Wow! You read all 42 pages! I'm impressed. I've only read some here and there. BTW, I really like that rev in the first photo!

Here is a video with Paul's signature move. It is at 6:45 in this video http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=72...+2008&hl=en

Yea, maybe some day.

Well, the sitting in chairs I can already do. However, I prefer a swivel stool. So then I can still do an entire 360 while sitting very easily. As for flic flacs, This coming Wednesday I have some things that I'm going to work on. I think I may have to throw some weights in my kites to make it possible. What I want to do is a normal flic-flak, then I also want to do Paul DeBackert's signature move with an indoor rev.
-
Well, I don't want to call the second one the jump rope, because it is only part of the jump rope, and not the whole thing. As for the videos, does your computer have speakers?Is the sound turned up on the speakers? Is the volume turned up on the computer? Is the volume turned up on YouTube? Is the computer on mute? Are your speakers plugged in? Are you able to hear other things from your computer? I know some of the questions seem really stupid, but it happens. I'm able to hear things just fine.

While we are talking about names, here's one for you Penny. This is a trick that I have seen you do in a video, so I have gone to practice it, and I used it several times at Camas. I plan on making a tutorial video for it, and I'm not sure what to call it. I'm planning oncalling it a swep (because it sweeps along the floor or something....) The trick is seen in this video at 4:10 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2...ricks&hl=en

I just made some changes to the videos, so here are links to the redone versions. Toss and Catch: Pancake:

For guilitine, I actually have two moves with that name that I will do in one video. So far I've only made up two names: The sweep and the inverse-up-over. The sweep is where the kite is behind you, and you jump and pull the kite underneath you, then it goes up and flies. The inverse-up-over is pretty much just one round of that jump rope thing that I've seen you do, Penny. If you can think of a more suitable name for these, please let me know.
-
Well, the reason I call it a pancake is because in my mind, a flic-flak involves the kite becoming completely inverted, while a pancake involves the kite simply going flat (parallel to the floor). Plus, I have heard other people call it this. Most things I don't really know the name to, so if I don't know the name, I just make it up. Like the pancake catch and axel catch, I just made up the names. I know, I know I'm pretty clever and original XD

Well, these videos are for anyone willing to learn. If I don't do my best to make the learning as efficient as possible, then I feel like I am leaving a job half done. I have seen so much generosity in the few years that I have been involved in the kiting community, and I feel that I must do my part.
-
Thank you John. When I find time, I will go through and make some editing changes to the videos. I should be able to do it tomorrow, but I'm not sure. Do you think the music could just be turned down, or should it be completely deleted except for during the titles? My main reason for including the music is because there was a bit of white noise in the audio that could be easily heard without the music.
-
Here it is! My next video is up for all to see! This tutorial teaches you to do pancake, a pancake catch, and an axel catch with an indoor rev.
-
Wow! Those are really cool! I sent a link for the hoodie to my mom
-
I don't think I will end up taking the time to redo this video with longer lines. The information given should be enough for a person to figure it out regardless of line length. Maybe when I run out of ideas for videos, I may go back and redo some.
-
That seems like the best thing to do.... No poont in putting effort into something that is rarely used.
-
Everything would be the same for the most part. The last toss would be possible, but more difficult as the lines get longer.
-
Well, keep an eye out...... My next tutorial video will be based on that move.
-
A good line length for starting with would be about 10 - 15 feet. The main reason I was using 5 ft lines was because I was a little short on space. For some reson, the janitors put tables up at 3:00 for an event that starts at 5:00....
-
For those of you who don't know, I am making tutorial videos. These videos are all trick tutorials for flying a Revolution Kite indoors. Well, I just got the first one finished and uploaded for all of you to enjoy. Toss and Catch: Pancake: Axel: Fade: Sweep: Whip-Lash: Guillotine: THE END

Fantastic. Thanks for posting it.

Here is my video! Comp1: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=72...20814&hl=en Comp2: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=36...48438&hl=en I didn't have enough tape to get everyone in comp 2, so what you see is what you get.

I do love my erasers.
-
No, my dad and I are both coming down. I will probably end up doing most of the driving, but not all of it.
-
Well, I'm leaving home at about 1:00PM (I'm skipping my last class. I have 100.3% in that class anyway.) It's about a5 hour drive to the hotel, so hopefully we will check into the hotel some time around 6:00, and I will try to make it to the open gym.
