I just wanted to say that i think that the videos I have seen are
pretty crappy when it comes to teaching kiting. They try to hype
everything by stringing a bunch of fast action clips, and it is too
much to take in at once. Frequently they just don't show things; the
Boost video only has one clear shot showing what is going on with
both the kite and ther rider when the rider jumps - the clip is in
full speed, about 5 seconds long, and it is not even shown with the
jumping lesson!
