KITEWORLD ISSUE 17: BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS

Sit down, buckle up, dry those sticky palms and get a good grip…you’re coming in.

We travelled the globe in search of the ultimate in never-before-seen action, and we got it by the sack load. Threats to those involved included the loss of skin, hospitalisation and even death. But these were juxtaposed against lifetime achievements and unbelievable progression, in some of the world’s most exquisite yet dangerous environments. Things will never be the same again.

Issue 17 will come with a government health warning. Please do not copy any of the stunts you will see within the pages of this magazine without substantial training. The riders you will witness are experienced pros… and also a few sarnies short of a picnic.
