Not impressed at all. First off a Jesus walk is on water thats why it is called a Jesus walk. Your running across the beach until you do basically a front roll land start.

Sorry I'm calling spade here.

I think it looks cool. But agree the term jesus walk is incorrect.

The Jesus Walk was developed on water, but if you transfer the same technique on land you are still technically performing a Jesus Walk.
I think you all know what I think about this style. It's the most sophisticated thing we got in kiteboarding and I'm thankful to Toby and God we have it around!
Besides, if you invent something you get to call it whatever you want. You invent something!

Oh, and try it! You might find it harder to land than a mobe or a megaloop!!!

Probably have wider appeal if you go non denominational and call it the save your walk to front roll.

No, technically you're not. Land supports your weight, water doesn't and therefore needs kite control so entirely different. Otherwise every time you launch and head to the water you're doing a Jesus walk.

Technically exactly the same.
Only difference is the power you control with the bar. On water a bit more and land a bit less.

I don't care if I impress anyone or not, that is your problem.
All I want is to inspire and push Airstyle further.

Do what you like and no need to comment if you don't like.
Only if you like, otherwise it just sounds dumb.

More tricks to come ;-)

PS: giving it special names I will not remember what kind of trick it is. I have too many.

Was really just a fun pun. Not particularly negative, but you can be sensitive if you like and ban me again.

walking on the beach not much of a miracle - was that the same day he turned five loaves into 30 sandwiches?
