Aye, a thermos of something hot, thick socks, pants and shoes... We're coming equipped, just glad we won't need R**N coats this year.

Some video here...
http://www.teamiquad.../2011-ice-kings
It's not really the Ice Kings (titled) event, we just lucked out with some ice this time around (instead of rain) and this is a tip 'o the hat to our Snow Queen mates in Canada.

John and TK,
Thanks for the work on the videos. It was a great day. About the only complaint I have is that it would have been even better with a larger frozen puddle!

I agree Chuck, maybe we should leave a hose running on the field a day or two before the event next year? <evil grin>

The Ice Kings vid music is "To the Left to the Right" by Model T Ford.
TK's video music is a Spike Jonez piece, called "Winter".

It's all about the movement, the "rolling" sound that carries me through a visual scene and the movement of kites.
Plus, I think it should be exciting - takes energy to grab the attention of young punks.

If Spike Jonez doesn't cut it, you might try Spike Jones (and his City Slickers). Plenty of change of pace for elaborate routines.

I mean it honestly...
What grabbed the attention of *hundreds* of baby boomers in the early 90s with sport kiting just doesn't have the same appeal to younger, media-driven generations.

I hear you on that front: too much "progress" for me!! Can't cure the common cold, but sure can invent a better cellphone!! (No offense to cell users meant in any way!!) What worked in the past, doesn't have the same impact today!!
