URIs to Ping

The following services will automatically be pinged/notified when you publish normal or future timestamped posts. Not when you edit previously published posts, as WordPress does by default.

This plugin also fixes an issue with the default extended ping programming in Wordpress and pre-2.1 versions of Smart Update Pinger (it now includes the url of the new post).

NB: this list is synchronized with the original update services list.

Separate multiple service URIs with line breaks:

Ping log

These are the last 100 actions performed by the plugin. In reverse chronological order for easier reading (latest ping first).

\u201cOnce word went out and the sport started to blow, that\u2019s when Red Bull approached us with doing an event and that\u2019s when we came up with the name \u2018King of the Air\u2019 and it stuck because at that time it was all about getting big air and the wow factor” \u00a0-Joe Keuhi<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The first Red Bull King of the Air competition was held at\u00a0Ho\u2019okipa in Maui around year 2000 and at that time there were only a number of kiters who joined. It was still part of kite surfing’s experimental stage where in everything was so new, unexplored and yet to be tested. As the years progressed so did the equipment and the number of followers. Now kite surfing is considered the fastest growing water sport with 1.5million surfers and counting.<\/p>\n

2015 can’t come any faster -at least that’s what kiters all over the world are thinking. Red Bull’s King of the Air<\/a><\/span> competition is coming up and we’re all excited! It’s South Africa’s biggest kite competition where 24 \u00a0kiters \u00a0(top 12 from the previous year and the other 12 from video submissions -8 of which will be picked according to online rankings and 4 from coming from the event committee) compete for the title. It will be held at Cape Town, Big Bay, Blouberg on Jan. 31 to Feb. 15, 2015 and all you need to do is upload a minute long video of you doing some sick air moves.

Last year’s jump records were<\/span>:<\/p>\n

1. Tom Hebert \u2013 25.04m<\/p>\n

2. Andris Fourie \u2013 23.33m<\/p>\n

3. Kevin Langeree \u2013 21.55m<\/p>\n

4. Jerrie Van De Kop \u2013 21.41m<\/p>\n

5. Billy Parker \u2013 20.22m<\/p>\n

6. Reno Romeo \u2013 18.89m<\/p>\n

8. Jesse Richman \u2013 17.83m<\/p>\n

9. Gianni Aragno \u2013 17.58m<\/p>\n

10. Graham Howes \u2013 17.30m<\/p>\n

Final Result<\/span>:<\/p>\n

1. Kevin Langeree<\/a><\/span> (NED)<\/p>\n

Although not everything is fun and games. Extreme sports have their risks and with the added pressure of competing against other kiters. There have been some incidents and one of the more popular one is when Tom Herbert came down too hard from a big jump (at least 25meters in the air) and crashed. In an interview with North Kiteboarding<\/a><\/span> he said “I arrived late to the kicker which put me off balance straight away. At 25 meters high and mid rotation I saw that my kite was pointing down towards the water. I lost all orientation and had very little control. I tried to correct it and get it right but it was too late.”. According to African Extreme<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>there were other two rumoured injuries, one by Jessie Richman (King of the Air 2013) who was said to have had anything from a torn ACL to a bad fracture, the other one would be Oswald Smith, and this would be more of a rumour than anything, was said to have had difficulties moving his head to either side. Accidents and injuries are a part of it all, especially when you want to achieve something great.<\/p>\n
