reefaddicted Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Does anyone have the prism trick flying dvd laying around? Not sure if that's the actual title or not but I know it teaches you some basic kite tricks and I would love to get my hands on a copy Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyzakite Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I found a Flight School with Dodd Gross dvd case by new tech kites. When I looked inside the case the dvd is called Freestyle Pilot from Prism copyright 2003 if that means anything. I never viewed it, don't know or care what's on it.

SparkieRob Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 The prism DVD is ok. Freestyle Pilot. I got one a a while back. It's good if you prefer to watch a DVD rather than stream from the net. I think "Trick or Treat" DVD from Tim Benson is a little more up to date. Better production too. Has more flying sequences. Dodd's 6 step was really helpful to me. Also Randy G's stuff was good. But they are both net based.

John Barresi Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 No leads but I think there were two DVDs... "Way to Fly" and "Way to Fly Advanced".Have you tried calling Prism directly?Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitedad Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I have one - I think it came with an e3 I bought for my boy, the kite is long gone. He gets bored listening to the way the guy talks, . I have it in my hand Its called Freestyle pilot. It's definitely the one from Prism, Prism is printed right on it. If you want it I will give it to you for free. email me if you want it. You have first dibs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadge Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 The Prism DVD is old but OK. Trick or treat is great when you have the basics down but if you are just getting into it then it will probably confuse rather than help as it assumes you already have a basic skill level. The best I've found is Dodd Gross kite school - it starts from absolute basics right through to complicated combination - if you look on youtube all the scetion are there for free. these are two to start with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BxVhl3Z3ao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbxWySL5MRk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmcneil Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 The entire thing (Freestyle Pilot) is on You Tube in sections. "The Way to Fly" is the older version and is on You Tube in its entirety. Freestyle Pilot is on Amazon for $17. It also comes with certain Prism kites [emoji1].

John Barresi Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Looks like we had two active discussions going under two identical topics, now merged - sorry if it throws anyone off, but continuity seems to be fairly intact.

reefaddicted Posted September 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 So if this is considered the basics I'm ready to move on[emoji3]: Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app Ok so I just got 2 new kites in the mail today. They are the largest dual line kites I've ever flown. I got the jammin which is 86" and the widow ng special which is 96" with that being said I'm going to put my foot in my mouth with the above statement. I am not used to a large kite so back to practicing the basics. I did not think it would be this much different lol[emoji23][emoji41]Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 That is what I mean about a 'full sized' kite. Between 7-8 foot. I could see how people trying to learn on a smaller kite would quickly lose interest, as the size goes down, the difficulty goes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefaddicted Posted September 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Yeah for me the small 48" kite was easier to fly. Don't get me wrong I can get the kite in the air and keep it up but even snap stalls are way different on a full size kite. I'm going to love every second of learning thoughSent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmcneil Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 That's one of the nice things about kiting - it's easy to make it all new again (2 line, 4 line, foils, etc.). Can get expensive though [emoji12]. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefaddicted Posted September 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Yeah my wife says every time I start a new hobby I go all in right away lol. I told her it's the only way I know. After breaking my first kite and not having anything to fly for a week I now have 4 dual line kites to fly so if one is down I can order parts and still fly another while waiting Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
