I saw you do a huge jump yesterday" means "I looked down from my even bigger jump and saw you"

I am going to put together a collection of famous kiting comments both from fellow kiters and spectators from Aus and around the world.

Add your experience and go down in history

Any trick that was preceded by "watch this..." or "let me try that just one last time...", because it usually ends in tears...

'So the knot closest to the kite is depowered, yeah?'
No, it's not, go the furtherest out.
'Are you sure'
Well I have been kiting for a while
'Yeah, but are you sure?'
Look, do whatever the F*** you want
....
Seriously, someone asked me that yesterday, in about 25kn, they were learning on a 12.

Noob kiter: "I reckon I would progress a lot faster by upgrading from 2009 to 2010"

"I reckon I need something with better bottom end"
