hey guys how do u do kung-fu? i looked for some videos but couldnt find any ones to teach me how to do it?

it looks fricken mad lol

buy him a beer and see what comes up...

Well, Usually they have classes at your local community centre.... Dunno why you thought you could learn how to do it on a kiting forum. lol.

^^^How does that teach you kung-fu?... Are you meant to hit your head real hard and forget you dont know how to do it or something?

^^^ No Way!! Really?

He's talking about a real old school trick called a kung fu... from around 2003-2005

Involved sending the kite waaaaay back when you jump, so you swing out to the side like a kung-fu flying kick.

You really need a small C kite to do it - Bow kites just don't work for stuff like this

cheers Rhys =D ,
are u familiar with the salute move aswell? where u turn to the beach and salute like a sailor? that looks mad aswell =D, id love to learn that 2.. looks kinda easy 2 learn

yer a day or two if u learn as quick as SIR ROWDY maybe... for all the average joes like myself pull ups and Generals took me about 2 months each to learn

"Tin mans" are the real deal.. none of this "general" poser crap.

Lou is still the king!

Youtube reckons this is how to do a kung fu air...



...and len10 doing something also apparently called a kung fu air, which at 30+ feet up in the air unhooked is starting to get pretty serious:



...but I agree with the other posters there used to be an old school move (which is therefore much cooler) called the kung fu. I think it was a board off where you kicked both feet forwards kung fu stylee like the pictures below. Please note for this move to be successful the appropriate facial gnarling must be applied, as well as some sort of ninja battle cry.




Unless of course DannyBOyz is a) trolling or b) a massive loser in which case we should definitely create another sub forum for trolls & losers.

PS: lol @ the videos titled "Kung-Fu Girls" (not safe for work)

Kung-fu is the new F-16

F-16's were cool back when Bertrand and Lou etc. were doing them, now every man and his dog are claiming hooked in lunch time circle work are F-16's. Kung-fu was just the lyrics of the song on Ten4 when lou did it... Lou's "kung-Fu" was cool. Now every Tom, Dick and Harry are unhooking sending it back to mid-day- breifly taking a hand off then dangling back down to safety.

Point being that there is a lot of tricks out there that people claim such as S-bends, F-16's, Kung- Fu's etc. which really don't fulfill the criteria.

I am yet to see someone do a proper kung-fu mainly because

1.) They are a short line trick
2.) You need a decent ammount of wind with a slow turning kite (non-existant)
3.) Kiteboarders are pussies
