Thanks for the comment. I was the one in the air, what a rush!

He's attached to a rope. This is no kite jump, just being lifted up like so many other "jump" videos. You might as well just call it parasailing.

Not only that, but he has two friends running along the beach pulling the rope that he is attached to, in order to get him airborn. This is fake. Not fake in the fact that he is in the air, but it's a fake jump with fake wind and no high danger.

I'm the one in the air and I'm scared of heights, but that didn't bother me, was a great feeling!

Respect, you gotta have a couple balls to pull this off. Yes, he's got a tether; I don't care- awesome show!

insane flight! love it :)

hey did not no that was you guys brighton extreeam is one of the best vids on u tube and to be honest the reason i baught my blade 1v 4.9 around 2 years ago is after gettin blown away by your vid. just starting to kitesurf now keep it up guys

that was amazing!

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!

As he drops, he moves forward,( same principal as running with the kite when there is no wind) thus keeping the cells inflated, cells stay inflated while coming down ......= DOES NOT DIE!! IF IT'S NOT DANGEROUS, IT'S NOT FUN. Ps, I'm the one in the air!

thats so cool!!!

woooooooooow!

That was sick!!!

Whoa, you must have clenched those handles like never before. That was scary!

I am the one in the air, what a rush!! Can go much higher yet :) F*ck the rules, live life!

that was totally nuts mate .. well done

Pretty insane. I was confused at how you were doing that until I noticed the tether. Props either way.

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

Defo tethered. Still looks like fun though.

that is amaziiiing!!!!!

holy shit.!!! And thanks for not playing music. You rock!!

You have a strong chord/rope about 2' long that is attached each end to each handle and you simply hook it into your spreader bar. Some people like to use a pully wheel on the spreader bar but I find it easier to use without.

Cracked

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

There is no minimum or max. It depends on how big the kite is (and what sort) and how strong the wind is too. Most 'kiters' will have at least 3 different kites. Our kites range from 3m to 17m. But you are right, we are nuts! We do a dangerous sport and then manage to find a way of making it more dangerous lol

@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!

I have had dreams of this happening to me my entire life. I jump, thinking I will only jump like a foot, but then i just keep going up like im being pulled by a kite, then I fall slowly back and always wake up before I hit. Weird shit to see this. You're insane man lol Looks funt hough

SERIOUSLY I have the same dreams as a kid, I have no idea why, I always held on for dear life and it always landed, in my dreams looked a lot like the red one this kid is holding onto. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fGuLsryffLO6dqQ.html

I use to have the same dream when I was younger.. then I started lucid dreaming and now all I do is fly. If I'm having a scary dream I just fly so nobody can get me. It's crazy cuz in real life I'm afraid of heights but when I'm dreaming I love it cuz I know I can't die

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

Just do it. Buy a beginner kite and learn how to fly it. I felt the same way. I just got my first power kite. It's a 5m² kite by HQ. I have to do this kite thing.

this guy obviously knows how to work with his kite and air flow !

HUUURRAAAAAAAAA. VERY GOOOOOOOOOOOODD. CRAZY

You are nuts dude, much respect though! that is a hefty but of hangtime!

well done. nicely controlled on t comedown...

Now that's what I'm talking about :-)

incredibile!! bellissimo!!! grande sangue freddo e controllo del kite... ti invidio per l'emozione fantastica che devi avere provato!! grandissimo!!

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?

I was hooked on my spreader bar yes but I was holding on in a way that if the rope snapped suddenly (rope between the handles) I wouldn't lose grip. In other words, I was holding those handles bloody tight! On another note, teathered flying (with someone holding the rope the other end) is very safe, I control lift etc but so does the person on the ground .....bit like flying 2 kites at once. Always soft landings!

damn i want one of those

@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)

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

holy shit!!

Your right, after watching it a second time and looking closely I could see the line going down from the harness.. But still..!! good airtime

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

Amazing

The kite is a 10.5m blade. We get great height by having a 80m rope attached to the 'kiter' and then have 2 people pull him as fast as possible when he makes a jump. Same principal as para gliding.

