses and hard Objects. Most people are smart enough not to do it.
p.s.
Doing a boost takes little to no skill.

have to admit it does not require any skill to hit things maybe it does require a bit more
to actually make it. Where do you draw the line on deciding what is safe and what is not........no guts no glory
Take up knitting if you like but let others do stunts in a controlled environment I say.

For sure, Im all for letting people do whatever stupid **** they think they can do. but....
When you own a kitesurfing company, you usually don't do stupid things to harm your reputation, your brands reputation or get the sport a bad reputation..... making and releasing this video I would say has ticked off all three.... giving him a rating of, TOOL.

Bring on the house jumping!!! Its the only way to truly progress the sport.

Actually, it was a stunt and he was annoyed when it was released publicly without his permission so before you comment on something, make sure you know the facts or you look like a tool.

Its also easy to comment but I'm guess you've never done anything stupid like trying to jump something, hitting a slider, or doing something in shallow water?
