a bitcrushed GIF of fisheye action cam footage of kiteboarder Yücel Paralik gliding around above the sea with his sport wing; he's wrestling with his kite to wing to stay aloft as it spins him around chaotically, and it was hard for Hitstun to find a 15-second clip that loops decently well

So he's got to hold on to that bar or he's seriously injured or killed? Damn, it sounded fun until I saw this 😦

Without a landing, this gif is unsatisfying

Yeah, I could see that. I could have used different tools to make a GIF of the entire 1 minute 20 second jump, but it'd have been 4 frames per second. If it was only the landing, it wouldn't have looped well.

He went out there looking for big air. He had to control the wing at all times, but at least he's harnessed into the wing, so he wasn't hanging on for dear life or anything.

Ah he's harnessed in! I thought he was holding his body weight in his hands, but it makes more sense that he would be harnessed in.
