so that's what it's supposed to look like. I wish I could see the whole thing in slow motion to understand about hooked in or not, handle passes, and transitions. One time he actually turned the handle loose, turned around and caught it in the air. I wish these videos showed more with the kite and the rider at the same time. I'm trying to learn more about what to do with the kite instead of being impressed with the rider. It looks like he is getting 30 feet or more off the water with a floaty landing. That would be quite cool to pull off.

If you take out the twists and turns, how achievable is the jumping?

Beamer there is tons of DVDs how to kite with kite and rider in same shoot,just search the market. This clip is just a promo of new kite and I think they did superb job on that.It also promote rider as it was an interview with Hadlow.

the jumping is the easiest part with these kites, unfortunately your current quiver will not be giving you that kind of jumping though and if they did it would definitely not be safe and controllable :)... if you move to depowerables or kitesurfing kites, go out in over 20mph and you'll be flying all over the place! height is easy, it's doing stuff other than #@%$#! yourself when you're up there, that's what takes balls and time :) of which hadlow has massive amounts of both! :)
