Seabreeze needs more kiteskate. I'm not grown up enough for kitescoop. There's pictures of boobs and stuff over there.

Dude I want to try riding in boots so bad. One day i'll be legit.

Get your mum to buy you a boat.

Get your mum to buy you better bait.

1.40 pretty sure that not a kite pulling him.

Cheers man! I definitely understand where your coming from and would like to (if I have the chance) do a short dvd style gig with the full range of disiplines that can be done behind a kite. That is really what I would like to do.

This vid was kinda made with the purpose of showcasing some of the stuff I can do on a skate behind the kite as there has been little to no footage of most of this stuff done behind a kite before. So you can think of it as the early days of freestyle, pretty boring to most people now, but in the beginning you wanted to watch as much of it as you could.

Also I see kiting as about 5 different sports in one, hence I'm not surprised people don't like this vid, because expecting every kiter to like it would be like expecting a skater to watch/rate a surfing vid or a surfer to watch/like a wakeboarding vid.

Thanks for the feedback,
Alex.

It's switch backside and if you haven't heard it's actually now considered as the future.

Alex,vid was good keep them comming!

I dunno haha, I guess the main idea is freestyle, kickers/sliders, wakeskate, waves. That are the four I would like to focus on. And if it were possible I would like to make a video showcasing the original guys in Australia doing this, finding out what they are doing now, what they like doing now and what they are into (whether that be kiting or not). I'm sure with the mix of people from the early days and other people that I find interesting it would make a pretty cool DVD.
Anyone want to fund this project?

I like your idea of keeping it grass roots. Liked the looking down shot (fish eye?), sound track was a really good match, liked the humour and the kooks, maybe a bit more variation of the actual shots like getting more of the kite (must be hard though)

"That must be your nem... uh, like kryptonite" (classic)

My 2yro daughter hated it...maybe if you swapped the shirt for a Wiggles outfit

Thanks for the post

thanks for posting rowdy, i enjoyed. havent purchased my skate yet but intend to. what was the one u were riding? looked a little small? i am considering the cab eva deck one. i've done short vids half as long as that and i too know the time involved. i like to watch 'street style' (if u could call it that) kiting, jibs etc but agreed with whoever was saying it was a little frame after frame repetitive. i think maybe because it might have been only 2 or 3 locations? wouldnt take much more to mix it up alittle an make better, maybe more footage of a couple other jibs an a couple more angles. creativity behind a camera is an art. -well done overall tho an again thanks for sharing. -keep em coming

By far the best video I've watched in ages.........and those skate sequences are awesome..............music fits so well too. My fav. was the double board spin....simply amazing.

LOL wtf a double board spin!

Obviously rowdy is intoxicated or has become so bored he has had to create another account in the name of "ian" just so he can have an arguement with himself.

Or if this is untrue they should have a kite off in the small cyclone to the north of rowdy/ians location to see who can do the biggest up wind air and flicky spin

NOOOOOOOOO. Please can we just leave it up a while longer, I'm meeeelllllttttttinngggggggg MMMMMEEELLLLLTTTTTTINNNGNGGGGGNGNGJGKHDSFGLKhds/gnvfa.bvnf,mbv

Reading back through my posts it does seem I could have been a bit to harsh and for that I'm sorry. Sorry to Y'all Australians, cause I know a lot of you are decent folk and sorry to sir Rowdy for being as abusive as I was to him.

Sir ROWDY I have been talking to Ben and Ryland and they have vouched for you as being a kinda ok dude and a bit of a comedian. I myself like to get on the American forums and cause a bit of trouble every now and again so I'm sure if we could catch up for that beer one time we would get along pretty well.
I actually feel pretty silly and bad about this whole situation, so I'm gonna put this out there, but if you ever want to come over to Bali and kite Lakey's with me and the rest of the BWS crew I will try and help get you a spot where we stay and see what BWS can do to get you over there. Seriously if you get a chance have a chat with Ben I will fill him in.

I know it's no excuse but a lot of stuff has been going on in my life lately, from rolling boats to rolling to many scoobs. Unfortunetley subsequently Slingshot dropped me and I hit rock bottom and turned to the bottle, thus my only option left was to ride for the company that sells my medicine, BeerWineSpirits.

All the best,
Alex.

Only allowed to be ridden with kites without depower and suicide leashes attached to chicken loops, not 5th lines. Should make for some good video.
