This is one of my favorite videos; even have it loaded in my iPod.
I chuckle everytime I watch it and see those two with their backs turned, never once even glancing over towards the kite.


Does anyone know if it is on youtube somewhere?

I have searched a lot, but found nothing... Posted Image

Thanks!

People are like Slinkys. Basically useless but fun to watch falling down stairs.

Thanks, but no. I was thinking of:

"...It's the Revolution kites Light wind Technique DVD by Joe Hedzicki (don't know if this is how you spell his last name), dated 1/2000 and it covers bridle change, keep kite moving, surface area, the rev float, drop turns, rowing motion, pumping, light lines and sensitivity. "

Anyone?

There is also the excellent JB light wind tutorial on learnkites.com in HD. You will need to subscribe to get it.

I've made a light wind video too which you can check
Wind was about 4 Mph.

http://www.youtube.c...h?v=v6C4BmtD2UY

Used B-Pro with RaceRods on 100 ft lines.


Notice that the right equipment is half of the light wind way of flying...the other half is practice and practice !!!
It's not the size of your Rev.. its how you use it.
Seven days without flying a Rev makes one weak.

Sorry to duplicate, I just posted this info on another semi-related topic...

Have you seen the light wind tutorial I did?

http://kitelife.com/...ng-hd-1280x720/

Also, I recommend looking at the Sail Loading technique as well...

http://kitelife.com/...ng-hd-1280x720/

They're accessible to Kitelife subscribers ( http://www.kitelife.com/subscribe.php ) only, but if you're interested, they are there. :)


The full collection of tutorials is listed at http://www.learnkites.com

16 outdoor Rev tutorials, 9 indoor Rev, 1 dual line, 26 tutorials in all - some of them are on YouTube.

Any info from 2000 is pretty dated... Revolution flying, or more so the collective knowledge, took a real leap starting in 2006, full stride by 2008.

Even the best pilots have experienced somewhat of a "revolution" in their own flying over the past few years. ;)

Thanks, I enjoy your video's very much (subscriber), and have paid special attention to sail loading and light wind flying. It just seems that some of the posters praise this particular light wind movie even though it is old..

And personally I figured out the float from other videos (Scott Weiders Zen video eg.) and some posts form this helpful site. So I am just curious to see if I can find even more tips and hints on light wind tecnique ;-)
