The "Marc Jacobs in Boots" clip reminds me of old Shannon Best footage, and that's a good thing. Similar powerful build being used to maximum advantage. Awesome riding.

But as with the first vid, a generic, saccharine music track when it deserved something with more fun and/or more attitude.

Marc your riding has improved so much dude from when i met you in Egypt on the Young Blood back in 2007.

You are ripping now dude.

Powerzone 2 is where it's at though dojo.

Marc is an insane rider, but that movie is a little bit misleading? The riding clips a squashed down so the tricks look more low and horizontal. Also looks like the clips are speed up slightly? Still sick though

love the sound of the cannonball, anybody done it? any tips

Did any one else notice that a hole load of tricks in the first movie were put in fast foward making it look more powered

Ok, having watched the video closely several times, I'm pretty sure that most of it is both sped up and has had the aspect ratio flattened.

The speed is most noticeable by looking at how quickly the spray falls down. No matter how fast you ride, spray will always fall from a given height at the same rate. It looks pretty clear to me that the spray is returning to the water faster than usual.

On the aspect ratio. The giveaway is during rotations, both on the trampoline and while kiting. When vertical, Marc looks very short and stocky, but when horizontal, all of a sudden he's a bit taller and slimmer. If the aspect ratio was neutral, there would be no change in proportions through a rotation.

The riding is still great, but the effects are definitely enhanced by manipulating the speed and aspect ratio.

my camera sometimes does the same, it depends on how you export it, sometimes it changes the aspect ratio and/or speeds it up a little. Im sure marc wldnt have sped it up, rides so sick anyway.

cool vid from marc

No way have those videos been sped up. Marc rides more powered and with more board speed than what is usually seen on the PKRA circuit.

It has not been that windy this summer, Marc probably trains a lot using a trampoline and parkour. He really should spend summer in WA (although maybe not this year) or South Africa.

Love the Penguin walk, I've never seen that before.

Who are you? His mum?

Sped up or not, The kite is low and the moves are powered...End of story!! This is one of the few clips that amps me up as much as Wainmans earlier stuff!! I wish I had half that energy!
Keep it up Marc!!
