CONCEPT OF
MOTION
Concept of Motion takes you
there - snow kiting the best spots on Earth, the
best waves ridden by the best riders in the world,
plus whatever the land or sea has to offer.
Concept of Motion isn't about the latest
snowboarding trick, it's about the love of the
elements we play in.
These kite snowboarding videos won't be
out of date when the next new handlepass trick
comes along, i.e. tomorrow. With a solid slate of
footage, including handlepass moves, board-offs,
wake moves, snow kiting, and in particular, wave
riding, this video will last. And a great "road
trip" feel makes it an experience every one can
relate to. Some highlights include the best Lanes
(Maui) waveriding footage we've seen, ultra fun
and perfect California wave riding, a unique
Oregon Coast trip, and some awesome snowking from
Mammoth and Lake Tahoe featuring 16mm film footage
of Jason Slezak and Mark Doyle.
Other featured riders are Adam Koch,
Robby Naish, Chris Gilbert, Elliott Leboe, Stav
Narchos, Ben Meyer, Sky Solbach, Paul Macaj,
Martin Vari, Mark Shinn, Peter Trow...okay, okay,
you get it, good riders. But what we like the most
about this video is the effort the producers put
forth on all levels. It has some of the best
editing, best graphics, best effects, best flow
through the movie of anything we've seen, all
without being over the top. Darren and Floyd from
Raging Nation really stepped up for this video. It
was worth the wait.

SNOWKITE
ADDICT
This is the second
year of the Corona Extra Snowkiting tour (2004
tour), and the kite snowboarding videos from
last year, Wanna Get High, showcased how far
snowkiting has come in a short time. This year's
video shows that things have not slowed down.
While snowkiting in the US has been slow to take
off, the Europeans sure know how to take something
fun and run with it, not to mention some of their
terrain is straight out of a Dr. Seuss book. If
you think snowkiting performance lags behind
kiting on the water, you'd be wrong, Addict #2 has
the complete array of spins, grabs, and huge airs,
as well as kite-loops and other "now" maneuvers,
all over the snowpack instead of water. Get
psyched for winter.

THE NEXT
CHAPTER
It's about time we have
some kite snowboarding videos made in the US.
We'll certainly give the Euros credit for pushing
this sport into the future, but we've always had
some killer locations as well, and some core
groups of diehard snowkiters pushing the limits
behind the scenes. Paul "Motz" Macaj is a pioneer
of kitesnowboarding and a pro level guy at that.
Now he's released a video that not only has some
insane snowkiting in it, but chronicles some
history of the sport as well.
In fact, the video starts out pretty
funny, with some clips of how goofy they were back
when they were learning - you know, all of five
and six years ago. Then the action ramps up into
the modern era, culminating with the section on
Guillaume "Chasta" Chastagnol, which will quite
honestly leave you shaking your head in
disbelief.
The Next Chapter Snowboarding Video is
filmed nearly entirely in Colorado, but in
extremely varied terrain, from super flat powder,
to bowly skatepark stuff, to back country heaven.
And it is nearly 100% kite snowboarding, but the
bonus section with Alex Peterson on skis is a
must-see stunt. Other riders include Motz, Mark
Doyle, James Brown, and friends. But just for the
20 minute bonus section with Chasta is worth the
price of admission.

SECRETS OF
KITEBOARDING
John Holzhall has
now put his innovative new teaching system, the
K.I.T.E.S. teaching system, onto DVD. The theory
behind John's method is to begin flying the kite
with very very short lines, in fact no lines at at
all in the early going, and then incrementally add
line length as you progress. This way you will
have maximum control over the kite during your
least confident stage, thus preventing early
kitemares.
Body dragging with
and without the board (also on short lines) are
heavily emphasized to make going upwind easier
once you get on the board. Quite a bit more time
is spent flying the kite and body dragging without
the board on your feet than with traditional
teaching methods. However, the end result will be
a much faster and less painful learning curve. A
safe and fast teaching method will create and easy
entry into the sport.
