Jumping a Jaguar Car!

Craig Sparkes - 30-8-2013 at 08:32 AM

Hi All,

Hows it going over the pond?

I've been filming with Jaguar for a promo video for one of their cars jumping one of their cars.

Wind was not ideal but we did get a few jumps without ramp and managed to clear car!

Hope you enjoy the video!

Thanks

Craig

Great video!

What size of kites were you using and what were the wind speeds?

Are the FB kites still the kite of choice for you guys? If so, why not depower?

I've gotten some little jumps on my Blades and Voltage on a landboard. Only about 5 ft, but I would like to go a little higher...maybe around 10ft max. How do you work up to those heights without scarying yourself #@%$#!less?

Looks awesome. But you make the buggy jumping thing look a little too easy !

Sweet video! Did Jaguar give you that vehicle to carry your buggy around with? High class rig for a high flyer! Congrats!

Man, I love that buggy rack! :thumbup:

Hi All,

Cheers for comments on video, was a great shoot and a lot of fun!

The rack is a standard 2 bike rack from Thule. Fits onto towbar and then buggy axle just sits in slots perfectly!

They didn't lend me a Sportbrake but instead a 200K range rover for the time we were in Spain! Shame didn't get to keep either!
