what this space. Frankieflyin unedited. sorry wayne but video is at 250%. had to fit it in. well worth it

However my accident was 13 years ago. I started to fly kites 3 years ago. I too was a crazy snowboarder but knew where to draw the line between pleasure and pain. Copped a few fractures. Nothing to major. Im glad that flying kites has been benifical for you too and for others as it has been for me. Thanks Rob.

My partner Fiona just found this ****** last year at FOTW14 i started flying at 7.30 and was one of the first. But i KNOW i was the last. I was still flying after everyone packed up and went home. The only reason i packed up was that it was dark!!! I had 20 min lunch break. Thats it. They even had to bring water out to me because they were concerned for me. I know. Im a freak... Might have something to do with that OCD Fiona reckons i have. I just love flying.....my mind is free. Since accident that is about the only thing that free's my mind .

you mean like this video its very tough trying to fit flying to music... but when you get it right can be pretty good.. check this out.. Again i will repeat. I don't use any trick photography. The trick is how you edit. I use different speed changes in order to fit flying in to short song. Sometimes its 200%, sometimes it 166%. i usually say if i speed it up. But YouTube have some antishake filter i use so filming isn't all shakey when filming from my forehead. Thats why the type sometimes moves. its a real pain in the £$%^%£""£!£$%^&&* p.s. before my accident I worked as a graphic designer, so using a computer was my job. I was quite successful at what i did and even ran my own business from home while working a full time job. I worked a 3 day shift of 12 hours a day. So i had 4 days to run my own business. (Oh the beauty of being young and ambitious.)

Thanks heaps ay. It means alot to me. You guys don't have any idea of the amount of hours I've put in alone in park trying to learn to fly. It would take a person who worked a 9-5 job over 10 years to get the flying hours I do in 6 months. There just isn't enough hours in a week. I fly nearly every day. And have been since owning a rev. Thats 3 years. Nearly every day.... With no one to tell me what im doing wrong and what im doing right. well after all this talk about flying. Made me wanna go for fly. Im outta here..... Goin for a fly up road at local park before it gets dark. Thanks for everything people. Chat soon. (might go and make some handle adjustments and see how it feels being 'slouched' you may say)

another cracker hot off the press!!!! Be sure to watch entire video as there is something special for everyone who asked at end...lol

I don't use any trick photography. the trick is to edit out the bits that are boring... .I don't use trick photography. That's all my flying, no trick photography. speed changes YES sometimes to fit flying in to music. My editing skills aren't that good. In editing you need to make decisions about what is in and what is out. Im not very good with making decisions because i need time to process things. So in other words I wouldn't be able to pump videos out like I am doing. To tell everyone the truth......Flying lately has become my life. I get obsessive about things..... And lately its been my flying. Fiona my partner tells me I get slightly OCD...hardcore!.

I hear you loud and clear. I just wished I was filming in morning of festival of the winds 2014. They started to pump the music and was a crazy track. I absolutely went off. And I wasn't that good. But I danced the kite as well as dancing myself in a way that I've only seen jb do. I regret not filming because the next song was a real downer...... Sounded like " let's go fly a kite, up up in the sky, let's go fly .....'. You get the picture. ... Hope so otherwise I sound like a real idiot. So back to point yes I need to fly to music. Love it. .... Sent from my GT-S7275T using Tapatalk

Also since there is no real reason for me to get real good with my flying because there is no competition over here in the land downunder. I'm sure if there was that would drive me to be 'more professional' about flying. So in other words people just see me as that freak kite dude in sydney.[emoji13] Sent from my GT-S7275T using Tapatalk

Thanks jb. It's just that no one really knows what I'm going thru and have been thru unless you have actually experienced it. I think Wayne can relate a lot to what I'm saying because he has experienced something along those lines. Please understand that I'm not getting angry with the criticism. Its good. Anything you guy's say is going to wear more weight than that of someone in sydney. Because no one flys em here. I want to upload my cracker video to channel so stay tuned. ....

I was saying look how much my flying has improved because if I can see a difference, (and I see my flying on daily basis) then there must be a pronounced improvement. I'm slowly trying to make my style with what people are telling me so that it becomes my style and I don't have to think about it. I fly best when my mind is free. When I need to concentrate my mind is not free anymore. My flying shows it. When my mind is free everything flows. That's my style. So if i can change my style so that I don't need to think about it. It would become a win win situation Sent from my GT-S7275T using Tapatalk

Well thanks everyone. I equalized lines only a month ago when I snapped top right line. - my 30' set are now 20-25. Now to tell you the truth I haven't played with adjustments of handles except for when I use custom UL (Which has no bridal). Now guys don't pick my flying apart with your new found secret of speed control. .......lol Im not jb.... Remember this. Have only been flying 3 years. I fly for therapy. Yes my goal is to one day be as good as him. Not that this is actually possible because I am damaged goods. But close would do me. I feel that I'm on the right path. When I fly my mind is free. I just try to be smooth and fluent. Yes everything is all flowing into one. That's how my mind works. I'm not thinking about having to go from point to point. I just do it. Feel that breeze and flow with it. I feel that I am slowly incorporating more running track to my flying. Now to do what you are saying means that I really have to think about what I'm doing. I don't think when I fly. I just do it. So I've got to slowly train my brain to incorporate distinct moves to frame each section. My flying shows how my brain works. In other words its a complete mess! Sent from my GT-S7275T using Tapatalk

Yeah. But won't i loose brake? Sent from my GT-S7275T using Tapatalk

so is anyone going to comment?????

Found some footage of me & Mike flying at the Festival of the winds 2014 Bondi Beach, Sydney

BONDI BEACH FESTIVAL OF THE WINDS STARTS THIS FRIDAY. 3 DAYS OF FLYING ON SYDNEYS ICONIC BONDI BEACH. #THEY ARE THE ONLY 3 DAYS OF THE YEAR YOU ARE ALLOWED TO FLY THERE. SO LOOK OUT ....... HERE COMES FRANKIE

Check out how much my flying has improved!!!!!! I am all self taught from the word go. Come long way in just 3 years

Thats what i know i need to do. Put pigtails on kite. I've been adjusting from handles and yes it does feel weird with no bridal. Perhaps the pigtails on kite would make more of a difference

To tell you the truth I just really noticed what you are saying. When flying high towards sun it appears yellow and down low goes to lime

Hope you enjoy this one Wayne. Found some 6 month old footage

Daily dose of Frankie

but i think im past the point of remembering to keep wind on my back......lol . indoor flying there is no wind

thats what i was going to say... you just need to run faster than the wind...... hahaha

Sorry I don't understand what you are saying. Keeping wind on your back? I'm confused. Sent from my GT-S7275T using Tapatalk

If jb can fly in amongst the trees. ... Why can't I? Well I have already proved that to myself. Sent from my GT-S7275T using Tapatalk
