I just found out that the ISAF has put kite racing one the schedule for 2016 Olympics!!! That is seriously awesome!! I am so very excited about that. Sadly I am a Kite buggy person so I was hoping that kite buggy sprint would be there. It is really great that one of heck of an awesome sport is getting admission. I am really sad that it is not buggy, I am ranked 5 in Canada so IF it was buggy () I would have had a REAL shot to go to the olympics. DANG.
In case you are interested I picked three fav kite vids for you.

I know a few freestyle guys they are VERY prone to accidents and booboos... if you are starting buggy heck kiting this takes TONS of experience before you start trying this stuff... the kite in this video is nicknamed 'The Widowmaker'
