kite jump, 38 seconds

[neoviper100]

good one you need to come to us at flyparaglider.co.uk

[DarkEldChaosTau158]

THAT GOT TO BE AWESOME!

[XXmynameisliamXX]

@explodingthunder why so the kite drops along with you and you snap your legs? never panic when kiting stay calm and thing logically

[daspascool]

I would've pissed my pants so hard a double rainbow would've appeared.

[LegendaryMythril]

well the other video cracked had on this kind of stuff were morons without the gear.

this here is just a guy kite surfing... without the surf part.

[darkhawk123]

Cracked

[GiantDoucheNG]

@darkhawk123 shut up

[TheDamnedOCRemix]

At least this video has better music playing over it than the other kite videos.

Yes, I know there isn't any music. That was my point.

[fn7of9]

This is not a jump!

It is a lift on a rope, anybody stupid enough can do. Dangerous.

[badwolf1998]

@fn7of9 insanely fun aswell

[sowlrebel]

Not Bad for a landkiter ;)

[Eddy19961000]

lol Jetpack :D



[Turkalj]

Wow, that is amazing. I would have let go of that motherfucker as soon as it took me over 15 feet haha. Respect.

[bmx406]

OMG WANT

[msEvolushon]

240p, we meet again

[sutobeni]

dear santa..

[300MUSIC]

that is soo awesome! i want one so bad

[dizzy67]

Professional moron. If the strings snapped he is dead. Bet he goes tombstoning at the weekend.

[rogermyas]

@dizzy67 If your car snapped in half while you were driving it you would be dead too! But I bet you still drive it you fool!

[dizzy67]

@rogermyas True. Why only today I drove past 3 cars that had snapped in half on the M25.

I only hope that when you and your buddies do finally discover the breaking point of tensioned dyneema, it is a quick death and you aren't wasting money in an NHS hospital bed for six months.

[xXDottyBoyMeXx]

In Soviet Russia kites fly you. This needs rocky music in the background.

[maltox522]

facke



[eeemanjam]

get safe and start kite surfing instead, this is just plain death wish

[scoobyfrank]

Spiderman is back

[TheZbeast]

Its also the worst idea you could have with a kite...besides attempting to use it as a parachute while jumping out of a plane

[Axol]

fking scary xD

[XtremeTobi]

I do this every day to watch in neighbor's garden..

[thafubu]

suizid

[jvanewportnews]

I've now got a plan to move far far away...

[MadCampAl]

Bad ass! That's what I want to do. Wow

[figgoagogo]

dope on a rope 

[loeufil]

Cheater....

[stopglobalswarming]

I used to do this with my GI Joes when I was a kid. 

[periwinkleknight]

This isn't a fake video, just not wholly accurate. kite towing like this is a bit closer to parascending than it is to kite jumping.

Sweet!!

[HexedDemon]

that would be hilarious if he couldnt get back down.

[bartone6]

omg where can you jump that safe?

[rick928]

@bartone6 This was at Par beach, Cornwall

[The1243callum]

it would really help /watch?v=8otdrWGzNnY

[MISSnowWolf]

You are Nice :D !!

[MrScreaminseagul]

this is the first time ive seen someone land safely and not get thrown 30 feet across a field.

[rick928]

@MrScreaminseagul Trust me, we have done that as well!

[100flobby]

i make it 31.28957483757 seconds with an error scale of plus or minus 5.7x10^-112 billionths of a microsecond

[rick928]

@100flobby Well if your not going to be accurate then don't bother lol

[MRmbck0643mbe5]

33 seconds correctly

[thelittlestgiant]

I have reoccurring dreams about doing this like every other night. I want to do it SO BAD!

[stofouille]

29 secondes, to be EXACT

[thetenzintsung]

what if the ropes snap

[rick928]

@thetenzintsung If you mean the rope pulling me, nothing. That rope is used to pull me against the wind so to gain great height, if it was to snap you just 'glide' back down to earth (so long as you keep banking the kite left to right etc)

[TebooTedMarshall]

@thetenzintsung then we would have had a brillant laugh together.

[spare1965]

man, thats a long way up, gonna hurt if you come down fast though,quality video

[hjsfkpnjo]

that`s not a jump xD

[XTwittyX]

even if he's tied it's so fuckin' dangerous i think.... even if he is tied he can fall down with high speed, yes?

[MrBlazedup]

Fuck eveyone who baggs you out man.... who cares what it is... towing kiting.... whatever your off tap man this clip ROCKS! and even if ya were tied down... that's hectic as, you got some big KAHUNA'S!!!