@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)

He’s climbing a invisible ladder

@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)

@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.

Glad you like the vid! The kite is a blade 10.5m. Great kite for big lifts!

That was skill!!!!!

woow, i'll try that when i'm going to the coast....

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

Thanks man, beleive it or not but I'm scared of heights too! Was a rush though!

I get it - the flyer is flying the kite, and his mates are flying him and the kite....tres cool.

I think people are just saying he's tethered. You can see it if you pause at 0:29.

lol Jetpack :D

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

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

Opening⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆

were you hooked in or just holding on? ive been 30ft in the air on my 10m venom in 30-40mph winds and the rush is incredable. im not condoning tethered flying but my hat goes off to you for that flight.

Thanks, I was just about to trade my kite in for a teach yourself sword swallowing kit. Also thanks to the person who warned me that my kite can be quite nasty - i'll be careful and ask other kiters to keep an eye on me.

This IS NOT a parachute, this is a FOIL KITE, foil kite requires WIND to keep the cells INFLATED without wind the cells will deflate which basically means that he is holding on to a piece of flacid material. Yes, whilst he goes down the cells will probably inflate slightly, but not enough! And yes the chances of the wind dropping to nothing is not huge, but there is still a possibility and at that height its pretty dangerous.

amazing

If you look carefully at the beginning you can see my 2 mates pulling me, hence the 'string' on my back! Its the same principal as para gliding. What would be the point in making a fake?

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

@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.

No you dont need a New Kite for Hangtime :)

If one of the lines snapped the kite would go into a spin, you would come down fast but not fatal ..... letting go is the last thing on my mind when I'm up that high!

everyone this is called man lifting where you get a big kite harness your self to the ground so you dont fly a way its fun and looks cool so it is still considered jumping so it is not fake

@muldoon55 Even though I'm frightened of heights, I loved it. I didn't realize how high I went until I watched this video.

me too but im getting a 13m slingshot

holy shit

Not Bad for a landkiter ;)

It's a Blade 10.5, great fun!

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

OMG! SUPERMAN LIVES!

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

he has a harness hooked up to his kite, so there's a low probability of him plummeting downward toward the ground. and his being attached to with a rope to the ground makes it so he doesn't fly away, so yes, it still is a jump...

@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.

lol lol yes your right i have been flying for years and easy but not that easy to do this stuff ,,,, good on ya chasta and len 10 would think this is awsome !!!!!me to good one mate ,,,,, matt

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

If you are tethered to something or some one, you have to make sure all the lines are capable of taking all the strain put on them. It can be pretty safe if you do a bit of maths before attempting it. Thinking about learning by your mistakes when dealing with that power is potentially a fatal error.

Looks like he's climbing the sky

Don't let our video put you off. We like to do things a bit different. In this video I have a 80m rope attached to me while 2 mates pull me down the beach and that's how we get such high lift. You will soon get to know your limits with the size of the kite and the strength of the wind. Have fun!

I'm the one in the air and believe it or not, I'm scared of heights! Was one hell of a rush though!

Wow

@TheDisturbed11 1 Yes 2 The more the better (A beach is a good place) 3 Yes if you have never flown a kite otherwise no 4 Best to have someone with you who can teach it to you 5 Yes 6 With a 4m kite.... min of 15mph (20mph is best)

You are Nice :D !!

I need to get a bigger kite!! Mine is only a 3 meter so i don't have any lift whatsoever... Looks awesome!! But i have to go with others comment, if your lines snap... you're wasted...

GREAT REDIRECTING btw, people could learn a thing or two

@matthei1996 On the end of the strings I am holding very tight!

Spiderman is back

that was high up.......he could look king kong in the eyes!!!!!!!!

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

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

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

The kite was a blade 10.5. The wind speed was only about 15mph but with two of my mates pulling me on a 80m rope and me banking the kite hard from side to side, gave me so much lift. I wanted to keep going but my mates were soon knackered pulling me on sand .... wimps lol
