Some of you know him already, but Nathaniel is a rider that has taken his newly learned skills and is already progressing fast. check out his new video. Good job man!

he's been riding for a while now, i worked with him a bit at JIBE and he's already so good! I'm hoping he will come to NaBX this year so i have more people to ride with

I remember meeting him at JIBE! I really like the off board back on different board trick!

Looking real good!

If it's the same kite as in the Jibe and other Shoreline Park video, looks to be a Flysurfer Speed 3.

Nathaniel's in San Fran now so you might be able to get him to NABX.

I met Nathaniel in his last year in Gainesville. Flying is about his favorite thing to do. He was going to the beach about every other weekend to catch the low tide. He's definitely logging the time to get some skills.

Nice!

that may look like grass in the video but it really is super hard ground and in some spots gravel. He would probably be better off falling on the playa.

Nice riding!

Hey!
Thanks guys I'm flattered.

I'll definitely be heading out to NABX to get some riding in.

Dino is right, the field is far from perfect, but it is definitely really nice.
I'd prefer the beach any day, there's a ton of gravel, big holes, etc. I'd
much rather fall on beach sand.
On the other hand, it's nice to leave and not have to worry about cleaning my gear.

pbc: Hope you can make it out to NABX next year - I'd be great to ride with you again!
