It is a European run contest. French it appears.

Some the other vids that didn't make it are decent. I guess that's is what they get from letting riders votes decide.

I only watched the first part of the ameteur one from the US, but I thought it was pretty good.

Just ignore inept. I think of him like a film critic. It seems his job is just to bash on shit, except he doesn't get paid for it. But like a film critic most people just ignore what he says anyway. Too bad there isn't an ignore button on here Smile

Everyone's a critic. I'm just saying... Here's my opinion, take it or leave it.

Those videos are just a rehash of the same old stuff that's been going on for the last 8 years, I've only been kiting for four summers now. What Inept is saying is we want to see new stuff in the videos, especially from the likes of "pros".

Further, Robby Nash is a business man motivated by money and advertising, nothing wrong with that, but how could you trust his opinion so blindly?

It has nothing to do with who or where the video was produced, we criticize just about every video, even the ones made by ourselves.

4 Summers... Then the "old stuff" should be new to people like you!!!!

I guess that means Susi Mai and all the other Pro's are Motivated by money and Advertising to right?

Or Maybe its just the US only has 1 or 2 contest a year that is worth going to!!!!

Keep criticizing on every video that comes out, it just makes it look like you people from Hood River don't get out much!!!!

haha forrest be patient. We are inept you know. And West Coast 4 Life, I dont really care if you ever come to the gorge again. In fact I think it would be better that you stay home, all those videos are whack, period, point, blank. I dont feel bad saying that this ish is weak at all, step ur games up or quit bitchin. I dont see any new, creative shit in any of these videos of people claimin to be "pro" kiters. I see dangly mobes n shiz in footstraps. I see better more creative riding every day that I kite down at the sandbar.

Anyways, Im sure you people worked hard on these videos, but not hard enough I guess.

Here is some legit eye candy for yall till Nate drops the real ISH.

I don't care what mr. west coast says. Those vids were nothing special and certainly had a youtube esque feel to them. The video quality is rank and the editing (sans the one video)...they are aware that there are powerful editing tools available to the general public aren't they?


If you can honestly say that those vids are better than Adam's Reuban gorge film or Nate's latest installment then your a blivet.

Okay Cpt. Generalization. How about a location of where you're from so I can generalize my ass off about people from where you're from.

Anyway, I don't care, happy Friday.
