You need to cut fast...with landings it is just too long.

We had to do the same with my Airstyle promo videos...and some people complained that I din't land those tricks...well, on the Airstyle DVD I show all 666 tricks and all its different clips for it with landings!
666 different tricks, hows that possible? ...and that's without unhooked stuff right?

Sijandy - ha ha as in... Lets see the 'Kite' being ripped across the window, turned looped - so we can see if there is distortion and how well it recovers... Not the dangler below it. Or just have a split picture. Ive bought various brand kites that are promoted/pimped (same thing) just to find its a piece of crap and sold it straight away !!!!!!

it is possible.
and way more if you add mega loops, switch, blind etc.
hooked riding has the biggest potential! time to get it going!

for all your dislike of wake stuff you need to recognize 1 thing - there are tons of videos being streamlined showing the stoke, the style, the rider and the brand.

For waves we got TDZ and small bits of other guys

For airstyle we got?...

Not much on race as well, but here is not about the style but who ever arrives first

Here's a loop for you . . . I reckon that counts as a landing too :D

Fair enough... may have to have a look at this dvd then. As long as it's not 666 different ways of taking a board off, not so keen on that... to my mind theres only one real board off and thats at the end of the session.

Toby...just curious why you chose to stop at 666 tricks? Any meaning behind the number?

Read about the 666 here: http://www.airstyle.tv/why-666-tricks/

I know that there are tons of videos of the other styles, which is great. But, now you know why I did the Airstyle DVD...exactly because of that! Something was missing, which is about the main stoke of this sport: the jumping! I am just making aware that there is so much more possible. And even way more than that!
