17 November. New UK record: 21.7m according to Woo device. Amazing considering what he went through in February.

Nice, he's on the right kite to ...

2017 North rebel goes fkn huge.
10m in 25+ is just sensational.

I thought Lewis was dead after the red bull crash, what a legend.

Thats the old standard 50' plus nearly 50%

This was Lewis' 22.3m jump from Tuesday. Mental...

thanks
this is a far more useful view then the other stupid linemount/body cam stuff.

I noticed that he didn't even have to come back past 12 o'clock to get that height. Damn stable kite

I always thought to get the crazy heights you would be looping the kite, if that's the record and he hasn't looped at all, what do you use megaloops to do??
