West Australian Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I have Lots of Videos for you all, some shot ages ago, but never published some shiny and new. No Pro's here, just some Aussies having fun. Enjoy. First up a quick shot of Rob Flying the NPW Sylvester. http://youtu.be/AbSiu231DBg Next I am mucking around on the 2 stack. http://youtu.be/9nAxgBClo0E In this scene I am Flying the 2 Stack, Rob is on the Rev 1. All goes well untill he Attacks! http://youtu.be/rIxD_6_Gln8 This is a new video of me flying the Rev 1 in light winds. Just trying to keep it in the sky. http://youtu.be/yE8TWzbnHf0 This is the SUL from a new perspective http://youtu.be/dMZnTuN9Gok I hope you saw something you liked.

SHBKF Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Very helpful to see these. I most resemble the "just trying to keep it in the air" video. Some recent help I've received from my KiteLife masters is to slow down a bit. Now I can see it in the videos where before I did not. Also I can now watch a kite video seeing the inputs by the flier & how the kite responds. Thanks so much. Your fans are watching. Sylvester is very cool with Rob on the lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHBKF Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Just a little reflection from the Dark Side of the Highlands of Virginia on this Christmas afternoon. Somehow I feel a great kinship with my Kitelife friends of Australia. It may be through my Irish surname somehow. When I read the posts, watch the videos & chat a bit, I know I would be right at home flying side by side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Australian Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 New Video to Add..... A little Urban Trek for me. The winds were really strange, With the trees, Traffic and Building. I kept getting pushed around and spent most of the time trying to keep control. Well let me know what you think: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul LaMasters Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 My only thought is to use a moment of caution when picking a flying spot. i think you might be liable for a traffic accident, since you're so close to the road. Tough to explain in court (or to an insurance company!) that the reason a driver had crashed "could be interrupted as YOUR fault". With that said, I admire the challenge you have taken-on by flying in such a a restricted airspace with turbulence to boot, on short lines.

West Australian Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Indeed Paul the distraction problem did cross my mind. I commented on such concerns in the roadside flying thread. This spot is fairly hidden from the road by those trees. Given that every park I can fly at is bordered by roads, I don't see it ever being risk free. In a world where people sue each other over the stupidest things my only risk free choice is to stay home. So I choose to take the chance and have a fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
