Sick boosties!! I even liked those 'wakestyle' (rail slide) tricks at the end!!

just another cab rider

railslides at the end are priceless.

smart move would have been to wait another hour or two until the tide started running out. also i want my 4 minutes back, that was horrible, sorry guys.

And??? Sorry but you need to try harder to impress this crowd. Alot of us go out in those conditions and think nothing of it.

average air considering 30 plus ask rattlehead what big air is nice work of the sign slider but that really wasnt big air. maybe get a nine rhino on these days if you want to see the building tops

yep that was survival conditions on Monday ,I rekon a few of those squalls were 40+ ,1st time I've ever kited with 100% depower on for the whole 3 hr session.

I've just switched sports after 15 years, from dirt bikes to kitesurfing, they told me that the kitesurfers were a great bunch of guys, very friendly they said. Well I guess that is partly true and to those who left positive comments I salute you. To the rest of you...well please...come on guys lighten up, no wait...better still post something up so we can all enjoy your videos/pictures.
I might not be Steven Spielberg and not everyone that kites is Kevin Langeree but at least I am having a go.
And to you Dusta....I am looking forward to seeing your next kitesurfing video, failing that, the next time you see a post that says "by Marcus" just don't bother clicking on it. cheers Marcus

sorry but you post a film clip that anyone can produce with little to no editing apart from chopping up some clips. Woopy . You could have at least edited out the wind noise as it was painful . To the idiot with the kite , i just watched the video and i was expecting him to get blown into the trees or slip on the rocks and cause an emergency .

marcus next time please don't speak, put some music over the clip and don't post it on youtube, do it on some other medium that allows you to put what music you want .

If you cannot accept criticism and handle it like a little boy then i suggest http://www.hellokittyonline.com

Do you need me to call you a waambulance?

Its true, I didn't spend hours editing these 2 kitesurfing video but until you can do better than keep your negitive comments yourself. As I said before just don't click on my posts. cheers Marcus

I think its great that someone is out there with a camera collecting evidence.

I just looked at all post from Dusta, you know how many video's I found? none...as I said, at least I'm having a go. If someone came up to you at the beach who had never kited and said you were crap, you would most likely drop them. You've never made a kite video have you Dusta? I've posted over 100 video's of motorbikes on youtube and other forums which have 5 star ratings and have had over 1.3 million views. Its true, I didn't spend hours editing these 2 kitesurfing video but until you can do better than keep your negitive comments yourself. As I said before just don't click on my posts. cheers Marcus

holy smoke 1.4 million hits on youtube . Dood i bow to your greatness. Forgive me for voicing my opinion . I should have known better .

Please accept my apologies and good luck at the bafta's next year with "Tim's Excellent Caloundra Tree adventures "

As for the critics of your clip, dont post them if you dont want criticism. I was too busy working out what the moron with the kite was thinking to worry about the clip.

I see. So people just post their video clips here so the likes of you can criticise them? Got it!

Its interesting though how, by your own admission, the subject matter was so compelling that you didnt care about the technical quality. I think that was the film makers point though. The subject matter was interesting enough to warrant posting here, in spite of the technical lapses.

I think its a great vid, if only because it shows a kook in full flight.

Hmmm, that gives me an idea.....

Now, any other unwritten forum rules I should know about

yeah real safe and what a hero, hellman tim and his epic airs are embarrasing,why show vids of some kook unsafe kiting at many peoples fav spot , just highlights what could have so easily gone wrong and wrecks it for all the responsible safe people that ride here and dont want some hellman ruining it for everyone, lose the idea of the dont think it cant happen to me ,because in those winds and where he launched if some little unforseen thing went wrong he would have been deadman

He's a competent kiter and he can make his own decision about whether a launch is safe or not.

and those are the people that normally get themselves into trouble . If the hellman does get injured doing something stupid like that then please post on here and watch the sympathy fall by the wayside

He knows what he's doing. Only absolute noobs get themselves into trouble off a launch.
