Esquire Magazine Does Snowkiting

20 Nov 2006
Details
"Fwoomp. Loop. Zoom. (Splat.)"---sounds like the last time I taught someone to kite... which is basically the jist of Esquire's latest snowkite article. The Restless Man, Bucky McMahon, visited Skyline last spring to get an introduction to our sport. He got much more than a simple kite lesson. McMahon vividly describes his encounter in Fairview, UT... putting into print all the character that we've also discovered in the remote places snowkiting takes us. Click here to visit esquire.com.

20/10 Mini-Review

08 Nov 2006
Details
--- Nov 7th, 2006 ---
Just watched Fuze's new 20/10 DVD. It focuses on four key athletes; Chasta, Remi, James Brown, and Motz... and includes footage of other snowkiters during last year's snowkite season (US). There are some very entertaining bonus sections, especially the snowkite kicker 101 section. Overall an excellent movie that gives equal attention to the high flights and low level newschool techniques.
