John Barresi Posted November 26, 2014 Report Posted November 26, 2014 Finally found my muse, and made the first video from our 5 month trip around the USA... Much more to come! 9 Quote
basicbill Posted November 26, 2014 Report Posted November 26, 2014 Very cool! Looking forward to more. Bill 1 Quote
SHBKF Posted November 26, 2014 Report Posted November 26, 2014 The kite seems alive, an entity all it's own. Just getting to the point with Revs where I can do playful things as I fly. After pasting the beach trash can a few times, then dipping in & out of the top, a lady walked by & said, "Are you starting to figure it out?" She has "Know Eye Deer" of what the little kite can really do. Actually me & that trash can go back a long way. My wife did a screaming full speed lawn dart into it many years ago. After we put the kite back together she said "Want to see me do that again?" We're still laughing about that great day. A life with kites, love em. Thanks for the inspiration. Waiting for more.

NWkiteluv Posted November 26, 2014 Report Posted November 26, 2014 What a fun and playful video! I really like that song and location too. It makes me excited for next summer and getting to fly my kites on some road trips! Well done! 1 Quote
Flynhi Posted November 26, 2014 Report Posted November 26, 2014 That kite looked so relaxed laying on the net. 2 Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted November 26, 2014 Report Posted November 26, 2014 That kite looked so relaxed laying on the net. Mostly because the flier is!! I like to think the kite mimics the flier's emotions as it does it's thing! I watched some of my old indoor videos and I can see myself nervous and unsure. But I fought through that phase to be much better at it now! Even in indoor - there's nothing to replace - Time On The Lines!! 2 Quote
John Barresi Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Posted November 26, 2014 More fun fodder... 4 Quote
makatakam Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 The painted desert one is just great. 1 Quote
Fred van Curen Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 O.K. I have view them all and enjoyed them all and the music. John all I can say is none batter. Quote
Reef Runner Posted November 28, 2014 Report Posted November 28, 2014 Just great.............can't wait for the one's a little bit EAST ! You know where I'm talking about..............waiting Quote
RobB Posted November 28, 2014 Report Posted November 28, 2014 Yeah, that Painted Desert video really kicked it ! I know I'll be watching that one a bunch... *edit... came back to watch that one again. It goes so well with the music ! Pure inspiration. 2 Quote
SHBKF Posted November 28, 2014 Report Posted November 28, 2014 Ah, roadside flyin', one of my favorite things. I now find myself flying thirty foot lines more and more. The kite is up close, the window is small and so unforgiving. But it fits my style somehow and is teaching me much. I would have never considered short lines without seeing what others do with them. Flew a eight foot dualie on five meter lines yesterday, what a rush! 1 Quote
Reef Runner Posted November 28, 2014 Report Posted November 28, 2014 Fantastic, absolutely, but not the "dunes" I was hoping for..................I'm sure they're coming 1 Quote
John Barresi Posted November 28, 2014 Author Report Posted November 28, 2014 Working my way through chronologically - got a couple more to go before we hit North Carolina. 1 Quote
John Barresi Posted November 29, 2014 Author Report Posted November 29, 2014 Great Sand Dunes, Colorado. No footage from Indiana, sorry. Quote
makatakam Posted November 29, 2014 Report Posted November 29, 2014 Just teasing -- Indiana Dunes are just a wee bit smaller. Looking forward to the rest of your vids. 1 Quote
John Barresi Posted November 29, 2014 Author Report Posted November 29, 2014 Next up, pond flying in Rocky Mountain National Park. 1 Quote
John Barresi Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Posted November 30, 2014 Keeping the hits coming. http://youtu.be/ICeyJXuGIKI 4 Quote
Reef Runner Posted November 30, 2014 Report Posted November 30, 2014 Another great video, as usual ! Looked like the wind was really kicking, for a while. Can't believe you missed that last "catch"............... (just kidding, you know) 1 Quote
John Barresi Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Posted November 30, 2014 Technically I didn't miss, it was just ugly. 1 Quote
Reef Runner Posted November 30, 2014 Report Posted November 30, 2014 Technically I didn't miss, it was just ugly. Technically, I suppose you are correct..........but with a capital "U". (just couldn't resist a little harassment) 1 Quote
basicbill Posted November 30, 2014 Report Posted November 30, 2014 Probably my favorite so far. Bill Quote
makatakam Posted November 30, 2014 Report Posted November 30, 2014 Technically I didn't miss, it was just ugly. I remember you saying you would end that session with a "near miss", so it was done with intent. 1 Quote
