Brasil & Kiteworld

4estbakker — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 03:09:08 +0000

It has been pretty busy for me since the end of summer, lately i have worked a lot on film production and traveling around working on that, after two month of making videos for other people i decided it was time to escape winter and train hard for next season, what a better place then Brazil to finish the year properly… It has been 5 days of good riding and its incredible how there is always wind! Got some new tricks in my bag and can’t wait to show them to all of you, still got 3 more weeks to go so looking ford to come back full of images and work on a new movie.

In the other hand KiteWorld just came out with there new issue and we (Children Of Revolution) are in it! so make sure you grab one in your favorite kite store.

Now gonna sleep and can’t wait to hit the lagoon tomorrow!
Peace!

Fast Forward

4estbakker — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 21:20:47 +0000

Once again I have been a full week waiting for wind to finally compete with flaky conditions and not been able to show, what I have been training for. In the end it does not matter. I am not good enough YET to fight for the podium places in the PKRA and I am not yet strong enough to enter the protected and rewarding PKRA Top 8. That are the ONLY places that are counting.

So, I am taking a break from competing for the remaining of this season. Focussing on learning new tricks in constant conditions, and adding the needed 5′s or even 7′s on the tricks I know. Will make some special movies featuring my sponsor materials and services and to give you all a preview of my progress.

I will be back next season to fight for what really counts.
