word on the OBX is to steer clear of Dimitri at all times.
Great guy, sick rider but he doesn't seem to watch out for other riders....ie: it's up to YOU to stay out of HIS way.

Yeah I saw that a couple
Yeah I saw that a couple years ago on Spike as well. They seem to recycle a lot of footage from show to show to show. It shouldn't be a knock on Discovery to show te crashes. Their networks put a lot of good shows on TV. Dude is obviously a sick rider, but a dumb ass at the same time. I don't think it hurts our sport at all to show someone get their ass kicked for doing something dumb. No different than watching guys get busted up after taking a monster drop in the back country.
Would be nice to see more people cover Kitesurfing... But its just not that much fun to watch on TV for more than a couple minutes to the general public. Watching guys take helicopters up to drop in on 3000 foot first decents in Alaska definitely makes a better story for HD Theater.
Man, rolling off that roof to the deck below is just a kick in teeth.
