I don't know if it's fake or not, but that is an entertaining video! Good find.

i call fake. its not a given, but any vid like that which has the principle object disappear for even a split second, raises suspicion.

I call fake on both. In both of them, the velocities involved would result in major injuries. In the second, there is no way the guy could have hung onto the grips. And if the chute is strapped to his wrists, you can say bye bye to his arms. The first one I am sure is edited to make the distances look longer than they really were.

A terrific display of video compositing in both videos. With the first one being a far better job.

your actually strapped to the kite by a harness you wear, kind of like a front facing parchute harness. did you notice the object in the background coming in towards the begining tho? def questionable, but quite possible if you were stupid enough to be kite boarding in front of an airport.

i call fake on both.
the first one there would have to be a rocket strapped to his back to gain the momentum needed to clear that distance off that ramp and wat the **** are the odds that he landed dead center in that little pool. if it is real, how many times did thay **** up and he overshot it or fell short?? lol

Fake as hell. That guy would have been destroyed falling like that into a few ft of water.

From the grapevine they say it's going to be a German advertisement for some Microsoft Office software.

The first one is easy to explain. Who's to say it was a human that took off from the ramp and landed in the pool. I'm sure after a bunch of attempts, they got the distance down, put a pool at the end for a landing, and used a crash test dummy or sandbag or whatever would fly like that. After the splash, the guy who's already in the pool gets up, and cheers.

yeah^^^

No way that's real. Look at the depth of the pool, which seems to be sitting on some type of wood platform. If a real person flew through the air like that and landed in that little pool, they would die on impact.

The pool would need to be about 20 feet deep.

Must have been a lot of work filling up that pool in the middle of nowhere.