[rick928]

@MrBlazedup Thanks dude! Believe it or not, I’m afraid of heights!

[jigmesam]

I'm completely confused as to why everyone's so aggro, it's not a "fake video", it's simply kite towing. Been around for, uh, I dunno, 15 years? It doesn't say it's unassisted, it even says in the doobley-doo that it's "jumping with a difference". Chill people, it's just a cool vid of a guy seriously over-powered, while being tethered. Thumbs up on this comment so others stop being stupid.

[Lesdude86]

@jigmesam Haha ! The Doobley-Doo =P Are you sure that's gonna be a 'thing'? ;)

[timzit16]

Fake you can see the rope at 0:29. Its called kite towing they will pull by rope so you can go higher. Its an easy way to go higher than on your own.

[scotty332003]

Start in UK, end in USA. Cool vid man.

[kriger12345]

thats skill!

[rick928]

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK THIS IS FAKE (YOU'R VERY WRONG) WE HAVE BEEN APPROCHED BY A GERMAN TV COMPANY WHO WANT US TO DO THIS AGAIN. I WILL POST IT ON HERE, IN HD AND SHOWING THE KITE ETC SO THEIR WILL BE NO DOUBT AS TO HOW WE DID IT. If we were going to make a fake video, we would have made it much more interesting!

[aerztefreack]

ohh my god

[SitocawithSorento]

niceceeeeeeeeee

[martiemub]

tethering kills!!!

A-holes...

[rick928]

@martiemub So does crossing the road!

[bazzabug]

@rick928 come on rikkie, sure maybe the people in devon and cornwall find this amazing. Except that I am a kitesurfer. And this is bullsh#t, so fake. Stick to fishing or grinding your big stone tooth.

[rick928]

@bazzabug If you want to think it's fake then that's up to you, no point in wasting my time trying to convince someone who thinks he knows it all!

[gammler2]

fake^^



[lightntasty7]

none of you seem to get that he is tied to a rope on the ground (you can see two guys in the beginning running to pull him up) that's why he's not carried away by the wind and why he can fly this long!

[rick928]

@lightntasty7 Glad someone on here has common sence! You are 100% right, I should know, I'm the one in the air.

[eldunno73]

@lightntasty7 smart lad to have a ground crew!

[MrLaumManiac]

@lightntasty7 no... they are holding him down. How could they lift him up?

[TheJcp1234]

Fall! Fall! Fall! Fall! Fall!

[bazzabug]

FAKE FAKE FAKE

I cant believe you try argue its real, why is there no shot of the kite, when the guy is 300m in the air? Oh its cos its fake, thats why. Just like the 100 other videos of a similar kite jump.

[doodywoodpekker]

@bazzabug this is not fake, their's a rope attached to the dude, that's why he managed to stay up in the air for so long.

[rick928]

@bazzabug Trust me this is NOT fake! I should know as I'm the one in the air. I'm not 300m high as you put it as the rope attached to me is only 80m long. The kite is just out of shot on this video. What would be the point of making a fake video like this, if we were going to fake it we would have done something much more interesting!

[bisnonnocanapa]

@rick928 dont spit bullshit! everyone can see the rope at 0.29, then ITS FAKE! you bitch

[rick928]

@bisnonnocanapa read the top post on here idiot! The rope is how we did it!! If you want to call it fake then that's up to you BITCH

[mauler16]

@bisnonnocanapa lol, you have to realise that your logic doesn't even hold up...how is a rope attached to the ground meant to lift him up? the only reason that would work is if the rope was going upwards. its just a guideline so he doesn't get blown away.

[itsmeordadog]

@mauler16 it doesn't say the rope was tied to the ground... it says it was tied to the kiters harness! The other end nearest to the ground is being held by two guys who were running backwards to give him an extra 5-10mph of wind... ...and so he doesn't blow away.

[bisnonnocanapa]

@mauler16 are you kiddin me? YOUR logic smells cheesy :-) try to hold a kite,make it fly a few,then let go the rods, and the kite will fall down! and as i said, if you look close,you'll see the rope

[kEZzmAn1000]

@bazzabug How the fuck can you think this is fake, why is there no shot of the kite when he is high in the air? BECAUSE THE THE KITE IS PULLING HIM UP, HES NOT GONNA GO HIGH WITH A SLACK LINE, IF YOU WANT PROOF THAT THIS ISNT FAKE THEN WHY DONT YOU GET OFF UR FAT LAZY ASS AND GO FUCKIN BUY A 10M KITE, THEN WE WILL SEE WHO THE FUCK IS THINKIN THINGS LIKE THESE ARE FAKE, THEY ARE NOT, BUT YOUR LIFE IS.

