Here is one of my first videos.

I dedicated it to JB when i made it.

He inspired me to fly in amongst the trees and to push the limits of my flying.

Not bad flying considering it was a while ago.

It tells a short story of my struggle to have fun fly at the location.

So JB, if you read this....

This one is for you!

Hope you enjoy!.

Would love to hear some feedback.Cheers

Hi, again. I've watched your videos which you've posted here, and some at your site via the link you posted. I would categorize you as an advanced flyer and as such need to work on refining timing, execution, and smoothing the transitions between moves. In normal time you look really good. The double-speed videos always exaggerate flaws, no matter how minor and make them noticeable. Not knowing how "lumpy" the wind is that you normally fly in, by the movement of the kite I would have to guess that it is just as horrible as it is here in the midwestern US.

Other than further refinement to technique and learning or creating some new moves, I would say that you are ready for the "big time". Get out there and give JB some competition!

Thanks for some feedback.

Only been flying 3 years so I know i need alot more practice.

However i've come a long way in my recovery and flying.

Don't think i could handle the thought of competition. Makes me weak in the knees ......hehe.

Don't think JB has much to worry about with me giving him some competition. :rev_clockwork: :rev_clockwork: :clap2:

HOWEVER I wish we had any level of competitive flying here in SYDNEY or even AUSTRALIA for that matter.

It just doesn't exist.

I'm sure it would improve my flying even faster!

But from what I've seen competitive flying is at another higher level again.

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE Im sure you would say.........

Not sure about Vortice.

Phoenix Kite Collective, essentially started up in Qld when one of the founders, Baz Poulter, moved to Oz. they have got a regular 4 that fly out of the Redcliffe Kite Club.

They are having their "Kite Fest" this weekend if you can get along. Great bunch of people.

yeah i few people have told me they don't like it.

Think i need better editing skills so i don't need to play at double speed.

Its just im not good with making decisions (its one of my disabilities). I need time to process ... (perhaps abit slow)

Especially when its your own flying you must edit and want to put it all in! haha :mf_party::rainbowwave::nopity::big_bangin:

Use PayPal for the payment. It's a 3rd party pay system that keeps your bank info private. Used it now for 3 years with no issues, plus I can use it for any internet site that uses it.

Much better on the video!! I also have issues, so the real time video is way more pleasing to the eye. I too still have axel issues, try flattening the kite out, then pulling the axel move!

Are you talking about Steve De Rooy.

He is the man.

Bazzer makes the b pro's.

Didn't know that he can fly 2 revs at once.

Would love to meet bazzer and steve.

Think its this weekend.

I have family plans this weekend unfortunately
