do even team riders who were in it for last few years still have to buy tikets?

I don't really know as it's my first time going. But I guess they probably gets tickets through their local red bull office?

So it's been quite a few months since Ragnarok - and here in Denmark we're enjoying a (for our standard) great warm summer. but I guess that means winter is coming your way by now?

Anyway I finally had time to finish my video from the Race - sorry for the shakiness - it'll be the last time I film a race using only head cam (And also last time I'm using the crappy sony actioncam AS30).

Oh well hope you at least don't feel like you wasted 5 mins of your life after watching is

Hey MM,

Don't be so hard on your self with the video, I really enjoyed it. Reminds me of some of the light wind sessions on the water.

Had a look at the web link at the end of your vid:

http://powerkiter.dk/kiting/ragnarok/

very interesting read, appreciate you taking the time to write up the event. 40 out of 200 kiters made it to the end. I can understand why you want to go again next year. Would love to give it a burl.

Just looked at some of the previous years videos of this event, looks like the local kiters cleaned it up, so local knowledge plays a big role as you would expect.

Thanks for posting M.

Regards,

Norman

Thanks for the kind words on the video

As you can see it was very light (aside from on top of the ridgde) - the Wind actually picked up the the evening so me and one of the other guys was having fun till the sun was completely gone

Yea I try to write a bit whenever I have something to tell, but usually in Danish as it's much easier for me

The previous year local kiters did clean it up, but this year the light wind and the Ozone Chrono was a game changer. Still snowboarding class was ruled by local guys all the way. And yes local knowledge does make a huge difference

Even without much Wind is was very cool - Red Bull really knows how to put an event together.

But yes more wind would have made it even better - last time they had nuking winds - look up a video from 2012 it was insane :-)
