unsure how im feeling after seeing Ruben carrying his board into the water by the handle.....
😂😂😂
Dark times were living in
Giel in ep 1. "I have no clue which kite is which..." Ep 2, gets 6 out of 8 right by himself 😜 Great testing!
It would be surprising if a pro didn't have a good understanding of the different kite designs
Good stuff . Can’t wait for the highlight reel of Mark’s Chest 🥰
1. North Orbit 2. Air Rush Lift 3. F One Trigger … those are my guesses based on no experience with either one of those kites 😀!
Yeah! 😁Again, very interesting and entertaining with these three awesome kiters. Thank you Colin and team for making that happen. Much appreciated 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾😎
It feels like mark is secretly being filmed😂
Giel knows his stuff!
He is sooo on point with his analysis. Strange to see that it is sometimes complete opposite with Ruben comments (on the Trigger and Harlem).
I absolutely love these videos. So amazing on so many levels. Can't wait for episode 3
Thank you for the great vid! This is the best kite test out there! Although I would have liked to have the naish pivot in there as well. Cheers!
Great test. Lot of fun. It is a shame that some major brands are not participating. I think that it is not about winning, if a kite ends up in the final it has won already. IMO, if it flies well then it is all about personal preferences.
The reviews were surprisingly honest. You guys did an amazing job.
love it! those drone shots are incredible!
Came for the kite test, stayed for marc's chest
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Queens of the Stoneage are back, this is not a coincidence.
The vibe, the material, the everything is great ! thanks
Another great edit, very fun to watch the riders and hear their thoughts.... but unfortunately, Marc's chest is the big loser in all this as I'm pretty sure it's usually a lot fuller when he's not doing his 10kg KOTA cut 😂
I think it's so funny when you interview Marc.
Congrats to Airush in this one 🤙
🥇 North Orbit
🥈 Airush Lift
🥉 Ozone Edge
Great video! Love the sarcasm!
Brilliant insights... also love mark's chest... he is such a good looking guy, Colin you shouldn't be ashamed to show your feelings...
so much work in this videos, hope they pay out! Love the joke about impressive- not such impressive
11:56 lol 🤣"accident"
The idea is great, videos absolutely amazing. Nice footage, music, preparation, crew ... Loved all videos, although in this one the Core was obvious, so I'm not sure how unbiased this test will end up to be.
it will be orbit, lift and nexus... you will see
Entertaining and informative! Great videography, especially the drone videography!
I'll guess the kite by it's shape before I can make out that tiny-ass image in the left corner. Never know what kite they are talking about! 🤣 Love the content Colin- best kite content online right now!
Crazy Airush boosts!! Airush Lift did win the big air kite test before!
Core paid a bit extra for an invisibility cloak 😂
thank you, colin.
My money is on the Wipika
with these camera skills.. aka marcs chest, you could soon be filming one of the big air events and missing half the tricks
Giel’s knowledge and feedback is insane.
It is impressive and they are very impressive!
Killing it dude! 👏🏼 Love your shit!
we would enjoy a remake of this with better camo for current versions of the kites, pretty good content. has the potential to be a genuine review, most of the other reviews are biased due to the obvious involvement of the brand
They all say they think the wind picked up when they tried the lift, so did the lift just have more power? Because they tried the kites in different orders right?
Could also have 9.5sqm and no one measured 🙈
so sick guys!
I think its gonna be 1.Airush Lift 2.North Orbit 3.slingshot Code / Nexus Core
Do you think that knowing which kite is what affect their judgment?
One thing I don't understand with the Harlem kite is wich one did you test ? You put the name Strike on screen but with the image of the Go...
But otherwise fantastic video !
Very good test but what is Nexus doing in the mix? Core have Big air kite and its not a Nexus.. and what about those lyrics on the screen :DD
Overall very good.. Would love to see how pivot compares to the rest..
Giel answers that at the end, doesnt he?
were is ep3 its killing me 😂😂
When Geil says it took him 10mins to find the sweet spot for takeoffs what is he referring to? How far to pull in the bar? Where to position the kite? How long to wait after sending it to 12?
Why don’t you take the xr I think it’s quiet better for big air kiting than the nexus
Bro where's episode 3?! Why do you keep us waiting like that. I need that juicy CCC content.
I release an early draft for premium members - ko-fi.com/megapod
I think Colin is in love with mark's chest ...
No duotone kites (dice or rebel) in the test?
Hi there , why is the “code” in this big air contest? Isn’t the machine or rpx Slingshot their big air kite?
Just wondering, why did you pick Ocean Rodeo Rise for ep.1 of Blank Kite (which was supposed to be about all around kites) and not for ep. 2?
They already answered it. For the 1st episode they tested the kite the brands were willing to send. And not many brands knew what was going to happen. I mean a test with Colin as Chief Officer, pretty dangerous to me 😅
@@Baptiste_L thx, this I have heard, however the whole situation is a bit weird to me - Rise is a big air machine which should be in BigAir episode and not Freeride episode :( I am super hyper interested in what Ruben and Marc would have said about Rise
@@balonikowaty but then I am interested in what they would say about more kites and brands too.
Did you let them talk first to each other and recognize the kites together and then choose what they like the most? I would have done it in opposite order
Yes, I have the similar question. It may affect their "judgement" knowing the brand.
Should have tested Eleveight XS also
Watch ep1 for the xs ;)
Who is better testers? That do you think?
Whats the first song
it says in the description bit - but it's 'The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret' by QOTSA
Public agent Colin seduces 3 kite surfers to test his kites.
great video dude love the production of it. but can we get at least 1080p? quality is potatoes esp. on the water...tbh just get some decent filmer.
At any time I didn't know what kite they were using (except Core which all recognize anyway). Why in hell wasn't there clear labeling of kites when they were riding them? LOL
Stupid waste of time
