"killedthewind" are proud to preset a new video, which has Hadlow riding and many others in different locations and is an in-your-face, rapid-fire blast into the spirit of kiting.
What is unusual about it is the multiple camera angles (goPro, kitecams, pov cams, HD cams, RED cam) and the unusual riding: terrific strapless airs and unnamed strapless tricks, handplants on kickers with inverted kiteloops, water-blasting presses, sliders viewed from overhead, timelapses, standing-beach-kiteloop-head-over-heels starts and more.
