I just wanted to post a big shout out to Airush Australia’s newest Team Ridder Simon Wichtermann who is in New Cal about to compete in his first PKRA event!
Good luck, represent for the rest of the WA and OZZY Crew but most of all have fun dude!!!
Here is a quick update that Simon sent me last night.
First day of competition single elimination. My first heat was not so good was up agents a local rider Galliont. I was on my 9m it was fairly gusty but managed to get through I was stoked after that I was pumped and was riding well. Ended up having to verse Alex Pastor. I had a sweet heat was lots of fun. I almost stuck a clean kite loop front mob at the end of the heat but it was not enough to beat Alex. So I finished 9th in the freestyle singles
here some sweet pic http://prokitetour.com/event-photos.php?id=97&Day=1
(a bit harsh coming up against Alex Pastor in your second ever PKRA heat but way to go anyway dude! Doing Woodys proud)
Nice one Simon. I'd say that's a hell of a good result. What's next?
Nice pic form Toby as well.
thanks guys. I did the kite loop comp to day after the long distance race
did a Massive kite loop front mob look out for a vid to night or tomorrow 
hahahaha rad, bye bye knees. I'm gonna take a pretty good punt here and say that was a no land, would love to see the sequence/ video though. Always fun seeing people go big and wipe out.
p.s. Good luck Simon! See you at Gold Coast.
Good on you Simon.
Its so good to see young fellas chasing their dreams.
Your doing us all proud.
F@ck yeah Simon! the footage was way better than the photo! That is what a kiteloop is meant to be like! I wanna see the so called "megaloopers" doing stuff like that, not dangling circle 2.0.
p.s. Hows the dude that won... Just did a big old boost 2.0
They should have given it to Simon for actually putting something on the line. Simon for the win!
Simon gettin BUCK!
All other vids are boring. I love the "go big" attitude, most people would have be pulled out of the water in a stretcher after that landing.
Hey Simon, take care and get back home in one piece please.
Ha the winner is a kid from New Cal - go figure!
Swich, respect - that was sick. Keep going big and you'll always be the danger man. You'll have the euros scared sh11tless...if that is, they ever understand what solid kiting should be.
Wow dude. That wipeout is epic. Looks like you were representing WA really well man.
I got knocked out of the doubles yesterday so that leaves me in 17th plays in the PKRA New Caledonia
