What is the best stunt kite video to impress the wife with?

[kitetime]

I want to show my wife what stunt flying is really about and show her all the different tricks that can be done. And since I can't myself yet... What do you think is the best video to show this. Something with mellow music I think would be best as she isn't into hard rock. Something with many cool tricks, but also nice slow parts too. And of course good camera angles. Thanks for you help, and thanks for helping the wife understand

A few suggestions, take a look and see what you think.

Single Rev -

Rev Team -

Dual Line -

Yep, I think the Dual Silver Fox video looks good with good music. John, you are truly a master and I am humbled to even be in this same virtual room with you. Really cool.

Thanks

Since I just bought the Dual Prism Quantum, I will show her the Quad demos later. I.e. when I decide to buy a quad. Those quad demos are almost too good, if i showed her those now she might say, why didn't you buy a quad.

(Gee, looking at the videos it makes me think how I thought I was cool cause as a kid I could do tricks with a single line kite. Little did I, and little do I know)

I'm tickled to have you on the forum, I think it's safe to say we're all happy to help, anytime.

Look around on this site for some high res vids. The low resolution videos have a lot of "trailing" when the kite is moveing fast. The music in that one will suite your needs.

I'm out of time and cant find any of my favorites. Look for a guy that goes by Ant Man from Norway. A video of a two man team fly is pretty impressive. You may also want to find a video of a kite event so she knows there is a large kite culture and your not a freak. I like videos without music because you can hear the imputs required to do the tricks.

JMPVW73, The videos you linked to are Quicktime, and since my wife will be viewing at her work (don't we all do this) I don't think her work computer will support them and she is not savvy enough to figure them out.

Yes, a video of a couple, man and woman, flying duals would be great. Or just two people flying duals would be good. Might inspire her to join me.

A good kite competition would be good to show the size of the sport, and to show the choreography. It could show the relaxant parts and the trick parts. Great ideas, thanks.

John, thanks for the kind words.

As I am mainly into Quads I would have suggested the Cool Rev 1 on the beach with John at the handles.

Thank you so much John for saveing me the trouble of posting a link to it :-)

Both the Quad videos are great. In fact as I mentioned they are too good. I bought a dual and I don't want to sell the wife on the quad, yet.

[ant man]

yea man that silver fox would be a wife pleaser i bet.. but the skillz of a rev landing on her hand or head will be priceless too

Fun flying and a pretty neat backing track.

Both the Quad videos are great. In fact as I mentioned they are too good. I bought a dual and I don't want to sell the wife on the quad, yet.

You really needed to capitalize the word YET!

Once you have the addiction you'll end up with a quad eventually LOL. Or you could get it REALLY bad and be like John who probably has enough quads to wallpaper a large house.

I much prefer the terminology, kite cave.
