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.

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 )

Great job! Really well done.

P2 on water?
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?
