Doing what I love to do - landboard freestyle

[1991-smithy]

Hi guys,

 

Filmed this yesterday on a little camera and edited on windows movie maker. I dont have any fancy editing equipment or camera .... yet

Ran out of memory before i got the 10m out and started looping and unhooked kiteloops on the 15m

 

 

Fair play to people who make awsome videos as this took long enough lol

 

Enjoy, see some of you in Redcar

[conor]

absolutely amazing riding. you have a really original and smooth style.

it almost made up for the music

[benp]

Really good riding there how long have you been landboarding?

[peter32]

Nice video!

terrible music! had to hit mute

[harry_a]

Really fluid, and you make those varials look too easy...I'd love to be able to bust moves like that on the water! thats it, the handles going back on

[Floydoss]

super smooth riding ya got there, nice one loved it, see you at redcar, hopefully i dont get drawn against you, er panic lol

[KiteItRight]

great riding but you COULD HAVE CHOSEN A BETTER SOUNDTRACK! JEES!

[1991-smithy]

Right changed the music lol just uploading it to youtube now but youtube is taking forever to process it, itll be up ASAP,

 

really no good at this sort of thing so just put a fast paced upbeat track darude - sandstorm, any recomendations for next time lol

 

I started riding freestyle when I got my 15m synergy in late 2008, so about 18 months

 

Thanks for the response, what is good software to use??

Its coments like that which make me realize how much of a sucky, conservative, pussy, rider I really am.

 

Man, I wish I could have entered this sport some 20 years ago.

 

Great vid. I love your style

[BoooSt]

looking good dude, bit more practice and you'll be as good as me!

[danthedmrrider]

nice riding there!!

[Batz]

Bloody kids nowadays!!!! LOL! Seriously, thats a cool vid and some VERY cool tricks. Now I have to learn how to ride that landboard that decorates my car while I'm out in the buggy!

[jamesrtp]

damn i need to get some practice in. loved the frontloop transition and the grab on the backloop downloops.

[carltb]

that was sweet dude. really enjoyed that!

[carltb]

oh yea the music sucked!!!!!!!

[1991-smithy]

Cheers for the comments on the riding

What music should I use then if this still isnt right?? I havnt made a video in a long time, these are the sort of things I need to know.

[captain caveman]

3:13 holy fuck man that was sweet .... u throw that board around beautifully , watched it a few times now .

[heres jonny]

pretty nice mate, i think i need to upgrade to a Charger....that thing has some maaaaadd pop and loop ability..better than Venom 16m anyway

 

what wind are we talking there, in terms of "lightish"?

 

lovely riding :]

[Phizz]

NICE.

 

Music wise, what you need to do is get your original track (Breakfast at Tiffany's), and the Sandstorm track, and use some audio software to match the tempos and pitch, and then mix em together straight out.

[tsp13]

Nice vid, where is that spot?

[B-Roc1599968665]

IMO, I wouldn't get overly hung up on the music. Sure the best videos match the tempo of the music to the style of the riding or maybe its just that the tempo of the music influences the way in which we interpret the riding but you could have played the sound of nails scratching a chalkboard and the riding would still be good. Good music is a plus but "bad" music does not diminsh your skills. Play what music you like personally as that's what is probably in your head or ears as you are riding and it adds a more true interpretation of you as a rider as its "your" music matched to "your" riding.

 

Pet peeve... As a father who has young kids in the sport who will soon be riding above my level, the only suggestion I'd make is play music which is somewhat suitable to all audiences. My kids love to see vids of the best riders and I'd prefer to play them not while the sound is muted but I definately don't want them walking around my house dropping the F bomb or talking all ghetto-gangsta about what they are going to do with their 10 year old hoes.

@ carl-the-bullet cheers for the comment on the riding, watched many of your videos, what would u suggest as a good track then instead of just slating my choice?? Could do with some help I know!

 

@ TSP13 I think I met you at the summer jam in 2009, im from Clevedon and the location is a minutes walk from my house, Marshals Field, only good in a westerly - SW though.

 

@ Here's Jonny the wind wasn’t much between 12-16mph at a guess, not enough for my liking, and not enough to think that the 10m is needed. TBH not 100% on exact power I just judge when I get there between if the 10m can kiteloop powerfully and give me enough fun.

 

When it comes to music I haven’t got a clue, , so guess I just guessed what to put (and by the sounds of it got it wrong lol) @ Phizz, wouldn’t have a clue how to mix the two tracks up :S would turn out cool if I could though.

 

I just like to ride and wanted to share my riding with you guys, I didn’t really consider the music but before I make another video ill get some other people’s opinions first lol then hopefully ill get the right track.
