I almost gave up so many times , but kept remembering that it could be the only chance I had to ride that feature . It was getting very frustrating , sometimes you work a lot to get everything lined up and the wind doesn ’ t cooperate . That ’ s what makes kite park riding so special . It ’ s never good , until you have an epic day that makes all the other bad ones worth it . That put things into perspective for myself , we were out there far away from contests , tours and judging trying to make something special . All the work you put by finding the location , building the rails , getting the crew together and setting up a feature like that pays off when you come up with photos like this . In the end I only got about three hits on the feature , defiantly not what I was hoping for after waiting for a gust for so long but thats how it is sometimes . We ended up getting one okay shot so I was worth it . Park riding itself is already very hard make happen , when you ’ re trying to get shots like this one where you only have a handful of opportunities
