Quad Cities Landkiting

Postby kitekid21 » Tue May 01, 2012 5:55 am

I had a lot of jumps that were much better than these, but my friends who were filming were either not at the location yet or just didn't get them. It's my first video, so constructive criticism is appreciated and riding tips are appreciated as well. :)

Not that I know of. I work at a rowing boathouse on the Mississippi part-time and the winds swirl and are so gusty down by the water that it would be extremely difficult, especially since I'm a beginner for water.
