That was great guys! Really good control to be able to get that close filming. I don't know much about tricks, but whatever he threw down at 2:21 was bad ass!  |

Awesome riding and great to see and new film angle. At first I thought you had a helmet cam and I'm thinking that guy is going to get his nose slashed off!
Yeah! Nice work!  |

2nd this. The film "angle"....aka Alex....places you right in the action. Reminds me of Lenten's Rufus video with EY following on the jetski. So much better than a go-pro attached to a kite or board, which can make me nauseous after 20 seconds of viewing.
Mas JP por favor. |

Agree. Alex deserves props for the filming of this. How did he keep the camera so steady while following?

Great riding/ sweet video! Nice work boyz! Love the follow-cam.
Better than some of the industry videos I've seen recently. |

Alright Im ready to take some flak for this but needs to be said IMO.
Thats some pretty good riding from both involved......when in control. As we know, there are things we dont have control over. There were several shots (and those are just the ones in the video) where a crash from the rider would have meant certain impact from the cameraman. An upwind jetski is completely different from a following kiter.
Other kiters were close by and the sliders and kickers were right by. What would happen if the two impacted, caused a deathloop and then into the downwind recreational kiters?
With all do respect, sometimes we need to look out for the more experienced kiters then the newbs.

ya know sometimes stuff happens. but the risk reward for both of us was worth it. we keep a chill level head. and dont think about what could go wrong but know and do. we put our selfs in harms way to promote and grow the sport we love. it is an extreme sport. and downwind by the obstacles you need to know the risk factor is much higher. I check my gear... I train to take a beating and stay aware upside down and back wards.
thanks for the concern with out that energy there would be no safe.

Krazed.......you asked for it. What if....what if....what if. I bet your kids have never tasted water from a garden hose either.
Do you realize 150 people die every year by falling coconuts. True story. In your neck of the woods it's probably far more dangerous to be watching the John and Alex show from the beach than riding next to it. |

Did I miss something in the video? Pretty sure I did not see any other kiters in danger or even in the same vicinity during the filming. I personally watch Perry ride all the time and it is his and Alex's personal choice regarding their own safety. I have never seen either put other kiters at risk... ever.
You are from Florida? I have a simple question. Do you like turtles? |