[bazzabug]

@kEZzmAn1000 Looks like you getting a little defensive for a reason. Fake as hell. Youtube really should have a "Delete this fake crap" button so we dont have to watch such poorly made, low quality, fake grade bullsh#t.

[FuzionFrenzyS]

@bazzabug You sir, are a totally retarded troll.

[bazzabug]

@FuzionFrenzyS Maybe, but its still a crappy quality fake video...

[rick928]

@kEZzmAn1000 Well said!

[kEZzmAn1000]

@bazzabug /watch?v=vdgUFKH9rDw

[purokolor]

woooooooooow! 

[sdamarandavrsd]

lol

[xbox360rocksful]

Damn dude how high can you go :D lol

[GRRJayyy]

some would say it sucks cos he's on a rope.... i'd like to see you land that without breaking something from that height

[mvandenhof]

Fucking insane this is! All those freaks come from the UK, RESPECT! Check out my channel for the same shit, only a bit more 'lower to the ground'.

[GRRJayyy]

would be more awesome without a rope but looks fun (:

[harveydog2006]

dont pull the break lines lol what size kite is that as i am looking to start power kiting myself.

[rick928]

@harveydog2006 It's a Blade 10.5

[SchoolOfWindsurfing]

this is a parachute with a line.. why not just go paragliding

[darkbow98]

a done thth with a 8 meet access 2 15 mph winds

[15killsrs]

so where's the jump?

all i c is a guy looping a blade while his mates run back pulling a long rope attached to him?

[DrawASketch]

0:21 = "ITS JESUS!"

[rick928]

@DrawASketch  Close, my wife says I should be naild to a cross!

[DrawASketch]

@rick928 lol :P

[CFLKS411]

@matthew8973 ropes lines whats the difference...and its a kite you use to KITE SURF fucking idiot.

[drumatic86]

dude dude dude you could have died lol

[XXmynameisliamXX]

im 13 and i was out with my flexifoil sting yeesterday and it took me up 4 foot! and its only a 1.2m lol anyways awesome jump i was llike no way is he gunna land tht

[rick928]

@XXmynameisliamXX Thats what I like about a 10.5, it acts a bit like a paracute (with re-directing) on the way down, so softer landing (mostly)

[Maj000000]

so dumb... 

[rick928]

@Maj000000 Are you?

[laatsteman5]

its fake you can see a line @ 0:31 sec. and why does he carry a harnas

[rick928]

@laatsteman5 The line is the whole point! (read the posts) I am being pulled by two mates (watch the beach at the beginning of the video) Its the same principal as paragliding from the back of a boat. Its because of them pulling me that we get such good lift.

[treborly]

whats the sq foot of kite and windspeed? and how much do u weigh

i dont think its fakes. seems real,

[rick928]

@treborly It's a 10.5m blade, the wind speed was about 12mph but with two mates pulling me on a 80m rope (like paragliding) thats how we got such good lift.

[penguin311magic]

That's awesome but... No thanks

[Tony14701]

FAKE



[rick928]

@Tony14701 If we were going to make a fake video we would have made it more interesting! What, do you think we paid hundreds of pounds and hired a massive crane? Or do you think we own expensive editing equipment? Trust me, this is NOT fake, I was the one in the air!

[Emhyr83]

where is the kite?, and what is this line in 0:30

F A K E

[larocque109]

@Emhyr83 its to dont go to high

[bikerdude23]

@Emhyr83 so he dont fly away from the crane lol

[rick928]

@Emhyr83 The kite is high above me in the sky beleive it or not. The line at 0.30 is the one attached to me and being pulled by two mates running down the beach (watch the beach at the beginning and you can see them towing me) that's how we got such good air time ... same as paragliding from a boat.

[MrDanimalicious]

holy shit

[ColdTongan]

that was amazing!

[maciejpiotrowski]

fake



[darkrigh3]

omfg 

[rizlaroly]

i know nothing about kites ... but this guy does keeeeeeeewwwwwwwwllllll

[rick928]

@rizlaroly Thank you, I'm the one in the air - beleive it or not, I'm afraid of heights!

[Traat912]

Holy shit thats unreal!

[vicambulatorious]

you're a certified  lunatic! awesome!

[pyroman13524]

oh damn, my shorts would be full after one of them

[poisongun27]

what kite was he using? how big?

[rick928]

@poisongun27 It was a Blade 10.5m

[poisongun27]

@rick928 Flexifoil Blade 10.5m? Is that a fixed bridle or a depower?

