Frankieflyin Posted August 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Here is one of my first videos. I dedicated it to JB when i made it. He inspired me to fly in amongst the trees and to push the limits of my flying. Not bad flying considering it was a while ago. It tells a short story of my struggle to have fun fly at the location. So JB, if you read this.... This one is for you! Hope you enjoy!. Would love to hear some feedback.Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makatakam Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi, again. I've watched your videos which you've posted here, and some at your site via the link you posted. I would categorize you as an advanced flyer and as such need to work on refining timing, execution, and smoothing the transitions between moves. In normal time you look really good. The double-speed videos always exaggerate flaws, no matter how minor and make them noticeable. Not knowing how "lumpy" the wind is that you normally fly in, by the movement of the kite I would have to guess that it is just as horrible as it is here in the midwestern US. Other than further refinement to technique and learning or creating some new moves, I would say that you are ready for the "big time". Get out there and give JB some competition! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankieflyin Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Thanks for some feedback. Only been flying 3 years so I know i need alot more practice. However i've come a long way in my recovery and flying. Don't think i could handle the thought of competition. Makes me weak in the knees ......hehe. Don't think JB has much to worry about with me giving him some competition. :rev_clockwork: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankieflyin Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 HOWEVER I wish we had any level of competitive flying here in SYDNEY or even AUSTRALIA for that matter. It just doesn't exist. I'm sure it would improve my flying even faster! But from what I've seen competitive flying is at another higher level again. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE Im sure you would say......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankieflyin Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 thats what i need. an indoor rev! and perhaps a b series mid vent, oh and a b2 while im at it! Ha ha ha. It's talk like that that leads to an addiction....

Wayne Dowler Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 No organized national team that I know of. There are some scattered pockets of fliers over there. Just that country is so big and spread out that few could go to every festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankieflyin Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Yeah i agree. Just a thought. It would be nice though to have a team representing us downunder lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankieflyin Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 what did you think of that last video by the bay??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkieRob Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Two teams come to mind; Vortice, & The Phoenix Kite Collective. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankieflyin Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Where are they based? QLD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkieRob Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Not sure about Vortice. Phoenix Kite Collective, essentially started up in Qld when one of the founders, Baz Poulter, moved to Oz. they have got a regular 4 that fly out of the Redcliffe Kite Club. They are having their "Kite Fest" this weekend if you can get along. Great bunch of people. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 The last vid is a bit too manic for my taste - but I've suffered a stroke and it's MHO on it. Smooth things out so we can see your real skills!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankieflyin Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 yeah i few people have told me they don't like it. Think i need better editing skills so i don't need to play at double speed. Its just im not good with making decisions (its one of my disabilities). I need time to process ... (perhaps abit slow) Especially when its your own flying you must edit and want to put it all in! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankieflyin Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hope you like this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankieflyin Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 And Yes not my best axles... heheh.. i know. still trying to perfect. Think i need to be a paying subscriber to get there benefits of tutorials from JB himself. Im just so paranoid with Credit card details and the internet.. But I'll sort something out soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Use PayPal for the payment. It's a 3rd party pay system that keeps your bank info private. Used it now for 3 years with no issues, plus I can use it for any internet site that uses it. Much better on the video!! I also have issues, so the real time video is way more pleasing to the eye. I too still have axel issues, try flattening the kite out, then pulling the axel move! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
