Sorry to say but that one first found fame here in 2008..

Nice photo all the same. It's appeared a few times since then & the photoshop debate raged.

Here's the original thread.

For those of us that have been around here long enough, have a look at the thread. It's a trip down memory lane!
All the names who used to post.. so many no longer do. I wonder if they still kite?
Some good pics too, 'street jumping' at Melville.. one of when the Helix was new & a classic Fuel Megaloop at the Gorge too!

Gotta love STW's joke from page 4 though

SaveTheWhales said..

If you kite over a whale and pull the move that Marine is doing that's called:
A WHALEY

Then accidentally land on its eye
WHALEY TO BLIND

Then Fall back onto Blowhole
WHALE TO BLIND WITH POP

Ahaahahah. That video.
