 Wed Sep 29, 10 12:11 pm Strapless airs with shoes and forward thinking |
 |

The POV cams will either give your head a spin or stoke you up, but the strapless riding in this video pretty forward thinking.
Nice 360 air strapless (3:30) and check the piercing of the wave (2:50)...duck diving with a kite?!

Yeah 3:48 for example I can see how the pressure holding the skate to his left foot is holding the skate to his right foot  Yeah fucking right I think if you watch it a couple times you will suspect screwed in hinges Well maybe just the camera angle

Well I know it is possible to press a wakeskate behind a boat/ski - but on a kite? never seen it like that in the video - maybe it is a camera trick?
The placement of the feet doesn't look possible - maybe Airush Dave can sound in here?

I'm stunned to hear that this is still considered 'forward thinking'.
News flash: Although these moves are tricky and such, they've been done many times before in many kite videos.
I would highly recommend the following kite movie especially at the 4:40 point with Mitu riding a strapless SURFBOARD in FLATWATER. This is truly 'forward thinking'.

Just my two cents.

I think that 360 air, and the backroll launch off the lip pictured below (must be a loop), are not in many strapless videos at all.
These left coast riders seem to be creative and you don't always see that in kite videos. That recent Ben Wilson and Ian Alldredge strapless air video has no airs like these in it, for example. Mitu's riding is great to watch too. Agree with you there.
