You got some competition on the landboard there Carl! :thumbup:

carltb - 14-5-2010 at 06:10 PM

yea i know. gunna meet up with him next week. hes only 18 so hes got that on his side!! lol
if you see this marijn sign him up!! he already flys chargers!!

Can you explain what he is doing with the kite / bar at each step ?

He does this thing that looks different to me ? He seems to pull in / power the kite then go to depowered / full out, a full 1/2 second before he gets yanked in to the stratosphere ?

This is different than I do it? I pull in just about the same time I am ready for take-off ? Let out on my way up?

blade-looks like his pull in then both arms out is unhooking from the chicken loop to get max power .... at least if we are talking about the same parts of the vid

:o :eekdrull: looks pretty good. I liked one trick about 0303 and the ones near the end arround 0358. I kept thinking, maybe I just need his kite.:duh: but, nope I need a he!! of a lot more than that.:lol:

carltb - 15-5-2010 at 09:40 AM

being 18 and fearless helps!!

carltb - 15-5-2010 at 09:47 AM

both of those moves are suprisingly harder then they look. they require a hell of alot of power

Bladerunner - 15-5-2010 at 04:58 PM

He does it a lot between 1:20 and 45 Maybe he is unhooking but I'm not sure ? Maybe just a quirk he has ???

Man if only I could ride like that. Definitely looks like he could go places with those skills. Those foot sliding and board dragging tricks look very impressive. But I'm sure you don't get that good only getting the airtime that I can get out here. Thanks for the post Carl I'm sure you have a few tricks up your sleeve that you could impress him with.

wow!!!

i wanna be young again but with the gear of today.

PHREERIDER - 17-5-2010 at 06:53 AM

unhooked raily's, kite is depowered on the trim, alot whip with this move.. kinda of a edge hard SNAP pop thing. nice skills! ah those young bones!

with waves and chop cool standard move on the water .

really quick crunch to gets the board quickly underneath for the landings

FRESH YOUNG SHOULDERS FOR ALL THE HANDLE PASSES ARE A MUST!

mougl - 19-5-2010 at 02:19 PM

wow....that kid is awesome!

Drewculous - 22-5-2010 at 10:20 AM

dang! skills there!

Look forward to more vids of that guy, hes got a bright future!

Hardrock - 22-5-2010 at 02:59 PM

Yep, up and coming rider only true by his age. Other than that, he's already a pro.
No collage needed.:lol::lol: Just kidding.

Bet that little piece of earth hates to see him setting up.

Thanks for posting Carl

He's unhooking before he jumps.
And yeah, he's sponsored now.
