-Nice Ad
-Suicide is clipped to chicken loop, not 5th line
-all 5th line kites offer 100% depower in 30 knots, wow.

I disagree Monkey, it's a ****ty ad - the visuals are too small, the copy is too wordy, the copy scrolls in at the end of the sentence, not the start, the visuals are too small.

I like the shapes on the kite though, that looks cool.

Skwinty, if you want help with your advertising, PM me, I have a small agency (Darkhorse) in Perth and we do good stuff.

There you go, and ad for an ad.
Ok Monkey, a bad ad for a bad ad.

Nate is a guy that kites up here in Gero.... I took some of the footage with my new camera.

Nate posted this in the Gear review section.... I thought it was pretty cool - so I posted it here, but obviously not cool enough for some....

I thought he did a pretty good job considering he makes kites for a living not videos....

I wasn't dissing the riding, just saying it was a bit of a blatent advert. Would like to see more riding, just pointing out you claim suicide as 5th line.

Its off the NEW website which is no doubt why it looks like an advert.
Have you watched TV before?.... there is advertising on there sometimes aswell.

I'm sure you'll cope spacemonkey.

The video shows a suicide leash set up.
That can spin around 20 something times.
With 1 single movement, you can open the loop, which releases to a flagging safety, that will self land and stay down in mega wind.

Im not sure if other kites have the same set up for stronger wind days.

This is pretty handy to use in strong winds. I personally launch and land like this a fair bit, cause it's convenient.
You can self launch from that landing position, but someone needs to show you. Maybe I will do another 1 minute self launch variety vid if Skwinty has the time.

Sorry to burn your eyes. That's a horrible suicide crash ad.

An ad showing a kiter getting giddy doing corkscrews on the beach won't sell kites.
lol.
Digging holes on the beach with a twin-tip like you're spading in the garden won't sell kites either.
This How-To vid makes a parody of the sport.
The punters want to see nice colours and cool graphics on your kites.
They want a kitebag with a cooler compartment that can accommodate a 6-pack.

Hot chics in bikinis sells kites.

Turn it off as soon as you realise it's promotional if it worries you that much (it's not as if it's subliminal advertising). I opened the thread because it was named "new gero vid" and I've spent a lot of time up there so was interested. And I liked it. People who can be arsed whinging about a post like this are the sort of freaks who spend too much time on forums and feel the need to read every single thread.

Get over it nerds - the next post is a click away!
