I agree

Nerk doesn't need boobies and spinny dangly tricks to get an audience. He just delivers quality footage that makes you feel the stoke..

dingle dangle spinny things are boring after seeing it repeated 20 times in 30 secs...


Also why is it that girls get sponsorship so easy!!!!!!!

I would normally side with the naysayers on this one .Repitative moves on butter flat (maybe mudane to some ,that I have no hope of pullin and that I rarely see and are rarer around here than a big air or god forbid a big air pull up board off with a megaloops to finish) blatant ad for sponsor towards the end ,people doin backflips off rocks .Its a pretty standard formula (and yes i think Nerk and Pheebobofet are in a league of their own and would win a short kitesurf film festival hands down (now there;s an idea).
However i'm OK with the boobies and there was a great wipout were rider got ripped through the air which looked funny and poor unsuspecting downwind rider almost ate a kite .there was a quirkyness about it that set it apart from the usual sponsored drivel that I found appealing. And hey it was windy and people were kiting so i;m giving this one 3 and a half stars
BTW nice avatar you seem to have anice group of friends and a sharp car

Who cares, she is showing a movie that she has made and all that she can do. Well done to her, more girls need to get into the sport, especially the young ones!

Also what does it matter if she only has a small repertoire of tricks, she is still passing the bar etc and its not like they are little tricks. Each rider has their own style.

Anyway nice vid

Haha touche, I clearly did not mean it that way!

I mean here in Adelaide there are no girls that are under 20 (That I know of!) that participate in the sport. Or girls that stick it out.

It's constructive criticism mate, if you don't get criticised you will never improve. If it was a fat bloke posting the vid, I am sure your response would have been a lot different

"clearly did not mean it that way ?" wasn;t clear from here..... Why does it matter anyway? .It seems that South Australian women prefer to get into politics

If it was a fat bloke in this vid I would have more respect for him, for him to be able to throw a railey to blind or even an s-bend, now that would be a site!

My post was not made based on the bikini shots!

Cool. Jeez wish i could session the pond right now,making me feel ill lol, instead dealing with 40 knot+ megastorm.

(You prob know this already but tweak your railey to wrap the opposite way to what you did to wind up the spin - it may seem further to spin but is soooo much easier and is more fluid cos your arm pull spins you much faster)

Yer Nerks movie is sick but not everyone can afford a camera like his or to edit as well as he can. I know u didn't mean to be harsh or anything but if people keep dissing vids like this or just being negative then people are going to stop making movies just because some don't like them. We need more vids like this in the sport for it to progress, if you look at other sports everyone seems to be stoked every time anyone chucks an edit together, no matter what the quality is, why not the same here, if u don't like it just don't click it.

^^^^ Totally agree. Ewan's first vids were not so hot, but they were no doubt valuable stepping-stones to his more recent stuff in which the riding, filming and editing are very slick indeed.

I enjoyed this, and as Float said there was a bit of quirkiness even though some of it was formulaic. To compare a first vid to Nerk's polished art is just silly.

Kaatie, it's a fine first vid. Keep sharing the stoke and the quirkiness and the appreciative audiences will follow.

I reckon it's a cool vid katie, u are ripping it up! Last time I saw u, u were just starting to unhook! These guys dissing your vid probably can't kite as good as u so probably feel a bit threatened. Maybe they can go have a chat with your coach ha ha

Girls get sponsored for different reasons from men and this video shows a good attitude and fun. Sort of thing that might tempt more girls into kiting and Katie can look good in a photoshoot too, so I think its pitched the right way.

Reading threads like this to the end without watching the video is very amusing. The video could have almost anything in it and there would still be haters and supporters. Criticism can be constructive, and even small minded comments can help you spot small minded people.

Now, to watch the video...

That was well done Potter...Good on u that was worth 2mins of my life....Unlike the drivel put up by keyboard heros who never make a vid and probably cant pull your moves on here being judgemental negative caaarnt dos. And the fact you gr8 in a bikini doesnt hurt my eyes either cheers. Creepy Cater.
