When did wearing a helmet take away from the "artistic integrity of a video"?? WTF? Who determined that? Who put them in charge to influence future riders?

I understand that in the disclaimer they recommend wearing a helmet. But come on. Practice what you preach!

I felt I went quite easy, actually.

If they really wanted riders to wear helmets, they would portray that in the videos. Seems the only reason for the disclaimer to to avoid lawsuits.

the video is not just about kiting, its about doing something differant with a kiting video, so the artistic content is as important as wearing a helmet, but neither out weighs the other.

im in no rush to move away from my chargers just yet but im going to get a p2 and a fury to fly alongside them.

I rather take offense to this, if riders should wear helmets at all times(AND THEY SHOULD), then they should be wearing helmets in the videos they release.

Being a role model is a full-time job.

It would be artistic, if it was shot in a studio with special effects, digital background and whatnot but when shooting real live footage, one as the moral responsability to give example.

But, nonetheless, the video is great to watch (only thing is I can't imitate those tricks cause I ALWAYS wear my helmet, :D )

i dont want to turn this into a health n safety debate so ill just leave it

magictat - 3-5-2012 at 03:58 PM

...and at 1:10 he does not wash his hands WTF???

Just start the video at 1:50

Great job! Really well done.

P2 on water?

Jason-G - 4-5-2012 at 12:29 PM

Is the new P2 only for land kiting? The PL web site only lists land based activities for the P2. I thought all PL arcs are good for water?

The Ph2 is perfectly suitable for water.:wee:

carltb - 24-5-2012 at 05:56 AM
