Bloody youth. Your progressing sooooo fast. I like your style and being young its great to see you not forcing things and getting injured frequently, watch out Youri Zoon in a couple of years

Managed to play this in class, somehow made a loose tie to "forces" for the physics topic. The students looked a bit bored by the end of it but I didn't care, I love this vid

Reckon I could tie it into my high school mathematics class?? Ideas...they really should study it 4 or 5 times though...just to be sure, maths is all about rigour and repitition right?

Is that because you cant

Great to watch a young bloke pushing the boundaries. I wonder what's next though, whose tired of the handle pass, S bend to blind etc stuff?

YES, but I did make a later post, I had a better look and was really impressed at the end with ewan's versatility and airtime. My theory is height/air time will become a factor again as that is what distinguishes the sport from wakeboarding. I mean the tricks are getting so technical that they aren't really good to look at as a spectator, to us great, but to spectators / media / etc no - and before you get high and mighty, that's what brings in sponsors and money into the sport - the spectacle - a necessary evil it seems. Just watch this space, that's all I'm saying.

More, more please

Rotation (the kids can add up the totals), distance - time graphs, speed - time graphs, height of jump (the head mounted go pro shot?) I aint no maths teacher but can you calculate the height of the jump if you presume the other kite nearby has 25m lines (If u guess the angle of his lines)? Ewan looked about level with the other guys kite. Should be a pretty mean lesson. Better than my bio lesson that involved a Michael Jackson x Debbie Rowe punnett square (presuming MJ is heterozygous for Dark skin and Afro Hair, and each trait is controlled by a single gene).

Exactly i thought the same thing , and can someone tell me the name of the first song

I appreciate how you capture the kite action as well as the board action in the shot, not many people do that.It is well thought out and gives a noob like me great perspective, well done ;) Not that I will be attempting any of those 'tricks' just great to what the kites doing ;P
Good choice of music too ;) (1st song)

Cheers mate i like it almost as much as watching you rip it up

hey for everyone wondering about the song, its 'Blind to you' by Collie Buddz
