I strongly disagree last time i did a weighted launch was last Friday Dec 14th... launch #3500 just about...it's the only way i've ever done it
he probably just cut out the boring bits for artistic reasons. when you throw the kite downwind it takes a while for it to travel the 20 meters or so until the lines tension, meanwhile we would be sitting there watching the video going one mississippi two mississippi, three mississippi. so just cut that for more action. Also the kite usually hits the ground once before it bounces up on a drop launch like this. no need to put that in the video. The second cut looks like again for aesthetic reasons, dude obviously can do a jump start on his foil, if you jump to a different point of view makes it look a little bit more exciting also if you start a trick, rewind back 1/2 a second or so and let it go forward again it increases the anticipation of the moment when you hit the water. I've seen stuff like that in Jackie Chan movies. When Jackie Chan hits someone here's what happens, he starts swinging his fist at the bad guy, then about 1 inch before the hit, the film rewinds back 1/2 a second and you see the fist again punching towards him but this time in slow mo, then the film speeds up again right when it hits. It's all about getting a nice looking viddy. For this guy making a great film is the hardest part, doing the tricks has got to be easy.fun2kite wrote: ↑Wed Dec 19, 2018 11:04 amHe is awesome rider! And indeed has absurd skills.
BUT.. Don't kid yourself.. As you see the camera "cuts" both times when he launches the kite and as he jumps in the water. I don't think either one of these actually worked
But he edited it in a way that it looks as it did.
Pullstrings can you describe or post a picture of your sand bag - I'm interested to try it! ThanksPullStrings wrote: ↑Wed Dec 19, 2018 10:19 pmI strongly disagree last time i did a weighted launch was last Friday Dec 14th... launch #3500 just about...it's the only way i've ever done it