[rick928]

@poisongun27 Fixed

[poisongun27]

@rick928 Holy crap that high with a fixed! He is a madman! :D

[4leafmetal]

:D

that was AWESOME.

how would I go about getting the appropriate line and handles for one of these bad boys?

I purchased a 4m and it only came as is...

just the canopy and the red/blue brake and power lines

I've been dying to use it, please tell me what exactly I might need

thanks

[rick928]

@4leafmetal If your setup is brand new then you will need to 'run it in' in other words, the new lines will strech a bit and you will need to find the right setup for the best flying. We used a 10.5m kite for this and I had a 80m rope attached to the back of me while 2 mates ran down the beach pulling me (you can see them at the beginning of the video) being pulled is how we managed to get such height. Some people frown on this but we don't care. HAVE FUN!

[87Hamburg]

Respect

[rockstarfishy]

holy shit!!

[MrDeltaRuler]

He is attached to a rope, this is just like towing up...

[ThreeMasterMinds]

where did you get your bungee cord from? Ive tried every where but cant find them for sale.

[rick928]

@ThreeMasterMinds It's just a 80m rope (15mm diameter) I think we got ours from B&Q

[ralphbow3]

if this is real awesome

[rick928]

@ralphbow3 I can assure you it is real! If we was going to fake it then we would have made it much more interesting.

[TheDylan408]

now thats power kiteing!!!! i have a 19 second jump under my belt .. but this is just raw. props bigtime man!!

[samboy160580]

awesome!!!

[barunr6]

next time show the kite to prove it!

[barunr6]

yea next time show the kite to prove it!

[pebbles1726]

did he died?

[rick928]

@pebbles1726 Lol, no I'm still alive

[aschlegga]

hahahah!!^^awesome!!!

why did leonardo da vinci not discover this possibility to fly?^^

[steviepowerr]

cool and not fake, it's just balls for making the kite do that, I've been lifted up about 8m once and I tried to take it down at that height but i found out later I shouldn't... just do like this guy did and wait for getting down!

[bazzabug]

FAKE FAKE FAKE he is flying the kite towards the camera and yet gets blown away further from the camera, which is in effect going against the principle direction of gust.

Dont talk rubbish, SO FAKE

[bazzabug]

So how hard is the wind blowing. Because the grass blades are hardly moving, the ocean has NO sea horses and the day is as calm as ever.

You cannot bullshit a bullshitter, fake fake fake...

[rick928]

@bazzabug When you have 2 guys pulling you on the end of a 80m rope you don't need ANY wind! Watch the video again but this time watch the beach and you will see my mates towing me. Also near the end you can see the rope attached to me. trust me, this is NOT fake, what would be the point? Do you think we hired a massive crane or spent shit loads of money on editing equipment?

[iAW3S0ME]

"ow that guy? Ye he always is like that, just hanging around"

lol

[bazzabug]

so fake

[rick928]

@bazzabug If we were going to make a fake video we would have made it more interesting!!

[rcfreak2493]

ok this might sound like a stupid question but i have a 4 slingshot and im lookin for alot more power. i wanna jump ad high and long as possible. now would a pansh ace 8m or 12m be better for kit jumping? obviously the 12m has more power but im wondering if the speed differences in the kites would make a difference in that you need the perfect balance of speed and power. which one should i get for the biggest jumps?

[rick928]

@rcfreak2493 Without question, the 12m! The bigger the kite the more lift but it will also act like a paracute on the way down. In other words, you come down slower (and softer!) Re-directing the kite all the time gives you the best lift and softer landings. Again, using a bigger kite means that re-directing is slower giving you more time to think and best of all ....more time to enjoy the 'flight' I was towed on this video(10m Blade) but I get huge jumps on my own (with the right wind)

[rcfreak2493]

@rick928 alright great thanks man!

[judgementalfish]

That was pretty epic but the safety line totally kills the lunacy :D

[1neji2]

there is a red rope!!

[thacatlin]

Wow that is really awesome! I shit my pants just watching you man, thats very high up!

[accout001]

Holy Fuck

[maverick129]

This isn't real... You can see the two guys running into the wind pulling him with a rope... then at 0.39 you actually see the red rope they used. This enables him to go up but not downwind losing the power in the kite.

[Erwan934]

It is what as kite that he(it) had the guy

[rundlej15]

This looks sorta fake.. I'm gunna have to call BS on this haa

[matthei1996]

where is the kite?

[Oster131]

@matthei1996 above him???
