Great video

Neither Ruben nor Billy has squat on these Kung Fu Masters!
(too much idle time on 'net while playing poker....)

and proof that the soundtrack is everything. These guys look awesome.

Well, someone just tried to find "this" video on KF recently.
It sort of renewed my interest in it and I found it again, as well.

I ended up watching it ten times, back to back.
I have an awesome sound system on my computer, that makes a difference.
I was so impressed with this video, I wrote to the guy that edited it.
I guess Aaron Hadlow likes the editing too,

Here is some of what he wrote back (I took out some parts)

Hi Scott

Thanks for the message. I haven't looked at that vid
for a long time... I'd probably cringe if I looked at
it again. Took about two months to make 3 or 4 hours a
day. That was it basically all the footage I had,
which ...... (edit). Never made a
video longer than 10 mins, that would probably take a
year haha.

Some people don't like the choppy editing style but.....(edit out )

Anyways I'm just finishing off a vid for Aaron Hadlow
hoping to have it finished in the next week or two.
Watch this space, got some new fx no one has done
before in a kite vid ;-)

but yeah sound is 70% of what you see.

Cheers
Andy

Man, I can't wait to see this Aaron Hadlow clip!

Here is a link to the Ruben clip, it takes a long time to download (it's fairly high def, worth the wait, imo)
Once it does download, crank it, like Andy says, the sound is 70 percent of the video.

here is the cheese whiz, low grade download. The video is worth it just for the Beavis and Butthead "my kite is better than yours" sketch.

I just got another message. Here is another Andy Gordon video.
Tom, I think you will like this one.

Here is the latest Andy Gordon video. It just went live today, I believe.

This guy is awesome.

Check it out. It's worth it to download the high def version. It takes about 3 minutes.

I still liked the Ruben vid more, mainly because of the music, I think.
At least Mr. Hadlow ripped a Jimmy Page lick off of Heartbreaker near the end.

Scott, I gotta go with the Hadlow video over the Len10. I love me some soundgarden and rage, but thre effects and the fact that you see him actually land complete tricks did it for me! Thansk for sharing that though.

Cool. Andy likes his latest better than the Len10 vid too, he said in an e-mail last night.
For the Lenten video, he had to use provided footage, so I think he was sort of forced to make it choppy. He said he watched it again last night and it was all chopped up, too much so.
Funny, cuz I personally love that mtv style stuff and told him it was awesome.

I think maybe blending some MTV style with some less choppy would be cool.
He's just really good at vids and I admire that.

I am hoping he makes longer videos and sells them, but he doesn't seem to have the time.
Each one of these clips takes him about 100 hours.

Well, the Hadlow video had crazy good EFFECTS but the riding shots were pretty bad... tricks so close the are chopped, slow motion,etc. Very few riding shots over all of the effects. Anyone can spend $$ for expensive effects. I would rather see tricks than effects.

The len video of course, not many tricks but dang with kiteloops like that who needs them.

Dude that hadlow vid is sick! No complete tricks?? Someone needs some new contacts. from take off to landing, hooked and unhooked, hell both at the same time. Did you catch him launch hooked, loop, then unhook mid air then pass it? Sick sick sick! Did yo cacth him pass it by trowing the bar behind his back and grab it comming out the other side. I'm glad they slow it and frame it at some points so I even have a chance of appreciating what is going on. Matching it to the music and layering in the water sound is awesome.

Here ya' go Tom.
This video is pretty good.
