Respect and all, but did North hire a group of epileptics and ask them to squeeze as many spins and arm flails as possible into each jump? So probably no respect in hindsight.....

I'm old school JB, and prefer the grace of a massive 540 then the moves I've just seen. I think we all need to take a deep breath 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - aaaaahh - and just relax on the water.

Unleash the sledging.

that was good but ...
this is better!

they are good but every move is done like a pullup.

Awesome vid. They are such good riders.

Like a pullup......ermmm. that means the kite is at 12. Pretty sure Marc did a mobe with his kite shown in the background. Angle of about 20 degrees off the horizontal. This is a pullup??

I remember little Marc as a 11 year old hanging out every day at the beach. Even then he had an amazing ability to learn very quickly in our crappy local gusty conditions.

Then he got bigger and better, and he and the Bright boys seemed to learn mobes overnight, I suspect over in New Caledonia. Now he's on the international scene his kiting has jumped yet another notch.

Good on him, I wish I had that sort of flexibility plus I doubt my knees and shoulders could handle that sort of stuff anymore.

Awesomeeeee


JB pssssssssssst..... when are they getting here

psssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst

ssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

Umm few nice moves, but on the whole,

too many double handlepasses with the kite at twelve, and no sense of steeze (or style). A very North-esque video...
