I asked the same question and was told, it's a " Kite - Over / Off "

Re: [crumbta] First BASE Trip
Ok, I don't want to sound negative, I'm sure you hade fun and all, but seriously... Very scary kite under, toggle blowing, hand helds with bridal all out and flapping, pca's with full bridal extended, dropping pc's at pca... And then the next vid: my second base trip to Lauterbrunnen :-)
High five to that!

yes, i've never seen that before. also a bonafide "throw&go" in there, right next to the worst kiteunder and sloppiest pca's ever. oh and the rear riser "landing" after one blown toggle was also entertaining, but my favourite was the hand held jump where the teacher inserts the pc in the jumpers hand and continues to hold on to the bridle. wow. might have been on the same jump, can't remember.
all in all a much more entertaining perrine video than expected.

Re: [kege] First BASE Trip
I definitely did throw and then go on my first handheld.

The kite under was different for sure, I wouldn't have known the difference, but not something I am looking to try either.

Lots of opinions, and good ones to hear. Good feedback as well, thanks guys.

yeah, and who was that lantern jawed freak holding his bridle and why did the jumper stall his canopy all the way down into the trees?! 5 stars!
